Latest video from Texas A&M football showcases Micah Tease making plays; Is he emerging as a starting option at wideout?

The social media team for Texas A&M football has taken their game to a whole different level this year. Ever since the change in regime, the videos that the Aggies have been putting out on twitter have taken on a new character—as you'd expect, of course. Not only that, though, but they've actually ascended quite a lot in quality.

Of course, with the long offseason, and these videos providing a peek into fall camp, fans have engaged in the over-analysis you might expect. Zaprudering every frame to see if we can get a hint of who's running with the ones, who's playing impressively, etc., speaks to just how starved college football fans are by the time the season is soon to start.

In that spirit, this recent video from the Texas A&M football socials intrigued me. Fans have been wondering and prognosticating all summer about who might be the players to emerge at wide receiver, given that two key members have departed, and we may just have gotten a hint.

You can see in the above video that true sophomore Micah Tease—now wearing no. 4 after spending his freshman campaign in no. 13—makes a pair of brilliant catches, both against very tight coverage.

Now, the reports out of camp so far have been that the offense is struggling to get going a little bit, but the defense is playing with their hair on fire. That's a combo, I think, of the skill of this unit—I think they can be one of the best in the conference and therefore the country—and the natural progression of things in camp.

The fact that you have a guy who can make these kinds of catches against tight coverage is extremely encouraging. We've seen Noah Thomas and Moose Muhammad play go-up-and-get-it ball at the receiver spot for the Aggies several times.

However, Tease's rep has been as an explosive slot-type of player. So, if he can also rise to the occasion in this way for the Aggies, the receiver spot could be much more of a strength than we previously imagined.
