Rivals250 recruits Leon O'Neal and Max Wright teamed up for the first time to announce their commitments to Texas A&M on Friday afternoon. Both players had been considered leans for the Aggies for some time, but the feeling was right for both to commit as the summer gets under way.

Their announcement comes at a time when the Aggies could use some positive exposure with the recent chatter about head coach Kevin Sumlin's status heading into next season. Texas A&M already was off to a solid start with its 2018 recruiting class, but with O'Neal and Wright, now have five four-star commits and a top-twenty recruiting class.

O'Neal will be in attendance at the upcoming Rivals Five Star Challenge presented by Adidas next weekend.
