Texas A&M’s offensive line class already looks loaded, but one of the Aggies’ top remaining targets came off the board Saturday.
Five-star offensive tackle Ismael Camara committed to Texas over LSU, Oregon, Texas A&M, Ohio State and others after shutting down his remaining official visits this summer. The decision likely closes the door on Texas A&M’s push for the blue-chip lineman, even though the Aggies were among the schools in the mix early.
Camara’s choice comes as Texas A&M has built out what appears to be its future front. The Aggies already hold commitments from five-star linemen Mark Matthews and Kennedy Brown, along with four-star tackles DeMarrion Johnson and Kaeden Kent. All four are on track to battle for starting jobs in College Station during their first or second seasons.
That group gives offensive line coach Adam Cushing plenty to work with, and the focus now shifts to keeping the class intact heading into the 2026 season. After reportedly spending $1 million to land Matthews over Miami, coach Mike Elko and Cushing are centered on protecting the commitments they already have.
Camara, a 6-foot-7, 340-pound native of Gilmer, Texas, was one of the last uncommitted five-stars entering the week. Texas had a clear need at tackle, and that urgency helped shape the outcome. The Longhorns also appear to be the better fit for where Camara wants to line up, since he wants to play either left or right tackle.

Mike Elko Heads Into Fall Camp With 5 Huge Aggies Questions
Fall camp is arriving with a few of Texas A&Ms biggest decisions still hanging over Mike Elkos roster, and the clearest one might be at cornerback. Dezz Ricks looks settled in as a starter, but the spot opposite him is still up for grabs, with Julio Humphrey, Rickey Gibson and Brandon Arrington all in the mix as the Aggies try to sort out who best fits into the secondary before the 2026 season.
The uncertainty does not stop there, either. Tight end has opened up after departures, leaving Richie Anderson, Houston Thomas and Kiotti Armstrong to sort through the next wave of snaps, while offensive tackle is another spot where the competition is wide open with several transfers and returners pushing for starting jobs. For Elko, the challenge in camp is less about finding bodies than figuring out which of these crowded position groups can turn potential into a dependable answer. [Read more 🡒]
Texas A&M Freshman Receiver Suddenly Has A Real Path To Early Snaps
Texas A&M has already shown it will let true freshmen earn real work when theyre ready, and that history matters again as the Aggies head into a season with a highly regarded 2026 recruiting class. Freshman wide receiver Aaron Gregory has been one of the names drawing the most attention after a strong spring, and with Holmon Wiggins taking over as offensive coordinator, there is a real opening for young receivers to push into the mix while the offense still leans on its run-first identity.
Gregorys path is especially interesting because the Aggies need more from the passing game without abandoning what they do best. If he keeps building on what he showed in the spring, he could put himself in position for meaningful snaps early, particularly in a receiver room where the staff is looking for reliable options who can help stretch the field and fit into multiple looks.
