2027 4-star Edge places Texas A&M in his Top 12 program list
Texas A&M's 2027 recruiting class lost its only commitment after four-star tight end George Lamons decommitted last week, which isn't surprising given the early state of his announcement, coupled with his ascending status as a likely five-star prospect by this time next year. This is just part of the process, and head coach Mike Elko and his staff are ready for any sudden changes. On Saturday, it was revealed that 2027 four-star edge Krew Jones, from Millville, Utah, has placed Texas A&M in his top 12 program list, joining Ohio State, Oregon, Florida State, Nebraska, USC, Washington, UCLA, Tennessee, Stanford, BYU, and Oklahoma. This is early in the process, but after landing 2025 five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles and his high school quarterback, 2026 four-star Helaman Casuga from Utah, the Aggies are beginning to develop a recruiting pipeline in the state. Standing at 6'5" and nearly 220 pounds, Jones is one of the top prep pass rushers in the country, recording 148 tackles, 30.5 tackles for loss, and 22.5 sacks during his first two varsity seasons, including 93 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, and six pass breakups during his 2024 sophomore campaign. Again, this is just the start of Jones' recruiting process, as next summer will include a host of official visits, which could include Texas A&M if the staff develops a strong relationship this fall, similar to when the Aggies landed 2026 four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory and four-star edge Jordan Carter, who both committed early last October. According to 247Sports, Jones is currently positioned as the 159th-ranked prospect in the 2027 class, the 20th-ranked edge, and the No. 1-ranked prospect in Utah.

LSU football an option for four-star tight end after Texas A&M decommitment
Could LSU football be in the mix for a decommitted 2027 tight end? Four-star George Lamons went back on his choice to play at Texas A&M, per Rivals' Hayes Fawcett. The Tigers are one of a few suitors in the mix for Lamon's services. They're up against the likes of South Carolina, Georgia Tech and Alabama. Rivals' Industry Rankings ranks Lamons No. 5 at his position and No. 81 overall in the 2027 cycle. He is the No. 12 prospect out of Georgia. The Quitman, GA native will enter his junior year at Brooks County High School this fall. If LSU can't secure a tight end commit in the 2026 cycle, it will need to swing big at the position for 2027. Lamons possesses raw talent that stands out for being so early in his recruiting process. At six-foot-three and 200 pounds, he already commands attention from most SEC teams.
