Where does Texas A&M’s O-line returning production rank within the SEC?

The play in the trenches will define Texas A&M’s 2025 season, as coach Mike Elko and O-line coach Adam Cushing have emphasized the offensive line on the recruiting trail, landing six commitments in the 2025 class, led by five-star offensive tackle Lamont Rogers and rising guard Nelson McGuire.

Last season, Cushing’s influence was seen throughout the year, as all five starters and several reserves improved in pass protection, while the Aggies’ run-blocking took the next step, with OC Collin Klein’s heavy run scheme taking shape. This offseason, it was announced that all five starters who started the 2024 season would return in 2025, including center Mark Nabou, who suffered a season-ending lower-body injury late early in the year.
