Texas A&M grabbed Ohio receiver Trey Haddad after his official visit, giving Mike Elko’s 2027 class another Midwest weapon and its 21st commitment.
Texas A&M football recruiting just kept its foot on the gas, and this time Mike Elko reached into Big Ten country to grab another piece for the Aggies’ loaded 2027 class.
Trey Haddad, a 6-1, 175-pound wide receiver from St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, Ohio, announced his commitment to Texas A&M after taking an official visit to Bryan-College Station over the weekend.
His pledge gives the Aggies their 21st commitment in the 2027 cycle and adds another intriguing Midwest prospect to a class that already sits at No. 1 nationally, according to 247Sports.
That’s the kind of recruiting momentum that starts making rivals nervous.
Haddad picked Texas A&M over a group that included West Virginia, Kansas, Buffalo, Miami (Ohio), Louisville and Michigan State.
While he isn’t one of the highest-ranked names in the class, his tape gives the Aggies something they clearly wanted: a tough, sharp route-runner who can separate, compete through contact and attack the football when the window gets crowded.
In 2025, Haddad caught 35 passes for 548 yards and five touchdowns during his junior season.
Those numbers don’t scream video-game recruit, but they do show a receiver with production, polish and room to climb.
He’s ranked as the No. 1,677 overall prospect in the 2027 class, the No. 218 wide receiver and the No. 75 player in Ohio.
For Texas A&M, this isn’t just about adding another body to the receiver room. It’s about expanding the footprint.
Elko has already shown he can pull talent from outside the traditional SEC recruiting lanes, and Haddad becomes the third Midwest commitment in the Aggies’ 2027 class.
That matters. If Texas A&M can keep stacking prospects from Texas, the Southeast and the Midwest, the Aggies’ recruiting ceiling gets even more dangerous.
There’s also a football bloodline here. Haddad’s father played at Buffalo before reaching the NFL, while his brother Cody Haddad spent time at Ohio State before transferring to Iowa.
This isn’t a prospect walking into big-time football blind. He knows what high-level expectations look like.
The headliners in Texas A&M’s class remain five-star tackle Mark Matthews, defensive lineman Zyron Forstall and a group that includes 10 top-100 commitments.
But classes aren’t built only on stars. They’re built on fits, traits and development bets. Trey Haddad gives the Aggies another one.
And with Texas A&M still sitting on the nation’s top 2027 class, Elko’s recruiting machine doesn’t look close to slowing down.
