Texas A&M Football Wide Receiver Concern: Finding a leader

The wide receiver spot is a tricky one to pin down, as it’s hard to get a grip on how good this position group is. It’s clear that the talent is there — there will be three former five-star pass-catchers and too many four-stars to count. The real question that remains is whether or not they’ll be able to break out with a better quarterback under center.

Ainias Smith has been the team’s top wide receiver for the past two seasons but did not surpass 564 yards in either year. If the Aggies want an elite offense, they need somebody who can, at the very least, flirt with a 1,000-yard season.

Concern Level: Medium

Texas A&M Football Tight End Concern: Lack of experience

To be blunt, the tight end spot is the most worrisome position on this offense.

Jalen Wydermyer was the team’s primary tight end for the last three seasons. The likely first-round draft pick pulled in 1,468 yards and 16 touchdowns during that stretch of time — an output that may be hard to replicate.

To replace him, we could see a few different players. Incoming freshman Jake Johnson could benefit from having a connection with potential starting quarterback Max Johnson. Alongside him, there’s more than a handful of players who could fill the starting role like Baylor Cupp, Donovan Green, Eli Stowers, and Max Wright.

Concern Level: High
