The SEC will reportedly implement a 9 game conference schedule, starting in 2026
What was once a rumor has become reality, as Tuesday's breaking news revealed that the SEC will implement a nine-game conference schedule, which will begin during the 2026 season. Again, this was seemingly always in the works, knowing the obvious financial benefits for all 16 conference teams, while making the first two games of the season even more important regarding the College Football Playoff. To start, the SEC will remain divisionless, while each program will now have three permanent rivalries that it will face each season. Furthermore, nine conference games mean each SEC team will face one another at least once every two years, at home and away every four years. Outside of the conference, SEC teams will now be required to schedule one team from the Big 12, Big Ten, or Texas A&M's Week 3 opponent, Notre Dame, every season. This change only enhances the early-season competitiveness, providing the top-tier SEC teams an opportunity to schedule a top program out of three of the four Power conferences, or the Fighting Irish, to beef up their CFP resume. Texas A&M's current three permanent opponents are Texas, LSU, and Missouri, but with an extra conference game, the Aggies will now face Georgia for the first time since the 2019 season, and Kentucky in Lexington for the first time in program history. However, Texas A&M's new permanent opponents will change, and right now, I'll guess that Texas, LSU, and either Arkansas or South Carolina will be the top options, with the Longhorns and Tigers being the undeniable leaders. Looking ahead to the 2026 season, here are Texas A&M's three nonconference games currently scheduled: Sept. 5: Missouri State (1st year in FBS)Sept. 12: Arizona StateNov. 21: Tarleton State (FCS) Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes and opinions.

Texas A&M senior OL earns spot on 2025 Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Watch List
Even with a more challenging schedule than in 2024, many fans and media members believe Texas A&M will field a much-improved team. A key factor will be how well the offensive line performs throughout the season. One player head coach Mike Elko will be counting on for leadership is 2025 team captain and starting tackle Trey Zuhn III. Following his 2024 All-SEC selection and 2025 Preseason All-SEC honors, Zuhn has been named to the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Preseason Watch List. Zuhn is one of 102 players across nine conferences selected for the 13th annual presentation of the award, which will be announced in December. The banquet will be held on January 21, 2026, in Tyler, Texas. Entering his senior season, the Colorado native is considered one of the top players at his position. At the same time, his versatility has been utilized during the preseason after it was reported that coach Mike Elko and O-line coach Adam Cushing have worked Zuhn out at center, as he is likely seen as a guard in the NFL. The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award recognizes the top offensive player in Division I football who also exhibits the enduring characteristics that define Earl Campbell: integrity, performance, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community and tenacity; specifically, tenacity to persist and determination to overcome adversity and injury in pursuit of reaching goals. In addition, the nominee must meet one or more of the following criteria: Played football at and graduated from a Texas High School and/or currently playing at Texas D1 four-year college Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes, and opinions.

'Huge breakout candidate': ESPN analyst is very high on Texas A&M Edge
Texas A&M's 2025 pass rush will be led by senior edge Cashius Howell, who is finally receiving the coverage he deserves after his impressive performance during the final weeks of the 2024 season. This summer, the former Bowling Green transfer has put more muscle on his 6'2" frame, now weighing a lean 248 pounds with an eye on leading the Aggies in sacks and pressures during his final collegiate season. In the early parts of the offseason, Howell was not considered a top-tier NFL draft prospect, but that changed on Tuesday after ESPN draft/college football analyst Jordan Reid included Howell among six non-quarterback prospects he considers as potential "breakout" candidates. Last season, Howell played behind Shemar Stewart, who the Cincinnati Bengals selected in the first round of this year's draft, and outside of his early contract dilemma with the franchise, the former five-star prospect has reportedly looked the part in practice. However, Howell, who finished the 2024 season with 40 tackles and four sacks, shone against the Texas Longhorns (six tackles) and USC in the Las Vegas Bowl, recording five tackles, a sack, and one of the coolest interceptions of the year. "Remember the name. You won't find his name on many preseason watchlists. Waited his turn behind Scourton and Stewart. Turn on the USC tape. Explosive, natural pass rusher, effective spin move. Huge breakout candidate." Howell's elite athleticism provides coach Mike Elko, who will call defensive plays this season, the chance to move him around, especially when utilizing twists & stunts. At the same time, Howell has already proven his ability to wreak havoc one-on-one as a stand-up pass rusher. Earlier this month, Howell was asked about his lack of media attention, stating that none of this is new, going back to his high school recruitment. 'You're talking to a guy who was once rated 2,000th best player in my class. I'm used to not getting picked and overlooked so it just adds fuel to the fire for me.' Howell has put in the work this offseason, and combined with his work ethic, the expectation from the fan base, and those of us who cover the program, expect big things from the senior edge.
