Texas A&M is a finalist to land 2026 4-star CB out of Georgia

[ASFN Admin]

One of Texas A&M's priority prospects in the 2026 recruiting class has narrowed down his options, and the Aggies are still in contention for four-star cornerback Dorian Barney, who released his top six program list, including Texas A&M, Colorado, Michigan, North Carolina, Penn State, and Georgia Tech.

For one of the top defensive playmakers in the 2026 cycle, Barney's list, not including Georgia or Alabama, is surprising but proves that head coach Mike Elko and Texas A&M defensive backs coaches Ishmael Aristide and Jordan Peterson have put in the work this offseason to solidify their relationship with the talented cornerback.

Barney has already visited Texas A&M four times, including last weekend, when he had the opportunity to take in the first weekend of spring practices. He can easily see himself within Elko's secondary in the coming seasons. In an interview with GigEm247's Andrew Hattersley, Barney discussed his relationship with the A&M coaching staff.

"It was great getting back. That was my fourth time back. So I experienced a lot already with going there some other times, but it was good this time," Barney stated. "The environment, hanging around with the staff. They always show me love when I'm there."

According to 247Sports, Barney is currently positioned as the 163rd-ranked prospect in the class, the 18th-ranked cornerback, and the 19th-ranked prospect in Georgia.
