BREAKING: Four-Star Linebacker Daquives Beck Commits to Texas A&M—Aggies Bolster Their Defensive Arsenal in Major Recruiting Coup
COLLEGE STATION, TX — In a seismic recruiting development that’s sending shockwaves through the SEC, four-star linebacker Daquives Beck (6’2”, 230 lbs) has officially committed to Texas A&M University, adding elite speed, power, and versatility to a linebacker corps already gaining national attention. The commitment was confirmed Thursday morning during a nationally televised segment on 247Sports, where Beck pulled out a maroon Aggies cap in front of family, friends, and flashing cameras at his high school gym in Long Beach, Mississippi.
Ranked as the No. 7 linebacker in the country and the No. 63 overall prospect in the 2025 class, Beck had narrowed his choices to Texas A&M, Alabama, and LSU. In a dramatic decision that many insiders saw leaning toward the Tigers, Beck flipped expectations and chose head coach Mike Elko’s resurgent program, citing “family atmosphere,” “NFL development,” and “defensive freedom” as key factors in his choice.
“Coach Elko and Coach Ish [linebackers coach Ishmael Aristide] made it feel like home,” Beck said. “They’re building something real down in College Station—and I want to be a part of that. I’m coming to be a leader and bring that edge the defense needs.”
Beck’s highlight tape is filled with bone-rattling hits, elite sideline-to-sideline speed, and uncanny instincts in zone coverage. At Long Beach High, he finished his junior season with 128 tackles, 5 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 3 forced fumbles, dominating both in the box and on the edge.
His commitment marks the Aggies’ fourth four-star defensive pickup this summer and positions them firmly within the Top 5 of the 2025 recruiting rankings.
With Beck’s pledge, the Aggies have sent a clear message: Texas A&M’s defense is being rebuilt with monsters. The SEC has been officially warned.
