Five-star offensive tackle commits to Texas A&M over Miami
Mike Elko and the Texas A&M Aggies have landed a commitment from five-star offensive tackle Mark Matthews, the No. 1 offensive tackle in the country.
Mike Elko and the Texas A&M Aggies got their man, landing a commitment from five-star offensive lineman Mark Matthews, the No. 1 offensive tackle in the 2027 recruiting class. He announced his commitment Friday live on the CBS Sports College Football YouTube channel.
Matthews picked Texas A&M over the Miami Hurricanes, Georgia Bulldogs , and LSU Tigers . The Aggies hosted him on several visits since extending him a scholarship offer in January of 2024, which enabled them to surge in his recruitment over the in-state Hurricanes, who will be working to keep him home until the end. He is ranked as the No.
5 overall player and No. 1 offensive tackle in the 247Sports composite. He is also the No.
1 player from Florida. He is the fifth five-star prospect that Elko and the rest of Texas A&M's coaching staff have landed already, joining safeties Kamarui Dorsey and JayQuan Snell, offensive tackle Kennedy Brown, and cornerback Raylaun Henry. His addition gives Texas A&M the best offensive line recruiting class in the country.
