Texas A&M’s 2027 recruiting class is already moving at a ridiculous clip, and it hasn’t even reached August yet. The Aggies have sat at No. 1 nationally since before official visits opened in June, and the more striking number is what they might still add to the board.
Right now, Texas A&M is positioned to land the most five-star prospects in a single class since Alabama signed six in 2023. If the Aggies closed today with their current haul, they would sit on six five-stars. That would already put them in rare company, and it still might not be the ceiling.
There is still one five-star target left on the board who could join the class. Dobson, a Cornelius, North Carolina, native, is the lone uncommitted five-star target Texas A&M is still chasing.
No decision date has been set. At the moment, the Aggies are considered the favorite.
ON3’s recruiting prediction machine gives Texas A&M an 86.3 percent chance to land Dobson, with no other contender above a single-digit percentage. South Carolina is next at 3.1 percent.
The Aggies already took a hit when they missed on Texas native and the nation’s No. 2 prospect, John Meredith III, who committed to Texas in June. That makes Dobson the priority now.
If he chooses Texas A&M, the Aggies would tie Alabama’s 2023 class with seven five-star signees. Texas A&M would also have a strong case to argue that its version is even more impressive, because it would be doing it in a different landscape.
Both classes came in the NIL era, but Texas A&M would be stacking stars in the revenue-sharing era, when athletic department budgets have tightened and elite talent has spread out more widely. Since Texas A&M’s 2022 class and Alabama’s 2023 class, no program has signed more than five five-stars in one class.
A&M could blow past that mark with seven.

Texas A&M Fans Arent Ready For This Recruiting Gut Punch
Texas A&Ms 2027 recruiting board has already taken a few early hits, with top prospects Albert Simien and John Meredith heading elsewhere, and the latest development only adds to the unease around a class that had been tracking as one to watch. The focus now shifts to five-star cornerback Joshua Dobson, a player the Aggies once had firmly in the conversation as one of their premier targets.
Dobson is set to make his decision at 5 PM CT, and the momentum around his recruitment has clearly moved in a different direction as insiders adjust their picks late in the process. For Texas A&M, the concern is not just losing another blue-chip name, but watching a player it spent real energy on drift toward a rival that appears increasingly determined to close the deal.

Wade Taylor IV Just Took A Huge Step Toward The NBA
Wade Taylor IVs professional path keeps getting a little more interesting, and Texas A&M fans have a familiar name to track as summer league season opens. The Aggies all-time leading scorer has already spent time in the pro ranks with the G Leagues Mexico City Capitanes, giving him another chance to show he belongs after going undrafted and then taking the long route into pro basketball.
Taylor is set to get another look in NBA circles when summer league games begin in early July, a stage that can still matter a lot for guards trying to prove they can handle the pace, the pressure and the shot-making that carries over. He had previously received a summer league invitation from the Milwaukee Bucks before starting his pro career, and this latest opportunity gives him another shot to turn a strong college legacy into something more lasting.
