Under one week from signing day for the 2025 recruiting class, Texas football has quite a few notable targets on the trail who are visiting for the Lone Star Showdown this weekend against the No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies at Kyle Field in College Station.

Can Texas football ride some momentum from a possible Texas A&M rivalry game victory this weekend to close out the 2025 class on a high note?

The list of visiting recruits for the Texas-Texas A&M game this weekend in College Station includes one Longhorns commitment in the 2025 class, and quite a few potential 2026 pledge targets. Last but not least, the Longhorns also have a handful of flip targets for the 2025 class this fall on the trail who will be in the stands in College Station on Saturday night.

A good result for the Longhorns this weekend against the Aggies would be a sizable boost for Texas on the recruiting trail, to close out this class strong entering signing day on Dec. 4.

Here are four of the most important visiting recruits for the Texas-Texas A&M game for the Aggies at Kyle Field on Nov. 30.

Texas is in a good spot early in the recruitment for the son of former Longhorns star tight end Jermichael Finley, Aledo (TX) four-star wide receiver Kaydon Finley, for the 2026 class. Finley was confirmed to be on the visitor list for the Texas-Texas A&M game in College Station this weekend (per On3's Steve Wiltfong).

Finley has visited Texas unofficially for multiple gamedays this fall. He is one of Texas's top in-state wide receiver priorities early in the 2026 class.

Texas already holds a commitment from one blue-chip wide receiver in the 2026 class, four-star Pearland (TX) Shadow Creek product Chris Stewart.
