Mike Elko and Texas A&M notched another huge recruit Thursday as 5-star athlete Brandon Arrington committed to play for the Aggies. Arrington ranks as the 26th overall recruit in the nation and the second in California, according to 247 Sports. Arrington had offers from over 40 schools, but had it narrowed down to Oregon and Texas A&M before his commitment day. Arrington announced his commitment on a live stream on 247 Sports' YouTube channel.

Arrington joins a 2026 class for the Aggies that ranked as the 5th in the country before his commitment. He became the first 5-star recruit to commit to Texas A&M in this recruiting cycle.
The 6-foot-2 athlete starred on both sides of the ball at Mount Miguel in Spring Valley, California. Like Travis Hunter, Arrington lined up at WR and CB in high school. In 2024, he totaled 57 catches for 527 yards and five touchdowns on offense, while adding 26 tackles and an interception on defense.
Arrington also shines as a sprinter, winning Gatorade California Boys Track & Field Player of the Year as a sophomore in high school after winning state titles in the 100-meter and 200-meter. According to Greg Biggins of 247 Sports, Arrington may be better at track than he is at football.

'Dynamic two-sport athlete who doubles as one of the nation's top sprinters,' said Biggins. 'In fact, some have called him a potential Olympic hopeful in 2028 and he's already broken a pair of age group records set previously by Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles.'
