Texas A&M has commitments from three of the AJC’s Super 11 players. They are Northside of Warner Robins defensive lineman Elijah Patmon, Hampton safety Kamarui Dorsey and Lee County wide receiver Jaden Upshaw.

Should all three players sign with Texas A&M, the trifecta would mark the 13th time an out-of-state team has secured three or more Super 11s since the honor’s inception in 1985.

Seven teams from four schools have won national titles within four seasons of signing at least three Super 11s. They are Tennessee (1998 title), Alabama (2012, 2015) and Clemson (2016, 2018) and home-state school Georgia (2021, 2022).

Here are the 13 Super 11 classes that had three or more players in an out-of-state team’s recruiting classes.

2026 — Texas A&M
2023 — Florida State
2022 — Alabama
