As we gear up for the 2025 football season, Aggies Wire is breaking down every player on the Texas A&M roster. Throughout the preseason, each profile will highlight a player’s background, recruiting rankings out of high school, and projected role under head coach Mike Elko.
Amari Niblack is one of three tight ends brought in to bolster a depleted TE room following offseason departures, whether from expired eligibility or the transfer portal. That left Theo Melin Ohrstrom as the lone returning scholarship tight end.
Niblack arrives with a veteran presence and elite athleticism, ideally suited for offensive coordinator Collin Klein’s system. Although he hasn’t fully lived up to early expectations, he has a prime opportunity to rewrite the narrative.
After three seasons, two at Alabama and one at Texas, Niblack has logged 26 receptions for 375 yards and five touchdowns.

The former four-star prospect Niblack was heralded as a two-way athlete but ultimately projected as a dynamic, pass-catching tight end. He lined up at both TE and WR in high school and delivered a monster senior season: 60 catches, 939 yards, and 10 touchdowns across 13 games.
Depth Chart Outlook
The tight end position remains one of mystery. With three transfers joining Ohrstrom, each brings a unique skill set to the room. Niblack, widely considered the most athletic of the group, may have a leg up in the competition, especially if his blocking improves. If he takes that step, the starting job could be his to lose.
