Elite 2027 4-star QB places Texas A&M in his Top 5 program list

We've reached the point in the summer where the 2027 recruiting class has become a high priority, as next summer, this cycle will likely dominate the headlines. For Texas A&M, the 2026 cycle now includes 19 commitments, following the addition of five commitments last week, but one of the top 2027 signal-callers has placed the Aggies in his Top 5 program list.

2027 four-star quarterback Jayce Johnson has announced that Tennessee, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Florida State, and Texas A&M are the final programs he will focus on ahead of his commitment on August 3. Johnson is considered elite due to his impressive size and arm strength at this point in his young career. Texas A&M offered Johnson back in January, but has yet to host the QB.

Set to enter his all-important junior season at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia, Johnson made his mark during his 2024 sophomore season after throwing for 1,799 yards, 16 touchdowns, and three interceptions, paired with over 300 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

Texas A&M OC Collin Klein has already proven to be one of the top quarterback recruiters in the country after landing 2026 four-star Helaman Casuga, who was considered one of the top passers during On3's Elite 11 camp this summer. Johnson has yet to reach his full potential, as he needs to work on several areas of his game, including touch and vision. However, it appears that he'll be considered a five-star prospect sooner rather than later.

According to 247Sports Composite, Johnson is currently positioned as the 32nd-ranked prospect in the class, the 2nd-ranked quarterback, and the 4th-ranked prospect in Georgia.
