2025 5-star OL Lamont Rogers signs with Texas A&M

The Aggies haul in big-time two-sport star OL Lamont Rogers flipping him from Missouri

Everything is bigger in the Lone Star State and the Texas A&M offensive line just got bigger. O-line Adam Cushing’s persistence paid off they were able to flip 5-star OL Lamont Rogers out of Mesquite, TX.

The mountain of a high schooler de-committed from Missouri briefly re-opening his recruitment. It didn’t take long as a few days later he announced his intent to sign with the Aggies and did just that on early signing day. With how improved the A&M OL looked this year compared to the last few it no doubt caught the eye of Rogers.

The multi-sport athlete also excelled on the basketball court where his 6’6″ and 330lb frame helped him dominate around the rim. He is 247Sports No. 5 OT in the class with an NFL build that also showed off his athletic ability serving as goalie for his high school soccer team. The sky is the limit for Rogers and A&M will get him there.

Congratulations to Rogers on signing with Texas A&M and we look forward to watching him join the Maroon Goons at Kyle Field.

Look: The Texas A&M football team arrives at Kyle Field ready to play

View some of the best photos from the Texas A&M football team arriving at Kyle Field

The time is here, and a decade’s worth of trash-talking will be settled on the field Saturday night. No. 20 Texas A&M will battle No. 3 Texas for the spot opposite Georgia in the SEC championship game.

Everyone in Kyle Field in the surrounding area better have their earplugs ready because the volume is going to be turned up to the max. With a title shot on the line, the Aggies and Longhorns will renew their rivalry that spans over 130 years, 118 meetings, and 3 conferences in front of what should be a record crowd.

A&M is a heavy underdog, but we all know when it comes to rivalries everything can be thrown out the window no matter what the analyst may say leading up to the game. The Lone Star Showdown is back, and college football will be a better place because of it.

Below are some of the best photos from the Aggies arrival to the stadium:

Texas A&M star DE named as a Lombardi Award Semifinalist

Star Texas A&M DL Nic Scourton named as a Lombardi Award Semifinalist

When he joined Texas A&M, Nic Scourton wanted to prove that he was one of the best defensive linemen in the country and compete in the top college football conference.

The hometown native is the team leader in sacks (5) while becoming a leader on that side of the ball. No matter where the Aggies land as a team during the season, Scourton will likely finish the year as an All-SEC selection and an early NFL draft pick. On Thursday, he was named as a Lombardi Award Semifinalist.

This prestigious accolade continues to honor the Outstanding College Football Lineman, whether on offense or defense, who displays exceptional performance and ability and embodies the character and discipline that Vince Lombardi championed throughout his life.

The experts weigh in on the Texas A&M vs South Carolina matchup in Week 10

No. 10 Texas A&M is a narrow favorite over South Carolina and the experts are split on who will come out victorius

No. 10 Texas A&M is on upset alert this weekend when the Aggies travel to Columbia (SC) to take on a tough South Carolina team. A&M will enter Williams-Brice Stadium 5-0 in the SEC, an excellent chance to create more distance in the standings.

Coach Mike Elko has the Aggies in a position they have not been in for a long time, and that’s in line to play for a conference championship. If they can withstand this heavyweight fight, they will have a bye week to heal and refocus to close the season with a bang.

South Carolina has one of the better defenses in the conference and has played up to the competition all season long. Only a few turnovers away from possibly being a six-win team already, they also had a big win, blowing out Oklahoma 35-0 for their second conference win.

Here is who the experts are picking to come out victorious in this week’s matchup:

Rece Davis / College Game Day Host

Joe Klatt /The Joe Klatt Show

Eddie Timanus / USA Today

Shehan Jeyarajah / CBS Sports

Dennis Dodd / CBS Sports

Texas A&M will travel to South Carolina on Saturday, Nov. 2, at 6:30 pm. CT. The game will air on ABC/ESPN +.

Texas A&M LB Scooby Williams named Texas Star of the Week

Aggie linebacker Scooby Williams earn the Texas Star of the Week after an outstanding game against Mississippi State.

One of the storylines from the Texas A&M offseason was about who would start next to the team’s first-year defensive captain, sophomore linebacker Taurean York, on Saturdays. There was a lot of competition for that spot, and over the last few weeks, Scooby Williams has emerged as a productive complement to York.

The Florida transfer is currently fourth on the team in tackles (26) and leads the linebacker group with TFLs (4.5) while splitting time with sophomore backer Daymion Sanford. With his familiarity with Jay Bateman’s defense, most of the players feel stable on the field in a new system.

On Saturday against Mississippi State, Williams had one of his better games of the season. He had six tackles, two TFLs, one PBU, and one interception. This earned him the East-West Shrine Bowl’s “Texas Star of the Week.” You can see the acknowledgment below.

Shemar Turner and Nic Scourton make the Lombardi Award Mid-season Watchlist

Shemar Turner and Nic Scourton make the Lombardi Award Mid-season Watchlist

The Texas A&M defensive line has improved as the season has progressed. A few weeks back, it was a little concerning due to the lack of sacks and trouble stopping the run. Since then, the pass rush and run defense have been two of the best-performing aspects on the team.

Fast-forward to Texas A&M’s Week 8 road trip against Mississippi State, the Aggie defense looks like an All-SEC squad that is very good two deep on the roster. They are led by the trio of Nic Scourton, Shemar Turner, and Shemar Stewart, with Scourton and Turner being named to the Lombardi Award Watchlist.

This prestigious accolade continues to honor the Outstanding College Football Lineman, whether on offense or defense, who displays exceptional performance and ability and embodies the character and discipline that Vince Lombardi championed throughout his life.

We wish both players a healthy and productive remainder of the season.

Texas A&M will face Mississippi State on the road on Saturday, Oct. 19, at 3:15 p.m. CT. The game will air on the SEC Network.

Texas A&M CB Will Lee III named Texas Star of the Week

Texas A&M DB Will “The Blanket” Lee lived up to his nickname last weekend and earned Texas Star of the Week

After some pre-game theatrics that no one has claimed, Texas A&M defensive back Will Lee III was thrust into the spotlight on Saturday morning against Missouri.

A blank and pleasant message was left in the hotel room of Missouri wide receiver Theo Wease who then posted it on his Instagram story. That prompted him to then wear the blanket around the stadium in defiance and showing he was ready for the battle.

Insert Kansas State transfer Will “The Blanket” Lee who proceeded to have a shutdown day helping hold the Tigers to only one touchdown that came on a broken play. Lee had 43 coverage snaps and allowed zero catches with one pass breakup. As a team, they only allowed 186 yards and Lee’s performance earned him the East-West Shrine Bowl Texas Star of the Week acknowledgement.

Watch former Texas A&M CB Jaylon Jones notch his first career NFL interceptions

Texas A&M cornerback Jaylon Jones doubles up on interceptions snatching two against the Chicago Bears on Sunday morning

When Texas A&M defensive back Jaylon Jones entered the NFL draft in 2023, there were a few concerns about whether he should’ve stayed for one more year. However, he decided to bet on himself and was eventually picked in the seventh round by the Indianapolis Colts.

The No. 221 overall pick earned playing time last season and has been leaned on this season. Until this point, while a solid contributor, he hasn’t got an interception in his professional career. On Sunday, he had one of the better games of his short time in the league, with two interceptions and five tackles.

His timely picks helped secure the Colts’ first win of the season in a 21-16 win over the Chicago Bears. Below, you can watch both interceptions from the game. Jones’ size, length, and growing defensive instincts have quickly made him an absolute steal for the Colts.

Photos from the 26-20 Texas A&M Aggies win over the Bowling Green Falcons

View some of the best photos from the Texas A&M victory over the Bowling Green Falcons in Bryan-College Station

Texas A&M was in a nail-biter for most of the night as the Aggies could not pull away from Bowling Green at any time during the game.

Usually, after a big road win against a conference opponent, there is a tendency to come into the following week with less urgency when the game is a non-conference matchup. I don’t think that’s what happened here, as it looked like it had more to do with a well-coached team in Bowling Green that had a great game plan for a team still trying to establish their identity.

Even with that being said Coach Elko will have plenty of game film to work with as they iron out all the kinks before heading to Arlington to take on Arkansas in Jerry’s world next weekend.

Below you can see some of the best images from the win on Saturday.

Watch Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed throw his first touchdown vs. Bowling Green

Texas A&M football gets off to a quick start with a 27-yard touchdown pass from Marcel Reed to Theo Melin Ohrstrom

Texas A&M football got off to a great start vs Bowling Green, marching down the field behind the arm of quarterback Marcel Reed, who is getting his first start at Kyle Field. After converting a 4 and 1 with a short pass to freshman Terry Bussey, the Aggies had a fresh set of downs from the Bowling Green 27-yard line.

Then, in what might be a connection brewing, Reed hit ascending tight end Theo Melin Ohrstrom, known as The Swede or Thor, for a touchdown over the defender for an opening drive touchdown. Ohrstrom collected his first touchdown this season last week from Reed similarly with a 29-yard touchdown in the 33-20 win over Florida.

It was a great start to grab an early lead, but Bowling Green is no pushover and has the ability to keep the game close. We look forward to more touchdowns between Reed and Ohrstrom.
