2025 4-star edge out of San Ramon Valley has committed to Texas AM

Boom x2!

Texas A&M added its 18th commit in the 2025 recruiting class in the last hour. Four-star edge Marco Jones joins three-star defensive lineman Chace Sims in head coach Mike Elko’s elite defensive haul just a month before the 2024 season.

The recruiting momentum started on Sunday afternoon when four-star linebacker Noah Mikhail , a California native, chose the Aggies over Oregon and USC . He became the second LB commit in the cycle alongside four-star Kelvion Riggins.

After landing three of the top five California prospects in the 2025 class, Elko and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman focused on Jones, the 11th-ranked prospect in the state. He made his official visit to College Station on June 6.

Standing 6 feet, 5 inches and 230 pounds, Jones recorded 166 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, four pass breakups, three forced fumbles and three interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns during his 2023 junior season at San Ramon Valley High School.

A versatile athlete, Jones could also pursue a professional baseball career if he so pleased. Texas A&M offers a baseball program that was one win away from its first college baseball championship. Something of note: Jones has already developed a close relationship with new Aggie baseball head coach Michael Earely .

According to 247Sports, Jones is the 122nd-ranked prospect in the cycle, the 14th-ranked edge and the 11th-ranked prospect in California.
