Overview

• Conner Weigman will start under center for the Aug. 28 opener against Stephen F. Austin after three seasons at Texas A&M
• Offensive roster additions include RB Dean Connors, TE Tanner Koziol, five linemen with a combined 68 FBS starts and two wide receivers to bolster depth
• Willie Fritz’s staff revamp features Slade Nagle overseeing a new offensive scheme, Austin Armstrong leading the defense and Chris Couch handling special teams
• Nagle’s offense is designed around creating mismatches through expanded use of tight ends to uplift a unit that ranked 126th in total offense last season
• The secondary is being rebuilt after losing All-Big 12 safety A.J. Haulcy to LSU and cornerback Jeremiah Wilson to Florida State, opening competition in the defensive backfield
