Preseason Honors Highlight Aggie Strength
Athlon Sports has released its preseason awards for the upcoming college football season, and Texas A&M emerges as the most represented program with eight players earning recognition.
Among the honorees, Mario Craver and Marcus Ratcliffe stand out with national acclaim, earning second‑team All‑American honors and first‑team All‑SEC selections respectively.
Mark Nabou Jr. and Terry Bussey add to the Aggies’ depth, landing on the second‑team All‑SEC list, while Anto Saka and Dalton Brooks receive third‑team nods.
The defensive backfield also sees representation, as Reuben Owens and Deion “Dezz” Ricks are placed on the fourth‑team All‑SEC roster.
The recognitions reflect a strong returning core for Texas A&M, which finished the previous season with a 10‑2 record and a No. 11 ranking in the AP poll.
Coach Jimbo Fisher praised the selections, stating they underscore the program’s commitment to excellence on both sides of the ball.
Athlon Sports, a leading source for college football analysis, highlighted the Aggies’ depth as a key factor in their projected competitiveness within the SEC.
Fans in College Station, Texas, can look forward to seeing these players in action as the team opens its schedule in early September.
