Texas A&M becomes first team with three 5-star commits in 2027 cycle
Mike Elko and his staff at Texas A&M are taking aim at a truly elite recruiting class in 2027, and the Aggies are off to a heck of a start. With Monday’s Rivals300 rankings refresh and an update to the Rivals Industry Ranking — an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services — A&M is the only school in the country with three five-star commitments thus far. The Aggies currently hold the No.
1 class nationally and also have the second-highest average rating per commitment behind Texas Tech. It’s a group headlined by five-star safety Kamarui Dorsey out of Hampton (Ga. ) and five-star edge rusher Zyron Forstall , by way of New Orleans and now IMG Academy in Florida.
Both were previously tabbed as five-stars, But with the rankings now expanding to give that designation to the top 32 players in the country, St. Frances Academy (Md. ) cornerback Raylaun Henry also checks in with that status now.
Henry pledged to Texas A&M back in November and has remained rock-solid thus far, despite plenty of interest from other schools. Along with Dorsey, he leads an elite defensive back class early in the cycle fo the Aggies. On top of the two five-stars, A&M also has a commitment from elite safety JayQuan Snell , who ranks as the No.
40 prospect in the cycle. San Antonio-area cornerback Hakim Frampton , another borderline four-star, rounds out the class currently. Of the Aggies now-12 commitments, 11 are ranked as blue-chip prospects in the industry rankings — yet another sign of how they’re prioritizing quality and evaluations over sheer numbers.
