Texas A&M HC Mike Elko praises OL Ar’maj Reed-Adams’ ‘positive energy’

Texas A&M’s 2025 spring season will end after Saturday’s annual Maroon & White spring game. The Aggies will enter the summer focused on preparing for fall camp, and the 2025 season will kick off against UTSA in Kyle Field on Saturday, August 30.
