Texas A&M Football is back! Kind of, as spring practices are set to begin this week and continue until late April, culminating with the annual Maroon & White spring game on Saturday, April 20. On Thursday, head coach Mike Elko took the podium to provide some clarity regarding how the roster will look this spring, including what to expect structurally.
