Texas A&M enters Week 11 desperate for a win after consecutive losses to Alabama and South Carolina on the road, and while the Week 9 bye provided the roster time to rest and recuperate before facing the Gamecocks, the Aggie offense failed to capitalize on their 9-7 lead in the fourth quarter, ultimately falling 17-9 and dropping to 4-5 on the season.

Third-year coach Mike Elko is guaranteed to return next season, but after confirming that first-year offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins will retain his position for the rest of the year, many, including myself, believe this move primarily has to do with the Aggies' No. 2-ranked 2027 recruiting class, which has lost commitments from five-star offensive tackle Mark Matthews and four-star linebacker Aston Whiteside.

However, Elko is predicted to retain most of the program's 24 commits, and Saturday's matchup vs. No. 8 Tennessee will be the second-to-last opportunity to host many of the 2027 commits and a long list of priority 2028 commits and prospects.

According to Rivals insider Steve Wiltfong, here is the list of 2027 commits who will make their way back to College Station this weekend:

• 4-star QB Jayce Johnson

• 4-star WR Jaden Upshaw

• 3-star WR Trey Haddad

• 5-star OL Kennedy Brown

• 4-star OL Kaeden Scott

• 4-star OL DeMarrion Johnson

• 5-star Edge Zyron Forstall

• 4-star Edge Kaden McCarty

• 4-star DL Myles Smith

• 5-star LB Kaden Henderson

After visiting Notre Dame last weekend, Kaden Henderson will be back in College Station, as Mike Elko and LB coach Travis Williams hope to lock down his commitment before Early Signing Day, which would be a significant win after losing Mark Matthews.

In the 2028 cycle, 5-star Edge Prince Che, who received an early prediction to commit to Texas A&M, will be back in Kyle Field, combined with four-star Texas A&M legacy and four-star running back Ian Thomas, who is also a favorite to land with the Aggies. Wiltfong's article details several other blue-chip defenders who will be in attendance for Saturday's game, which you can read here.

Texas A&M will host No. 8 Tennessee on Saturday at 2:00 p.m., airing on ESPN.
