2026 4-star DL has canceled his visit to Texas A&M this summer
2026 4-star DL has canceled his visit to Texas A&M this summer Last week, it was reported that one of the top defensive tackle prospects in the 2026 cycle, four-star JaReylan McCoy, would take an official visit to Texas A&M this summer. Still, as of Sunday night, it was revealed that the talented pass rusher will instead take an official visit to Austin, Texas, this summer. According to OrangeBloods (Rivals) writer Jason Suchomel, who recently spoke with McCoy, the former LSU commit visited Florida this weekend and will visit Texas unofficially and officially sometime soon. The Aggies are likely out of the running for his commitment unless something changes in the near future. McCoy isn't a desperate need for Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class after landing commitments from four-star defensive linemen Trashawn Ruffin and Jermaine Kinsler, while the Longhorns are looking to build their future defensive line to prepare for the impending departures after the 2025 season. After recording 11 sacks and 23 tackles for loss during his 2023 sophomore season, McCoy finished with 7.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks in 2024. According to 247Sports Composite, JaReylan McCoy is currently positioned as the 119th-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, the 13th-ranked defensive lineman, and the 7th-ranked prospect in Mississippi.
