ESPN REPORTS: 5-Star Guard Meleek Thomas Shocks Hoops World, Commits to Texas A&M Over Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee
COLLEGE STATION, TX — In a massive win for Buzz Williams and the Texas A&M basketball program, 5-star guard Meleek Thomas — one of the top-ranked prospects in the 2025 class — has officially committed to the Aggies, turning down offers from blue-blood programs like Alabama, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
This commitment marks a seismic shift in the college basketball recruiting landscape. Thomas, a dynamic combo guard known for his elite scoring, court vision, and clutch play, was widely considered a near-lock for a traditional powerhouse. Yet in the end, it was Texas A&M’s vision, development plan, and relationship-building that won the day.
“I want to build something of my own,” Thomas said in his announcement. “Texas A&M made me feel like more than a recruit. They made me feel like family and showed me how I could be the cornerstone of something special.”
Ranked in the top 10 nationally by most recruiting services, the 6-foot-5 Pennsylvania native has dazzled scouts and fans with his explosiveness and mature basketball IQ. His commitment immediately elevates A&M’s 2025 recruiting class into elite territory.
Buzz Williams, now entering a crucial stretch in his tenure, praised Thomas for his leadership qualities and potential to make an immediate impact. “Meleek isn’t just a great player — he’s a great person. He has the hunger and drive that fits perfectly with the Aggie culture.”
With this commitment, Texas A&M sends a bold message to the SEC and the national basketball world: they’re not just here to compete — they’re here to conquer.
The Meleek Thomas era in Aggieland is officially underway.
