The Texas A&M Aggies are beginning to ramp up the recruiting under new head coach Mike Elko, and one of the biggest targets in that effort is five-star Lewisville (TX) offensive tackle Michael Fasusi.

And as of Monday, it appears that the Aggies are in extremely good shape for the 6-foot-4 pass blocker, making the list for his top-7 finalists alongside a host of other elite programs.

The Aggies made the list alongside the Texas Longhorns, Oregon Ducks, USC Trojans, Oklahoma Sooners, Georgia Bulldogs and Missouri Tigers.

Fasusi's announcement comes off of a recent weekend visit to College Station, which was his second since January. Off the heels of that January visit, Fasusi revealed what it is about the Aggies and Mike Elko that piqued his interest.

"(Mike Elko) is really going to turn the program around and I’m down for that," Fasusi said. "I believe what he said about the program. (The defensive line coach) wants to push me as hard as I can push myself. I’ve never heard that before. We had a long meeting and he proved himself. They really want me.”

Fasusi also has another trip to Aggieland planned for June.

As it stands, Fasusi ranks as the No. 19 player in the nation, No. five offensive tackle and No. six player in the state of Texas, per the On3 Industry Ranking. His highest marks come from ESPN and Rivals.com, who both have him ranked as the No. 3 offensive tackle in the nation.

Per On3's Recruiting Prediciton Machine, Texas is seen as the favorite at 88.5 percent.
