Aggies Back in Playoff Race

Texas A&M football is back in playoff contention thanks to Coach Mike Elko, who’s turned the program around with a historic 2025 season. Quarterback Marcel Reed shredded defenses for 3K yards and 25 TDs, feeding new stars KC Concepcion and Mario Craver. Defensive anchor Cashius Howell dominated the SEC with 11.5 sacks, earned All-American honors, and was drafted by Cincinnati. Elko’s draft predictions hit the mark—10 Aggies selected, including Concepcion going 24th to Cleveland. With a new OC, Holmon Wiggins, and 17 transfers, the Aggies aim to return to the CFP and survive the first round after last year’s loss to Miami. They’re now serious playoff contenders alongside Alabama, LSU, and Oklahoma—but the biggest test? Beating Texas at home. Their brutal road slate against LSU, Alabama, and Oklahoma will decide everything. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
