The Texas A&M Aggies football team has made significant adjustments to its wide receiver position as it prepares for the upcoming 2025 season. The team faced a major overhaul due to the departures of key players, most notably Jahdae Walker and Moose Muhammad III, both of whom were selected in the recent NFL Draft. Additionally, leading receiver Noah Thomas has transferred to the Georgia Bulldogs, leaving the Aggies seeking new offensive threats.

Offensive coordinator Collin Klein has been entrusted with the responsibility of identifying a new red zone threat among the remaining and new receivers. The coaching staff, led by Coach Mike Elko, has been active during the offseason, successfully recruiting a mix of strategic transfers and promising freshmen, with a strong emphasis on improving the speed and explosiveness of the receiving corps.

Among the most notable transfers is Mario Craver, a sophomore from Mississippi State. In the prior season, he accumulated 17 receptions for 368 yards and three touchdowns. Craver’s performance against the Aggies in October, where he recorded five catches for 42 yards and a touchdown, highlighted his potential impact on his new team.

Another significant addition is Kevin “KC” Concepcion, who transferred from N.C. State. In his sophomore season, Concepcion recorded 53 receptions for 460 yards and six touchdowns. His freshman season was even more impressive, finishing with 71 receptions, 839 yards, and 10 touchdowns, which showcases his ability to contribute significantly to the Aggies’ offense.

Incoming freshman Terry Bussey is also making a transition primarily into a receiving role. In the previous season, he recorded 17 receptions for 216 yards and scored two touchdowns, showcasing his versatility as both a receiver and a runner. In addition to these newcomers, returning receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman will look to improve upon his previous season’s performance, where he registered four catches for 44 yards and one touchdown.

The coaching staff is optimistic about the potential impact of their incoming freshmen, particularly four-star recruits Aaron Gregory, Madden Williams, and Mike Brown. Gregory, who hails from Douglasville, Georgia, had a stellar high school career, while Williams from Bellflower, California had an impressive junior season, tallying 50 receptions for 851 yards and 13 touchdowns. His achievements earned him invitations to both the Polynesian Bowl and Navy All-American Bowl, demonstrating his high caliber as a receiver.

As it stands, the new wide receiver corps is motivated to enhance their output, given that Texas A&M averaged only 210.3 passing yards per game last season, which ranked 87th nationally. A definitive goal for the upcoming season is to improve big-play production; last season, the team recorded only 35 passes of 20 yards or more. The addition of Craver and Concepcion is already being felt, with their arrival adding a competitive edge and much-needed playmaking ability to the Aggies’ offense.

Furthermore, Izaiah Williams, despite limited action in his freshman year, is expected to find greater opportunities to contribute in the upcoming season. Also joining the corps will be freshman Jerome Myles, who is recovering from a knee injury and promises to bring additional size to the wide receiver group.

The Texas A&M Aggies are scheduled to commence their 2025 season against UTSA on August 30, 2025, at Kyle Field. Preparations are underway as the team looks to bolster their offense and capitalize on their newly acquired talent.
