Texas A&M’s 2024 football season may be seven months away, but new head coach Mike Elko makes the media rounds whenever possible, helping preview what’s to come during his inaugural campaign.
On Wednesday, Elko, for the first time this year, sat down with TexAgs Radio host David Nuño and Billy Liucci to discuss his transition from Duke after two seasons as the Bluedevils’ head coach while discussing his recent staff hires, recruiting success and the 22 players acquired through the transfer portal this offseason.
Due to the current offseason success, Texas A&M has received a bit of preseason hype from ESPN’s “Way-Too-Early” 2024 Top 25, coming in at, yes, No. 25 due to the returning production led by quarterback Conner Weigman and senior defensive lineman Shemar Turner.
Elko’s past employment with the program, serving as the Aggie’s defensive coordinator from 2018-2021, has provided A&M fans a pathway toward realistic expectations from the jump, especially knowing that under Elko and new D-coordinator Jay Bateman, Texas A&M defense could be borderline elite in 2024.
In one of the better interviews you’ll hear this month, here is everything Mike Elko had to say in his interview with TexAgs radio.
