Texas A&M offers 2025 LSU CB commit Jaylen Bell

Texas A&M extended a new offer on Friday to class of 2025 Loganville (Ga.) Grayson cornerback Jaylen Bell. Bell is currently committed to LSU and has been since November 2022.

On3 does not yet rank recruits during their sophomore seasons but does release a preseason Watch List of 100 recruits. Bell was one of 10 cornerbacks to earn a spot on the list.

According to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies, Bell ranks as the No. 43 overall prospect in the country and No. 6 cornerback in the nation. He is also ranked as the No. 8 prospect in Georgia.

Jaylen Bell currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $78k. 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.

Bell not the only SEC commit from Georgia the Aggies are after

Texas A&M kicked off a major recruiting weekend this past Saturday, hosting numerous top 2024 and 2025 prospects. One of the premier visitors was 2025 Buford (Ga.) linebacker and current Georgia commit Jadon Perlotte. 

This visit was the first for Perlotte to Texas A&M. Just days ago, he told me “This visit will determine a lot,” and it could not have gone better for the Aggies. 

Perlotte ranks as the No. 34 prospect and the No. 3 linebacker in the country per the 2025 On3 Consensus Rankings, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

I spoke with Perlotte following his visit to get his thoughts. It is safe to say Perlotte enjoyed the experience and the Aggies left a lasting impression. 

“I absolutely loved it. [Texas A&M] blew my mind,” Perlotte said.

I made sure to ask Perlotte what stood out the most while on the visit. While the football and the relationships were a big factor in his experience, it was getting to see the future of the program and the resources that blew him away.

“The new renovations they are adding, I haven’t seen anything like this before,” he exclaimed.

The Peach State is a focus for the Aggies

To this point, Texas A&M has offered 14 prospects in the 2025 class out of Georgia. Bell is the newest but you can be certain there will be more.

Georgia is such a talent rich area, the Aggies will do everything they can to steal prospects away from regional powers such as Georgia, Clemson, and North and South Carolina.
