Texas A&M’s 2026 recruiting class is making headway with several key prospects. While some battles have received more national coverage, 2026 4-star tight end Matt Ludwig is a new name to watch as the Aggies are now players for his commitment. After visiting College Station last month, Ludwig reportedly enjoyed his visit, speaking with 247Sports’ Brandon Huffman this week.
“With Texas A&M, you can see the history and how passionate everyone in Texas is” he stated. “Everyone in their town is bought in to Texas A&M. Coach Ellsworth is great and coach (Collin) Klein — offensively, he’s a genius. I learned about some of the stuff they do and I loved how they get the ball to the tight end.”
Ludwig stands at 6’4″ and 240 pounds and is considered the best player out of Montana in the last decade-plus. Ellsworth has proven his worth as a recruiter and has more talent in the position to work with during the 2025 season. Texas A&M’s tight end depth is deep, and Ludwig knows he would be valued as a receiving threat and a blocker.
During his 2024 junior season, Ludwig nearly eclipsed the century mark through the air, recording 53 receptions for 822 yards and 4 TDs, including 15.5 yards per reception.
According to 247Sports, Ludwig is currently positioned as the 234th-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the 12th-ranked tight end, and the No. 1-ranked play out of Montana.
