Texas A&M is predicted to land two 2028 blue-chip Aggie legacies

Texas A&M is closer than ever to securing the No. 1-ranked 2027 recruiting class after securing four-star linebacker Mikahi Allen's commitment earlier this month, bringing the total number of commits to 27 heading into the 2026 college football season.

While third-year coach Mike Elko and his staff will be in the running to flip multiple 2027 commits, which could include five-star CB and South Carolina commit Joshua Dobson, five-star running back Landen Williams-Callis will announce his commitment on August 1, but is currently trending to land with the Texas Longhorns.

As soon as the 2026 season begins, the Aggies will use every home game as a hosting opportunity for the 2028 cycle, which will include two priority prospects who are Texas A&M legacies. This spring, Elko officially offered four-star running back Ian Thomas, son of former Aggie star running back Rodney Thomas, who, according to Rivals insider Sam Spiegelman, is heavily favored to land at his Father's alma mater.

Texas A&M AHC and RB coach Trooper Taylor has led Thomas's recruitment, and while some believe Texas A&M is the leader due to his Aggie lineage, that's far from the truth.

“Coach was clear that it was me and how I play that got me the offer,” Thomas stated to Rivals. “I appreciated him saying that.”

Notable Track & Field star and four-star wide receiver Dillon Mitchell is also predicted to land with the Aggies, sitting at 95% in the latest Rivals RPM, and similar to 2027 five-star WR commit Eric McFarland, Mitchell's elite speed and 5'8" frame make him an immediate impact player in the slot and kick returner. Mitchell's Father, former Texas A&M cornerback (1990-1993) Billy Mitchell, also played in the NFL for the Carolina Panthers.

“At A&M, I have friends on the team,” Mitchell told Rivals. “The coaches showed me on film what a young wide receiver’s progression looks like. They’ve had athletes that they use at receiver, slot and running back.

Texas A&M's long history of landing Aggie legacies will continue, and Ian Thomas and Dillon Mitchell have the opportunity to play anywhere in the country, yet they remain impressed with what Mike Elko is building in College Station.
