Texas A&M’s tight end room is well-equipped going into the 2025 season. Coach Mike Elko has landed a commitment from former Nebraska TE Nate Boerkircher, who will enter his senior season after four seasons in Lincoln (NE).
Aggies fans might be concerned about the absence of defensive line additions from the portal, but Nate Boerkircher provides a nice boost as a blocker. At the same time, his size and athleticism can impact the short passing game and provide Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed with another passing target.
Under OC Collin Klein, Texas A&M’s running game will continue to be an emphasis, which requires a lot from the tight end rotation ranging from inline blocking to splitting out wide to enhance the quick passing game.
During his junior seasons, Boerkircher earned a 61 run-blocking grade and 65 pass-blocking grade per Pro Football Focus, which, as Gigem247’s Carter Karels noted, would have been the best scores for any TE on A&M’s 2024 roster.
Nate Boerkircher joins former Auburn TE Micah Riley, likely completing Texas A&M’s tight end rotation for the 2025 season.
