JUST IN: No.5 Player In America, Five-Star Offensive Tackle Lamont Rogers, Chooses Texas A&M Over Texas and LSU For 2025 Class
The towering 6-foot-6, 305-pound lineman from Mesquite, Texas, made the announcement via a live stream Friday evening, ending months of speculation and a heated recruiting battle that featured in-state rival Texas and perennial SEC powerhouse LSU.
Rogers, widely regarded as the best offensive lineman in the 2025 cycle, is not only a physical specimen but also a technical marvel at the tackle position. His ability to protect the blind side, create holes in the run game, and anchor against elite pass rushers has made him one of the most coveted prospects in recent memory.
Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko and his staff celebrated the monumental commitment, which marks a massive statement of intent for the Aggies as they rebuild their roster with top-tier talent. “Lamont is the type of player who can change the entire trajectory of an offensive line,” said one member of the A&M recruiting team. “He’s not just a big body — he’s smart, explosive, disciplined, and passionate about the game.”
Rogers had made official visits to Texas, LSU, and Texas A&M earlier this spring, with each program rolling out the red carpet in a bid to land the blue-chip star. Many believed Texas held the edge due to proximity and the resurgence under coach Steve Sarkisian. LSU, meanwhile, offered him a direct path to the NFL under a system that has produced elite linemen in recent years.
But in the end, it was the combination of A&M’s aggressive recruitment, revamped coaching staff, and clear development plan that won over Rogers and his family.
“Coach Elko and Coach Addazio made me feel like I was the missing piece,” Rogers said during his commitment. “They didn’t just talk about football. They talked about life, growth, and what kind of man I want to become. Texas A&M is where I see myself becoming great on and off the field.”
Rogers’ decision boosts Texas A&M’s 2025 recruiting class into the national top five and reaffirms the school’s ability to compete for elite-level talent despite recent coaching transitions. With Rogers in the fold, A&M gains a foundational piece for its offensive line and a player who could realistically start as a true freshman.
His commitment also deals a blow to the Longhorns and Tigers, both of whom had placed a high priority on securing his services. As the SEC prepares to welcome Texas into the fold, this recruiting win gives Texas A&M early bragging rights and a psychological edge over their in-state rivals.
For now, Aggie fans can celebrate. They’ve landed one of the biggest prizes in the 2025 class — a dominant tackle with the tools to be a future first-round NFL draft pick.
