With the 2023 college football season just around the corner, Texas A&M continues to be hard at work in preparing for what should be an emphatic rebound season. Don’t believe us? Well, let them show you themselves.
The Maroon and White went through their 14th practice of fall camp on Thursday, splitting time between the new Coolidge Football Performance Center in the Graham athletic center while also opting for some triple-digit heat outside. Rain or shine, cool or hot, it doesn’t matter so long as the Aggies put in the work.
Their latest practice saw the defensive backs work on their coverage techniques, defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin leading the defensive line through some sledding drills, and the special teams get some work in as it pertains to kick returning duties. On the latter, it seems that the Aggies could have a true “pick your poison” decision with Ainias Smith, Le’Veon Moss, and Rueben Owens, among others, taking turns in kick return drills.
As the saying goes, “iron sharpens iron” as Texas A&M continues to refine its rotations and solidify its depth chart before the team’s regular season opener versus New Mexico on Saturday, Sep. 2. While plenty of decisions and personnel groupings could change before then, Thursday’s practice nonetheless offered a valuable glimpse into the coming season.
Here are the best highlights from Texas A&M’s 14th fall practice.
