Texas A&M’s spring season will come to an end on Saturday afternoon, as the annual Maroon & White spring game will wrap up what has been a successful precursor to head coach Mike Elko’s inaugural 2024 season.
However, while this game provides a glimpse of what’s to come during fall camp and the strides the roster has made in just two months under the new regime, several notable players will not appear this afternoon.
Just half an hour before both teams took the field, it was released that over 20 players, including several presumed 2024 starters, will not appear in the spring game due to injury or basic precaution, and thanks to GigEm247’s Carter Karels, here is the complete list of the players who will sit out on Saturday.
These players are not dressed out for the Maroon and White Game: Dezz Ricks, Trey Jones, Tre Watson, Garrett Miller, Donovan Green, Izaiah Williams, Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy, Enai White, Shemar Turner, Rylan Kennedy, Kendall Jackson, Aki Ogunbiyi, Kam Dewberry and Tyreek Chappell.

Out of that list, former five-star cornerback Dezz Ricks and returning tight end Donovan Green’s absence is notable. Still, if they need added rest and recovery ahead of arduous months ahead, this is more than warranted.
