In addition to Edwards and Hatton, who still have to sign, Texas A&M added a pair of high-upside backs in 2025. Three star Jamarion Morrow chose the Aggies over offers from the likes of Alabama, Georgia and Auburn, while Deondrae Riden Jr. signed after an accomplished career at in-state DeSoto High School.

Edwards is a 5-10, 180-pound running back rated as the No. 5 overall recruit in the state of Texas, and the No. 2 RB in the nation, per 247Sports. He’s ranked as the No. 47 recruit in the Class of 2026. That’s the highest-ranking commit landed by A&M thus far from 2026, slightly ahead of 4-star cornerback Victor Singleton (ranked No. 57).

The Aggies are as hot as the Texas heat this summer on the recruiting trail as Carthage star running back KJ Edwards committed to Texas A&M football on Tuesday.
