3. Young Playmakers

Aggie fans are very excited about the young talent that fills our roster. These freshman and sophomores have accounted for a significant amount of the team’s positive results this season.

When thinking about these playmakers, Christian Kirk is the most obvious that comes to mind. Since his debut last year, Kirk has been responsible for 19 touchdowns and over 2,000 total yards. Five of his touchdowns and over 600 yards came from punt returns. Everyone in the college football world knows that Kirk is a dangerous weapon when the ball is in his hands.

There’s also true freshman Trayveon Williams that we tend to think about. In his freshman year, so far, Trayveon has managed to rush for just under 1,000 yards (averaging 7.0 yards/play) and seven touchdowns. With Williams being such a young athlete, Aggie fans can expect a LOT more from this young man over the course of his career. Some are even crossing their fingers, hoping for another Heisman Trophy to be brought to College Station.
