Highlights from Texas A&M Football’s first fall practice
Texas A&M’s 2024 season is underway. The Aggies hit the field on Wednesday night for their first fall training camp practice of the year, providing plenty of highlights that should have every fan excited for what’s to come this month.

Junior Bryce Anderson needs to play his ‘natural position’ to ‘eliminate those big plays’
Immediately after earning Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Defensive Freshman of the Year, Texas A&M junior Bryce Anderson nearly doubled his tackle total, going from 28 to 55. “All our receivers, those guys are good. Those guys are making me work everyday, day in, day out, they bring their A-game and vice versa. We’re just making each other better,” Anderson said Tuesday. “I feel like playing safety is my natural position. I don’t like to say that ‘safety is my main position,’ I feel like I like to be versatile. Safety is I feel my natural position I can play the fastest. I feel like I can have more command of the defense at safety. “I can be an eraser back there. I can eliminate those big plays that happened last year using my speed and athleticism. I’m just going to have to show y’all.” If Anderson can double his production so quickly from one year to another as an underclassman, imagine what he could do as an upperclassman, especially where he is the best fit.
