Overview
- Zyron Forstall, a five-star edge rusher, announced his Texas A&M commitment Tuesday on social media after visiting College Station over the weekend, picking the Aggies over Notre Dame, LSU and Miami.
- His pledge made him the highest-rated member of A&M’s 2027 group and pushed the class to No. 1 in Rivals’ updated list, with the class also ranked among the nation’s best by 247Sports and ESPN.
- Forstall said he felt at home in College Station and cited relationships with head coach Mike Elko and defensive line coach Tony Jerod-Eddie, along with trust in developer Elijah Robinson.
- The IMG Academy junior from New Orleans posted 28 tackles, about nine tackles for loss and five sacks in eight games last season, and ESPN ranks him No. 11 overall in the 2027 class.
- The commitment is verbal and non-binding, and recruiting outlets report he is likely to take an official visit in early June as Elko continues building a defense-heavy 2027 class.
