  • Texas A&M Final OV Weekend, Sorsby Leaves Texas Tech & Aggies Top Freshman Impact? / Texas A&M Aggies LIVE 66

    Texas A&M Final OV Weekend, Sorsby Leaves Texas Tech & Aggies Top Freshman Impact? / Texas A&M Aggies LIVE 66
    Jun 17 2026
    Episode Notes: Texas A&M Final OV Weekend, Sorsby Leaves Texas Tech & Aggies Top Freshman Impact? Show: Texas A&M Aggies Live (Voice of College Football Network) Hosts: Cameron Ohnysty & Kannon Torres (TexasAMVOCFB) Date/Context: June 16, 2026 Recent episode covering late June/early July 2026 recruiting updates, official visits, portal news, and 2026 season outlook. Overall Summary The episode focuses on Texas A&M's strong 2027 recruiting momentum (#1 class), key commitment decisions, final official visit weekend impressions, the Brendan Sorsby/Texas Tech situation, projected impact freshmen for 2026, and a quick note on baseball. Emphasis on Mike Elko’s high-end talent pursuit, development focus, and avoiding over-reliance on the portal. Hosts express optimism on A&M’s recruiting edge in several battles while noting the fluid nature of top prospect decisions. 1. Key Commitment Timelines (Early Segment) John Meredith (5-star CB, North Crowley): Commitment announcement set for Friday. Finalists: Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama. Hosts lean Texas as the current favorite due to a recent surge, though A&M and others still pitching hard. Both Texas and A&M hosted him on OVs this summer.Note on eligibility: Meredith was ruled ineligible for varsity due to transfer rules — viewed as not career-derailing; may even help with early enrollment/training.Quote (approx.): “This really was going to come down to Texas and Texas A&M... Texas has won this commitment so far.” — Cameron Honesty. Caden Henderson (5-star LB, Florida): Moved up commitment to Thursday, July 18 (on Pat McAfee Show at 1:15 PM). Finalists: Notre Dame, Texas A&M, LSU. A&M has momentum from strong OV, relationship with LB coach Travis Williams, and SEC fit. Notre Dame surging post-OV; LSU in mix but longer shot.Hosts see it as a true A&M vs. Notre Dame race (very close). A&M still in strong position; continued recruiting/flip potential if he picks elsewhere. Miami out despite early favorite status.Key factors: Scheme fit questions answered on A&M OV; elite athleticism/NFL potential.Quote (approx.): “I wouldn’t call this one over yet for the Aggies... They led for a good bit.” — Discussion between hosts. Recruiting Context: Emphasis on relationships, final pitches, and how OVs + timing (e.g., Henderson’s Notre Dame OV before announcement) can swing things. A&M pushing hard for elite defenders under Elko/Williams/Hemphill. 2. Final Official Visit Weekend Highlights Landon Williams Callis (High 4-star RB, DeSoto): Hosted recently after Missouri OV. Long-time A&M target with early predictions. Extremely productive (video-game stats: 3,500+ rush yards, 55+ TDs as junior). Family football pedigree (related to Jacquez Rogers, etc.). A&M competing with Oregon, Texas, Missouri. Hosts view him (and Sherrod Baker) as ideal Elko-style backs: touchdown machines, versatile, championship mentality.Selling point: Future starter role, balanced offense design around RB skill set (vs. pass-heavy schools). Other Visitors: Committed standouts like 5-star OT Mark Matthews, Jaquan Snell. Flip target Ryden Cook (Top-100 DL, Barbers Hill) — recently offered, strong OV pitch. Productive sack/TFL numbers; fits Elko’s athletic, high-motor DL rotation. A&M has “foot in the door” despite Houston commitment. Outlook: A&M loading up on high-character, productive Texas talent. Elko prioritizes development + high-end recruits over constant portal rebuilds. 3. Brendan Sorsby / Texas Tech Situation Sorsby filing for supplemental NFL draft after mutual parting with Texas Tech amid betting-related issues/addiction.Hosts express empathy for Sorsby as a person battling addiction (prevalent with sports betting ads). Discuss Big 12 politics, injunction, and Texas Tech’s PR response (continuing support while no further pay/compensation).View: Situation resolved cleanly now; Sorsby talented enough for mid-round draft shot. Texas Tech moves forward with Will Hammond, etc. 4. Aggies Top Freshman Impact Players for 2026 Season Hosts each pick 2 projected impact freshmen (early contributors, especially vs. non-conf games like Missouri State): Aaron Gregory (WR): Dynamic, athletic (6'3"), separation skills, catch-point winner. Versatile (X/slot). Favored target for Marcel Reed in spring; protected snaps in spring game. High ceiling in loaded WR room (Horton, Craver, etc.).Brandon Arrington (CB): Elite speed, man-coverage skills, ball-tracking. Depth/rotational role behind vets (Humphrey, Ricks, Gibson) but ready for early reps. Injuries create opportunities.Bryce Perry-Wright (DL/Edge): Freakish athlete, high motor. Rotational contributor (interior pass rush potential) in new DL group. Benefits from Tommy Moffitt; size/athleticism fits Elko scheme.Tamarian Watkins (LB): Converted safety, big hitter (6'3"+), athleticism. Depth crucial with Damian Sanford injury. Can fly around and provide special teams/rotational snaps. Needs to add mass but instincts strong. Themes: ...

    Texas A&M OV Recap, Week 3 Preview, ESPN Future Rankings & Brendan Sorsby Ruling / Texas A&M Aggies LIVE 65
    Jun 10 2026
    Episode Notes: Texas A&M Aggies Live – Recruiting OV Recap, Brendan Sorsby Ruling, ESPN Brightest Futures Rankings Hosts: Cameron Ohnysty & Kannon Torres Date/Context: Recent episode covering Texas A&M’s big recruiting weekend (2027 class OVs), the Sorsby NCAA injunction, and Adam Rittenberg’s ESPN Power 4 futures article. Class now at 20 commits. 0:00 – Intro & Show Overview Welcome and co-host intro.Focus: Recruiting updates from a strong weekend hosting 2027 prospects (committed + uncommitted). Emphasis on top targets in a competitive cycle. Recruiting Updates (Main Segment) Joshua Dobson (5-star CB, North Carolina) – Top Priority Returned for an official visit; A&M in driver’s seat.Battle with 5-star John Meredith (Texas lean). Hosts believe A&M likely lands one but not both due to playing time/NIL allocation.Dobson: Elite boundary corner traits (“a dog”), fits Mike Elko/Mike Elko’s secondary development (with new DB coaches Lyle Hemphill & Brian Gross-Armiato).Competitors: South Carolina, Michigan, Auburn. Dobson has more visits planned but A&M currently #1.Comparison to past battles (e.g., Brandon Arrington); both Dobson & Meredith are 1-2 corners nationally. A&M already has top-10 CB Raylon Henry.On3’s Steve Wiltfong leans A&M for Dobson + OL Albert Simeon. Caden Henderson (5-star LB, Jesuit Florida) Official visit went well; A&M still has strong buzz.Battling Miami & Notre Dame.Versatile “Swiss Army knife” athlete – plug-and-play elite vs. more specialized prospects like Aston Whiteside (already committed).New LB coach Travis Williams pushing hard. Notre Dame factor (mom Catholic), but A&M leads. Miami always lurking with strong recent classes. Sir Rod Baker (RB, DeSoto – Committed to Texas Tech) Took OV to A&M (and Texas); looks good in blackout jerseys.Trooper Taylor’s relationship highlighted (extended family vibe, key recruiter).Still committed to Tech but A&M in mix; another key RB target is Landon Williams-Callis (visiting soon).Productive high school back who can do it all; A&M needs a blue-chip RB. DeSoto/Tiger Ride connection noted. Eric McFarland III (5-star WR, IMG Academy Florida) Announced commitment date + top 3: Florida, A&M, Georgia.A&M feels strong post-OV; leader in the race.Electric gadget/playmaker (faster/more athletic Anais Smith comp). Fits Holman Wiggins’ plans (Alabama/Cosby background, spread passing concepts).Jaden Upshaw (prior commit) named McFarland as desired teammate. Andres Waterman (Top Kicker, Tomball, TX) New commitment – #1 kicker per Cole’s Kicking (essentially 5-star).Addresses past special teams issues (kicking woes).Paired with recent Asher Murray addition; big leg + energy on visits.Culture point: A&M’s history of strong specialty units and NFL production. Overall Class & Staff Notes Class at 20 after recent additions.Strong emphasis on secondary, LB, RB, WR, and special teams.Elko staff (including new coordinators) executing well on the trail. Brendan Sorsby Ruling Discussion (Texas Tech QB) Temporary injunction granted; Sorsby eligible for 2026 season after gambling violations (~$90k in bets).Hosts express frustration: Sets dangerous precedent. Compares to past strict NCAA punishments (e.g., Hunter Dekkers).Concerns over integrity, gambling addiction in sports, and “no rules” era. Criticism of Texas Tech’s approach and donor reactions.Broader impact: Other programs may avoid scheduling Tech; potential domino effect on NCAA authority.Advice: Seek help for gambling issues; gambling is a widespread problem amplified by sports media.Outlook: NCAA appealing; trial in Feb 2027. Feels like money over consequences. ESPN Brightest Futures Rankings (Adam Rittenberg Article) Texas A&M jumps to #9 (huge rise from prior ~#28).Factors: Coaching stability (Elko era), roster management/transfer portal success, star power, quarterback outlook, recent CFP appearance.Context: Year 3 under Elko after CFP berth. Strong recent recruiting (3 straight top-10 classes, 45+ blue-chips). Retaining talent and development culture shift from prior staff.Neighbors: Sandwiched near Alabama (#10) & LSU (#8).Top 3: Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas.Hosts praise Elko’s recruiting, staff hires, physicality (Tommy Moffitt), and trajectory. Optimism for sustained contention and potential national title window.Marcel Reed development and QB depth noted as variables.Other notes: Teams like UCLA (Bob Chesney), Cal, Oklahoma State as potential risers. Closing & Additional Notes Recruiting recaps every Tuesday.Preview of more football-focused content, schedule predictions, baseball pitching coach search.Calls to like/subscribe, follow hosts (Cameron on X/USA Today, Cannon’s Patreon – Bell Tower for deeper A&M recruiting).Gig ’em; next episode Tuesday. Key Takeaways A&M recruiting momentum strong in 2027 cycle, especially at premium positions (CB, LB, WR, RB, K).Dobson remains the biggest fish with A&M favored.Special teams investment highlighted ...

    Texas A&M Lands Multiple 2027 Recruits + Better or Worse in 2026? | Texas A&M Aggies LIVE 64
    Jun 3 2026

    Episode Notes: Texas A&M Lands Multiple 2027 Recruits + Better or Worse in 2026?

    Show: Texas A&M Aggies LIVE (Voice of College Football Network) Hosts: Cameron Ohnysty & Kannon Torres Length: ~1 hour 8 minutes Date: June 2, 2026

    Main Topics

    1. Recent 2027 Recruiting Wins (Big momentum after official visit weekend)

    • Miles Smith (4 DL, interior pass rusher): Shut down recruitment. Strong fit with new DL coach Elijah Robinson. Seen as near 5-star talent with high productivity.
    • Aston Whiteside (3 LB): First domino from official visits. Athletic, developmental prospect. Compared to Torian York. High upside in Mike Elko/Tommy Moffitt system.
    • Frederick Arts (4 EDGE, Florida): Beat out Alabama, Florida, South Carolina. Explosive, physical, versatile pass rusher. Major defensive line addition alongside Zyron Forstall, etc.
    • Loya Valade (3 CB/Nickel): Versatile athlete (also played WR). Strong closing speed. Fits nickel-heavy, man-coverage defense. Beat Miami, Florida, Auburn.

    Bonus: Early 2028 commit — Chance Archangel (highly rated EDGE from Louisiana). Impressive camp performance + multiple prior visits.

    Overall Take: A&M’s defensive line and secondary recruiting looks excellent. Emphasis on athleticism, versatility, fit, and development. Class currently ranked #1 nationally; momentum carrying into 2028.

    2. 2026 Season Outlook: Better Team, Worse Record?

    • Consensus: A&M should be a better football team in 2026 but faces a much harder schedule → possible 9-3 or 10-2 record.
    • Offense:
      • New OC Holman Wiggins (highly trusted ex-Saban assistant) under heavy scrutiny.
      • Marshall Reed enters Year 3: Needs better decision-making, consistency, and improvisation.
      • Major weapons: Isaiah Horton (elite transfer), Mario Craver, Ashton Bethel-Roman, Terry Bussey.
      • Emphasis on physicality, run game (Reuben Owens + Jameirion Morrow), and play-action.
    • Defense: Expected to be elite again. Strong secondary, DL depth, Damian Sanford’s return (if healthy), DJ Hicks, etc. Elko’s second-half adjustments remain a strength.
    • Schedule Challenges: Tougher back half (Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina). Early games (Arizona State, Kentucky) carry high variance.
    • Key Theme: Trust the coaching staff’s development track record (evidenced by recent NFL Draft success). Avoid past pitfalls of the 2022 recruiting class.

    3. Broader Program Discussion

    • Elko’s recruiting philosophy: Athletes + fit + development over raw stars.
    • Contrast with Jimbo Fisher era (talent hoarding without development plan).
    • Importance of culture, strength & conditioning (Tommy Moffitt), and roster management in the portal era.
    • Early commits signal strong program buzz.

    4. Quick Baseball Segment

    • Disappointing regional exit vs. USC.
    • Pitching coach Jason Kelly + associate head coach fired.
    • Discussion on hitting coach needs and roster retention/draft losses.
    Key Quotes / Themes
    • “Athletes over everything… fit and development matter most.”
    • “Better team, worse record” due to schedule strength.
    • Emphasis on Marshall Reed’s growth and Wiggins’ play-calling.

    Recommended For: Texas A&M fans wanting detailed recruiting breakdowns and realistic 2026 season expectations.

    Next Episode Tease: Deeper dive into the back half of the 2026 schedule + predictions.
