Texas A&M’s immense success on the recruiting trail this summer has been something to behold, as coach Mike Elko and his staff have already landed 19 commits, including five last week that included five-stars Brandon Arrington (CB) and Tristian Givens (edge) on Thursday and Saturday.
However, one of the program’s early 2026 commits, four-star tight end Xavier Tiller, decommitted from the Aggies in early February and has reportedly found a new home just four months later, as the Georgia native has committed to Florida State after taking an official visit with the Seminoles on June 13. After decommitting from the Aggies, Tiller received offers from Wisconsin, Alabama, Arizona, Vanderbilt, and several other major programs.
Losing Tiller hurt the Aggies’ future tight end rotation. Still, it wasn’t detrimental, knowing that the transfer portal will continue to feature veteran tight ends that fit OC Collin Klein’s system. On the field, Tiller is one of the better receiving tight ends, thanks to his basketball background, and was one of current Ohio State QB Air Noland’s top receiving options at Langston Hughes High School.
During his 2023 sophomore season, Tiller hauled in 25 receptions for 352 yards and seven touchdowns. Tiller could shoot up the Florida State depth chart by his senior season, and will likely rise in the recruiting rankings by the end of his senior year.
According to 247Sports, Tiller is currently positioned as the 154th-ranked prospect, the 9th-ranked tight end, and the 14th-ranked prospect in Georgia.
