Ending the season on a down note was not in the cards for Texas A&M, but with the last game of the year, they were a win away from playing in their first year under Mike Elko. That means something for the first-year head coach when making his case to his players and recruits about what’s being built in Aggieland.
One key is to have leaders on the team who know the systems and can help be coaches on the field. During his Early Signing Day press conference, he confirmed that starting linebacker Scooby Williams will be returning to Texas A&M for the 2025 season.
“It’s nice to be able to focus on roster retention, what the roster looks like and decisions you have to make to build the best roster for next year.”
Williams finished the year with 43 tackles, 7.5 TFLs, and 1 interception plus earning Texas Star of the Week after his game against Mississippi State. A familiar face that can help guide the newcomers is key and Williams will fit that role perfect.
Mike Elko noted Scooby Williams is returning as well as Will Lee III. Elko’s message is to come back for another year, trust the process and you’ll get drafted higher next year #GigEm pic.twitter.com/muTnqmws4H
