Summary
Mike Elko’s Texas A&M recruiting blitz is heating up with big Florida commitments—four-star edge rusher Frederick Ards and three-star athlete Loia Valade—bolstering an already elite defensive line. Ards joins five-star Zyron Forstall and four-star Kaden McCarty, while interior DL Myels Smith and Elijah Patmon round out a stacked front. The Aggies are now in the mix for four-star behemoth Raiden Cook (6’6”, 270 lbs), who’s committed to Houston but could be headed to College Station after a standout season with 39 tackles and multiple TFLs. Cook’s official visit is expected this month or early July—Elko’s building a defensive front that’s poised to dominate. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
