Texas A&M's 2027 recruiting class isn't falling apart, yet on Sunday, the program's top-ranked commit, five-star offensive tackle Mark Matthews, announced his decommitment and is now expected to stay home and commit to Miami this coming week. Was this expected? Kind of, given that Miami has never stopped recruiting Matthews since spring.
Among the remaining 2027 offensive line commits, five-star Kennedy Brown and four-star tackles Kaden Scott and DeMarrion Johnson are still expected to sign with the program next month, but according to sources, including AggieYell insider Jaxson Callaway, the expectation is that several of the remaining 24 commits will decommit or flip their commitment in the coming days/weeks.
This weekend, five-star linebacker
Kaden Henderson took an unofficial visit to Notre Dame, watching the Fighting Irish defeat No. 1 Miami in the most entertaining game of the weekend, while DeMarrion Johnson recently visited SMU and four-star wide receiver Damani Warren visited Oregon State.
Another name to watch is four-star Edge Frederick Ards, who took an unofficial visit to Florida and is currently one of South Carolina's primary flip targets. After Saturday's comeback win over the Aggies, the Gamecocks clearly have all the momentum.
From my vantage point, third-year coach Mike Elko is expected to keep 20-plus commits in the fold before Early Signing Day, while all the names I listed above could go either way in the coming weeks.
