Despite losing two 5-star junior prospects, DL Walter Nolen & WR Evan Stewart, in the NCAA Transfer Portal, new head coach Mike Elko and his crew have done a tremendous job recruiting top-tier talent to College Station.
Twenty-three players from the Jimbo Fisher era have departed Aggieland this offseason via the portal, which opened up 23 spots for the coaching staff to fill. Elko’s latest feather in his cap came on Tuesday night as former 4-star Alabama cornerback Dezz Ricks committed to play for Texas A&M.
Ricks is 1-of-8 players with a 4-star rating recruited by the new regime. The Aggies are now ranked No. 1 in 247Sports’ “2024 Transfer Football Team Rankings.” There aren’t any 5-star prospects currently on their way to play at Kyle Field but there are plenty of 3-star recruits (13).
