Texas A&M will kick off the 2026 college football season on Saturday, Sept. 5 against Missouri State in Kyle Field, and while the offseason has been relatively quiet for the Aggies, third-year coach Mike Elko made headlines during SEC Media Days after stating that, in order to keep his team motivated after making the College Football Playoff last season, Elko stated “I show them the trophy case and its empty,” which obviously made national headlines.Words are words, and how the Aggies perform on the field this fall is all that matters, and just days before Texas A&M’s preseason begins, Texas A&M released its updated measurables for all 121 players on the 2026 roster, and, at first glance, a long list of returnees and newcomers gained or lost weight, led by freshma linebacker Tamarion Watkins, who put on 27 pounds, now weighing 228 pounds after working with S&C coach Tommy Moffitt.Junior wide receiver Mario Craver, who weighed just 165 pounds last season, put on 15 pounds and will now play at 180, while senior center Mark Nabou gained 23 pounds to 307, and Alabama transfer tackle Wilkin Formby gained 25 pounds and will suit up at 320 this season.Two Aggie tight ends, freshman KK Johnson (262 pounds) and Kiotti Armstrong (285 pounds), look massive, which will provide an early edge for OC Holman Wiggins in 12 personnel.
