No. 1 overall prospect for the 2026 class, elite quarterback Lamason Thorne, has committed to the Texas A&M Aggies during a electrifying Midnight Yell Practice showdown at Kyle Field!
Under the lights with thousands of screaming 12th Man fans packing the stands, Thorne – the dual-threat phenom from powerhouse St. Thomas Aquinas (FL) – shocked the college football world by donning the maroon and white hat, choosing Mike Elko’s surging Aggies over finalists Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, and LSU.
The Midnight Magic Moment
The announcement capped a wild “Midnight Football Showdown” event orchestrated by Texas A&M’s recruiting staff. With the stadium rocking, pyrotechnics blazing, and the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band blasting traditions, Thorne emerged from the tunnel in a custom No. 12 jersey. After teasing the crowd with hats from his finalists on the table, he slammed down the Aggie hat to thunderous roars – a true Midnight Yell masterpiece!
Sources say the electric atmosphere, Coach Elko’s vision for a pro-style offense, massive NIL backing, and the unbreakable 12th Man spirit sealed the deal for Thorne.
Why Texas A&M?
• Instant Impact QB Fit: Thorne’s rocket arm, elite mobility, and 4.5 speed make him the perfect successor in Collin Klein’s explosive system.
• Championship Path: Joining a loaded 2026 class already ranked Top-10 nationally, Thorne pushes the Aggies toward No. 1 contention.
• Tradition & Momentum: “The energy at Midnight Yell was unreal – I felt like a rockstar,” Thorne told reporters post-announcement. “This is home now. Gig ’Em!”
Thorne, a 6’4”, 215-pound five-star with over 10,000 career passing yards and 100+ TDs in high school, turned down blue-blood offers citing A&M’s player development and SEC dominance.
Aggie Nation Explodes
Kyle Field erupted as fans chanted “Welcome to Aggieland!” Social media is on fire – #LamasonToTAMU trending nationwide. This flip vaults Texas A&M into the driver’s seat for the 2026 recruiting crown.
