Texas A&M football is actively pursuing a commitment from elite four-star wide receiver Kaydon Finley, who is part of the Class of 2026. Currently boasting the No. 4 recruiting class, head coach Mike Elko is aiming to enhance their lineup even further. The Aggies find themselves in competition with the Texas Longhorns and Notre Dame for Finley’s commitment, which will be announced on Friday, July 4, between 6:30 and 7 p.m.
Kaydon Finley, hailing from Aledo, Texas, is ranked as the No. 110 overall recruit and the No. 14 wide receiver nationally. He is the son of former Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley. Out of his impressive 36 offers, he has narrowed his choices to Texas A&M, Texas, and Notre Dame, with analysts suggesting that Notre Dame may currently have the edge in this recruitment battle. However, with the strong local presence of both Texas A&M and Texas, the outcome remains uncertain.
After recently losing four-star wide receiver Legend Bey to Tennessee, securing Finley would be a significant win for the Aggies as they seek to strengthen their receiving corps. In his last season at Aledo, Finley recorded an impressive 81 receptions for 1,432 yards and 21 touchdowns, showcasing his ability as a game-changer on the field. Scouting reports highlight his physicality, route-running skills, and ability to play both outside and in the slot, suggesting he could be a major asset for Texas A&M.
Currently, the Aggies have commitments from wide receivers Aaron Gregory, Madden Williams, and Mike Brown, and should Finley join this talented group, it would further enhance their offensive capabilities. The competition for wide receiving talent is stiff, as Texas and Notre Dame have also locked in commitments, making this a crucial recruitment period for Texas A&M.
Given Finley’s notable skills and potential, fans and analysts alike are eager to see where he will decide to play at the collegiate level. The anticipation surrounding his announcement adds excitement to the recruitment efforts as Texas A&M aims for a promising future with its growing talent pool.
