Episode Details

Texas A&M football kicks off spring practices for the 2026 season, with coach Mike Elko and his updated staff focusing on fundamentals ahead of summer recruiting. The Aggies, coming off a strong 2025 campaign that included a College Football Playoff appearance and a nation-leading thirteen NFL draft picks, have seen staff shakeups with the departure of offensive coordinator Collin Klein and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman. Elko promoted wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins to offensive coordinator and assistant Lyle Hemphill to handle the defense. Marcel Reed returns as quarterback, with the team adding four experienced transfers to rebuild the offensive line. On defense, new edge rusher Anto Saka and safety Tawfiq Byard join returning stars, with Elko still calling the plays. Analysts predict a nine-three or ten-two record, with the offense potentially scoring thirty points per game if Wiggins calls sharp plays and Reed builds on his mobility.
