Fear not, Aggies! Texas A&M’s 2023 college football season is just 50 days away. You don’t need me to tell you just how important the 2023 campaign is for the Maroon and White, as Head Coach Jimbo Fisher’s warm yet slightly hot seat may balloon into a full-flamed disaster if a rebound from the disastrous 5-7 season doesn’t come to fruition.
As we at Aggies Wire continue to provide as much context as possible regarding Texas A&M’s roster from a depth and talent perspective this summer, let me advise that preseason-hype superstitions are, yes, what makes college football fandom a joy to observe, but focusing on rival comments such as “but Appalachian State” or “5-7!” aren’t worth your time, folks.
With 16 starters returning on both sides of the ball, which leads the SEC in returning production, sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman, who threw for 896 yards and eight touchdowns without an interception for a 132.3 passer rating in five games during the latter half of the 2022 season, is poised to take the next step in his development under play-calling savant and QB guru Bobby Petrino, who’s entering his first season as the program’s new offensive coordinator.
Defensively, senior safety Demani Richardson and senior defensive tackle McKinnley Jackson will look to lead two of the deepest groups in the country, while several transfer portal additions, including cornerbacks Tony Grimes, Sam McCall, and Josh DeBerry, bring much-needed experience to the secondary.
Now, for the new hype video from Texas A&M’s navy social media team! Enjoy, and Gig ’em!
