Watch two 2026 Texas A&M commits shine at Rivals Five-Star Camp
Nearly half a dozen of Texas A&M's 2026 commits are taking part in the annual Rival Five-Star event this week, including four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory and four-star edge/linebacker Samu Moala, who have both shut down their recruitment and will sign with the Aggies during the Early Signing Period on December 4. Both prospects, especially Gregory, are considered borderline elite. At the same time, Moala primarily chose the Aggies over UCLA to stay as an edge rusher despite his ability to play linebacker at a high level. On Tuesday, during various drills, Gregory and Moala looked the part and should make a seamless transition at the next level once they make their way to College Station. Gregory, who is a favorite among all of us who cover Texas A&M recruiting, has continued to impress as a route runner and is beginning to shine against the best defensive back competition in the 2026 cycle. In this video, the cornerback is playing off coverage, but Gregory perfectly runs his route, beats his defender, and makes his way to the endzone while showing off his speed down the sideline. On the other side, Samu Moala looks excellent in coverage against tight ends and wide receivers, as he is expected to play the Jack position in Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko's defense, where he will need to cover tight ends in the seam and drop back in coverage at a high rate. This is a great sign and not surprising for two players who I believe have star potential as soon as they enter their sophomore season with the Aggies.

2026 4-star Edge and Texas A&M commit invited to Rivals Five-Star event
2026 4-star Edge and Texas A&M commit invited to Rivals Five-Star event .@Jordanbcarter22 ✈️ RIVALS FIVE-STAR 4⭐️ Texas A&M commit Jordan Carter is officially LOCKED IN to join 100 of the best prospects in the country to compete in Indianapolis on June 23-24 🔥 — Rivals Camp Series (@RivalsCamp) June 13, 2025 Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class will be well-represented on the big stage later this month, as four-star quarterback commit Helaman Casuga and four-star Edge rusher Jordan Carter have been invited to compete in the annual Rivals Five-Star event in Indianapolis, Indiana, on June 23-24. Casuga received his invitation on Thursday, while Carter announced that he will head to the Colts Stadium on Friday. This is an impressive feat for Coach Mike Elko and his staff, considering that both players are committed to the program, including Carter's announcement via TexAgs that he has likely shut down his recruitment after his official visit to Texas A&M last weekend. Rival Five-Star is a chance for the top 100 players in the 2026 cycle to compete at the highest level and showcase their elite skillsets to help solidify their standing as the best prospects at their respective positions. Casuga's 6,475 yards and 60 touchdowns during his first two high school seasons booked his ticket, while Carter's 62 tackles, 13 sacks, and 17 tackles for loss during his 2024 junior season are equally eye-popping. According to Rivals, Carter is currently positioned as the 146th-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, the 13th-ranked defensive end, and the 19th-ranked prospect in Georgia. Standing at 6'4" and over 230 pounds, Carter's length and elite first step have made him one of the more feared pass rushers in Georgia, and should continue to rise in the recruiting rankings after his 2025 senior season. Knowing Texas A&M's success in developing defensive linemen, it's no surprise that Carter is excited to join the Aggie ranks.
