Five-Star Texas A&M Prospects End Recruitment, Locking Key 2026 Commits

Texas A&M has secured significant commitments for their 2026 football recruiting class, notably from five-star cornerback Brandon Arrington and five-star edge rusher Tristian Givens. Arrington, a top-ranked athlete from California with elite speed and versatility, has officially shut down his recruitment, confirming his commitment to Texas A&M despite interest from programs like Oregon and Penn State. His decision is seen as a major win for head coach Mike Elko, who has successfully maintained momentum in recruiting battles against other power programs. Meanwhile, Tennessee had hoped to flip Givens, ranked as the No. 3 edge rusher nationally, but he has also closed his recruitment, reaffirming his commitment to Texas A&M. These recruitments highlight Texas A&M's growing strength, especially on defense, with Arrington joining other top defensive backs in the class. The Aggies appear poised to field a formidable defensive unit under Elko's leadership in the coming years.
