In a significant development for Texas A&M football, four-star EDGE rusher Jordan Carter has flipped his commitment to the Aggies, solidifying their position among the top recruiting classes for the 2026 cycle. Carter, a 6-foot-4, 250-pound standout from Douglas County High School in Douglasville, Georgia, is ranked as the No. 35 overall prospect nationally and the No. 5 EDGE rusher in the class, according to On3’s Industry Ranking. Rivals.com elevates his status further, placing him as the No. 10 player in the nation and the No. 1 EDGE in the class.
Carter’s decision to join the Aggies is a significant coup for head coach Mike Elko and his staff, especially considering the intense competition from powerhouse programs like Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia. His commitment adds to a growing list of elite recruits choosing Texas A&M, which has propelled the Aggies’ 2026 recruiting class to the No. 1 spot nationally, according to 247Sports.
This momentum is further bolstered by other high-profile commitments, including four-star quarterback Helaman Casuga from Draper, Utah, and four-star linebacker Samu Moala from Carson, California. Casuga, who passed for over 6,475 yards and 60 touchdowns in his first two seasons, chose Texas A&M over USC and Utah, citing a strong relationship with offensive coordinator Collin Klein. Moala, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound linebacker, committed to the Aggies over USC, Texas, and Tennessee, bringing versatility and athleticism to the defense.
The Aggies’ recruiting efforts are also highlighted by the addition of four-star safety Chance Collins from Mansfield Timberview High School in Texas. Collins, known for his impressive speed and playmaking ability, chose Texas A&M over offers from Utah, Texas Tech, and West Virginia. Additionally, five-star kicker Asher Murray from Shreveport, Louisiana, committed to the Aggies, showcasing their strength in special teams.
With these high-caliber recruits, Texas A&M is positioning itself as a formidable force in college football, both on the field and in recruiting. The Aggies’ 2026 class is shaping up to be one of the most impressive in recent memory, setting the stage for sustained success in the coming years.
