Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class, like the 2025 signing class, features several offensive line commits, including three-star offensive tackle Avery Morcho, who, despite his recruiting ranking, possesses the size, strength, and athleticism to become a long-term starter at left or right tackle.
This weekend, Morcho, who attended an award ceremony at the Houston Touchdown Club, was interviewed by local sportscaster Joe Gleason about his commitment to the Aggies ahead of playing with a talented Ridge Point football team during his 2025 senior season.

Morcho represents coach Mike Elko and O-line coach Adam Cushing’s focus on the Missouri City, Texas recruiting landscape, as sophomore wide receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman, who also hails from the area, has been the rising offensive star this preseason.
Morcho’s maturity and readiness to take on his development track under Cushing led to him reaffirming his commitment to the program, which he expressed to Gleason on Saturday night.
“At Texas A&M, it’s just my relationship with coach (Adam) Cushing and coach (Mike) Elko, and it’s really family filled up there in College Station,” Morcho stated. “I really had to ask myself if I really wanted to be challenged, and go into a conference that good, and I was like, yeah, I want to push myself and get out of my comfort zone.”
Morcho also stated that he intends to study business and engineering at Texas A&M, knowing that whenever his football career ends, he’ll have a backup career waiting for him. Standing at 6’6″ and nearly 300 pounds, Morcho is on track to become an elite pass protector, while his run blocking ability is already established.
According to 247Sports, Morcho is currently positioned as the 60th-ranked offensive tackle and the 111th-ranked prospect in Texas.
