Our spring preview series continues as we stop off in College Station, previewing all things Texas A&M Aggies for 2024. Former DC Mike Elko is now the head coach, taking over for a very rich Jimbo Fisher. And while many expect the Aggies to go through a transition period, many may not be expecting A&M to be an instant contender - but they are! Andrew Stefaniak of Locked On Aggies helps us preview the squad.
One big reason is QB Connor Weigman is back healthy, and with a new offensive coordinator in Collin Klein calling plays for him. With a bevvy of really good receivers like Moose Muhammad, Noah Thomas, Jahdae Walker and Micah Tease, and tight end Donovan Green back healthy, Weigman could be poised for a big season. And in the backfield, Le'Veon Moss, Amari Daniels and Rueben Owens headline a pretty powerful rushing attack behind what appears to be a strong offensive line.
And defensively, the Aggies return some studs like Shemar Turner, Shemar Stewart and Taurean York in the front seven, but the secondary needs to be reworked. They bring in some big time transfers like Dezz Ricks, De'Rickey Wright and Jaydon Hill which should help alleviate those issues.
But the biggest positive for Elko in Year 1 is the schedule - the Aggies avoid Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Ole Miss. Their toughest games are all home games vs Notre Dame, LSU and Texas, and the rest is very winnable. So a 10-2 season is VERY manageable for Mike Elko and company if everything clicks.
