Seattle O’Dea four-star interior offensive lineman Isendre “Papa” Ahfua has committed to Texas A&M.

He chose the Aggies over finalists Miami and Utah.

Ahfua is the No. 117 overall prospect and the No. 5 IOL in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 1 player from Washington.

The 6-foot-4, 285-pounder took an official visit to College Station on June 9, then followed that up with a quick return for an unofficial visit on July 29. He now joins an A&M class that’s loaded with talent on the offensive line.

Jimbo Fisher’s pledge list now consists of four O-linemen, headlined by Ahfua and Beaumont (Texas) four-star offensive tackle Weston Davis, the No. 101 overall prospect in the cycle. They’re joined by Katy (Texas) Tompkins four-star IOL Ashton Funk and Katy (Texas) four-star IOL Coen Echols.

Ahufa has an On3 NIL Valuation of $94K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

A&M owns top-10 class

The Aggies now have the No. 9 class in the nation and No. 6 class in the SEC, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. Ahfua is the the 10th four-star pledge for A&M, which is the fifth most of any team in the stacked conference.

Phenix City (Ala.) Central five-star wide receiver Cam Coleman highlights as the lone five-star commitment for Jimbo Fisher. He is the No. 13 overall prospect, No. 3 WR and No. 1 player from Alabama in the cycle.

Behind Coleman, Longview (Texas) Pine Tree defensive lineman Dealyn Evans, Silsbee (Texas) WR Dre’lon Miller, Davis, Ahfua and Blountstown (Fla.) safety Jordan Pride check in as top-130 overall recruits.
