Texas A&M will host 2026 5-star Edge for an official visit next month
Texas A&M will host 2026 5-star Edge for an official visit next month One of the elite defensive prospects in the 2026 recruiting class has Texas A&M atop his list of future destinations. Five-star edge Tristian Givens, who received a prediction to land with the Aggies earlier this month, has reportedly set his official visit with the Aggies. According to Gigem247's Anderew Hattersley, coach Mike Elko and his staff will host Givens for an official visit on June 20-22, which will serve as his final OV of the summer after visiting Tennessee on June 13. This is excellent news for the Aggies, who are not only predicted to land the elite pass rusher but have dominated the Georgia recruiting landscape after landing four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory and four-star edge Jordan Carter from the Peach State. Given's recent interview with 247Sports' Ryan Callahan revealed that he is looking to make his college decision towards the end of June, as the Aggies will be the final school hosting the standout defender. Between Florida State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M, Givens has a tough decision to make, while his future visits will make his decision much easier. During his last two seasons at Carver High School, Givens recorded 30 sacks, including 18 during his 2023 sophomore season. According to 247Sports, Givens is the 23rd-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the third-ranked edge prospect, and the fourth-ranked prospect in Georgia.

Highly Touted Star Puts Georgia on Notice
The Georgia Bulldogs were off to a fast start with one four-star edge rusher in the 2026 recruiting class. But he hasn't felt love from the Bulldogs since his initial offer. That's what four-star edge rusher Tristian Givens, a top 2026 Georgia recruit, told On3's Jeremy Johnson this week. Advertisement 'I don't too much talk to them even though I'm in the backyard, you feel me,' Givens said. 'It's all love with them, it's nothing against them… It bothers me a little bit because I'm from Georgia, so it kind of messes with me just a little bit.' A Columbus, Georgia, native, Givens is a consensus top 10 recruit in the state for the 2026 class. The 247 Sports composite rankings rated him the No. 6 Georgia prospect. Georgia Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart© Brett Davis-Imagn Images Givens grew up with a grandmother who is an Alabama Crimson Tide fan. Yet, he rooted for the Bulldogs during his childhood. 'I always grew up watching them, and I'm a Georgia fan,' Givens added. 'I'm from Georgia, and ever since my grandma always watched Alabama, I watched Georgia.' Advertisement These factors contributed to Givens not feeling super fuzzy about the Bulldogs, even though they are his "dream school." Perhaps because of how the Bulldogs have approached his recruitment, the Texas A&M Aggies hold an overwhelming lead for Givens in On3's Recruiting Prediction Machine. According to RPM, the Aggies have a 90% chance of landing the edge rusher. Johnson reported that the Tennessee Volunteers, USC Trojans and Florida State Seminoles are also involved with Georgia. The 247 Sports composite rankings rated Givens the No. 7 edge rusher and No. 63 overall recruit in the 2026 class. Related: Georgia Gets Bad News on Highly Coveted Star Playmaker
