What they’re saying

“Knowing that more than a dozen players, starters/reserves, including 13 players invited to the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, adding veteran talent at nearly every position was crucial to avoiding a potential rebuild, and outside of landing another veteran running back, the Aggies look improved at multiple positions, especially in the secondary.”

What’s next

The Aggies will begin spring practices on March 20 and conclude the spring season with the Maroon & White Spring Game on April 18. The team will then turn its attention to the 2026 season, where they will look to build on their success from the previous year and potentially dethrone the Texas Longhorns, who have defeated Texas A&M in their last several matchups.

The takeaway

Texas A&M's Maroon & White Spring Game is an important event that allows the coaching staff to evaluate the team's roster and prepare for the upcoming season. With the Aggies coming off an 11-2 campaign and a College Football Playoff appearance, the spring game will be a crucial step in their quest to maintain their status as one of the top programs in the SEC.
