Texas A&M 2026 3-star commit recently worked out with two Aggie greats
Like many of the program's commits, Johnson shut down his recruitment and is all-in with Texas A&M ahead of his senior season with Fort Bend Marshall. This summer, knowing that his future is in College Station, Johnson has reportedly been working out with two Aggie legends to refine his skill set and prepare for his position change.
In a recent photo on X, Johnson, alongside former Texas A&M standout left tackle and current longtime Atlanta Falcons blindside blocker Jake Matthews, and former Texas A&M tackle Germain Ifedi, who last played for the Cleveland Browns during the 2024 season.
Working out at the Apollo Performance & Sports Medicine center in Houston, Texas, the Aggie family is strong, and the connections are limitless, especially for the future players dedicated to sticking with the program and developing, which has become a rarity in the transfer portal age.
During his 2024 junior season, Johnson passed for 2,109 yards and 25 touchdowns, completing 60% of his passes, while also rushing for 571 yards and six touchdowns. Johnson has proven that he can play QB at the next level, but Texas A&M tight end coach Christian Ellsworth deserves credit for striking while the iron is hot, knowing that Johnson has been sky rocking locally before his OV.
According to Rivals, Johnson is currently ranked as the 34th-best athlete and the 109th-best prospect in Texas.

A program with an extensive amount of momentum on the recruiting trail at the moment, could yet another major commitment be coming for the Alabama Crimson Tide? Yes, on Thursday afternoon, Alabama was named among the finalists for another one of the nation's elite recruits, this time coming from in-state in highly-touted edge rusher Anthony "Tank" Jones. Per a report from Rivals' Hayes Fawcett, Jones has narrowed down his list of finalists to three, listing the Crimson Tide alongside both Oregon and Texas A&M.

2026 5-star Edge places Texas A&M in his final 3 program list
Where's home?🦆🐘👍🏿? Texas A&M's 2026 edge class could end up reaching historic levels by the end of the year, with two key commitments approaching, starting with four-star KJ Ford out of Duncanville (TX), and five-star Anthony "Tank" Jones, who both placed the Aggies in their final three program lists. While Ford is down to Ohio State, Florida, and A&M, Jones has revealed final contenders. Jones has not revealed his commitment date, but is now down to Oregon, Alabama, and Texas A&M, as the Mobile (AL) native took an official visit to all three programs this summer, including College Station on June 13. Jones left Texas A&M with nothing but positive takeaways, knowing that defensive line coaches Sean Spencer and Tony Jerod-Eddie already have a development plan in place for the elite pass rusher to reach his full potential. Texas A&M's history of producing NFL defensive linemen is vast and unique, led by Myles Garrett, Von Miller, and Nnamdi Madubuike, all of whom are considered top players at their position. Garrett and Miller are first-ballot Hall of Famers. This summer, Jones received several predictions to land at Texas A&M early last month, but things have tightened up after his official visits to Oregon and Alabama. Still, the Aggies should be considered the favorites going forward. Standing at 6'4", 240 pounds, Jones is a versatile defensive lineman who could see snaps inside at the next level; however, his strength is off the edge, where he wreaks havoc with a two or three-point stance, and is extremely powerful once he makes contact. During his 2024 junior season, Jones was dominant, producing 84 tackles, 16 sacks, and 18 tackles for loss. According to Rivals, Jones is currently positioned as the 23rd-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the 2nd-ranked edge and the 2nd-ranked prospect in Alabama.
