As Texas A&M gears up for the 2026 season, the Aggies are embracing change with a fresh set of jersey numbers that reflect the ever-evolving landscape of college football. With several key players heading to the NFL or finishing their college careers, new opportunities have opened up for returning players to redefine their on-field identities.
In college football, unlike the professional ranks, players can share numbers as long as they're on opposite sides of the ball. This unique rule allowed fans to witness both Tyreek Chappell and future NFL star KC Concepcion donning No. 7 last season. With both players now moving on to the next chapter, that coveted number-and several others-are once again up for grabs.
The Texas A&M football social media team recently unveiled the first wave of these exciting number changes, offering fans a sneak peek into the upcoming season. These updates not only highlight the players stepping into more prominent roles but also give us a glimpse of who’s ready to leave their mark on the program.
Here are the official changes announced so far:
- Dalton Brooks, a standout safety, is making the switch from No. 25 to the iconic No. 7.
- Ashton Bethel-Roman, a dynamic wide receiver, will be trading in No. 3 for No.
- Terry Bussey, another talented wide receiver, is moving from No. 2 to No. 6.
As spring ball approaches, these number changes signify more than just a new look-they represent new beginnings and the promise of thrilling performances to come. Keep an eye on these players as they aim to make a significant impact this season.
