Texas A&M is emerging as a frontrunner in the recruitment of 5-star two-way prospect Lamar Brown, a standout from University Lab High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Standing at 6-foot-5 and weighing 292 pounds, Brown is recognized for his versatility, excelling on both the offensive and defensive lines. However, the Aggies are reportedly focusing their recruitment efforts on positioning him as a defensive lineman, aiming to leverage his athleticism and power in their defensive scheme.
Brown has narrowed his choices to four programs: Texas A&M, Miami, LSU, and Florida State. While LSU, being the in-state school, was initially considered a favorite, recent developments indicate a shift. After a compelling visit to Miami, the Hurricanes have made significant strides in his recruitment. Nonetheless, Texas A&M appears to have regained momentum, with recruiting insiders suggesting that the Aggies are now leading the race.
The Aggies’ 2026 recruiting class is already shaping up to be formidable, with commitments from four-star edge rushers Jordan Carter and Samu Moala, as well as defensive lineman Jermaine Kinsler. Securing a commitment from Brown would not only bolster their defensive line but also potentially elevate their recruiting class into the top five nationally.
Brown is scheduled to announce his commitment on July 10, 2025, following official visits to his top choices, including a visit to Texas A&M on June 13. As the decision date approaches, the competition intensifies, but Texas A&M’s strategic recruitment and focus on Brown’s defensive capabilities may give them the edge in securing this elite prospect.
