Texas A&M already has one 2028 quarterback in the fold with Donald Tabron, and the Aggies aren’t slowing down on the rest of that class.
Mike Elko and his staff are still grinding on the recruiting trail while the program turns its attention to the upcoming season, and they’ve got plenty of work left if they want to keep stacking elite talent. Texas A&M currently sits with the No. 1 class in the country for the 2027 cycle, and the staff is trying to carry that momentum into 2028, where it already has two commitments.
The 2028 board is loaded, and a few big names are squarely in Texas A&M’s mix.
One of the biggest is Hall, the No. 2 recruit in the country and the top interior defensive lineman in the class. Texas A&M has made a real impression there thanks in part to its track record developing defensive linemen, and Hall is clearly paying attention.
Oklahoma is the team setting the pace right now, but the Aggies remain very much in the hunt. Hall told Texas A&M Aggies On SI during the spring that his time in College Station and his conversations with the coaching staff left a strong mark on him.
Texas A&M is expected to push hard this fall, though pulling him away from Oklahoma will not be easy.
Dotson is another name worth watching. The in-state prospect from Humble, Texas, climbed quickly in the rankings this spring and now checks in inside the top 120 as the No. 15 edge defender in the nation.
He fits what Texas A&M tends to want off the edge at 6-foot-6 and 240 pounds, with length and power to match. The Aggies are in the mix, though they already have one edge defender committed in Chance Archangel, so there’s a chance they get a little more selective at that position.
Then there’s Mitchell, a receiver who can separate with pure speed and keep running away from defenders after that. The No. 6 receiver in the country and a top-60 prospect overall, Mitchell brings track-star speed along with a polished route tree, which makes him one of the most dangerous wideouts in the class.
Texas A&M has stayed close with him throughout the process, and sources believe the Aggies are the team to beat. At this point, it sounds more like when Mitchell lands with Texas A&M than if.

Marcel Reed's Reported Price Tag Says Everything About Texas A&M's Stakes
Marcel Reeds standing in Texas A&Ms plans already made him one of the programs most important returnees, but the reported financial commitment around him adds another layer to the Aggies offseason expectations. CBS Sports reported that Reed is set to make around $3 million this season, a figure that underscores just how seriously the program views its quarterback situation as college football settles into a new era of player compensation.
The exact numbers in these reports can be hard to pin down, and there is always some skepticism attached to roster accounting, but the broader point is clear enough for Texas A&M. The Aggies are operating near the lower end of the highest-spending Power 5 tier, and Reeds price tag speaks to the stakes of getting the quarterback position right as revenue-sharing rules reshape how programs build and retain talent.

Texas A&M Just Landed A QB Commitment That Changes The Conversation
Texas A&M added a major piece to its future quarterback picture with the commitment of five-star prospect Donald Tabron II, a junior at Cass Technical in Detroit. The 2028 class pledge gives the Aggies an early win on the trail, and it comes with the kind of national recruiting cachet that tends to shift attention quickly when a program is trying to build momentum at a premium position.
Tabrons decision also says something about the pitch coming out of College Station, where Mike Elkos staff is trying to sell more than depth chart opportunity. In an interview with 247Sports, Tabron pointed to the culture being built around the program and his fit with Joey Lynch as factors in his choice, a notable sign for Texas A&M as it tries to keep stacking elite talent and shape the future of its offense.

Texas A&M Backfield Battle Could Change The Aggies' 2026 Offense
Texas A&Ms backfield is entering a familiar kind of reshuffle as the Aggies look ahead to 2026, with LeVeon Moss and Amari Daniels now gone and Rueben Owens positioned to step into the lead role. Owens has the most obvious path to the top of the depth chart, even if his 2024 season was mostly lost to injury, and the staff still has reason to think the position could be handled the way it has been in previous years, with more than one runner sharing the load.
The interesting part is how quickly the picture can change once camp opens, especially with a young runner like Jamarion Morrow pushing for more work after flashing in limited 2025 action. Texas A&M does not need to settle the issue in the spring, but the next few weeks will go a long way toward determining whether the offense leans on one featured option or settles back into a tandem approach that keeps multiple backs involved.
