Five observations from A&M's bowl depth chart: Aggies could bring back huge number of starters

As Robert Behrens points out, the Aggies could be eligible to bring back a bunch of players for 2025. Roster continuity is a big deal in the era of the portal, and so having an experienced group who's used to playing together should not be underrated.

This is most notable on the defense, where all but BJ Mayes could return next year. This is obviously already reflecting the loss of Scourton, Stewart, and Turner, but Howell, Hicks, Regis, and Kennedy all saw a fair amount of action this year anyway.

Experience comes at a premium nowadays, and so this is something that could be absolutely massive for the Aggies. Here's hoping they bring back a strong group in 2025.
