Texas A&M’s 2024 season will be the first for new head coach Mike Elko. He has already had a very productive offseason after landing nearly 30 players from the transfer portal, and his recruiting success with the 2025 cycle speaks for itself. In what we in the media call “talking season,” Elko has continued to make the rounds to the various A&M clubs this spring/summer.
