Texas A&M’s recruiting success since new head coach Mike Elko entered the scene has been nothing short of impressive. The former Aggie defensive coordinator wasted no time shoring up the program’s 2024 cycle while already landing 19 commitments in the 2025 cycle.
Hoping to put the finishing touches on the 2025 class this fall, the annual recruiting pool party, which takes place on the final weekend of July, could produce a handful of commitments in both recruiting cycles as we’ve witnessed in years past.
With new offensive coordinator Collin Klein now controlling Texas A&M’s play calling, Klein landed his first quarterback commit in 2025 5-star Husan Longstreet . Longstreet possesses the arm talent and dual-threat ability to thrive in Klein’s offensive scheme in the near future.
So far, Elko and his staff have secured two commits in the 2026 recruiting class. According to Rivals’ Sam Spiegelman, 2026 4-star QB Landon Duckworth is now a major target for Elko and Co., along with several other programs.
Set to enter his junior season, Duckworth decommitted from South Carolina on June 25, re-opening his recruitment while receiving plenty of interest from Texas A&M, Oregon , and UCF. South Carolina is clearly still in the race.
Due to the transfer portal’s evergrowing popularity, Texas A&M, like every program, must be prepared to lose players after every position year after year, making this news unsurprising.
During his 2023 sophomore season at Jackson HS, the Alabama native threw for 1,971 yards, 27 touchdowns, and just four interceptions while running for nearly 400 yards and five touchdowns on the ground.
According to 247Sports, Duckworth is currently positioned as the 95th-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, the 7th-ranked quarterback, and the 7th-ranked prospect in Alabama.
