Texas A&M Aggies 2025 College Football Preview
Posted July 23, 2025
2024 Recap
Record – 8-5
ATS – 3-10
The Aggies opened the season with a home loss to mighty Notre Dame and didn’t look very good in the process. The tension in College Station was PALPABLE. And then all of a sudden, Texas A&M got on a major HEATER and rattled off seven consecutive wins to get to 7-1. The season took a nasty detour to TURD TOWN USA as they got blown out by South Carolina (L 44-20) and they actually lost three of their final four regular season games. The defeat at the hands of Texas ended up keeping them out of the SEC Championship Game which would have been their first ever appearance in the grand event. The Aggies continued their slide in the postseason with a loss to USC in the Las Vegas Bowl to finish at 8-5.
Texas A&M Aggies 2025 Outlook
OFFENSE
The Aggies ran a very balanced operation LY (195 YPG rush, #26; 210 YPG pass) and they were much better when QB Marcel Reed was leading the way. Reed did great things as a true freshman (61%, 15-6 TD to INT; 543 rush, 7 TD) and we can’t wait to see what he has to offer in 2025. The rushing attack should be devastating with the return of Le’Veon Moss (765. 6.3, 10 TD), Amari Daniels (661, 8 TD), and Rueben Owens, and note they’ll be running behind what might be the best offensive line in the SEC. The unit boasts over 150 career starts and has serious size. In short, they’re REAL and SPECTACULAR. We’re not sold on the THROW GAME weaponry that’s undergoing under a complete overhaul but we like the additions of Kevin Concepcion (1,299 L2Y at NC St; 320 rush in 2023!) and Mario Craver from Mississippi St (21.6, 3 TD). This just might be the best offense we’ve seen in College Station since 2018 when they averaged 36 PPG.
DEFENSE
The Aggies have allowed 22.5 PPG or fewer every year since before the PLANDEMIC (22.2 LY, 25.3 in 2018) and last season they were decent vs the run (135 YPG, #42) and stingy vs the pass (#32 pass efficiency D, 53%, 20-16 TD to INT). We expect good things once again on defense and it starts in the secondary where every starter returns for duty including star CB Will Lee (10 PBU, 2 INT) and free safety Dalton Brooks (#2 tackles, 5.5 TFL). The LB corps looks great with the return of leading tackler Taurean York (9.5 TFL) and SCOOBY Williams (#4 tackles, 7.5 TFL), but the DL doesn’t look as deep or talented as LY’s group after losing three (!) talented specimens to the NFL.The good news is that they’ve still got talented participants up front including DE Cashius Howell (8.5 TFL, 7 PBU, 8 QBH) and DT DJ Hicks. Our only concern on defense relates to their ability to achieve PENETRATION as Texas A&M recorded a mere 25 sacks LY (#13 SEC, #64 FBS) and it doesn’t appear they have many dangerous pass rushers on board in 2025, but we’ll see what happens.
SPECIAL TEAMS
The Aggies will have one of the premier kicking games in the conference with BOND, RANDY BOND back to handle the PK duties (20/24 FG, 46/46 XP LY!) and they also retain punter Tyler White (40.7 net). As far as we know, KR/PR Terry Bussey will continue to handle the KR/PR duties.
Schedule Analysis
Overall – The Aggies have three layups in non-conference play but the fourth game is a DOOZY (at Notre Dame). They avoid Georgia and ROLL TIDE on the SEC docket but have a pair of nasty road games on the menu (LSU, Texas).
Potential ATS Trouble Spot – at LSU (Oct 25)
This contest follows the rivalry game with WOO PIG and they’ve gotta go to Arkansas for that one (not a neutral site event). Playing at LSU is always a nightmare but the back-to-back travel makes it extra tough, and note that the Aggies have lost six consecutive games in Baton Rouge (0-5-1 ATS). Want some icing on the cake? LSU will be coming off a game vs Vanderbilt and will be less battered and bruised.
Season Win Total
Market consensus July 23
Over 7.5 -170
Under 7.5 +140
MEGALOCKS says:
Lean: Over
If they can pick up one win in their three nasty road games (Irish, LSU, Horns) the ‘over’ should be SOLID GOLD, Jerry. If not, they’ve still got a decent shot to get to eight wins.
Note – Our official list of season win total investments will be posted in the blog section of the website.
MEGAmazing Tidbits
Texas A&M is a mind-boggling 11-24-3 ATS (31%) over the L3Y (3-10 LY). If there was ever a time for the REGRESSION MONSTER to emerge from the sea and lead a team to a profitable record vs the point spread, this would be the year.
The Aggies’ last conference title came way back in 1998 (!) when they slithered past Kansas St by a score of 36-33 (2 OT) in the Big 12 Championship Game. The match was held in St Louis back in the day when people weren’t afraid to be brutally murdered purely for sport on their way to the game.
MEGALOCKS Forecast:
WHOA, NELLIE. Texas A&M’s opponents better pack a lunch because this offense is gonna come at you with an elite ground attack powered by a monstrous offensive line. And they might have the most elusive QB in the country in Marcel Reed who’s poised to have a big season. The defense will be very good and we’ll be in complete shock if the Aggies aren’t in the thick of the SEC hunt well into November once again. There’s no doubt that a College Football Playoff appearance is well within reach.
