Texas A&M landed two of the top 2026, 2027 prospects in April
Texas A&M landed two of the top 2026, 2027 prospects in April
Texas A&M's recruiting success has continued into the 2026 and 2027 cycles, as the 2025 Maroon & White spring game, which also served as another chance to host several high priority prospects in both classes, breeded its usual success.
During the game, coach Mike Elko landed his first 2027 commit in four-star wide receiver George Lamons, who, on paper, will likely end up as a five-star recruit due to his size, speed and position versatility, similar to freshman tight end Kiotti Armstrong, who also played defensive end at a high level during his high school career.
In the 2026 class, Elko and his staff flipped four-star cornerback Victor Singelton from Illinois, as the Ohio-based prospect chose the Aggies several blue-blood programs, including Ohio State, becoming the second Ohio recruit, along with four-star linebacker Storm Miller to commit to the Aggies. Singelton is currently the highest ranked prospect in A&M's 2026 class.
This week, On3 recognized Texas A&M for flipping Singelton and four-star running back Jonathan Hatton from Oklahoma, and on Wednesday, the site revealed Lamons (4th) and Singelton (6th) in the top 10 ranked commitments in the month of April.
This summer, Elko and his staff will host a long list of 2026 prosects, including five-star OL/DL Lamar Brown, four-star LB Tank King, five-star cornerback Brandon Arrington and four-star OL Zaden Krempin. This is just the start of what's to come, as the Aggies are still competing for the No. 1-ranked 2026 class when it's all said and done.

Godinez (13-5-0) is ranked 11th among strawweight (115-pound) contenders while Andrade is ranked fifth among strawweights and ninth among flyweights (125 pounds). Godinez, 31, ended a two-fight losing skid with a win over Brazil's Julia (Psycho) Polastri in March. The Mexican-born, Vancouver-based fighter is 8-5-0 in the UFC. Andrade (26-14-0) won the strawweight title at UFC 237 in May 2019 when she knocked out American Rose (Thug) Namajunas. But she lost to China's Zhang Weili in her first title defence. The Brazilian was stopped by flyweight champion Valentina (Bullet) Shevchenko at UFC 261 in April 2021. Andrade has lost her last two outings and five of her last seven. She was submitted by Canadian Jasmine Jasudavicius last time out, at UFC 315 in May in Montreal. Andrade is 17-12-0 in the UFC.

Touted Playmaker Admits to Change of Heart Possibility on Georgia
Touted Playmaker Admits to Change of Heart Possibility on Georgia originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One Atlanta-based playmaker in the 2026 recruiting class is planning to begin his college football career for the Boise State Broncos. At least, that's his plan at the moment. Advertisement Three-star receiver Terrious Favors told On3's Jeremy Johnson that he is still communicating with the Bulldogs, who are pushing to convince the wideout to stay much closer to home for school. 'Coach Coley has been texting me every day, checking on me, sending me graphics about my track season because I just got out of track. So we've been communicating really well," Favors told Johnson. "They want me really bad. They've been saying that I need to come to Georgia. "There's nobody like Georgia.' Favors suggested a change in his commitment is possible. 'It would be a school I would consider if I were to decommit from Boise and pick somewhere else. They're really just a great program. They got Coach Kirby. He coached under Nick Saban, the best coach, probably of all time. He's got good experience with great players," added Favors. Georgia Bulldogs football head coach Kirby Smart© Corey Perrine/Florida Times-Union / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Considered an athlete on the 247Sports composite rankings, Favors sits outside the top 50 at his position and on the Georgia in-state rankings. The composite rankings have him rated as the No. 818 prospect in the 2026 recruiting class. Advertisement But the Bulldogs are eyeing Favors likely because of his speed. "Favors' track speed grabbed Georgia's attention this spring. The Bulldogs' development of speedy players like Arian Smith has grabbed Favors' attention," wrote Johnson. Despite his love for Georgia, Favors concluded saying his commitment to Boise State is "locked in." The Bulldogs, though, will have another crack at changing Favors' mind this weekend. Rivals' Jed May reported Thursday Favors will take an official visit to Athens, Georgia this weekend.
