Texas A&M OL Chase Bisontis’s position change has been announced

With the 2024 season inching closer, Texas A&M’s season opener vs. Notre Dame will pose as the primetime event on Saturday, August 31. This will also serve as Mike Elko’s inaugural matchup as the program’s newest head coach, who will begin fall practice with the team on Wednesday afternoon.

On Tuesday, Elko took questions from the local media in College Station to officially open the fall practice schedule. Thanks to the journalists in the room, the former Duke head coach provided key updates regarding nearly every position group, including Chase Bisontis’s new position across the offensive line.

While the center position battle is reportedly ongoing, Elko stated, in a semi-passionate fashion, that Bisontis has officially moved to guard and has reportedly been working at guard since Elko took over the program back in November.

“Chase (Bisontis) has been a guard all the way. He has never left guard. We feel that’s the right spot for him.”

“He has been a guard since day one with us.”

Standing at 6’6″ and 320 pounds, Bisontis was recently seen squatting 605 pounds for three reps, exhibiting the same elite strength that made him the No. 1-ranked 2023 prospect in New Jersey.

This move is a no-brainer with right tackle Reuben Fatheree II returning to the lineup, as Bisontis’s size and athleticism will make him an instant asset in the running game.
