Freshman wide receiver continues to impress the Texas A&M coaching staff this summer
Texas A&M's 2025 wide receiver rotation now features KC Concepcion (NC State) and Mario Craver (Mississippi State), while the return of Terry Bussey, Ashton Bethel-Roman, and Izaiah Williams should help starting quarterback Marcel Reed in the passing game due to the added speed, quickness, and ability to separate in coverage.
On Wednesday, during the Aggies' first preseason practice, one of the program's underrated 2025 signees, wide receiver TK Norman, impressed during his first showing, displaying the quickness and fluid route running many of us expected from the Montgomery, Alabama native during his rise in the recruiting rankings after his senior season at Carver HS.
During his senior season, Norman reeled in 31 receptions, 629 yards, and six touchdowns, and averaged over 20 yards per reception. According to most recruiting outlets, Norman was considered a three-star prospect outside of 247Sports, where he finished as a four-star recruit. Still, it's been confusing why he was ranked so low, but that doesn't matter now, as it's his time to shine during his first collegiate season.
Earlier this summer, Mike Elko discussed Norman's growth, including adding a reported 20 pounds while working with S&C coach Tommy Moffitt, which has not hindered his speed or quickness.
"Really excited about him. And then you just even go down to like some young kids. I was talking to TK Norman the other day. Like, TK Norman has put on 20 pounds and all kinds of muscle. That's 20-pound body weight since he got here. He showed up at 165. He's 185 right now."
Norman will be working towards a spot in the 2025 rotation, as KC Concepcion, Mario Craver, Terry Bussey, and either Ashton Bethel-Roman or Izaiah Williams are expected to earn the first four spots, but if Norman continues to impress the staff during the preseason, don't be surprised if he sees the field as soon as the 2025 season opener vs. UTSA.
