Texas A&M has been getting it done on the recruiting trail in a big way. Now, the Aggies have clearly gotten the attention of an elite five-star two-way player.
The Texas A&M Aggies have gotten the job done in a big way so far with their 2027 recruiting class.
Texas A&M has piled up 26 commitments already and has the No. 1 class in the country as a result. The Aggies have five top-50 players in the class and Mike Elko's squad is set up well for the future of the program.
Work is already underway for the 2028 class, where the Aggies have just one commitment: three-star EDGE Chance Archangel. Texas A&M clearly has the attention of one of the top juniors in the country, and it'd be perhaps Elko's best get yet if A&M can land him.
Top Florida recruit has a lot to think about from Texas A&M
2028 five-star ATH A'mir Sears is being called the best prospect out of South Florida since Jeremiah Smith. The Aggies are one of the schools in the mix for the No. 1 recruit in the country who has true two-way ability, and would be a terrific college player at either cornerback or wide receiver.
What's standing out for Texas A&M to Sears?
"Consistency," Sears said via Rivals. "The vibe from Coach BGA (Bryant Gross Armiento), Coach (Pop) Cooney, and the rest of the staff is amazing."
As a sophomore, Sears caught 49 passes for 942 yards and 11 touchdowns on offense while totaling 61 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 11 pass breakups on defense. A true Travis Hunter-like player at the high school level who most folks think will end up being a shutdown cornerback in college. The 6-foot-1 athlete has nearly 50 offers with every top program trying to get into the mix.
"Two-way star at the high school level who is the top cornerback prospect early on in the 2028 cycle," Rivals Director of Scouting Charles Power said. "Has good stature at 6-foot-1 and will need to continue adding weight to his lean frame. One of the best high school football players to come from South Florida in the last few cycles. Very polished in coverage, showing natural ability to stay in-phase with receivers on downfield routes. Has high-level ball skills, as seen in his ability as a wide receiver."
2027 Five-star CB Raylaun Henry was the only true cornerback the Aggies recruited in 2027, so landing a big-time player again at the position in 2028 would be key for depth.
Money is going to be a factor on the NIL front and we know the Aggies will be aggressive there. Sears is the best recruit in the country for 2028 and as of right now the Aggies have positioned themselves nickel for a player that plans to cut his list to 10 schools before his junior season.
