The NEO A&M football team is preparing for the 2026 season with renewed energy, aiming to build upon a 6-5 finish from the previous year.

Crissup stressed the importance of learning from past experiences, particularly the need to persevere through adversity and maintain focus on the game plan. The team's season opener is scheduled for Saturday, August 29, at home against Coffeyville Community College in a Border Battle matchup.
