Texas A&M heads back to Kyle Field for the first time in several weeks, set to host No. 8 Tennessee in Week 11, a game that was nearly interrupted by Friday's sudden grounding of nearly 1,500 flights, including those carrying the Volunteers. However, flights resumed, and Tennessee arrived in College Station late Friday night.
This issue isn't expected to affect the long list of 2027 and 2028 recruits slated to visit and attend Saturday's game, including 2028 5-star quarterback commit Donald Tabron, who, on paper, looks like the Aggies' starting quarterback in 2028 or 2029. Despite A&M's poor season, Tabron remains a "hard" commit with no plans to flip right now.
While major coaching staff changes could affect recruiting, first-year OC Holmon Wiggins,
who helped land Donald Tabron, will retain his position for the rest of the regular season and possibly after Early Signing Day to secure the No. 2-ranked 2027 cycle.
This season, it's clear Holmon Wiggins and senior quarterback Marcel Reed haven't been on the same page, and the second-year starter has regressed after throwing for a career-high 3,169 yards and 25 touchdowns, surprising most Aggie fans.
While it's assumed that Mike Elko will have to pay a significant amount of money to land a veteran quarterback with NFL potential from the transfer portal, securing Donald Tabron's commitment this time next year is beyond critical, starting with a successful visit this weekend.
Can’t wait to be back in College Station this weekend for @AggieFootball and their blackout game!! #DonDotta🎯 #CTFB #Gigem @Detroit_CTFB @CoachRush_CTFB @coachjoeylynch @Qoach_Deuce @CoachTroop_ @ArcStrokeQB @DerekMillerTAMU pic.twitter.com/6F6Oik4Llj
