Just a few months removed from an exhilarating season where freshmen receivers Jeremiah Smith and Ryan Williams took the college football world by storm, one of the elite 5-star playmakers of the 2025 class is getting major buzz. Texas A&M knew they were getting a big-time presence after Jerome Myles flipped from Texas, and expectations are high outside of the program.
One of two top-tier prospects added in December, Myles is a prototypical receiver mold. ESPN recruiting experts Tom Luginbill and Craig Haubert feel as though he's perfect for Aggies offensive coordinator Collin Klein to unleash. They called him "remarkable" in their ranking of the best 2025 recruits.
"Myles is a unique prospect. There are plenty of tall, big targets who lack great speed and quickness because of their size. Conversely, plenty of undersized receivers have great speed. The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Myles combines both. He's a 50-50 jump ball weapon because of height and wingspan who also has rare speed and acceleration to pose a vertical threat at the same time. His speed is remarkable for his size. He ran a 10.36 100-meter dash, a 4.48 laser-timed 40-yard dash and posted a Max Speed of 20.4 mph. Texas A&M's wide receiver room is loaded with quality transfers and wide-open competition. Expect Myles to fit right in."
After totaling 1,431 yards and 18 touchdowns over three seasons at Corner Canyon high school, Myles is viewed in a similar light as Nyck Harbor was entering South Carolina's program. Clearly a physical freak who has some work to do before being a finished receiver, the traits are truly insane.
The timing of a Myles breakout couldn't be better. Days ago, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko confirmed that former 5-star transfer addition Micah Hudson had left the program already. Hudson was supposed to be an impact player next to former NC State star KC Concepion.
Instead, it could be Myles who assumes a big role with Concepcion and fellow former 5-star Terry Bussey. If nothing else, the Aggies have amassed some high-end athletes with the pedigrees they need to take the next step as a program.
We'll see how it all pays off.
