After landing 2026 four-star safety Chace Collins, Texas A&M coach Mike Elko is looking to add at least one more safety in the 2026 cycle. Elko is now wholly focused on landing four-star safety Tylan Wilson, who is coming off his official visit to Texas A&M on July 13 and has already received multiple predictions to land with Texas A&M over the past week.
On Sunday, it was revealed that Wilson will announce his commitment on July 18 and will choose between Arkansas, Clemson, and Texas A&M. His commitment will reportedly be streamed, hosted by @Bingomediallc, along with special coverage by WXXV News 25.
Wilson had been a longtime Clemson target, but after his Texas A&M OV, Elko and his defensive back staff, especially Jordan Peterson, likely sealed the deal with the Mississippi standout. Wilson’s versatility in coverage and ability to play in the box as a hybrid linebacker are key to his development as a productive starter in the SEC.
As I’ve stated throughout the offseason, in the new college football landscape, solid safety play is in high demand. Still, Texas A&M’s 2026 safety rotation will lose one starter in senior free safety Bryce Anderson to graduation, while sophomore Myles Davis and freshman Rashad Johnson represent the future starting rotation, which will include Collins and, possibly, Wilson.
Standing at 6-2 and 185 pounds, Wilson is currently positioned as 247Sports’ 221st-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, the 17th-ranked safety, and the 10th-ranked prospect in Mississippi.
