About our Texas A&M Aggies Football news
Latest news on Texas A&M Aggies Football, covering SEC competition, recruiting, scores, fixtures, Kyle Field, and updates on the College Station team.
Texas A&M Aggies Football represents one of college football's most storied programmes, competing in the Southeastern Conference since 2012. The Aggies play their home matches at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, a fortress with a capacity of 102,733 that stands as the largest stadium in the SEC and fourth-largest in collegiate football. Head coach Mike Elko, who returned to Aggieland in his second season, has revitalised the programme with an impressive start.
Under Elko's leadership, the Aggies have experienced remarkable success, including their first 10-0 start since 1992 and a perfect 7-0 record in SEC play. The team secured a historic 31-30 comeback victory against South Carolina after trailing 30-3 at half-time, marking the largest comeback in programme history. Elko, who previously served as the Aggies' defensive coordinator from 2018-2021 before a successful stint at Duke, signed a new six-year contract extension through 2031.
The programme's rich tradition centres on the legendary 12th Man, born in 1922 when student E. King Gill stood ready to serve his team during the Dixie Classic. Today, approximately 36,000 students uphold this spirit by standing throughout every home match, creating one of college football's most intimidating atmospheres. The nation's largest student section sits behind the opposing team's bench, stretching from end zone to end zone across three levels.
Texas A&M claims three national championships and 18 conference titles throughout its history, which began in 1894. The programme has produced two Heisman Trophy winners: John David Crow in 1957 and Johnny Manziel in 2012, who became the first freshman to claim the prestigious award. Manziel's electrifying performances included leading the Aggies to an upset victory over top-ranked Alabama and establishing numerous programme records that still stand.
The renewal of the Lone Star Showdown rivalry with Texas in 2024, after a 13-year absence, captured national attention with 9.5 million viewers tuning in for the most-watched edition in the rivalry's history. With strong recruiting classes consistently ranked amongst the nation's top ten, including two five-star prospects in the 2025 cycle, the Aggies are positioned for sustained success. The programme continues building on its tradition whilst competing at the highest level of the SEC.
