Five-star 2027 OL Kennedy Brown sets June 5 official visit to Texas A&M as Mike Elko and Adam Cushing surge ahead of Oregon.
Texas A&M football recruiting is gaining momentum under Mike Elko.
Fresh off an 11-2 season and the program’s first College Football Playoff appearance in 2025, the Aggies are turning postseason buzz into serious traction on the 2027 recruiting trail. At the center of it all? Five-star offensive lineman Kennedy Brown.
The Kingwood (Houston) standout is widely viewed as one of the top offensive line prospects in the 2027 class, and he’s no stranger to College Station.
Brown is expected to make his 13th visit to Texas A&M this summer, including his first official visit on June 5. That alone tells you where things stand.
While Oregon remains in the picture, most recruiting insiders consider the Aggies the team to beat. And it’s not just about wins.
Brown has consistently pointed to Texas A&M’s culture, academic support, and relationships with the coaching staff as major reasons the Aggies sit at the top of his board.
His bond with head coach Mike Elko and offensive line coach Adam Cushing has become a defining factor in his recruitment.
Then there’s geography.
For a Houston-area prospect like Brown, College Station offers the rare blend of SEC-level football without sacrificing proximity to home.
The drive from Kingwood to Kyle Field is manageable, meaning family access isn’t a logistical headache ... it’s a guarantee. And that matters.
Brown has made it clear that relationships drive his decisions. Staying close to family while competing for championships in the SEC is a powerful combination.
Texas A&M’s 2025 breakthrough season proved the Aggies can compete on the national stage. Landing Kennedy Brown would signal they’re building something sustainable in the trenches ... the kind of foundation championship programs are built on.
