Aggies' 2025 Season Ends: Rebuilding for 2026 Success
18 Jan
Summary
- Texas A&M football team finished its 2025 season with a 10-3 loss.
- Head coach Mike Elko focused on improving the run game through transfers.
- SEC Unfiltered predicts an 8-4 record for Texas A&M in 2026.
Texas A&M's 2025 football season concluded with a 10-3 defeat, despite facing challenging windy conditions in College Station. Quarterback Marcel Reed's struggles in the pocket and a weak run game limited the Aggies' scoring opportunities. Head coach Mike Elko, not blaming Reed for the outcome, is now focused on strengthening the offensive line and run game, which is crucial for future success.
To address these needs, Elko's staff has secured 17 transfer portal commitments. These additions include four offensive linemen to replace departing starters, five defensive linemen, and other key positions like linebackers, defensive backs, and tight ends. This influx of talent aims to improve both sides of the ball, particularly the run defense which was a weakness in previous losses.
Looking ahead to the 2026 season, predictions suggest an 8-4 record, with potential losses against Oklahoma and Texas. Despite the challenges of a new nine-game SEC schedule, the Aggies aim to build on their first-ever College Football Playoff appearance. With Marcel Reed gaining experience and a strong receiving corps, combined with defensive reinforcements, Texas A&M is poised for a competitive 2026 campaign.
