Texas A&M Expected to Rehire Elijah Robinson as Defensive Line Coach

He would replace Sean Spencer after a two-year Syracuse stint that included a midseason demotion.

Overview

CBS Sports reports Texas A&M is expected to bring back Elijah Robinson to lead the defensive line, though the school has not announced the hire.
Robinson previously coached the Aggies’ defensive line from 2018 to 2023, added co-defensive coordinator and assistant head coach titles, and went 1–2 as interim head coach in 2023.
He served as Syracuse’s defensive coordinator the past two seasons, with the 2025 defense sliding in national rankings and prompting a move to co-defensive coordinator.
The vacancy at Texas A&M opened when Sean Spencer left to become Virginia Tech’s defensive line coach.
LSU and Nebraska also pursued Robinson, attracted by his track record as a top recruiter who helped A&M land multiple five-star defensive line prospects.
