Key recruit: Derrick GriffinStill on the board: Justin ManningNext year's name to know: Jerrod HeardFreshman to follow: Larry PryorComment: Kevin Sumlin has landed some highly impressive skill players, including Griffin, Kohl Stewart and Laquvionte Gonzalez. On the other side of the ball, defensive tackle Isaiah Golden could finish as one of the top interior linemen in the class. It's not necessarily winning head-to-head battles vs. Texas for elite recruits, but Texas A&M is still thriving.
