Texas A&M’s roster got a fresh look this week, and the biggest changes show up in the weight room.
Just days before preseason camp begins, the Aggies released updated measurables for all 121 players on the 2026 roster, and several returners and newcomers showed notable gains. Freshman linebacker Tamarion Watkins led the way, adding 27 pounds and checking in at 228 after working with strength and conditioning coach Tommy Moffitt.
There were other eye-catching jumps, too. Junior wide receiver Mario Craver went from 165 pounds last season to 180.
Senior center Mark Nabou is now 307 after gaining 23 pounds. Alabama transfer tackle Wilkin Formby added 25 pounds and will play at 320.
Texas A&M also has some hefty options at tight end. Freshman KK Johnson is listed at 262 pounds, while Kiotti Armstrong is up to 285, giving offensive coordinator Holman Wiggins a pair of big bodies to work with in 12 personnel.
The updated numbers also paint a clearer picture of where the Aggies stand across the depth chart as they prepare for the 2026 season opener on Saturday, Sept. 5 against Missouri State in Kyle Field. Third-year coach Mike Elko made headlines at SEC Media Days when he said, "I show them the trophy case and its empty," a line that drew national attention.
Here’s a look at the updated measurables for Texas A&M’s projected starters:
Quarterback: Marcel Reed at 185 pounds, Brady Hart at 200, and Helaman Casuga at 213.
