Aguero is rated 4-stars, the No. 2 safety and No. 49 prospect overall nationally in the class of 2023 on the 247Sports Composite. The Lynn, Massachusetts native is listed at 6-feet, 195 pounds.

Brian Dohn of 247Sports evaluated Aguero in 2020, noting the traits of a future Power 5 starter:

Frame to play at 195 to 205 in college. Elite safety prospect who has receiver ability. Missed part of freshman season with ankle injury. Overwhelming physical ability in Massachusetts high school scene. Can play in the box or in coverage. Aggressive playing down hill. Excellent body control. Breaks down and changes direction. Accelerates quickly and has top gear. Shows closing speed. Plays physical. Has to continue to develop backpedal and hip flexibility to open and run deep. Needs to develop man coverage skills to cover slot. Multi-year starter at high-level Power 5 school.
