2026 4-star RB and Texas A&M commit has shut down his recruitment
2026 4-star RB and Texas A&M commit has shut down his recruitment Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko was 100% on the mark this offseason when discussing Texas A&M's strong foundation under his leadership, which was proven this weekend during one of the biggest recruiting weekends of the summer, as the Aggies hosted 18 2026 prospects, including several commitments. Two of the top names in A&M's 2026 cycle include four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory and four-star running back Jonathan Hatton, who both shut down their recruitment on Saturday afternoon during the third day of their official visits. Gregory, who has been heavily pursued by Texas and others this offseason, noted his strong relationship with the coaching staff and sees himself as a perfect fit in Texas A&M's offense. For Hatton, after re-affirming his commitment earlier in the day, the Cibolo (TX) native followed Gregory in taking to social media (X) to announce that he will shut down his recruitment and cancel is future official visits, which includes his OV to Oklahoma on June 20, as the future starting running back is "1,000% locked in with Texas A&M." On the field, Hatton is an elite runner with the vision, footwork, and upfield burst to become a star at the next level, having produced 1,229 yards and 20 touchdowns while averaging 9.17 yards per carry. With Le'Veon Moss leaving after the 2025 season, bringing Hatton into the backfield lineup will provide immediate depth in 2026. According to 247Sports Composite, Hatton is currently positioned as the 77th-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the 5th-ranked running back, and the 10th-ranked prospect in Texas.

Where is Murray State? What to know of Racers baseball in NCAA super regionals
Where is Murray State? What to know of Racers baseball in NCAA super regionals Show Caption Hide Caption 5 men's NCAA baseball tournament players to watch The Mongomery Advertiser's Adam Cole and The Tennesseean's Aria Gerson break down the top players to watch in the men's NCAA baseball tournament. As the super regional round of the NCAA baseball tournament plays out across the country, seven unseeded teams look to continue causing havoc in the field by punching a ticket to the College World Series. One of those teams is Murray State. The Racers, who defeated No. 10 national seed Ole Miss to win the Oxford Regional, are currently in a best-of-three Durham Super Regional against Duke. Murray State is the 10th No. 4 seed to reach the super regional round of the NCAA baseball tournament, and the second in the last two years from the Missouri Valley Conference after Evansville made it to the Knoxville Super Regional last season. A super regional win against Duke would add another piece of history to Murray State's season, as the Racers are looking to become the first MVC team to reach the College World Series in over two decades. Here's what to know about Murray State: Where is Murray State located? Location: Murray, Kentucky Murray, Kentucky Student population: 8,111 (fall 2023) Murray State is located in Murray, Kentucky, which is located in the western part of the Bluegrass State, and was founded in 1992. It is one of eight four-year public universities in the state of Kentucky. According to U.S. News & World Report, Murray State had a total undergraduate enrollment of 8,111 in the fall 2023 semester. It was ranked eighth among top public universities in the South in 2025, according to U.S. News & World Report. Murray State is located 118 miles away from Nashville, Tennessee and 227 miles from St. Louis. What is Murray State's mascot? Murray State is known as the Racers, and its mascot is named Dunker. As noted on Murray State's website, the school was originally known as the Thoroughbreds, which came from the state of Kentucky's love for thoroughbred racing. However, that nickname was short-lived because it was too long a name for sports writers to use in headlines. After versions of T-Breds, 'Breds, Race Horses and Racers were used, Racers became the official name for Murray State's athletic programs in the late 1950s. What conference is Murray State baseball in? The Racers compete in the Missouri Valley Conference, and have been an affiliated member of the MVC since 2022. Prior to joining Missouri Valley Conference, which is the second-oldest NCAA Division I conference in the country, Murray State competed in the Ohio Valley Conference. Who is Murray State baseball's coach? Dan Skirka is in his seventh season as the skipper of Murray State baseball. He was hired as the ninth head coach in program history ahead of the 2018 season. Before being hired at Murray State, Skirka spent four seasons at Walters State Community College at the NJCAA level of college baseball, where he served as the recruiting coordinator. Being hired at Murray State was a reunion of sorts for Skirka, who served as assistant coach from 2009-14 under former Racers coach Rob McDonald. Outside of his first season at Murray State in 2019, the Racers have not had a losing season under Skirka. Skirka has led the Racers on a historic run this season, as his squad secured the program's first trip to the NCAA baseball tournament since 2003 by winning their first Missouri Valley Conference Tournament title. Here's a full year-by-year breakdown of Skirka's tenure at Murray State: Career: 207-149 207-149 2019: 24-30 24-30 2020: 10-7 10-7 2021: 33-25 33-25 2022: 30-25 30-25 2023: 31-28 31-28 2024: 37-20 37-20 2025: 42-14 Murray State baseball 2025 record 2025 record: 42-14 (17-8 in Missouri Valley Conference) At 42-14 overall, the Racers are in the midst of one of the best seasons in program history. The Racers' 42 wins this season are a new single-season record for most wins in a season, and two more than their previous record of 40 wins in 1975. Murray State took the MVC Tournament with victories against Belmont, Southern Illinois, UIC and Missouri State. The Racers then won their first NCAA regional title at the Oxford Regional, which included two wins against No. 10 Ole Miss and a win over Georgia Tech. Murray State NCAA baseball history The 2025 NCAA baseball tournament is the fourth trip to the postseason for Murray State in program history, and the first since 2003. Here's a full list of when Murray State has appeared in the NCAA baseball tournament:

2026 4-star CB and Texas A&M commit has canceled his future visits
2026 4-star CB and Texas A&M commit has canceled his future visits Texas A&M's recruiting success under coach Mike Elko, who is entering his second season at the helm, has already matched that of former head coach Jimbo Fisher, except for the historic 2022 recruiting class, which, despite its struggles, remains a historical achievement. In the 2026 cycle, Elko has landed 12 commitments, including four-star cornerback Camren Hamiel, who is the highest-rated prospect in Arizona. Landing Hamiel, whose instincts and decisive play makes him a candidate for early playing time as soon as his freshman season, is completely locked in with the program, as Texas A&M recruiting insider Jaxson Callaway (AggiesToday) reported that Hamiel has cancelled his future visits to competing programs, and has moved up his official visit to College Station to Friday, June 12. This has become a trend for several Texas A&M commits, as the news that Mike Elko will call defensive plays and 2025 and beyond is good news for players like Hamiel who possess elite athleticism and versatility, while playing with a high motor at a position that has been an issue for the Aggies over the past two seasons. This summer is critical for Elko and his staff to lock down a majority of the 12 commits in the cycle, and they are looking to flip five-star wide receiver Tristen Keys, who is currently taking an official visit with the Aggies this weekend. Hamiel's dedication to the program is a great sign, and Elko deserves credit for building a foundation that will (hopefully) result in on-field results for years to come.
