Jimbo Fisher has signed three straight top 10 classes at Texas A&M. The 2022 class is already off to a very good start with eight four-star commits. A fourth straight will be a lock if the Aggies can close on three must-get recruits.

Harold Perkins would be a win over all the competition

It has been well over a decade since Texas A&M has inked a five-star linebacker prospect. That is the task in front of Jimbo Fisher and staff in College Station.

The Aggies knocked a first weekend in June official visit out of the park with the 6-foot-2, 210-pound freak athlete. Since that time, the New Orleans native made an official visit to arch rival Texas, and childhood favorite LSU.

Patience and a creative approach will be key for Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies, as Perkins plans to take his recruitment into early January.

The Cy Park (TX) linebacker and running back will use three remaining official visits in the fall. Currently, Florida and Oregon are scheduled during the season. Alabama and LSU remain as possibilities.

Keep Kam Dewberry home

Keeping Atascocita High (TX) offensive lineman Kam Dewberry home is a must for Jimbo Fisher after Kelvin Banks picked Oregon.

The job for the Texas A&M staff got more difficult after a very successful visit to early favorite Ohio State to wrap up the month.

Along with trips to Texas A&M and Ohio State, the long-armed tackle made trips to LSU and Texas (unofficial) in June.

Dewberry is another recruitment will play out until December or early January. Two official visits remain to be made in the fall with Oklahoma and Texas the likely destinations.

Bryce Anderson will pick between hated rivals

Beaumont West Brook defensive back Bryce Anderson will be the first must-get recruit off the board.

The 6-foot, 186-pound versatile defender will make unofficial trips to Texas and Texas A&M to end July with a decision before the season. Therefore, the Aggies will have one more opportunity to beat out the favorite Longhorns.

This recruitment will likely come down to final a pitch by Jimbo Fisher. And Texas A&M will get the final word following a trip to Texas the day prior.
