You’ve no doubt heard that the Aggies hauled in an impressive 2022 recruiting class. But just how impressive? There are lots of angles to attack this from, but we’ll try to give a comprehensive view of the insanity of this class via a list of superlative factoids.
- Texas A&M just signed the No. 1 recruiting class of all time (OK you’d probably heard that one).
- The Aggies’ signed seven five-star recruits. No team has ever signed more in a single class.
- The Aggies signed more five-star commits in 2022 than in their previous six classes combined.
- Texas A&M signed a whopping 17 of the nation’s top 100 players. That’s as many top 100 recruits as they signed in their previous three classes combined.
- If A&M only signed those 17 top 100 players and everyone else decommitted, they would still have the No. 3 class this year.
- The Aggies only signed three three-star players this year, the fewest they’ve ever signed. In Kevin Sumlin’s last recruiting class (2017), A&M signed 20 three-stars.
- 19 of the Aggies’ 29 commits were ranked in the top 10 at their position.
- The Aggies signed the No. 1 overall player from Arizona, Florida, Tennessee and Sweden, and the No. 2 overall players from Florida and Pennsylvania.
- The Aggies signed 5 of the top 10 players in Texas, 7 of the top 12, and 9 of the top 20.
- If the Aggies somehow lost the bottom 15 of their 29 recruits, leaving them only 14 players left, they’d still have a higher-rated class than Texas.
- If A&M lost all seven of their five-star recruits, they’d still have a higher-rated class than Texas.
