The Texas A&M baseball program has hired a former player who played 181 games as an Aggie and was bestowed with the honor of wearing the sacred No. 12 jersey.

According to TexAgs analyst Ryan Brauninger, Ryan Targac is returning to the team as an assistant in strength & conditioning under Jeremy McMillan once he finishes his degree.

Targac was chosen to be the 12th Man during his senior year in 2024.

“Being named No. 12 is such an honor to me,” Targac stated in January. “To be able to represent Texas A&M and what it stands for is such a privilege. I wouldn’t be in this position if it weren’t for God, my family, coaches and teammates. The work still continues though. I will continue to show up and be the best version of myself and to serve others.”

The versatile second baseman was selected to the All-SEC second team in 2022 and chosen for the 2023 preseason All-SEC second team.
