Texas A&M lands 2026 4-star OT out of Clearwater (FL)
Texas A&M lands 2026 4-star OT out of Clearwater (FL)
Texas A&M's success recruiting elite offensive linemen has been mightly impressive under head coach Mike Elko and O-line coach Adam Cushing, who recently signed six offensive linemen in the 2025 recruiting cycle aren't slowing down, as 2026 four-star offensive tackle Samuel Roseborough committed to the Aggies on Monday night.
Florida had been a recruiting pipeline for former Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher and has been re-established under Elko after beating out Florida State and the Texas Longhorns for the standout blocker, who has played both ways during his last two seasons as a defensive lineman.
Playing primarily as right tackle during his 2024 junior season, Roseborough has continued to improve as a pass protector and has been a difference-maker in the run game. Again, beasting out Florida State for a player from Clearwater (FL) while out-recruiting Texas, who has also dominated in O-line recruiting under coach Steve Sarkisian, is highly notable.
Standing at 6-4 and 185 pounds, Roseborough will likely shift inside at either right or left guard at the next level, and due to his elite run-blocking skillset, this should be a seamless transition. Roseborough is the first offensive line commit in Texas A&M's 2026 class, and likely won't be the last.
According to 247Sports Composite, Roseborough is currently positioned as the 142nd-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the 8th-ranked interior offensive lineman, and the 17th-ranked prospect in Florida.

Michigan targets 4-star OL Malakai Lee for 2026, commitment set for June 27 after visit
Michigan targets 4-star OL Malakai Lee for 2026, commitment set for June 27 after visit The identity of Michigan football might be somewhat changing with Bryce Underwood coming aboard to sling the football, while Chip Lindsey -- the new offensive coordinator -- will oversee the deployment of more of a downfield passing game. But the ethos for the Wolverines will still likely follow that of the head coach -- SMASH! That means a dominant run game, and the maize and blue are still working to enhance every aspect of its ground-and-pound attack. This year, it meant bringing in former Alabama tailback Justice Haynes. And for next year, Michigan is going all-out trying to secure five-star running back Savion Hiter. And that makes the offensive line that much more important. A top target sets a commitment date One prospect that Michigan football has consistently targeted along the offensive line is 2026 Honolulu (Hawaii) Kamehameha four-star offensive tackle Malakai Lee. Lee has been a constant presence in Ann Arbor -- which is saying something given the distance from his native Hawaii. Lee is set to make it back to campus this week for Victors Weekend, his final official visit -- and as it turns out, the final visit before he makes his final decision. According to 247Sports' Brandon Huffman, Lee will make his commitment just one week later, on June 27, live on CBS Sports HQ. Michigan has one 247Sports Crystal Ball prediction, from The Michigan Insider's Steve Lorenz, indicating he'll choose the Wolverines. However, the prediction was made back in Oct. 2024, and Georgia, Alabama, and Texas -- his other three finalists -- have all made strong pushes for him since Lee appeared to be leaning maize and blue. The scouting report from 247Sports' Greg Biggins: From a traits standpoint, offensive linemen don't come much better looking than Lee. He's all of 6-6, 325 pounds with verified 36' arms and an 85'+ wingspan. He's a fluid mover as well and has the feet, balance and frame to project as a tackle and could line up on either side, right or left in college. He plays a little hoops as well and checks off the multi-sport box for us. He uses his length well and has the ability to slide and mirror opposing edge rushers. He has added some physicality in the run game over the last year. He's putting guys on their backs more but playing with a more aggressive edge to him is an area we think Lee can still improve on. Saying that, he's an easy high Power 4 prospect and if he hits his ceiling, he will be playing football for a very long time. The 247Sports Composite has Lee ranked as the No. 137 overall recruit in the country, regardless of position, and the 10th-best offensive tackle and second-best player in the state of Hawaii. What Michigan currently has The Wolverines had a big-time offensive line haul last cycle with two five-star tackles in Andrew Babalola and Ty Haywood, along with four-star guard Avery Gach and three-star center Kaden Strayhorn. As far as the 2026 class is concerned, Michigan has just one offensive line commitment in four-star guard Bear McWhorter. But the Wolverines are in the thick of it with not only Lee, but five-star Felix Ojo (who visited two weeks ago), four-star Kelvin Obot, four-star Zaden Krempin, and others.

Former Texas A&M Closer Evan Aschenbeck Named Midwest League Pitcher of the Week
Former Texas A&M Closer Evan Aschenbeck Named Midwest League Pitcher of the Week Former Texas A&M closer Evan Aschenbeck is in the best stretch of his minor league career since leaving Aggieland. After tossing seven scoreless innings on the road against the Fort Wayne TinCaps, he's been named the Midwest League Pitcher of the Week. Aschenbeck found his rhythm early, holding the TinCaps hitless until the bottom of the sixth inning. Backed by a 10-1 win, he earned his second victory with the South Bend Cubs, allowing just one hit and striking out five across seven innings. He will be back on the mound on Thursday night against the Lake County Captains. During his time at Texas A&M, fans grew used to seeing Aschenbeck come in to close out games. But since turning pro, he's proven himself as a quality starter at the High-A level. Time will tell whether he continues climbing the ranks to Double-A and beyond, but for now, he's making the most of every opportunity when his number is called.

5-star CB Brandon Arrington sets commitment date with Oregon football as a finalist
5-star CB Brandon Arrington sets commitment date with Oregon football as a finalist On Monday morning, 5-star cornerback Brandon Arrington took to his social media and teased some big news to come. On Monday night, he delivered, announcing that he was cutting his recruitment down to two schools — the Oregon Ducks and Texas A&M Aggies — and moving his commitment date up to this Thursday, June 19. Arrington was originally set to announce his commitment on July 5, but after taking an official visit to Oregon earlier this month, he is accelerating that timeline. However, Arrington is also scheduled to take an official visit to Texas A&M this coming weekend. It seems as if he will either take that visit as the newest member of the Aggies' 2026 class or cancel that visit after committing to Oregon. Arrington stands at 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, and is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 10 player in the 2026 class and the No. 1 ATH. From Spring Valley, California, Oregon has been recruiting him heavily for a long time now and is projected as one of the favorites to land him. There are currently no Crystal Ball projections for Arrington on 247Sports, but the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has the Texas A&M Aggies as the heavy favorite to land the 5-star player, with Steve Wiltfong logging a prediction all the way back in October of 2024. In just a few days, we will find out at long last where the blue-chip player is headed.
