The class of 2023 has seemingly been being recruited for years. And now, it is time for them to make things official. Wednesday is the first day of the Early Signing Period for the class as prospects can make things official by inking a National Letter of Intent (NLI) with their schools of choice.
Texas A&M is looking to follow up a record-breaking 2022 class with a very strong 2023 one as well. The Aggies enter the day No. 16 in the team rankings but have a chance to move higher as there are some announcements on Wednesday with prospects still considering A&M.
***IF YOU’VE EVER WANTED TO GIVE VIP ALL-ACCESS A TRY, TODAY IS THE FINAL DAY OF THE SIGNING DAY FLASH SALE FOR HALF OFF!***
The following list of players are the current Texas A&M pledges. The times by their name are either when their ceremonies are or when they’ve told us they play to send their NLIs in to A&M. Prospects can start sending them in at 7 a.m. their time, so the Aggies could start receiving them from the Eastern time zone at 6 a.m. Central. The players with afternoon ceremonies will likely send them in earlier, but could potential have A&M hold off on announcing until those ceremony times. One commit that will not sign on Wednesday is five-star defensive lineman David Hicks. He will do so at a ceremony on Friday. Another in defensive tackle Samu Taumanupepe will hold off on being announced until a ceremony on his birthday on Jan. 23.
There are also a trio of announcements that A&M fans will be watching closely. The first is a current Alabama national top-100 pledge, who officially visited Aggieland this past weekend. He will decide between sticking with the Crimson Tide or signing with A&M or Auburn. The second is a local linebacker that was offered last with, with things looking good for the Aggies there. The third is a four-star speedster that decommitted from Arkansas on Monday. He was also at Texas A&M this past weekend on an unofficial visit. The Aggies are the Crystal Ball leader for him.
We will keep things updated on this story as well as on the related thread throughout the day as signings and announcements happen. Keep refreshing this page all day for the latest on the Aggies’ Early Signing Period efforts as we will update it when NLIs come in as well as when uncommitted prospects make their announcements.
