Texas A&M Football 2024 Depth Chart Prediction: Offense
The Texas A&M Aggies are only a week away from beginning the on-field portion of the Mike Elko era, one that the 12th Man is hoping will end in some form of hardware coming back to College Station.
The Aggies got a touch of confidence boost earlier the past week, being ranked No. 20 in both the AP Poll and also the Coaches Poll.
The Aggies lost many players in the draft this year, but the spots have been filled accordingly and the Aggie offense is still ready to produce, especially now that redshirted quarterback Conner Weigman is back on the team. Weigman was enjoying a Heisman-esque season in 2023 before a lower-body injury against Auburn in week four brought his season to a screeching halt.
So, who exactly will line up with Weigman in one week when the Aggies open up the season in prime time against Notre Dame?
Here is how Texas A&M Aggies on SI believes Mike Elko and Collin Klein’s offense will shape up Saturday night:
Quarterback
1. Conner Weigman
2. Marcel Reed
3. Jaylen Henderson
It should come as a surprise to nobody that Conner Weigman will be leading the charge against the Fighting Irish. The Aggies will hope he can stay healthy at least until the season closer versus Texas and avoid the quarterback room becoming an emergency room like it was last year. Marcel Reed put on an impressive performance in the Texas Bowl against Oklahoma State after Jaylen Henderson was injured on the first offensive play of the game for the Ags. Granted, with all of this, the Aggies finished with a winning record still, and they will look to improve on their 4-4 SEC record from last year.
Running Back
1. Le’Veon Moss
2. Amari Daniels
3. E.J. Smith
Rueben Owens was all set for his sophomore season in Maroon and White before a lower leg injury a couple weeks ago ended his season prematurely. Moss and Daniels, however, were quite the tandem out of the Aggie backfield last season, combining for 1,016 yards and nine rushing scores. E.J. Smith, a redshirted transfer from Stanford and son of Hall of Fame halfback Emmitt Smith, is sure to see some carries as well in Owens’ absence. The Aggies should be set in the running game this season.
Wide Receiver
WR – X
1. Jahdae Walker
2. Terry Bussey
3. Jacob Bostick
WR – Slot
1. Moose Muhammad III
2. Micah Tease
3. Ernest Campbell
WR – Z
1. Noah Thomas
2. Cyrus Allen
3. Izaiah Williams
Even with Evan Stewart transferring to Oregon and Ainias Smith finding his professional home with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Aggie receiving corps is filled with experience and talent. Walker led the returning receivers with 590 receiving yards, and Thomas had five receiving scores, which was the most on the team of anybody. Terry Bussey has the potential to play a role for Texas A&M that Travis Hunter does for the Colorado Buffaloes. Moose Muhammad, son of former Panthers WR Muhsin Muhammad, has route running and open field play that is unmatchable. Surely, we all remember his astonishing one-handed grab and subsequent hurdle against Abilene Christian. It was a sight to see then, and don’t be surprised if Moose breaks it out again this season.
Tight End
1. Tre Watson
2. Donovan Green
3. Shane Calhoun
The Aggies added a player with some championship game experience this past offseason in tight end Tre Watson, who was with the Washington Huskies in their runner-up performance to the Michigan Wolverines in this year’s national championship game. Watson has gone on record saying, “It didn’t feel good being on the losing side of it,” so he is sure to go through this season with fire in his eyes. Donovan Green makes his return to the team after missing all of last year with a torn ACL and transfer Shane Calhoun further adds to the depth of trustworthy tight ends.
Offensive Line
Left Tackle
1. Trey Zuhn III
2. Dametrious Crownover
3. Blake Ivy
Left Guard
1. Chase Bisontis
2. Aki Ogunbiyi
3. Ashton Funk
Center
1. Kolinu’u Faaiu
2. TJ Shanahan
Right Guard
1. Mark Nabou Jr.
2. Kam Dewberry
3. Isendre Ahfua
Right Tackle
1. Ar’maj Reed-Adams
2. Reuben Fatheree II
3. Hunter Erb
Conner Weigman’s protection even has some impressive depth, with A&M veterans such as Trey Zuhn III, Mark Nabou Jr., and the newly appointed “12th Man” Ar’maj Reed-Adams. The protection last year allowed the Aggie backfield to average 136.2 rushing yards per game, so expect that and even more with the depth at both the line and the backs.
AUSTIN, Texas (KBTX) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has notified the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) that two Texas residents were passengers on the MV Hondius, a ship that experienced an outbreak of hantavirus while traveling in the Atlantic Ocean. The passengers left the ship and returned to the United States before the outbreak was identified.
“Public health workers in Texas have reached the two individuals, and they report they are not experiencing any symptoms and did not have any contact with a sick person while aboard the ship. They have agreed to monitor themselves for symptoms with daily temperature checks and contact public health officials at any sign of a possible illness,” the agency said on Thursday in a statement.
DSHS will not release additional personal details about the passengers to protect their privacy.
“This is not the next COVID, but it is a serious infectious disease,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness at the World Health Organization. “Most people will never be exposed to this.”
More than two dozen people from at least 12 different countries left the ship without contact tracing nearly two weeks after the first passenger died on board.
Health authorities on at least four continents are now tracking down and in some cases monitoring the cruise passengers who disembarked on April 24, and trying to trace others who may have come into contact with them since then.
That includes two people in Georgia who are also being monitored, according to our affiliate WTOC.
Hantaviruses are usually spread through contact with wild rodent droppings or urine. The strain in the Hondius outbreak, Andes virus, can spread from person to person in limited circumstances. It typically requires close, prolonged contact with a person who is actively sick with the disease.
It is not known to spread through casual contact such as shaking hands or being in the same room for a few minutes. There have been no documented cases where a person without symptoms spread it to someone else.

PORTLAND (WGME) – A Portland woman who has been held in a Texas ICE facility for more than six months is reportedly set to be released by Friday.
That’s according to Maine Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, who traveled to the facility this week to demand that ICE release 19-year-old Olivia Andre.
Pingree says a federal district court judge ordered Andre to be released no later than Friday.
Andre and her family were arrested by ICE when they were seeking asylum in Canada.
DHS previously said Andre is in the United States illegally but didn’t explain why the rest of her family was released and she wasn’t.
Pingree called the conditions at the facility inhumane, and Andre’s lawyer says her physical and mental wellbeing deteriorated from not having access to clean drinking water, palatable food and appropriate medical care.
“Olivia and her family should never have been detained. The federal court ordered her release because the Trump administration had no lawful basis for detaining her,” Pingree said. “She suffered in detention for six months in violation of federal law and the U.S. Constitution’s protections.”
