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:

Here are the best photos from Texas A&M’s big home win over LSU

View some of the best photos from the Texas A&M victory over the LSU Tigers at a sold-out Kyle Field

Things are heating up after Texas A&M’s 38-23 win over LSU to remain the only SEC team unbeaten in conference play.  The Aggies have all the momentum right now and must remain focused to finish out the season strong.

LSU looked every bit like a top-ten team through about two and a half quarters, until quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was intercepted by Aggies’ CB BJ Mayes. That was followed byHead coach Mike Elko inserting QB Marcel Reed into the game who promptly scored a rushing touchdown to cut the lead to a one-score game. A&M showed a lot of grit on determination erasing a 10-point deficit and limiting LSU to only six points in the second half.

Anything can happen over the next few weeks but the schedule falls in A&M’s favor to play in an SEC title. It’s very conceivable that A&M will be 7-0 headed into the final regular season game against the Texas Longhorns. There will be plenty of time to speak on that game when the time comes. So, for now, we can enjoy some of the best photos from Texas A&M’s victory over the Tigers.

Here are the best photos from Texas A&M’s road win over Mississippi State

Texas A&M’s 34-24 win over Mississippi State had fans battling various emotions. It feels like this should have been a win by a larger margin than ten, and the Aggies didn’t look like a team that would make any noise in the college football playoffs.

However, this was another one of those checklist wins. In past years, this was one of those games A&M would lose, ultimately leading to an 8-win season. Even though the team did not play up to head coach Mike Elko’s standard, the Aggies still found a way to win and get some big stops when needed.

They have some things to clean up with LSU coming to Bryan College Station on Saturday. The offense has to find a way to be more consistent in the passing game, but for now, we will take some time to view the best photos from the Aggies’ 34-24 road victory over the Bulldogs.

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.

Photos from the 33-20 Texas A&M Aggies win over the Florida Gators

View some of the best photos from the Texas A&M victory of the Florida Gators in Gainsville, Florida

The Texas A&M football team went into the swamp and bagged a Gator in an impressive win behind the arm of redshirt freshman Marcel Reed. The 33-20 victory over Florida gives head coach Mike Elko his first SEC win and some good momentum as they head back to Bryan-College Station.

Not only was it Mike Elko’s first signature win as the head man in Aggieland, but it also broke an SEC road losing streak that dated back to the 2021 season. He made a simple comment that put a smile on all Aggies fan faces after the game.

“It’s now been zero days since we won an SEC road game. That’s a positive.”

They overcame an injury to starting quarterback, Conner Weigman, and a weather delay which they returned to a wet field with rain. Backup quarterback Marcel Reed looked extremely comfortable running the offense and helped lead the team to their second straight 300+ rushing yard game.

There was a lot to like and a lot to clean up from the game, however, it was a win that showed them moving in the right direction. Below you can see some of the best images from the win on Saturday.

Texas A&M offensive lineman TJ Shanahan suspended after arrest

Backup offensive lineman TJ Shanahan has been suspended immediately from the Texas A&M football team

Over the weekend, post the Texas A&M win over McNeese State, everyone wanted to do a little bit of celebrating. Unfortunately, for the football team, one of their reserve offensive linemen was arrested on a handful of charges

On Saturday redshirt freshman TJ Shanahan was hit with two charges when out at Bryan-College Station’s famous Northgate which is located across the campus. The 20-year-old was taken in by the police for failing to identify and a minor in possession of alcohol.

Head coach Mike Elko confirmed during his Monday press conference that Shanahan has been suspended

“We handled that internally, he was suspended immediately…Now it’s under internal review and we’ll kind of go from there on that one.”

As we receive more information, we’ll update you on his status with the charges.

Photos from the Texas A&M Aggies’ 52-10 win over the McNeese Cowboys

View some of the best photos from the Texas A&M victory of the McNeese Cowboys in Bryan-College Station

On Saturday afternoon, Texas A&M took Kyle Field for the second consecutive weekend, wanting to accomplish numerous things by the game’s conclusion. After the opening season loss to Notre Dame, some meat was left on the bone on the offensive side, and the defense needed to sure up the run fit.

However, the most important thing was to win and do it dominantly. Unlike in the NFL, style points matter in college, and the Aggies needed a good showing. In totality, the first team came to play by running up the score and stifling the McNeese offensive.

The second team understandably did not look as sharp, but eventually settling in, they gained valuable reps during the second half of the game. A 52-10 win at home is a good bounce-back from a loss and gives them some momentum heading into Gainsville, where they will take on the Florida Gators next weekend.

Below are some of the best photos from the Aggie victory on Saturday.

WATCH: Texas A&M football players answer who has the best fashion style on the team

The “Aggie Cam” has returned to the Aggies football team social media feeds and the first question at spring practice was a simple one.

The “Aggie Cam” has returned to the Texas A&M football team social media feeds and the first question at spring practice was a simple one: “Who has the best style on the team?”

The Aggies shared several names for their respective answers but one name kept coming up, Taurean York.

“I ain’t gonna lie… I’m gonna have to give it to York,” admitted junior offensive lineman Dametrious Crownover. “York come in every day with that fit on. I ain’t even gonna lie.”

The sensational sophomore linebacker is typically fitted from head to toe and his teammates have noticed.

“He’s in the training room, whole fit on, I’m like damn bro,” junior quarterback Jaylen Henderson joked. “We just eating breakfast bruh, chill out.”

With at least two more seasons in College Station to come, York is already a highly touted prospect.

“As far as the Dave Campbell award, it’s awesome because I saw myself rise through the rankings,” York reflected this week. “To see myself named No. 1 among all ages, not just the freshman class, is just God’s work.”

WR Josh Reynolds leaves fellow Aggies alumnus Dan Campbell for multi-year deal in AFC

Following 2-plus years with Detroit, Aggies alumnus Josh Reynolds is departing Dan Campbell’s squad for a multi-year deal with an AFC team.

Following two and a half seasons with the Detroit Lions, Texas A&M alumnus Josh Reynolds is departing fellow former Aggie Dan Campbell‘s squad for a multi-year deal with an AFC team.

According to a report from ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter, Reynolds has signed a two-year deal worth up to $14 million with the Denver Broncos.

“It’s awesome, man. My uncles are diehard Broncos fan. Even just saying that y’all were in the mix of things, they were ecstatic. For me to come out here, I hope to change stuff up,” Reynolds told Denver team reporter and producer Sydney Jones. “I’ve always been an admirer of coach Payton. Seeing him with the Saints for so long, I just love his creativeness, I know he’s going to put great people around the facility and I’m just looking forward to working with him. I’m hyped and ready for it.

“I’m on the smoother side but you got a playmaker for sure. Hopefully a guy to help win.”

Reynolds finished the 2023 regular season with 40 receptions for 608 yards and 5 touchdowns.

What will Texas A&M safeties room look like if junior Jacoby Mathews transfers in spring portal?

Mike Elko, Jay Bateman, Ishmael Aristide and Jordan Peterson are assessing what the Aggies safeties room will look like if Mathews departs.

Following the 2023 regular season, former Texas A&M junior safety Jardin Gilbert returned home and chose LSU in the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Now Gilbert’s presumed replacement at starting safety is potentially departing from College Station as well. Jacoby Mathews entered the spring transfer portal on Saturday afternoon.

While the incoming junior could still return, head coach Mike Elko, defensive coordinator Jay Bateman and co-defensive backs coaches Ishmael Aristide & Jordan Peterson are likely currently assessing what the Aggies safeties room will look like if Mathews does find a new home.

Gilbert is gone, Mathews is in the portal and incoming junior Jarred Kerr remains from the 2023 roster. Transfers include seniors Trey Jones from Central Michigan & De’Rickey Wright from Vanderbilt.

As a Texas A&M staff member texted Aggies Today on Saturday, “Don’t forget about (incoming sophomore) Dalton Brooks. He’s an all-conference player.”

According to TexAgs executive editor Billy Liucci on X, Mathews’ decision to enter the portal “had a lot more to do with no adjusting to heightened expectations inside the program in all areas.”
