Kinsler is ranked as the No. 170 recruit in the country, the No. 22 defensive lineman and the No. 1 player in New Jersey, according to the 247 Sports composite rankings. He is listed at 6’7”, 260 pounds, and chose the Ags over offers from Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and USC, among other.
Texas A&M now has nine commits in their 2026 recruiting class, with Kinsler becoming the third-highest ranked recruit in that group. Three of A&M’s top four commits are along the defensive line, with Kinsler joining edge rushers Jordan Carter and Samu Moala. The Aggies’ class is currently ranked No. 2 in the nation, being only Oregon.
