The 2027 recruiting class isn’t the sole focus for Texas A&M this summer, but making headway with priority prospects in the cycle is crucial to developing strong relationships heading into next summer, when the cycle reaches its peak importance. So far, coach Mike Elko and his staff have done just that, recently hosting several elite 2027 prospects, including borderline five-star offensive tackle Ismael Camara.
During this week’s Next Future 50 event, Camara, similar to 2027 five-star cornerback Joshua Dobson, Camara’s recent visit to Texas A&M during the program’s annual OL/DL camp resulted in building bonds with several of the Aggies’ coaches, especially offensive line coach Adam Cushing.
Cushing’s success on the recruiting trail has been praised nationally after landing three of the top offensive tackles in the 2026 class over the last two weeks, so it’s no surprise that he’s already made headway with Camara, who had plenty of good things to say during his recent interview with GigEm247’s Andrew Hattersley.
“I got to talk with Coach Cushing,” Camara stated. “That was amazing. I learned a lot of stuff. I’m looking forward to being back here maybe once or twice this summer. I love it.”
Last week, during the Next Future 50 media availability, Camara continued to praise Texas A&M, noting that the Aggies have made a significant impact on his recruitment, as Cushing’s coaching tactics and the program’s O-line recruiting success in the 2025 and 2026 classes have certainly played a part.

According to 247Sports, Camara is currently positioned as the 95th-ranked prospect in the 2027 class, the 10th-ranked offensive tackle, and the 15th-ranked prospect in Texas.
