Locklear’s Dual Threat Tests Aggies Defense | Texas A&M Aggies Football News

Texas A&M hits the ground running in fall camp, eyes locked on a high-stakes Week 1 showdown against Missouri State, where a dual-threat transfer QB, Skyler Locklear, has earned the starting nod. Locklear, a UTEP standout with over 1,400 yards and 13 TDs last season, also rushed for 600+ yards and 10 scores — but he’s also thrown 11 INTs. With a history of turnovers (23 TDs, 17 INTs over two seasons), he’s a perfect target for the Aggies’ revamped defense, which needs discipline and pressure to force mistakes. Can the Aggies’ secondary, still finding its footing, exploit Locklear’s turnover-prone tendencies? The answer could define their 2026 season opener.
