Texas A&M’s 2027 recruiting class is in clear contention to finish as the No. 1-ranked cycle, already landing ten commitments, including four-star quarterback Jayce Johnson, who will reportedly take an official visit to College Station in late May. So far, head coach Mike Elko and his staff are leading with several blue-chip prospects at nearly every position group, including five-star edge Zyron Forstall.
Forstall has been a top target for Elko and his defensive line coaching staff for quite some time, and with Elijah Robinson back on staff, the Aggies have made significant progress with the elite pass rusher, who Elko has compared to unanimous All-American Cashius Howell, who is headed to the NFL next season.
On Monday, Rivals recruiting experts Steve Wiltfong and Sam Spiegelman released their prediction for Texas A&M to land Forstall, as the momentum continues, especially on the defensive side. So far, Elko has landed commitments from four-star defensive linemen Myels Smith, Elijah Patmon, and Kaden McCarty, and will be in the running for several other names in the defensive trenches.
After sending defensive linemen Nic Scourt, Shemar Stewart, and Shemar Turner to the 2025 NFL Draft, all going in the first and second rounds, Cashius Howell is already being predicted as a first-round selection, and you can be sure that Zyron Forstall is paying close attention to Elko’s development track record with elite pass rushers.
Forstall is expected to return to campus in the spring and to attend an official visit this summer, which will make up for the cancelled junior day weekend due to inclement weather late last month. If the Aggies land his commitment in the near future, expect more to come on the defensive side.
