In his second year as the head coach of Texas A&M, Mike Elko led the team to a historic football season, achieving 11 wins during the regular season. This was the first time since 1994 that the Aggies reached this milestone, ending a significant curse along the way.

Key Moments from the 2025 Season

The Aggies experienced remarkable victories, including reversing their historic fortune with a memorable comeback against South Carolina and a significant win against Notre Dame. Despite this, their playoff journey was cut short by a disappointing 10-3 loss to Miami in the opening round, leaving fans yearning for what could have been.

Aiming for Growth in 2026

While the team will see some key players departing for the NFL, the foundation for next season looks strong, particularly with the return of standout players like Mario Craver and quarterback Marcel Reed, who recorded nearly 3,000 passing yards and 31 touchdowns last season.

The team must address concerns regarding its defensive capabilities, especially against the run, after encountering difficulties in pivotal moments of the season. New leadership in the coaching staff, including offensive coordinator Holman Wiggins, is set to keep the momentum going as the Aggies aim for further achievements in 2026.

The Road Ahead

The excitement surrounding the program continues, with Texas A&M expected to secure another top 10 recruiting class and fill roster gaps through the transfer portal. Despite a challenging schedule, this Aggies team has established itself as a formidable force in the SEC.
