Elite 2026 Pass Rusher Will Be at Texas A&M Aggies Opener

The Texas A&M Aggies will have a very special visitor when they go to take on Notre Dame at Kyle Field just two days from now.

Big games for programs are always massive recruiting opportunities because they show off the stadium and city environment at its absolute peak, something College Station will be at on Saturday night. Elite 2026 edge linebacker Anthony “Tank” Jones out of Mobile, Alabama will be at the game this weekend as he takes a second visit to Aggieland.

Jones praised the Aggie coaching staff to GigEm247 and said that he has loved what he's heard from them so far.

"I really enjoyed those conversations with them," Jones said . "They were some of the best I've ever had. The way they broke things down was different."

Here was Jones' official scouting report from Greg Biggins of 247 :

"Will be on the short list when talking about the best edge rushers in the '26 class. Shows off an elite get-off, can dip and bend and has great closing speed. Has the athleticism to chase down plays from behind and shows a crazy motor. Natural pass rusher at an early age and knows how to use his hands and can win with multiple counters. Doesn't rely on just a bull or speed rush but has both in his arsenal. Is a tough, physical player in run support, strong at the point of attack and hits like a truck. Can move around along the defensive line as well as play out in space. Can take on and beat a double team and has all the traits to be an immediate impact player at the next level. Ceiling is extremely high and if he stays healthy and continues to develop at his current rate, there's no reason why he won't be playing on Sunday's for a long time."
