Texas A&M’s fall practice period is coming to an end, as head coach Mike Elko and his staff are currently hosting the team’s 14th practice on Saturday afternoon, as the season opener vs. Notre Dame is exactly two weeks away with plenty of hype.
While progress has been made this month, several players on offense and defense have consistently stood out, including starting quarterback Conner Weigman, junior defensive end Shemar Stewart, and most surprisingly, sophomore wide receiver Micah Tease, who only recorded 19 yards on two receptions during his 2023 freshman season.
With new OC Collin Klein now running the offense, the departure of speedy WR Evan Stewart, who transferred to Oregon this offseason, has left many of us wondering which receiver on the roster can match Stewart’s top-end speed to put pressure on the secondary.
So far this month, Tease has been paired with former Louisiana Tech WR Cyrus Allen, who has stood out as a potential solution to the issue. He has already made several big-time receptions, run fluid routes, and consistently shown off the deep speed that made him a Top 150-ranked recruit in the 2023 cycle, receiving offers from numerous blue-blood programs.

On paper, junior wide receivers Noah Thomas and Jhade Walker have likely secured starting spots, while fellow junior wideout Moose Muhammad III is battling with Cyrus Allen and Tease to fill out the rest of the rotation.
