Carthage running back KJ Edwards, the second-ranked all-purpose back in the nation for the 2026 recruiting class, committed to the Aggies Tuesday afternoon. His decision comes two days after his official visit to A&M and before his planned final official visit to Texas, who had been the presumed leader for Edwards for months.

Edwards played up to his high ranking in 2024, rushing for 1,789 yards and 23 touchdowns at a breath-taking 12.6 yards per carry. He added another 30 catches, 383 yards and 3 scores as Carthage won the Class 4A-Division II state championship.

Edwards had a long offer list, but narrowed his official visits to Colorado, LSU, A&M and Texas. The Texas staff considered him a very strong lean, so the decision to commit well ahead of his planned Aug. 2 decision date, commit to the Aggies and do it before his official visit to Austin this weekend must have stunned them.

The 5-foot-10, 195-pound running back joins fellow 4-star Jonathan Hatton Jr. pending additions to the Aggie running back room that will lose Le'Veon Moss, Amari Daniels and EJ Smith after this season.

A&M now has 17 commits, with all but one of their offensive and defensive players being 4-star recruits. The Aggies are up to fourth overall in the Rivals.com national recruiting rankings after Edwards' commitment.

Edwards displays top-notch speed and agility right off the bat. I'm not saying he's like Barry Sanders, but he's got a little of that vision around the line of scrimmage that allows him to find holes before they even open.

Like Sanders, Edwards has tremendous lower body strength and can run through arm tackles. If you're going to get him, you've got to wrap him and take him all the way to the ground.

If he gets beyond the line of scrimmage, defenders are in serious trouble. He's slippery and has that rare talent to be able to make sharp horizontal cuts without losing speed. Once he's in the open, good luck trying to stop him. He ran a sub 11-second 100-yard dash, and he gets up to speed in a hurry. Very few players, even in the SEC, will be able to catch him from behind.

Edwards is an outstanding receiver as well, and that may be where he gets on the field first. A player with his skill set who can consistently catch the ball and make players miss in space could make him a special third down or passing situation back. He could also be a really good return man if he's given the chance.

A&M has their big back already committed in Hatton. Now, they have added a player who is a home run threat every time he gets the ball.
