OT Rogers picks Texas A&M after spurning Mizzou

Four-star offensive tackle Lamont Rogers committed to Texas A&M Tuesday morning, he announced on social media, landing with Aggies one day after the No. 24 prospect in the 2025 ESPN 300 pulled his pledge from Missouri.

Rogers, the 6-foot-7, 310-pound lineman, is ESPN’s No. 7 offensive tackle prospect in the 2025 class. Committed to Missouri since July, Rogers reopened his recruitment Monday and now stands as the top prospect in Texas A&M’s 2025 class. He joins the Aggies as the program’s 13th ESPN 300 pledge less than 24 hours before the start of the three-day early signing period on Wednesday.

Texas A&M was a finalist for Rogers alongside Texas and Oklahoma when the three-year starter from Horn High School (Mesquite, Texas) gave his pledge to Missouri in July. But Rogers’ recruitment remained fluid through the fall and he took at least four trips to Texas A&M following his commitment to the Tigers, including a visit to the Aggies in Week 14 for the program’s 17-7 loss to Texas on Saturday.

Rogers lands with Texas A&M as the Aggies’ third top-100 pledge at the end of coach Mike Elko’s first full recruiting cycle with the program alongside four-star cornerback Adonyss Currie (No. 55 in the ESPN 300) and outside linebacker Noah Mikhail (No. 64) atop the nation’s 11th-ranked class.

Rogers marks a key pre-early-signing period addition for Texas A&M as the Aggies’ lone ESPN 300 offensive line commit in 2025. But the program is set to sign a deep in-state offensive line class in this cycle with pledges from three-star tackles Marcus Garcia and Jonte Newman and three-star guards Nelson McGuire, Ty Thomas and Joshua Moses, all from Texas. Fellow three-star guard Connor Carty, who committed to Texas A&M, pulled his pledge from the Aggies Tuesday afternoon.

Rogers may not be Texas A&M’s last high-profile addition of the cycle. The Aggies enter Wednesday in the mix for five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi (No. 9 in the ESPN 300) and four-star wide receiver Jerome Myles (No. 33) — both of whom visited the program in Week 14 — while Texas A&M continues to battle Michigan for four-star defensive end Javion Hilson (No. 77).
