Texas A&M Offense Looks Real But One Concern Still Looms

Texas A&M's 2026 offense features new talent and key returns, setting the stage for a promising season despite tough competition.

Texas A&M’s offense has enough firepower to catch attention in 2026, but On3 stopped short of putting the Aggies in its top 10. Instead, Crain & Cone gave A&M an honorable mention, slotting the program alongside BYU in this week’s rankings.

That nod still says plenty about where this unit stands. Last season, Texas A&M averaged 33.8 points per game, and the personnel returning around quarterback Marcel Reed gives the Aggies a real foundation to build on. Reed’s numbers from last year - 3,169 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and 12 interceptions - powered an offense that found ways to score in bunches.

The receiving room is where the makeover really shows. Texas A&M added transfer Isaiah Horton, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound target who brings a different kind of body type to a group that was built on speed a year ago. Transfer wideouts KC Concepcion and Mario Craver combined for 1.836 yards and 13 touchdowns last season, and Concepcion was the first of a record 10 players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, going 24th overall to the Cleveland Browns.

Craver now steps into the lead role as Reed’s top target after producing 917 yards and four touchdowns, including a record 207 yards in the Aggies’ road win over Notre Dame. Around him, Texas A&M can line up Ashton Bethel-Roman, Terry Bussey, freshman Aaron Gregory and former five-star receiver Jerome Myles, giving the Aggies a wideout group that looks deep and dangerous.

The backfield has its own questions, but also options. Le’Veon Moss was lost for the year during A&M’s home win against Florida, and Rueben Owens handled the load before fading late in the season.

Even so, Owens finished with a career-high 639 rushing yards and five touchdowns. This year, he and rising sophomore Jamarion Morrow are expected to split the starting snaps.

The biggest swing factor may be up front. Texas A&M is replacing four starting offensive linemen, and early-season chemistry will matter.

Still, offensive line coach Adam Cushing has size, experience and depth to work with through the transfer portal and the 2025 signing class. If that group comes together, the pieces are in place for the Aggies to justify more than just an honorable mention.

Texas A&M Has A New Roster Question Mike Elko Must Answer

Texas A&M heads into the new season with plenty of momentum after an 11-2 finish in 2025, but a fresh roster wrinkle has emerged as the Aggies continue sorting out what Mike Elkos team will look like when camp gets moving. A recent ruling making all class of 2022 athletes eligible this season has opened the door to some intriguing possibilities, and it has naturally led to conversation about whether the Aggies could look back to the past to help shape the present.

For now, though, the question is less about what names might be available and more about whether Texas A&M will choose to act on the option at all. There has been no official announcement about adding anyone to the roster, which leaves the situation in a familiar holding pattern for a program trying to balance continuity, roster management and the reality that unexpected eligibility changes can quickly alter the conversation.
