Recent update shows Texas A&M's unbelievable roster transformation is tangible

Texas A&M's roster has undergone an undeniable transformation since Mike Elko— or, more specifically, Tommy Moffitt— arrived in College Station. The Aggies have gone from an empty cupboard of a roster to one that is replete with proven talent, not only from the high school ranks, but from the transfer portal as well.

It's that Moffitt effect that stands out most to fans, however. Where the Aggies had previously been a middle-of-the-road team in the SEC when it came to strength and conditioning, Moffitt's emergence on the scene marked a sea change in that regard, and now the Aggies look every bit of the part of an SEC power.

No matter how firmly that idea lodges in the fanbase's minds, though, it's always a shock— in a good way— to see that effect manifested in a tangible way in the weight gains and drops among different members of the class. Texas A&M's most updated roster shows exactly how drastic that effect has been even over the course of the summer.

• Jerome Myles: 220 → 230 (+10)
• KJ Edwards: 187 → 197 (+10)
• Coen Echols: 315 → 305 (−10)
• Ashton Bethel-Roman: 185 → 193 (+8)

• Tylan Wilson: 185 → 204 (+19)
• Tristian Givens: 215 → 232 (+17)
• Angelo McCullom: 300 → 317 (+17)

• Storm Miller: 215 → 229 (+14)

There are plenty of notable moves here, of course— some good, some interesting. You love to see guys like KJ Edwards, Tamarion Watkins, Jayden Warren, and Brandon Arrington putting on a few pounds as they adjust to a college S&C program coming out of high school— not to mention KK Johnson putting on 36 pounds— but there are also some really positive losses here as well. Coen Echols, Tyree Adams, and Mark Nabou cutting down on their weights is a positive to hopefully make them just that much more agile when moving opponents around up front.

Then, you have some that raise the eyebrows of fans. Will Mario Craver adding 15 pounds reduce the electric run-after-the-catch ability that we've seen him put on display time and time again? The coaching staff apparently doesn't think so, but it is worth monitoring going forward.

Kiotti Armstrong is an absolute unit at tight end, now standing at 6'6" and 285 LBs. It remains to be seen whether he has learned how to effectively leverage that size, but this is an encouraging step.

The ability that Moffitt has shown to help mold the players into the role that the coaching staff wants them, as well as instill a toughness in mentality among every last one of the players, should not be lost on the Aggie faithful. Hopefully, these gains will continue to affect the Aggies' team going forward.
