2026 3-star OL out of Euless (TX) has placed Texas A&M in his Top 5 program list
Aggies Wire Texas A&M's 4th-ranked 2026 recruiting class is filled with talent at nearly every position, but coach Mike Elko has yet to land an offensive lineman after landing six O-line commitments in the 2025 cycle. Going into the 2025 season, Aggies O-line coach Adam Cushing could be a Joe Moore award candidate, with every 2024 starter returning. On the recruiting trail this offseason, Cushing has already proven to be one of the top assistant coaches in the country. This week, Texas A&M made the final cut for one of the more underrated prospects in the 2026 cycle. Three-star offensive lineman Pupungatoa Katoa placed the Aggies in his top five program list, joining Texas, SMU, Tennesee, and Oklahoma. Nicknamed Toa, Katoa recently visited the Longhorns during the program's recent junior day. However, given the Aggies' recent success in recruiting the trenches, you can never count the program out, especially at this point of the year. Size is not an issue for Katoa, who currently stands at 6-4 and 365 pounds and can play both guard positions. According to 247Sports, Katoa is currently positioned as the 68th-ranked interior offensive lineman and the 101st-ranked player in Texas.
