No. 1 Linebacker In California Commits To Major SEC Program

Four-star linebacker Noah Mikhail announced his commitment to Texas A&M on Sunday. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound linebacker committed to the Aggies over USC and Oregon.

Mikhail is the No. 77 overall prospect and No. 7 linebacker in the class of 2025. He ranks as the No. 1 linebacker and No. 4 player in California, according to the On3 industry rankings .

Mikhail finished his junior season at Bonita High School with 166 total tackles, 15 tackles for loss, one sack, and two interceptions. He earned MaxPreps Sophomore All-American honors in 2022. He put together a breakout season with 112 total tackles, 13 tackles for loss, three sacks, and one interception.

Following Mikhail's commitment, Texas A&M's 2025 recruiting class ranks No. 8 nationally and No. 4 in the SEC, according to On3's Industry Team Rankings . Mikhail is the third Top 100 prospect in the Aggies' 2025 class, joining cornerback Adonyss Currie and quarterback Husan Longstreet.

With Mike Elko now at the helm of the Aggies, the program hopes to adequately utilize some of its high-end talent after an underwhelming six seasons under former head coach Jimbo Fisher.
