ESPN previews Texas A&M's 2026 Maroon & White Game

Texas A&M's annual Maroon & White Game will now take place at 11:00 a.m on Saturday, April 18, serving as the 15th and final spring practice before the 2026 roster heads into the final three months before fall practice begins in early August. Overall, among the 17 transfer portal additions and 25 of 26 freshmen from the 2026 recruiting class, several newcomers have stood out over the last few weeks.

However, Aggie fans and the national media are looking forward to watching redshirt junior quarterback Marcel Reed back under center for his third season, and second full starting campaign, and after being voted as one of the Aggies' five 2026 capatains, the Tennessee native will look to take full advantage of Saturday's extended scrimmage and find a rhythm with newly formed wide receiver rotation.

On Friday, ESPN released its spring football preview for every Power Conference team, while veteran Texas A&M beat writer Dave Wilson provided his perspective on what to expect from the Aggies on Saturday, starting with his "positions of intrigue" with a clear focus on the wide receiver rotation now featuring Alabama transfer Isaiah Horton and four freshman wideouts from the 2026 class:

"Who will break out at wide receiver this season? Last season, adding KC Concepcion and Mario Craver through the portal dramatically changed the A&M offense because of their big-play potential. The Aggies retained Craver, who had 917 yards last season, but they'll be looking for someone to replace Concepcion's 61 catches. The Aggies are very high on , who had 24 catches for 503 yards as a freshman and landed a big target in 6-4 transfer Isaiah Horton, who had 52 catches for 511 yards and eight TDs last season. Former five-star recruit , a talented athlete and returner, has yet to make a big impact in the passing game."
