Projecting Texas A&M's post-spring 2026 offensive depth chart

Yahoo Sports

Four months before the 2026 season opener, here is how Texas A&M's 2026 offensive depth chart could look post-spring.

Texas A&M's 2026 offseason has officially begun with the conclusion of the spring season, and during the annual Maroon & White Game , third-year head coach Mike Elko and his staff were provided a final scrimmage for evaluation before the fall, and are well aware that the revamped roster is still a work in progress. While the return of starting quarterback Marcel Reed will continue to garner a bulk of the national attention the Aggies receive this summer, Alabama transfer senior wide receiver Isaiah Horton has already looked like an instant impact player, providing size, speed, and experience as an X receiver, and should replace the lost production of WR KC Concepcion, who was one of a record 10 players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. Losing 10 starters and key reserves to the NFL was expected from Elko, who predicted the historic weekend this time last year, and prepared for the departures as soon as the offseason began, especially on the defense.

After losing unanimous All-American edge Cashius Howell, the addition of Northwestern transfer Anto Saka has already looked like the perfect pass rush partner for ascending sophomore Marco Jones. Still, replacing four starters along the offensive line seems like a daunting task on paper, but after landing four proven SEC starters, combined with several former blue-chip prospects, Texas A&M's depth in the trenches should be able to weather most storms. Less than four months away from the 2026 season-opener vs.

Missouri State, here is part one of the post-spring depth chart prediction, starting with Texas A&M's offense. Quarterback Starter: Marcel Reed Backup: Brady Hart The bottom line, Texas A&M is in much better hands at the most important position with Marcel Reed returning for his second full season as the starter after throwing for a career-high 3,169 yards and 25 touchdowns last season. Feeling that sophomore Brady Hart, who served as the third-string option last season, has improved enough this spring, while looking impressive during his spring game snaps that included several memorable throws to Isaiah Horton and sophomore WR Ashton Bethel-Roman.

Running back Starter: Rueben Owens Backup: Jamarion Morrow This is a massive year for senior Rueben Owens, who rushed for a career high 639 yards and five touchdowns last season, while his past injury issues prevented the former five-star prospect from reaching his full potential earlier. Behind him, sophomore Jamarion Morrow looks like the best one-cut back after showing off his explosive second-level burst during the spring game. Depth-wise, redshirt freshman Tiger Riden could take over EJ Smith's 2025 role, while freshmen KJ Edwards and Carsyn Baker could see the field early in the year, but are likely a year away from earning extensive snaps barring injury.
