Texas A&M’s talented 2024 recruiting class has taken a short break from its growth over the summer due to the start of the 2023 football season, as 15 players, including two five-star and 13 four-star prospects, verbally committed with a collective understanding that Head Coach Jimbo Fisher’s vision for the future is built around player development and competing for Championships; no matter what the naysayers yell into the college football oblivion year to year.

Even though the 2023 campaign is off to an underwhelming start after falling to Miami 48-33 last Saturday, Fisher believes that this is simply a learning curve for his talented and experienced roster while further cementing his belief that the coaching staff, specifically Aggies defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin a plan for fixing their issues within the remaining ten games.

In-season play tends to affect recruiting substantially, making the 2023 season rebound an absolute must if consistently building top-five recruiting classes is in the Aggies’ future. However, focusing on Texas A&M’s impressive 2024 haul, On3 released their Top 10 ” 2024 Blue Chip Recruiting Rankings,” focused on combining each program’s total number of four and five-star prospects, creating an accurate percentage to signify how much pure talent each ranked program has acquired.

After landing four-star OT Blake Ivy in late August, Texas A&M’s 2024 offensive line group has already matched the 2021 class made up of three current O-line starters, including center Bryce Foster, left tackle Trey Zuhn, and right tackle Reuben Fatheree, while five-star defensive lineman Dominick McKinley’s recent commitment further Texas A&M D-line coach Elijah’s Robinson’s incredible recruiting streak in the trenches.

Within the rankings, Texas A&M unsurprisingly joins six other notable SEC programs. Here are On3’s Top 10 2024 Blue Chip Rankings.
