OCTOBER 6 - 4-STAR TRENDING AGGIES?

The Texas A&M Aggies capped off a major blowout win over the No. 9 Missouri Tigers on Saturday.

But that might not be the only blow they end up dealing to the Tigers.

Following the win over the Tigers, On3 recruiting expert Steve Wiltfong entered a prediction for the Aggest to clip four-star Missouri offensive tackle commit Lamont Rogers. Rogers has been committed to the Tigers since June.

With Wiltfong's prediction, the Aggies are now seen as 80.7 percent favorites to land the Horn (Mesquite, TX) star.

Rogers is a consensus four-star recruit and ranked as the No. 50 player in the country, the No. 8 offensive tackle, and the 13 player in the state of Texas, per On3.

OCT 2 - CARLTON REVEALS TOP 10

The Texas A&M Aggies are in the running for one of the top players in the 2026 class.

Per On3's Hayes Fawcett, Temple (TX) four-star 2026 edge rusher Jamarion Carlton has released his list of top-10 schools, with the Aggies making the cut alongside a handful of SEC and in-state Rivals.

Ohio State, Ole Miss, LSU, Kansas State, USC, Nebraska, Baylor, Texas Tech and Texas also made Carlton's list, with the Longhorns seen as the current favorite to land the four-star per the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.

As it stands, the 6-foot-4, 217-pound edge is a consensus four-star recruit and ranks as the No. 20 player in the nation, No. 2 edge rusher, and No. 3 player in the state of Texas per 247 Sports.
