Texas A&M’s 2024 starting WR rotation could include a newcomer from the transfer portal

It’s fall camp for Texas A&M and new head coach Mike Elko , who has every chance to succeed during his first year with the program after inheriting a talented and experienced roster led by redshirt sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman .

Defensively, Elko and new defensive coordinator Jay Bateman feel that this unit should be the team’s strength, especially due to the program’s loaded defensive line with the return of Shemar Turner and Shemar Stewart.

In contrast, former Purdue defensive end Nic Scourton has a chance to become an immediate game wrecker as the Bryan, Texas native has returned home.

However, the offense will continue to take center stage on a national scale, as any success this season will depend on Weigman’s ability to move the ball down the field in the passing game under new OC Collin Klein’s scheme, needing to rely on a wide receiver corps that is relatively inexperienced.

In the video, junior WR Noah Thomas and senior WR Jahdae Walker were joined by a different third receiver in first-team reps, as GigEm 247’s Carter Karels noted that former Louisiana Tech WR Cyrus Allen was listed as the third starter, as the versatile speedster is coming off his career-high 778 receiving yards and four touchdowns during his final season with the Bulldogs.

Texas A&M’s passing offense needs more reliable downfield production with explosive WR Evan Stewart , who transferred to Oregon early in the offseason; Allen could represent that piece to the puzzle and provide Weigman with another dependable option on third down.

If this is the case, the wide receiver unit’s depth suddenly becomes much deeper than previously anticipated, with senior Moose Muhammad potentially rotating in.
