Texas A&M makes Top-10 for 4-star EDGE Loghan Thomas

When the clock struck 12:00 on Tuesday afternoon, Texas A&M and nine other programs got some good news as 2024 Katy (Tex.) Paetow four-star EDGE Loghan Thomas released a top-10 list.

Along with Texas A&M is Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Arizona, USC, Notre Dame, Georgia, Texas, Ole Miss, and Colorado.

Thomas is the No. 363 overall prospect and No. 28 EDGE in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 57 player in Texas.

On3 rates Thomas higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2024 On300, he is the No. 124 overall prospect, No. 11 EDGE and No. 27 player in Texas.

The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Thomas holds 22 total offers.

The Aggies have good connections with Thomas and Paetow

Texas A&M has had success recruiting Paetow recently, including two blue chip prospects in the 2023 cycle in five-star DL David Hicks and four-star LB Daymion Sanford. So, out of all schools in the top-10, the Aggies have the best chance in terms of location and familiarity in recruiting process.

According to the On3 visit center, Thomas has visited Texas A&M one time so far, however I would expect him to get back to camp this spring a time or two. Oklahoma and Texas Tech are currently tied for his most visits at two.

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine currently has Oklahoma with a narrow lead over Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Texas to land a commitment from Thomas.

However, expert predictions are still a big piece of the RPM equation.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $37K. 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.
