Texas A&M’s<\/a> 2027 receiving class continues to make significant headway with every prospect head coach Mike Elko and his staff have contacted, already receiving a prediction to land five-star edge Zyron Forstall, while five-star offensive lineman Kennedy Brown<\/a> will reportedly choose between the Aggies and Oregon, and take his 13th visit to College Station this spring.<\/p>\n Over the past month, Mike Elko has made several key staff changes, elevating five coaches to new positions, including ace recruiters and nickels coach Bryant Gross-Armiento, who will now serve as Texas A&M’s cornerbacks coach heading into the 2026 season.<\/p>\n Already receiving substantial praise from incoming five-star CB Brandon Arrington, Gross-Armiento will now be tasked with securing a commitment from one of the Aggies’ primary cornerback targets in the 2027 cycle. On Wednesday, it was revealed that four-star cornerback Taelyn Mayo out of Lewisville, Texas, placed the Aggies in his final five program list, joining LSU, Oregon, Ohio State, and the Texas Longhorns.<\/p>\n Among his five finalists, LSU, Ohio State, and Texas A&M reportedly stand out the most, as Mayo provided brief summaries for all three programs during his conversation with Rivals recruiting insider Hayes Fawcett<\/a>. Here’s why the Aggies are one of his current leaders:<\/p>\n \u201cTexas A&M is a school I\u2019m seriously considering because of the coaching staff, top-tier facilities, and the strong family atmosphere they\u2019ve built within the program and a program that pushes players to always dominate at the highest level.\u201d<\/p>\n Need a news break?
