With the Aggies' 2017 recruiting class now at 18 total commitments going into the season, it's time to take a closer look at the numbers and break down where this Texas A&M recruiting class stacks up in the overall Rivals.com team rankings.

Each prospect is assigned a set number of points based on their Rivals Rating (RR). The amount of points per prospect ranges from 150 points for a 6.1 five-star prospect down to 15 points for a 5.2 two-star prospect.

In addition to the points assigned per Rivals Rating (RR), the prospects ranked in the Rivals250 national rankings receive bonus points depending on where they are listed from 1-250. For example, the No. 1 prospect in the country adds +100 bonus points and the No. 250 prospect in the country adds +3 points.

Currently, this Texas A&M 2017 recruiting class ranks as the No. 9 overall class in the nation and the No. 5 overall class in the SEC conference.
