BREAKING: Four-Star Linebacker Daquives Beck Commits to Texas A&M, Bolstering Aggies’ Defensive Arsenal
In a major recruiting win for head coach Mike Elko and the Texas A&M Aggies, four-star linebacker Daquives Beck has officially announced his commitment to Texas A&M, sending waves of excitement through Aggieland and the college football world.
Beck, a 6-foot-2, 225-pound tackling machine from Shreveport, Louisiana, chose Texas A&M over offers from Alabama, LSU, and Georgia. Rated as the No. 8 linebacker in the nation and No. 61 overall prospect in the 2025 class by 247Sports Composite, Beck brings elite athleticism, instincts, and leadership to a linebacker corps that has been steadily improving under Elko’s defensive-minded regime.
In a statement released via his social media, Beck said, “Texas A&M felt like home from the first visit. The coaching staff believed in my potential, and I’m excited to be part of a defense that’s on the rise. I want to be a part of something legendary in College Station.”
During his junior season at Evangel Christian Academy, Beck racked up 117 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, 6 sacks, and 2 interceptions, showcasing his sideline-to-sideline speed and ability to read offenses like a seasoned veteran. Scouts have praised his versatility—capable of playing inside or outside linebacker—and his high football IQ, calling him “a coach on the field.”
Coach Elko praised Beck’s commitment in a press conference this morning, saying, “Daquives is the type of player who changes the identity of your defense. He’s tough, smart, physical, and brings a relentless energy to the field. He’s exactly what we’re building here.”
Beck’s commitment adds to an already promising 2025 recruiting class, which now features five four-star defensive players, further solidifying Texas A&M’s reputation as a defensive powerhouse in the making.
With Beck on board, the Aggies are not only adding talent but also injecting a future leader into the locker room. Expectations are high, and Aggieland is buzzing with anticipation.
