Whiteside Eyes Texas A&M in 2027

Texas A&M is on the verge of landing a breakout linebacker prospect in three-star Aston Whiteside, who’s officially down to three schools — Kentucky, Miami, and Texas A&M — with his official visit this weekend potentially tipping the scales. With a standout junior season featuring 46 tackles, 8 pass deflections, and 3 TFLs, Whiteside’s potential fits perfectly with new defensive coordinator Mike Elko and linebackers coach Travis Williams, who’s already made a major impression. Despite Kentucky’s new DC having ties to Aggie lore, Texas A&M’s aggressive recruitment and proven track record with linebacker talent could seal the deal — especially since the Aggies haven’t landed a linebacker yet for the 2027 class.
