2027 OL Prospect Ismael Camara Impresses at Texas A&M Football Camp originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Texas A&M Aggies are pursuing a top offensive line talent in the Class of 2027 on the recruiting trail, and he's managed to turn some heads with offseason camp performances this summer. Advertisement Ismael Camara, a four-star offensive tackle prospect currently ranked the 10th-best at the position in his class by 247Sports, landed an offer from the Aggies in November 2024 -- just his second Power 4 offer at the time. Now, Camara has 13 different power conference programs pursuing him, and is looking to raise his stock via his performances at different Division 1 camps throughout the offseason. Texas A&M Aggies offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III (60) lines up during the second quarter against the LSU Tigers. The Aggies defeated the Tigers 38-23; at Kyle Lysaker-Imagn Images. Camara, a Gilmer (TX) product, recently popped up at a Texas A&M summer camp, and demonstrated exactly why he's such a highly touted prospect despite his lack of varsity film. He looked right at home with the best talents the Aggies' camp had to offer, easily handling multiple defensive lineman while battling a foot injury -- footage of his performance can be found below. The 6-foot-6, 330-pounder is entering his junior season of prep football but was restricted to the JV roster last season due to his transfer regulations, as the Le Mans, France native moved across seas to pursue his football career. Advertisement 'The conversations in the crowd every Thursday night, everyone was just watching him the whole time, it really fun to be a part of,' Gilmer offensive line coach Weston Griffis told KLTV. The stop in College Station wasn't the only summer camp that Camara has impressed at, as he took home the MVP award among offensive lineman at the 2025 Rivals Dallas Camp in early May. Other Aggie prospects have also been earning opportunities at summer camps, including quarterback Helaman Casuga and EDGE Jordan Carter.

Head Coach Mike Elko Is 'Really Excited About We're Where Going' With His Texas A&M Aggies
Head Coach Mike Elko Is 'Really Excited About We're Where Going' With His Texas A&M Aggies originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Texas A&M Aggies have belief and that's all rooted in head coach Mike Elko. Advertisement At the Fort Worth A&M Club Coach's Night, Elko spoke to the doubts and wavering faith that fans, media, and the general public have about Texas A&M football. But what matters is what's fostered in the locker room. With a crew of veterans and returners, Elko has no worry that everyone on his roster believes in the Aggie program and feels like an Aggie at heart. Texas A&M Aggies head coach Mike Elko celebrating a win with his Safranek/Imagn Images "I'm really excited about where we're going," Elko said. "And I think this year, we have a chance to really take this thing forward . . . from start to finish." Texas A&M football is bringing back 16 returning starters and have 23 players entering their final year of eligibility, which is becoming less and less common with the NFL draft and age of NIL. Advertisement Of these starters, the offensive line is coming in hot. "The roster starts with the offensive line . . . we're able to bring back our top seven players," Elko said. ". . . getting Trey Zuhn [III] before the NFL draft, getting Ar'maj Reed-Adams before going into the NFL draft, bringing back both of [those] captains . . . those were huge 'gets' for us."

Crownover's 76.0 run blocking grade and Zuhn's 80.5 pass protection grade earned them earned them the third and fourth spots, respectively, on PFF's highest-rated returning tackles in the SEC. Advertisement When the Aggies start with their offensive line, everything else can fall into place. Marcel Reed has something to prove this season, and the improvements in the wide receiver and tight end positions will assist in that. Aside from those added from the transfer portal, Theo Melin Ohrstrom had huge growth in the offseason, according to Elko. In the 2024 season, Ohrstrom had 10 receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns. The backfield, though, didn't need the portal to amplify it, it only needed time and recovery. Texas A&M Aggies running back Rueben Lew With Rueben Owens and Le'Veon Moss back from injury, Elko expressed his excitement for the two to hit the ground running in the fall. Advertisement "[Moss] looks awesome . . . I'll clap for that one," Elko said. A player that went under the radar in terms of injury and recovery last season was EJ Smith. Elko expects Smith to stand out in the 2025-26 season, something that may be surprising for those that weren't aware of the injuries he had coming into the season. "When you can bring back four experienced ball carriers, three of whom are going into the last year of college football, they believe in A&M." After a 8-5 overall and 5-3 SEC record in 2024, the Aggies their sights set on advancing further both in the upcoming season and as a program overall. Elko and his team know that they have all the tools on the field and in the locker room to accomplish just that.

Texas A&M star OL has officially announced his return for the 2025 season
On Tuesday afternoon, Texas A&M starting offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III announced his official return for the 2025 season during an interview with TexAgs' Ali Russell, as the senior left tackle could have declared for the 2025 NFL Draft but opted to improve his future stock. On paper, Texas A&M OL coach Adam Cushing has managed to keep the entire 2024 offensive line intact, and outside of losing several reserve players, led by sophomore center TJ Shanahan, who transferred to Penn State earlier this month. Still, Zuhn re-joins left guard Chase Bisontis, center Mark Nabou, right guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams, and right tackles Dametreious Crowover and Reuben Fatheree. Zuhn's importance is undeniable, as the veteran pass protector possesses the size, strength, and athleticism to become a first-round draft pick. During the 2024 season, Zuhn was rated as one of the top-performing tackles by Pro Football Focus, earning a 75.1 overall grade, 81.1 pass-blocking grade, and 67.9 run-blocking grade. Offensively, Texas A&M's passing game under quarterback Marcel Reed will be dictated by the protection up front, as Zuhn's return should only boost his confidence under center.
