In just two weeks from now, Texas A&M and head coach Mike Elko will be preparing to kick off the 2024 season against Notre Dame on Saturday, August 31, as the 7th-ranked Fighting Irish will make their way to what could be a sold-out Kyle Field.

This week, the Aggies took the field for the final time before preparing for the 2024 season as the fall practice period can’t be called a success just yet, but progress has certainly been made on both sides of the ball.

Defensively, the biggest riser has consistently been junior defensive end Shemar Stewart, who, after gaining significant weight this offseason, is still looking lean and mean at 290 pounds, while his elite strength and athleticism make him a player to watch. Teaming up with former Purdue DE Nic Scourton and senior DL Shemar Turner, A&M’s pass rush looks borderline elite.

Offensively, redshirt sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman has improved as a passer, increasing the velocity on these throws, while his accuracy and touch remain top-notch.

Concerning who he will be throwing to, Texas A&M’s wide receiver rotation is skilled but relatively unproven. At the same time, several new tight end additions, including former Fresno State TE Tre Watson, whose blocking and receiving skills make him a perfect fit in new OC Collin Klien’s offensive scheme.

As the roster continues to take shape, here’s a quick recap video from this week’s practice. The video also shows sophomore wide receiver Micah Tease making a couple of big-time receptions this week.
