The Beaumont Westbrook solution picked the Aggies around Texas in August and under no circumstances wavered in his choice. He was a single of the 16 Aggies in the Less than Armour All-American Match, and initiatives to be a nickel at A&M.

Dindy, a one particular-time Oklahoma commit, instantly flipped to A&M when Lincoln Riley still left for USC. He was the initial player to officially signal and was a further Below Armour All-American. Now up to 280 pounds, Dindy could change DeMarvin Leal as the large defensive finish who moves inside to tackle in pass hurry situations.

The longest-tenured Georgia commit in the 2022 course, he flipped to the Aggies and signed on the initial day of the early signing time period. 1 of four corners signed in the 2022 course, Killebrew has excellent speed — but also suffered a knee injuries late in his senior season.

1 of the most full cornerbacks in the 2022 course, Harris delivers sizing, velocity and outstanding coverage abilities to A&M.

But a brief trip to College Station led to yet another and the Aggies overtook LSU, Texas and Alabama to land him. He could compete for participating in time, even with a stacked corner corps, this period.

A single of two linebackers to signal in the early period of time (Harold Perkins dedicated afterwards and will indication in February), Harris observe speed to the place. He will have to modify to the situation and likely add a small excess weight, but he’s a big increase to a relatively slim linebacker group.

The nation’s top rated restricted conclusion and an Army All-American, Johnson was a different participant who appeared out of nowhere to indication with the Aggies. He caught 45 passes for 748 yards and 8 TD his senior period and now has the possibility to contend for a possibility in the two deep with Baylor Cupp, Max Wright, Blake Smith, Eli Stowers (who could pass up the spring immediately after shoulder surgical procedures) and Fernando Garza.

Johnson threw his past move versus the Aggies his next will be for them. The previous LSU starting off quarterback resolved to transfer on soon after Brian Kelly was employed and immediately fully commited to the Aggies. In spite of a porous offensive line (33 sacks), accidents to important receivers and a non-existent running game, Johnson nevertheless accomplished 60{22377624ce51d186a25e6affb44d268990bf1c3186702884c333505e71f176b1} of his passes for 2,815 yards, with 27 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions. He will compete with Haynes King and Conner Weigman for the setting up work in College Station.

The fast athlete fully commited to the Aggies more than Baylor in June and dealt with various injuries in his senior season. Healthy now, he projects to be a basic safety at the faculty level — a placement in which the Aggies want to increase depth.

Another Dec. 15 addition to the signing course, Lucas experienced been a suspected A&M lean for some time right before formally picking out the Aggies more than Alabama and Notre Dame. The Underneath Armour All-American is a further defensive lineman with deal with measurement but conclusion velocity, giving DJ Durkin extra versatility up front.

One of the nation’s best receivers, Stewart provides velocity and fantastic route working to the wide receiver group. A major participate in danger, he could assistance the Aggies extend the area. With accidents to many veteran wideouts, he could get a good deal of function this spring.

One of the architects of the class, the Less than Armour All-American is really nasty on the field as well. He’s got size and fantastic address capabilities, which makes him one to enjoy this spring versus veteran competitiveness.

The guy who could be A&M’s quarterback of the future, Weigman provides an excellent arm, good touch and the potential to make performs with his ft to Aggieland. An Below Armour All-American, Weigman was also named the Offensive Player of the Year by the Landing Club of Houston and the Countrywide Significant College Quarterback of the Calendar year by the Countrywide Quarterback Club.
