A Fresh Look on Offense
The Aggies' 2025 campaign ended abruptly when Miami knocked them out in the opening round of the College Football Playoff, leaving a bitter taste that still lingers in College Station.
Coach Mike Elko has overhauled the staff, promoting Holmon Wiggins to offensive coordinator and elevating Lyle Hemphill to defensive coordinator, signaling a decisive shift in philosophy.
The program has tapped the transfer portal for 17 new faces, including former Alabama wide receiver Isaiah Horton, while returning star wideout Mario Craver logged 59 receptions for 917 yards and four touchdowns in his debut season.
Quarterback Marcel Reed, who completed 62% of his passes for 3,169 yards, 25 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, must curb the mental mistakes that have plagued him against elite defenses.
In the backfield, the departure of Le'Veon Moss creates an opening for former five‑star prospect Rueben Owens, while sophomore Jamarion Morrow battles for the starting role.
Offensive expectations are high; the Aggies hope to match or improve on last season’s 30‑plus point average, even though On3 analyst J.D. PicKell left them unranked among the top ten college football offenses.
