‘Best convention in the country,’ Aggies coach Mike Elko speaks to media at THSCA meetings

Unlike his predecessor Jimbo Fisher , Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko made it a priority to attend the Texas High School Coaches Association convention this week.

“This is a really cool event. We’ve talked a lot about how important the Texas High School Coaches Association is, how important our relationship is with that group. But also how we are as servants to the high school coaches in this state and the role that we play in kinda helping young coaches develop and aspiring coaches get better,” Elko explained Monday . “It’s an awesome opportunity to come out here, it’s one of the best conventions, if not the best convention in the country. It’s just a great opportunity for our staff to get out here and mingle with other staffs of colleges in the state and also with all the high school guys.

“We’re excited to be here and to do our part to brand football in this state and continue the great reputation of football in the state of Texas.”

The Aggies host Notre Dame at Kyle Field on Aug. 31 to begin the season.
