Aggie Football: 2026 Season Buy/Sell Breakdown
10 Jun
Summary
- Mike Elko's defensive prowess suggests no regression despite roster turnover.
- Rueben Owens II is poised for a breakout 1,000-yard season as starting running back.
- New offensive coordinator's play-calling experience is a cautious factor for 2026.
As the 2026 college football season approaches, Texas A&M fans are dissecting predictions for their team. Coach Mike Elko's defensive expertise is expected to mitigate concerns about roster turnover, suggesting the defense will not regress. This is a 'buy' signal for the Aggies' defensive strength under his leadership.
Running back Rueben Owens II is a significant 'buy' for a breakout 1,000-yard season. With his speed and a new starting position, Owens is projected to excel, especially as opponents may overlook him in film rooms.
There is cautious optimism regarding new offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins. While his background as an Alabama wide receivers coach is noted, his first time as a primary play-caller for the Marcel Reed-led offense introduces a question mark. Coach Elko's focus on defense might also mean less offensive involvement from him, though the overall outlook for the Aggies remains positive.
