Texas A&M Keeps Holmon Wiggins as Play-Caller as Offense Falters

Elko's decision aims for continuity as red-zone inefficiency and uncertain receiver health leave the Aggies needing two wins to reach bowl eligibility.

Overview

Texas A&M dropped to 4-5 (1-5 SEC) after a 17-9 loss at South Carolina that saw the Aggies gain more than 450 yards but fail to score a touchdown in conference play for the third time this season.
Coach Mike Elko confirmed Holmon Wiggins will keep play-calling duties through the rest of the regular season, a move framed as preserving continuity while the offense struggles to finish drives.
Key wideouts Ashton Bethel-Roman and Kelshaun Johnson remain without injury updates from the staff, leaving receiver availability unclear for Saturday's home game against No. 13 Tennessee.
Defensive coordinator Lyle Hemphill has produced measurable gains since taking over play-calling, with the unit improving national rankings and ranking first in red-zone defense.
Texas A&M will host major 2027 and 2028 recruiting visitors this weekend, making on-field results versus Tennessee and fixes to pass protection and red-zone play-calling important for recruiting and offseason evaluations.
