Texas A&M isn’t wasting any time building the foundation for its 2027 recruiting class, and the Aggies just added another key piece up front. Four-star offensive tackle Kaeden Scott has committed to Texas A&M, giving the program its tenth pledge in the cycle and continuing a strong early push on the recruiting trail.
Scott, a 6-foot-7, 280-pound lineman with a blend of size, power, and polish, announced his decision via social media, choosing the Aggies over a group of heavy hitters that included Arkansas, Ohio State, and in-state rival Texas. For offensive line coach Adam Cushing, it’s another high-upside prospect who fits the mold of what he’s been targeting since taking over A&M’s trenches.
Scott’s relationship with the program took off quickly. After an early visit to College Station, the connection was immediate - and it stuck.
Despite interest from national powers and efforts to lure him to other campuses, Scott stayed locked in on the Aggies. In his own words, “Knew since the first time in College Station, this was home.”
That kind of conviction this early in the process speaks volumes about both the program’s recruiting approach and Scott’s comfort with the staff and vision.
On the field, Scott brings a lot to like. He’s already a force in the run game, using his wide base and natural strength to move defenders off the ball.
But it’s not just about raw power - his footwork is advanced for his age, and he shows the kind of balance and body control that suggests he could develop into a reliable pass protector on the edge. At this stage, he’s not a finished product, but the tools are all there.
And under Cushing’s watch, there’s reason to believe he’ll keep trending upward.
Rivals ranks Scott as the No. 175 overall prospect in the country and the No. 24 player in Texas for the 2027 class - high marks that reflect both his current production and long-term ceiling. For A&M, it’s a statement pickup early in the cycle and another sign that the staff is prioritizing building from the inside out.
With ten commitments already on the board, the Aggies are laying the groundwork for what could be a standout class. And if Kaeden Scott is any indication of the caliber of talent they’re bringing in, the future in College Station’s trenches is looking strong.
