Liucci’s two-cycle recruiting grades: Offense
KEY 5 - College Football Playoff level recruiting
4 - New Year’s Six bowl level recruiting but a hole or two
3 - Florida bowl level recruiting but holes
2 - Some big concerns at the position
1 - Major concerns at the position
Quarterback: 4/5 (for now)
2019: Zach Calzada
2020: Haynes King
Liucci: My prediction is that the next starting quarterback at Texas A&M wins an SEC title.
Running Back: 3.5/5 — Might be a 4/5
2019: Isaiah Spiller, Ainias Smith
2020: Devon Achane, Deondre Jackson, Earnest Crownover, Darvon Hubbard
Liucci: Ainias and Achane can swing this one into a rock-solid 4 and they can be dynamic, impact players.
Wide Receiver: 4+/5
2019: Dylan Wright, Kameron Brown, Chase Lane, Kenyon Jackson
2020: Demond Demas, Muhsin Muhammad III, Devin Price
Liucci: I think Dylan Wright and Moose Muhammad have potential. The wild cards are Kam Brown and Chase Lane. Demas has a chance to be flat-out special. College Football Playoff – or higher – level recruiting here.
Tight End: 5/5
2019: Jalen Wydermyer, Baylor Cupp
2020: Blake Smith
Liucci: No brainer. Without question. This is a 5.
Offensive Line: 3/5
2019: Kenyon Green, Layden Robinson, Blake Trainor
2020: Chris Morris, Akinola Ogunbiyi, Josh Bankhead, Smart Chibuzo, Jordan Jefferson
Liucci: After 2021, this is going to be in the mid-4s. It will be championship-contending.
