## Resource

Texas A&M’s football program is exploding under Coach Mike Elko, who’s now leading them to their first College Football Playoff appearance ever—proving he can build a top-tier program with elite recruits and a relentless defense. Last season’s 11-1 record featured standout QB Marcel Reed and defensive terror Cashius Howell, who led the SEC with 11.5 sacks and earned All-American honors. The Aggies also shattered records with ten NFL draft picks—exactly as Elko predicted—and added seventeen transfers to replace over twenty departed players. Ranked 11th by Sporting News, Elko’s defensive genius is paying dividends, and with a rivalry showdown against Texas looming, the Aggies are poised for even greater things under his leadership.
