College Station, Texas – Texas A&M tight end Theo Melin Ohrstrom is gearing up for a highly anticipated matchup against No. 8 Notre Dame this Saturday at 6:30 PM CDT. Ohrstrom has made a significant impact early in the season, reflecting the tight end’s evolving role within the Aggies’ offensive strategy, traditionally anchored by notable players like Jalen Wydermeyer and Jace Sternberger.
In his second season, Ohrstrom is the sole returning tight end from last year’s trio, which also included Shane Calhoun and Tre Watson. These players experienced reduced roles as head coach Mike Elko implemented a new offensive game plan. This year, Ohrstrom has quickly established himself as a key player, notably catching a touchdown pass during the season opener against UTSA and earning admiration from former tight end Jace Sternberger, who views Ohrstrom’s journey as promising.
Ohrstrom hails from Stockholm, Sweden, part of Texas A&M’s impressive 2022 recruiting class alongside renowned talents like Shemar Stewart and Le’Veon Moss. His interest in football was sparked by highlights of wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., motivating him to pursue the sport more seriously. As the season progressed, Ohrstrom’s contributions became evident, with three receptions for 23 yards and a touchdown in a crucial fourth-and-goal situation against UTSA, leading to a 42-24 victory. Additionally, he recorded two receptions for 16 yards in a convincing 44-22 win over Utah State.
With these early season stats, Ohrstrom has already tallied five receptions for a total of 39 yards and one touchdown, halfway to his target for the season of ten receptions, 184 yards, and two touchdowns. The tight end position at Texas A&M has seen recent growth, including the addition of transfers like Amari Niblack from Texas, Nate Boerkircher from Nebraska, and Micah Riley from Auburn, which enhance the team’s depth and versatility. Niblack, in particular, has emerged as a player capable of functioning as a dual threat, able to act both as a tight end and a wide receiver.
As the Aggies prepare for their showdown against Notre Dame, the tight end depth chart remains stable, with key positions filled by quarterback Marcel Reed and wide receiver KC Concepcion. With a focus on enhancing their offensive performance, Texas A&M’s tight end group aims to distance themselves from last season’s performance, where combined stats totaled just 521 yards, three touchdowns, and 34 receptions—numbers that fell short compared to Texas Longhorns’ tight end Gunnar Helm.
Ohrstrom anticipates that the tight ends can significantly impact the game, underscoring their physical approach and adaptability in the team’s offensive scheme. With this focus, they aim to carve out a more dynamic presence in the Aggies’ offense as the season unfolds.
