Four-star cornerback Jordan Hicks just dropped his top eight schools, and Texas A&M is right there in the mix. This California native is the real deal, piling up 62 tackles, five pass breakups, and five interceptions last season. Any program that lands this guy is getting an absolute stud.
The Aggies’ Recruiting Grind Just Got Real
Coach Mike Elko and his staff are already crushing it, fresh off landing four-star linebacker Mikahi Allen for their No. 1-ranked 2027 recruiting class. That’s a huge win, but they’re not slowing down. While five-star running back Landon Williams-Callis is expected to commit to the Texas Longhorns soon, Elko and running backs coach Trooper Taylor are still chasing him, along with four-star RB SaRod Baker, who’s currently committed to Texas Tech. It’s a tough recruiting landscape out there, but snagging a talent like Hicks for their 2028 class would be massive, showing that A&M is building something special.
Why Jordan Hicks is a Must-Get Blue-Chip Talent
Hicks isn’t just another recruit, man. His production last season speaks for itself: those 62 tackles, five pass breakups, and five picks are no joke. That kind of play caught the eye of “nearly every blue-blood program in the country.” Early in his recruitment, Michigan, Syracuse, Washington, and Vanderbilt were schools that “stood out” to him, and Texas A&M was also on his radar. Now, with the reveal that he’s down to his final eight schools, and Texas A&M officially making that cut, the focus shifts. Aggies’ cornerbacks coach Bryant Gross-Armiento and Coach Elko are aiming to host Hicks during one of their early to midseason home games. We know how electric Kyle Field can get, and that place has a history of sealing commitments in the last couple of cycles. Hicks himself confirmed, “I know for sure I’ll be going to a game at Texas A&M.”
So, what’s next? Hicks has his visit to Texas A&M locked in, and that’s when things get even more interesting. Keep an eye on the chatter around Kyle Field, because landing a player with Hicks’ ability could be a defining moment for the Aggies’ 2028 class. This kid is going to make waves, wherever he commits.
