Texas A&M’s<\/a> 2027 recruiting class still holds the No. 1-ranking with 12 commits, including a nation-high four five-star prospects, and for third-year O-line coach Adam Cushing, landing early commitments from four-star tackles DaMarrion Johnson and Kaeden Scott led to a massive commitment from five-star IOL Kennedy Brown late last month.<\/p>\n However, after receiving a prediction from On3’s Steve Wiltfong last month to land five-star tackle Mark Matthews<\/a>, the Florida native will reportedly announce his commitment earlier than expected, announcing that he will choose between LSU, Miami, Georgia, and Texas A&M on Friday, May 15.<\/p>\n This is surprising given that Matthews<\/a> stated earlier this month that he planned to take all of his official visits before announcing his commitment. As we know, recruiting decisions change on a dime, and Matthews is close to making what could be his final decision before Early Signing Day. As things stand, Wiltfong stated late last month that the Aggies are in a prime position to land the blue-chip tackle.<\/p>\n “Matthews loves the trajectory of the program, has great relationships with several staffers, players on the team and Texas A&M commits and top targets in the 2027 cycle. He feels very comfortable with the SEC program and that\u2019s why the Aggies are in pole position.”<\/p>\n Fellow On3\/AggieYell<\/a> recruiting experts Jaxson Callaway and Joseph Hastings all placed their predictions for Texas A&M to land Matthews, and while the Miami Hurricanes will continue to be a threat going into the summer, this announcement is that much more important.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
