The Aggies boosted their future offense by landing four-star wide receiver Jaden Upshaw on the College Football Recruiting trail. Upshaw confirmed his decision via Hayes Fawcett of On3/Rivals.
"Ain't nothing better than an Aggie," the star from Lee County High in Leesburg, Ga., told Fawcett.
Upshaw ranks No. 5 overall among state of Georgia prospects. Head coach Mike Elko had assistants Trooper Taylor and Holman Wiggins lead the recruiting efforts to lure in the 6-foot-2 talent. Upshaw cited the coaches as one reason why he chose TAMU.
"I can see myself there. I can see Coach Wiggins and coach (John) Perry getting me to where I want to be. It's just the people. The coaches around. All of that," Upshaw told Joseph Hastings of Aggie Yell on On3/Rivals.

Rival Southeastern Conference school Florida also fell into his mix. But he felt a deep connection with Wiggins.
"Now that he's the offensive coordinator, I've sat down with him and he's going to do what he's going to do. I feel like he's going to do a great job," Upshaw said.
Upshaw brings inside/outside versatility to College Station. That's great news for a team needing a future KC Concepcion here, as the star wideout heads to the NFL Draft .
The class of 2027 talent caught 47 passes for 902 yards and scored eight touchdowns as a junior. Georgia and even national champion Indiana represented two of Upshaw's other offers before choosing Texas A&M. Again, the Hurricanes and Crimson Tide landed in his final running before choosing TAMU.
