Texas A&M 'Friday Night Lights' Recap

You have to believe that three days after one of its biggest recruiting opportunities of the year, the Texas A&M Aggies football program is excited about where it stands with some of the top in-state prospects.

Although the Aggies didn't get a commitment over the weekend, fans should keep an eye on several Texas A&M targets who attended the school's annual "Friday Night Lights" event.

A&M offers a pair of 4-star DTs

The Aggies are hoping to bulk up their defensive line—arguably the best part of the team's defense already. Jordan Elliott and Chris Daniels, two 4-star defensive tackles, have added Texas A&M to their offer lists.

Both are top-15 defensive tackles.

Daniels has TCU, Baylor, Michigan and others high on his list, per 247Sports. He also has offers from Texas Tech, USC, Ole Miss, Miami and several other programs.

Elliott will be the tougher pledge to land, as he's been a Baylor commit since Jan. 31. Elliott said he's keeping all options open, and he's received offers from Texas A&M and Michigan since Friday.

California group in for FNL experience

Members of the Team 19 All-Stars—the California-based seven-on-seven team run by former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson—took a group road trip to Texas A&M for Friday Night Lights. UCLA commit and 4-star wide receiver Michael Pittman, 4-star 2017 wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson Jr. and 3-star dual-threat quarterback Khalil Tate were among those who made the trip.

Tate left College Station not only with an offer but also with a new outlook on the campus.

When he got to the campus, he said it was relatively quiet, but the atmosphere instantly became electric shortly before the events of Friday Night Lights and remained so shortly thereafter.

"I wasn't expecting the campus to be this amazing," he told Bleacher Report. "The facilities are state of the art, and they love mobile QBs that can spin the ball."

No. 1 2017 DT calls A&M offer a 'big deal'

As the nation's top-ranked defensive tackle in the 2017 class, Marvin Wilson is watching his recruiting process slowly heat up. A new Texas A&M offer could help that process blow up.

The Aggies became the third team to offer Wilson, a 6'4", 300-pound talent who is the No. 13 overall player in the 2017 class. USC became offer No. 4 on Monday.

Texas is considered the early favorite, according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions, but Wilson said the Texas A&M offer is a huge one to consider.

"It's a big deal for me in my recruitment to get this offer," he said. "I feel like it's going to get my offers rolling in. The school just feels like home to me."

Okudah ended his productive day with the offer from the Aggies. He took in Friday Night Lights and was excited to land the in-state offer. He added that he's a fan of new defensive coordinator John Chavis.

"It's a school I really have had my eyes on," Okudah said. "The coaches show me a lot of love over there, and FNL is all about energy. It's great to get a feel of the school, and it's really a blessing to have the [other] schools feel highly enough of me to offer."
