Projecting Texas A&M's post-spring 2026 offensive depth chart

Running back

• Starter: Rueben Owens
• Backup: Jamarion Morrow

This is a massive year for senior Rueben Owens, who rushed for a career high 639 yards and five touchdowns last season, while his past injury issues prevented the former five-star prospect from reaching his full potential earlier. Behind him, sophomore Jamarion Morrow looks like the best one-cut back after showing off his explosive second-level burst during the spring game.

Depth-wise, redshirt freshman Tiger Riden could take over EJ Smith's 2025 role, while freshmen KJ Edwards and Carsyn Baker could see the field early in the year, but are likely a year away from earning extensive snaps barring injury.

Wide receiver

• Starting X: Isaiah Horton
• Backup X: Aaron Gregory OR Jerome Myles
• Starting Slot: Mario Craver
• Backup Slot: Terry Bussey
• Starting Z: Ashton Bethel-Roman
• Backup Z: Terry Bussey OR TK Norman

As you can see, Isaiah Horton, Mario Craver, and Ashton Bethel-Roman are locks to start at all three starting receiver spots, while freshman Aaron Gregory and redshirt freshman Jerome Myles, who has dealt with sustained injury issues, will battle for the backup X job.

In the slot, Mario Craver's primary backup should be Terry Bussey, who can also play at Z, while the name to watch behind Ashton Bethel-Roman is redshirt freshman TK Norman, who looked much improved during his limited snaps this spring.

Tight end

• Starter: Micah Riley
• Backup: Houston Thomas

Within a tight end room that features a lot of intriguing names, senior Micah Riley and UTSA transfer Houston Thomas look like the clear-cut options to lead the Aggies in snaps, while Riley's background as a reliable in-line blocker helps mend the loss of Nate Boerkircher, who was selected 56th overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Riley was named as one of five team captains last month.

Other names to watch include Kiotti Armstrong and Fresno State transfer Richie Anderson, two players who will provide depth but are likely another year away from earning starting spots. However, Armstrong's 6'6" frame and elite athleticism make him a player to watch during the preseason.

Offensive line

• Starting left tackle: Tyree Adams OR Lamont Rogers
• Backup left tackle: Lamont Rogers
• Starting left guard: Coen Echols
• Backup left guard: Tyler Thomas
• Starting center: Mark Nabou
• Backup center: Ashton Funk
• Starting right guard: Trovon Baugh
• Backup right guard: Blake Ivy
• Starting right tackle: Wilkins Formby
• Backup right tackle: Robert Bourdon

Former five-star tackle Lamont Rogers made strides this spring, but with the addition of LSU transfer Tyree Adams, starting experience is key. Rogers could outperform the veteran this fall. The rest of the projected starting line is pretty cut and dry, as all four SEC transfer additions are expected to regain their 2025 roles.

Depth is the keyword with this group, and on most rosters, Tyler Thomas, Ashton Funk, and Blake Ivy would be starters, and will provide third-year OL coach Adam Cushing the ability to rotate at nearly every postion, especially Robert Bourdon, who is versatile enough to play either tackle spot in a pinch.
