2027 4-star OT and Texas A&M commit visited ACC program this weekend
· Yahoo Sports
Texas A&M's No. 1-ranked 2027 recruiting class shouldn't be significantly affected by the Aggies' poor start to the 2026 season, even though four-star linebacker Aston Whiteside is visiting Miami this weekend. The Aggies' top-ranked commit, five-star OT Mark Matthews, was expected to visit this weekend, while Miami is also trying to get him on campus soon.

Under third-year coach Mike Elko, Aggie fans aren't pleased with his coaching performance this season, but every one of the 26 commits in the 2027 cycle chose Texas A&M due to their strong relationship with Elko and his staff, especially Mark Matthews, who is very close with OL coach Adam Cushing, feeling that he'll reach his full NFL potential under his development plan.
Texas A&M currently has four offensive line commitments, including four-star OT DeMarrion Johnson, who shut down his recruitment earlier this year, and will reportedly visit SMU this weekend when the Mustangs host Virginia on Saturday, AggieYell insider Jaxson Callaway confirmed.
Johnson visited the Texas Longhorns this summer just weeks after shutting down his recruitment, but the rival program isn't expected to play a major role in his recruitment going forward. Johnson has visited the Aggies multiple times this fall, but will keep weighing his options amid the Aggies' struggles this season.
