Texas A&M and Oregon are in a tight battle for 2025 5-star safety Trey McNutt

It’s reportedly coming down to the wire regarding 2025 5-star safety Trey McNutt out of Shaker Heights, Ohio. Texas A&M and Oregon are fighting for his commitment, set for Friday, July 19, at 6:00 p.m. CT.

Earlier this week, On3 Recruiting Director Steve Wiltfong reported that even though Oregon remains a slight favorite to land McNutt, Texas A&M and head coach, Mike Elko are clearly in the mix after hosting McNutt for an official visit this summer.

Whether he commits to Texas A&M or not, I expect Elko and his staff to contact McNutt going forward, as nothing is set in stone until the pen hits the paper on National Signing Day. On Thursday, Wiltfong further noted that he still feels that Oregon is leading for McNutt, but A&M continues to hang around, which could result in a surprise on Friday night.

“It’s getting tight with the Aggies.”

On the field, McNutt recorded 61 tackles, two for loss, 12 pass breakups, and a forced fumble on the year while excelling as a wide receiver on offense during his 2023 junior season.

Texas A&M is also in the hunt for the other top safety in the class, 2025 5-star Jonah Williams, who several analysts still predict to land with the Aggies later this year.

According to 247Sports, McNutt is currently ranked 23rd in the 2025 cycle, the No. 1 safety prospect, and the second-ranked prospect in Ohio.
