‘Accountability has really been a big change,’ Trey Zuhn praises Elko effect at Texas A&M

“We had a system where we were grouped into teams and if you missed or were late to something, it would be a ding for your team,” he said.

This past week at SEC media days in Dallas, Texas A&M junior offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III praised the impact of head coach Mike Elko and his staff during their brief stint in College Station thus far.

“For this season, the accountability has really been a big change for us. For this whole past semester, we had many different programs to make sure people were held accountable. People were where they needed to be and did what they needed to do,” Zuhn explained. “We had a system where we were grouped into teams and if you missed or were late to something, it would be a ding for your team. If you had the most amount of dings at the end of the week, you had an extra workout that was kind of a punishment workout.

“It was a way to get people motivated to hold each other and themselves accountable.”

After starting all 13 games at left tackle last year, Zuhn was a recipient of the Offensive Trenches Award.
