Texas A&M has put itself in the mix for one of the biggest wide receiver prizes in the 2028 class, with five-star prospect Braylon Clark naming the Aggies among his 12 finalists.
Clark’s list also includes Ohio State, LSU, Tennessee, Miami, Indiana, Texas, Alabama, Oregon, Clemson, South Carolina and USC. He is being closely watched across the country, and Texas A&M remains one of the programs still pushing hard for him.
The Aggies’ recruiting spotlight has only grown as Mike Elko and his staff continue working through the 2026 season with six home games still ahead. Texas A&M already used its season-opening 50-0 win over Missouri State as a major recruiting stage, hosting 150 prospects from the 2027, 2028 and 2029 classes. Saturday’s early home game against Arizona State will bring another chance to impress top talent.
Clark, who is listed at 6-foot-3 and nearly 190 pounds, is currently heavily predicted by On3’s prediction machine to end up at Ohio State. That fits the Buckeyes’ reputation for developing future NFL wideouts, but Texas A&M has kept its name in the conversation, helped in part by first-year offensive coordinator and former wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins. Wiggins has already landed four wide receiver commits in the 2027 class, underscoring how well he continues to recruit the position.
Clark is scheduled to visit College Station for Texas A&M’s home game against Arkansas on October 3. Last season at Providence Day School, he caught 65 passes for 1,093 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Texas A&M May Have Found Its Pass Rush Difference Maker
Texas A&Ms defense left its season-opening win over Missouri State with plenty to like, even if the pass rush did not fully take over the game. San Diego State transfer Ryan Henderson supplied the Aggies only sack, and while the front did not consistently overwhelm the quarterback, the defense still did its job by controlling the game and showing the kind of overall strength Mike Elko wants to build around.
Hendersons production stood out because it came in limited snaps, which is exactly the sort of early impact that can change how a rotation is viewed moving forward. Elko praised the transfers performance and hinted at a growing role in the defensive plan, and with Texas A&M coming off a game in which the unit allowed just 67 total yards against Arizona State, the question now is whether Henderson can keep turning brief chances into a bigger presence off the edge.

Mike Evans Already Gave 49ers Fans A Reason To Believe
Mike Evans wasted little time making an impression in his 49ers debut, helping San Francisco roll to a 27-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne, Australia. After 12 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Evans turned in a steady first showing for his new team, catching six passes for 49 yards while tying for the team lead in receptions.
The headline moment came when Evans scored his first touchdown as a member of the 49ers, a small but meaningful early sign that he can fit into the offense right away. For a team looking to settle in quickly with a new weapon, the opener offered plenty of reasons to believe there may be more where that came from. [Read more 🡒]
