Texas A&M’s 2024 season ended differently than planned. Head coach Mike Elko’s inaugural campaign finished 8-4 and 5-3 in SEC play. While the season-ending loss to rival Texas stung the fan base after a 13-year wait, the future still looks very bright under Elko’s guidance.
Texas A&M will face USC in the Las Vegas Bowl on Dec. 27, but before the Aggies take on the Trojans, Elko, and his staff will focus on adding talent and experience from the transfer portal after 17 players from the 2024 roster entered over the last two weeks.
Looking back on the year, star running back Le’Veon Moss’s season-ending injury threw a wrench in the Aggies’ offensive game plan, leading to three consecutive SEC losses. A&M’s pass rush also failed to show consistency during the final stretch of conference play.
However, the quarterback carousel that eventually saw redshirt freshman Marcel Reed take over permanently had mixed results, partially due to OC Collin Klein’s play calling and Reed’s inconsistent passing performances.
On Tuesday, the official 2024 All-SEC Football Team was announced, comprised of the first, second, and third team selections, which saw five Texas A&M players selected for every team. Here is where each Aggie landed:
- First Team DL: DE Nic Scourton (37 tackles, five sacks, 34 pressures)
- Second Team RB: RB Le’Veon Moss (764 rushing yards, ten touchdowns)
- Second Team DB: CB Will Lee III (42 tackles, two interceptions, ten pass deflections)
- Third Team OL: LT Trey Zuhn III
- Third Team DL: DE Shemar Stewart (31 tackles, 1.5 sacks)
Texas A&M will face USC in the Las Vegas Bowl on Friday, Dec. 27, at 9:30 p.m. CT. The game will air on ESPN.
