Texas A&M Early Signing Day Tracker: Every Player Coming to the Program in 2026

In this story:
The regular season has come and gone for the Texas A&M Aggies, and while they still have the College Football Playoff to worry about, they also now shift part of their attention to the 2026 college football season and the new faces that will take the field for head coach Mike Elko's third year.
The Aggies finally beat the "Texas 8-4" curse with an 11-1 regular season record, their only loss coming in the very last game to the Texas Longhorns in Austin, and a No. 7 ranking in the CFP currently has them hosting a playoff game inside the rowdy confides of Kyle Field.
And now it's time for one of Texas A&M's specialties, which is recruiting, as we now happen upon early signing day, with Mike Elko looking to keep the ball rolling in terms of elite recruitment.
Follow along as the Aggies build their 2026 recruiting class during the Early Signing Period. This real-time tracker features every official signee, individual breakdowns, position group insights, and how the class stacks up nationally.

Position-By-Position Breakdown

Offense
On offense, the Aggies got some early Christmas gifts in the form of running back KJ Edwards and tight end Evan Jacobson, both of whom are ranked in the top dozen at their position. The route-running of wide receiver Madden Williams and the physicality of tight end Caleb Tafua should also give Mike Elko plenty of options to use in his game plan. Quarterback Helaman Casuga has been a hot topic of conversation ever since he committed to Texas A&M and now that he's official, it's time to see what the Draper, UT native can really do in between the hashes. And if the offense doesn't work out, then the Aggies will have a new kicker and punter to pick up the slack.
Defense
A&M has garnered a reputation for being a defensive school, and this year was no different. Five-star defensive back Brandon Arrington made recruiting headlines back over the summer with his commitment to the Maroon and White, as well as five-star edge rusher Tristian Givens. Gabe Brooks of 247Sports likened Bryce Perry-Wright's physical style of play to that of a former Texas A&M edge rusher Nic Scourton, and the lockdown skills of defensive backs Camren Hamiel and Chance Collins should keep the Maroon and White defense as fierce as ever moving forward.
Top Commitments in the Class

At first glance, the top commits for Texas A&M are Arrington, Givens, Perry-Wright, Edwards, and Casuga.
Arrington, a five-star defensive back out of Mount Miguel High School, chose the Aggies over the Alabama Crimson, Oregon Ducks, and Washington Huskies, and could even see him taking on a two-way player role like Travis Hunter did if the coaches are will to give him the reps.
Givens, another five-star player, was likened to James Pearce Jr. of the Atlanta Falcons, a rookie who has taken the NFL by storm with his combination of speed and strength, and this Georgia edge shouldn't be too much different for the Maroon and White, totaling 30 sacks in the 2023 and 2024 seasons combined.
Perry-Wright had many believed that he would be leaning towards the Clemson Tigers or even the Texas Longhorns but held true to his commitment to the Aggies and signed with the school Wednesday morning. Brooks has called Perry-Wright disruptive from the interior and on the edge, regardless of stance.
Edwards brings explosiveness to an A&M running back room that is about to say goodbye to their two most prominent factors, and his effectiveness in the passing game should fit him well in the Aggie game plan.
Casuga chose the Aggies over the BYU Cougars, Auburn Tigers, and Arizona Wildcats. His dual-threat ability, accuracy, and collectiveness under pressure make him the perfect backup for Marcel Reed, and even the starter for when Reed is injured or uses up his eligibility.
Recruiting Surprises, Flips & Misses

The biggest surprise for the Aggies comes from offensive lineman Hunter McKinney out of Montgomery, TX, who flipped his commitment from the Houston Christian Huskies.
Many also expected four-star edge rusher K.J. Ford to sign with the Aggies, but he instead stayed with his original commitment, the Florida Gators.
Historical Context & Class Ranking

The Aggies saw slight improvement from last year's tenth place ranking, up one spot to ninth overall in the team rankings, according to 247Sports. Texas A&M sits fifth amongst SEC schools, behind Alabama (4th), Tennessee (5th), Georgia (6th), and Texas (8th).
