Texas A&M Lands Beck, King in Recruiting Surge

Texas A&M has secured commitments from two four-star linebackers, DaQuives Beck and Tank King, for its 2026 football class, both choosing the Aggies over Texas and other top programs. Beck, a two-time state champion from Carthage, is celebrated for his versatility and NFL potential, while King adds speed and physicality to the defensive corps. This dual commitment is part of a larger recruiting surge for Texas A&M, which has also landed several blue-chip recruits and remains in contention for elite prospects like five-star edge rusher Anthony 'Tank' Jones. Texas, meanwhile, landed top local offensive lineman John Turntine III and looks ahead to the 2025 season with high expectations as Arch Manning is set to start at quarterback. The ongoing recruiting competition highlights the fierce rivalry between Texas and Texas A&M, now both in the SEC. These developments indicate escalating talent and competition within the conference.
