Spring football is upon us, as the 2024 college football season is just five months away. This month’s tune-up will provide a glimpse into what’s to come for Texas A&M and new head coach Mike Elko.

While O’Neil’s potential is enormous, consider the 2024 season a learning year with a potential redshirt opportunity awaiting.
