Texas A&M (0-0) is set to kick off their 2023 football season against the New Mexico Lobos on Saturday, Sept. 2, inside what should be a packed and raucous Kyle Field.
On Monday, head coach Jimbo Fisher took the podium to answer many questions regarding the team’s preparation before the weekend’s festivities while providing a brief update on the Aggies injury front post-fall camp.
During fall camp, sophomore tight end Donovan Green suffered a torn ACL and will miss the entirety of the 2023 season. Still, he has already undergone a successful surgery and is on track to be ready for the 2024 season. Still, outside of Green’s terrible misfortune, Texas A&M’s roster is in the best shape it’s been at this time of the season for the first time in several years.
As I stated on Monday, we will not know the official status of starting center Bryce Foster until an hour or two before game time, as the Aggies game day depth chart will likely not be released until then, a normality during Fisher’s tenure.
Staying in a similar lane, starting right tackle Reuben Fatheree II will likely miss the opener as he works his way back from a minor injury suffered in the spring, as standout freshman offensive lineman Chase Bisontis is slated to start in his place, while left tackle Trey Zuhn is as healthy as he’s ever been in his Aggie career heading into the opener.
For Head Coach Danny Gonzalez’s Lobo squad, redshirt sophomore tight end Trace Bruckler is back from his injury-riddled 2022 season and is poised for a productive year.
