2024 was a successful season for Texas A&M football, even though it didn’t come to the end that Mike Elko and company were certainly hoping for. After having a chance to reach the College Football Playoff, late losses to Auburn and Texas ended the Aggies’ national title hopes.
Still, it’s hard to take anything away form that campaign other than that Texas A&M is coming for the top of the SEC and should be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. They kept that momentum going on Tuesday with a big recruiting win over three of their chief rivals.
