Texas A&M receives interesting record prediction ahead of the 2025 season
Texas A&M receives interesting record prediction ahead of the 2025 season
Texas A&M's 2025 football season will soon be under the spotlight this summer once "talking season" begins, ahead of the 2025 SEC Media Day on July 15-18 in Atlanta, Georgia. Second-year head coach Mike Elko and his staff landed 14 players from the transfer portal this offseason, led by wide receiver KC Concepcion, and four edge rushers who shore up the pass rush.
For those who cover the program, opinions vary, primarily based on starting quarterback Marcel Reed's progress as a pocket passer, as Conner Weigman's offseason transfer to Houston places the Tennessee native in the driver's seat. During the Maroon & White spring game, Reed's accuracy and touch on these throws looked above average, while his new wide receiver corps possesses more speed and separation that will help him out, especially in the short passing game.
Barring any setbacks, Reed's improvement combined with a veteran offensive line, a deep running back room, and a defense that should be much better in the secondary under new assistant Lyle Hemphill, the Aggies' tough schedule is the only thing standing in the way of a nine, or, hear me out, a ten win season.
With road games against Notre Dame, LSU, Missouri, Arkansas, and Texas, Texas A&M's offense must be balanced, while the defense can't allow explosive plays through the air. If this Aggies team can emulate the 2020 Orange Bowl Championship squad, earning a bid to the College Football Playoff isn't out of reach.
Plus, I'm not the only one who feels Texas A&M has a shot to make a run next season. CFBHourGlass writer Jake Wimberly released his 2025 SEC record predictions, believing that Texas A&M, LSU, and Georgia will finish 10-2 (!), while Texas and QB Arch Manning will end with a perfect 12-0 record.
While it isn't shown, I guess that Texas A&M's two losses will be at Texas and either on the road against Notre Dame or LSU, which makes more sense if the Aggies live up to their potential.
