Mike Elko led Texas A&M to its first 11-0 start since 1992 last season, while also having 10 players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. He has shifted the tides in College Station by establishing a culture focused on physicality, grit and determination to succeed.

Entering his third season leading the Aggies, he notched the No. 4 transfer portal class and No. 7 recruiting class. Former Alabama wide receiver Isaiah Horton is one transfer, in particular, who has gained much traction for his potential in the Texas A&M offense.

With new offensive and defensive coordinators leading their respective units, it will be intriguing to see how Texas A&M's stars align with the new tweaks to the system. Still, the Aggies' roster has much upside that could lead them to another successful year in College Station.
