Episode Notes: Texas A&M Recruiting Predictions + Post-Spring Depth Chart Breakdown Podcast: Texas A&M Aggies Live (Voice of College Football Network) Hosts: Cameron Ohnysty & Kannon Torres Length: ~1 hour Air Date/Context: Recent post-maroon & white game episode (offseason focus, May 5, 2026) Main Topics: 2027 recruiting updates (heavy emphasis on DBs and a top OT) + projected offensive depth chart after spring practices. Defensive depth preview teased for next show. 1. Intro & Key Notes Kannon not feeling well but powers through the show.Offseason transition: Focus shifting fully to recruiting + summer official visits (end of May).Damien Sanford injury update (new captain, standout DB): Underwent surgery after spring game leg injury. Timetable uncertain but could miss first half of regular season. Hosts emphasize patience—no speculation on exact return. Devastating loss given his talent and leadership, but better than season-ending. 2. Recruiting Predictions – 2027 Class (Major Momentum Under Elko) Hosts highlight A&M’s strong recent run (e.g., 5-star OL Kennedy Brown) and Elko’s proven DB development track record (NFL traits, man coverage versatility, press/bail comfort). NIL + SEC location + playoff aspirations are big factors. Joshua Dobson (5-star CB/DB, ~#9 overall prospect): A&M now has an On3 prediction from Steve Wilfong (flipped from prior LSU lean). Elite athlete with standout movement, workouts, and film. Elko reportedly told him he’d join one of the best CB rooms they’ve ever had. Fits perfectly with current young DB talent (Brandon Arrington, Raylon Henry, Adonai Curry, etc.). Other suitors: LSU (still ~27% chance per Rivals), Michigan, South Carolina. Hosts see this as a massive win if it sticks—early playing time possible.John Meredith (5-star CB): Recent prediction to Texas. A&M was early favorite and remains involved; Meredith has visited Austin multiple times recently. Hosts view it as cause-and-effect from Dobson momentum (programs unlikely to land both elite corners). Still taking OVs (A&M, Texas, Alabama, possibly Ohio State). Far from over—summer visits will be key.Mark Matthews (5-star OT): A&M has an On3 prediction. Joseph Hastings (On3) provided an in-home visit update. Matthews is taking all official visits (Miami first in late May; LSU/Georgia planned). Not rushing a decision. A&M feels competitive but realistic about portal/OV battles. Hosts note Miami may have a small early edge due to visit timing and “day-one starter” pitch. Overall Recruiting Takeaway: A&M is hammering the “best DB class in America” message. Elko’s development (safeties thriving, versatile man-coverage guys) + recent NFL draft success (10 draftees) builds credibility. Not every 5-star will land, but landing either Dobson or Meredith would be huge for the secondary. 3. Post-Spring Offensive Depth Chart Projections Hosts feel very good about the offense (all healthy, spring game progress especially on OL). They project based on spring performance, portal additions, and coaching staff comments (Adam Cushing praised heavily). QB: Marcel Reed (starter) – Experienced, dual-threat leader. Brady Hart (backup) – Reclassified freshman; already in program, knows offense, developing under Holman Wiggins. Provides real security (unlike last year’s Miles O’Neal situation). Early-enrollee reps helping.RB: Reuben Owens (RB1) – Added weight, improved pass-catching/vision/balance. Big year expected. Jamari Morrow (RB2) – Explosive one-cut back; joystick-style runner. Depth: KJ Edwards (talented freshman, early PT expected), Tiger Ryden (short-yardage/goal-line packages).WR: X: Isaiah Horton (projected starter – size, speed, hands, contested-catch ability). Backup: Aaron Gregory (strong spring) or Jerome Miles.Slot: Mario Craver (starter – potential first-round talent; chemistry with Reed). Backup: Terry Bussey.Z: Ashton Bethel-Roman (starter – physical route runner, speed). Backup: TK Norman or Terry Bussey (versatile). TE: Micah Riley (projected starter / team captain) – Most complete (inline blocking + receiving). Houston Thomas – Pass-catching specialist; big spring standout. Depth: Kiadí Armstrong (athletic freak, developing), Samuel Mpemba (high-school TE experience).OL (replacing 4/5 starters but high confidence due to portal + Cushing development): LT: Tyree Adams (starter). Backups: Lamont Rogers (1A/1B), Robert Burden, Tyler Thomas (strong spring).LG: Cohen Echols (portal from LSU – experienced run blocker).C: Mark Nabu (veteran lock). Backup: Ashton Funk.RG: Trevon Bob (portal from South Carolina – massive, experienced, powerful). Strong competition from Blake Ivey.RT: Wilkin Formby (starter – Elko/Cushing very high on him). OL Takeaway: Portal additions (Adams, Echols, Bob, Formby) + returning depth (Ivey, Burden, Rogers, etc.) give A&M better line depth than most SEC programs. Spring game showed improvement in run blocking. Hosts stress: Don’t panic ...
