NOVEMBER 17, 2:30 PM UPDATE:
The Texas A&M football recruiting momentum is not limited to the class of 2022.
One of the most intriguing class of 2023 wide receiver recruits, William Fowles, just trimmed his list to a top five and the Aggies made the cut for the Hialeah (Fla.) Dade Christian High School standout.
In addition to A&M, Florida, Florida State, Ole Miss and West Virginia were also named in the top group amid double-digit scholarship offers.
Fowles is listed at 6'3", 190 pounds and reported his A&M offer before all others within the top five, coming way back in the spring of 2020. There is no record of Fowles taking in College Station, something that will need to change to remain in the hunt moving forward .
Texas A&M already has a trio of commitments in the junior class, including two in the state of Texas. The early headliner is of course Zachary (La.) High School quarterback Eli Holstein, who committed to Jimbo Fisher and his coaching staff in June.
NOVEMBER 16, 2:50 PM UPDATE:
More big news coming soon for Texas A&M?
Fresh off of his last of many visits, this time at Texas, SI99 offensive line recruit Kam Dewberry hinted at a possible impending commitment via social media on Tuesday.
When a follower asked the in-state star about a commitment timeline, the reply would turn heads.
"Maybe tomorrow," Dewberry replied on Instagram.
While recruits often have fun on social media, the senior had previously announced his intent to come to a decision following the completion of all of his visits. The official visit over the weekend to Texas was the final trip of the allotted five.
LSU, A&M, Ohio State, Oklahoma and UT have hosted him for official visits since the summer months.
The Early Signing Period opens on December 15.
NOVEMBER 6, 9:15 AM UPDATE:
One of Fisher's top wide receiver targets is likely to come off the board this weekend. Chris Marshall had hinted at making a commitment this week, surrounding his birthday on Sunday, but took to Twitter on Friday night to push it up to Saturday.
The SI99 wide receiver talent, out of Missouri City (Texas) Fort Bend Marshall, has been considered an A&M lean versus contenders Alabama and USC within his top three. He has been to College Station several times this year and Sports Illustrated sources have him back in town for the Auburn game, seemingly overlapping with his potential decision.
Despite Alabama wanting to get him back on campus, it looks like this one is Fisher's to lose as A&M's big close to the 2022 cycle will tangibly begin if and when Marshall is ready to go public with his pick.
Marshall would be one of the headliners in the class for Fisher and company, which ranked No. 9 in the latest class recruiting ranking update at SI.
NOVEMBER 3, 11:15 AM UPDATE:
Walter Nolen to College Station, again.
As the Aggies surge up the list for the nation's top uncommitted recruit, another visit to campus has been set. The Powell (Tenn.) High School star will be back this weekend with Auburn in town.
Per 247Sports, most of the Nolen family will join the coveted prospect for his latest unofficial visit. Saturday marks the fourth time the senior has made it to town, including three on game weekends.
Nolen has no official timeline for a verbal commitment, hinting that it could come at basically any time. Of late, A&M and Tennessee have appeared to become the most likely destinations for the trench talent, though Georgia was also in his latest group of top options. Florida, Alabama and Michigan have also remained under some consideration throughout his recruiting process.
Longtime A&M pledge and peer recruiter Bobby Taylor II has been courting Nolen, among others for some time, and has been public about feeling good about the program's chances for a top class.
NOVEMBER 1, 11:50 AM UPDATE:
The pursuit of big Bear Alexander appears to be over for Texas A&M.
The Aggies were in the final two with the Lone Star State native, along with Georgia, before the IMG Academy star committed to the Bulldogs on October 21.
As is always the case in college football recruiting, nothing is official until a signature comes on the dotted line. Alexander spoke to Sports Illustrated over the weekend and confirmed he would be inking his name on a National Letter of Intent in December.
And it will be on a red and black letterhead despite decommitting from Kirby Smart's program before making what he says is a final choice.
"Definitely," Alexander told John Garcia, Jr. "They didn't change, they kept on recruiting me hard and it was still family.
"They're playing really well right now. They always have one of the top defenses, they always compete for SEC championships, Coach Smart and Coach (Tray) Scott is an amazing guy and it's a great program."
The senior admitted the pressure of the process was part of the reason for making a public decision in late November. Now he is relieved to be done.
"It's close to signing day, so just to have the pressure off of me was a deciding factor," Alexander said.
Remaining Aggie defensive line targets include SI99 prospects Walter Nolen, Shemar Stewart, Omari Abor, Anthony Lucas and others.
