Texas A&M football landed another 2026 recruit Sunday when four-star linebacker Samu Moala announced his commitment, one day after four-star prospects Jordan Carter and Aaron Gregory pledged.
A Lawndale, California native, Moala attends Leuzinger High School and is the 14th-ranked edge in the Class of 2026 and the 20th-ranked player in California, according to the 247Sports Composite. He chose Texas A&M over Alabama, Auburn, BYU and Arizona.

Carter and Gregory committed right after the Aggies’ win over the No. 9 LSU Tigers to maintain first place in the SEC. In the postgame press conference, Texas A&M coach Mike Elko made a strong statement about the culture of the program. Gregory is the No. 6 wide receiver in the Class of 2026 while Carter is the third-ranked edge rusher.
“This is a real program,” Elko told reporters after the game. “It is not fake. It is not a politician running this program, talking fast and BSing everybody. This is a real program. And for all the recruits out there, this is a real place.”
After these commitments, Texas A&M’s recruiting class ranks second in the country for 2026.
