I'm going to operate under the assumption Morcos will join the program. Either way, the Aggies need a veteran to push and compete with Reed. A&M should be pretty appealing to a quarterback with dual-threat capabilities.

Moss will likely want to come back after his season was cut short. Daniels and Smith both have eligibility left, and it makes sense for them to stick around. Owens will be back after missing all but three regular season carries this year. Riden and Morrow both signed today, making for an absolutely loaded, and versatile, backfield.

They have decent numbers here, but Green's a question mark as he hasn't fully recovered from his ACL injury, which leaves Ohrstrom as the only tight end who's 100% and has game experience. That may mean A&M goes looking for another veteran, as they did with Tre Watson last offseason.

This screams for help from the portal. When two-thirds of your receiver corps has never played a collegiate down or has played very few, that's a real problem. A&M needs big receivers who can take the top off of a defense, and if they're tall, so much the better. This is one group that needs numbers, experience and speed.

Right now, it seems like virtually everyone here is returning -- that'll probably change -- and they've added three more true freshmen. If Dewberry sticks around and Nabou recovers (and he can play both guard and center), then the Aggies are in good shape. If you lose a guy or two, then someone like Ahfua or Ivy will have to step in.

The Aggies have a serious lack of size at end right now. After having two big ends this season with Nic Scourton and Shemar Stewart, A&M is looking at having no end over 260 pounds on the roster and very little experience overall. They will almost certainly be active in the portal.

Regis and Hicks look like they're going to be the starters next year, but after that, they're going to need some help. Sanders and Sims are really good freshmen, but they're still true freshmen. They'll be looking for some veteran help, like we saw from Rodas Johnson this season.

I do not expect this group to remain together throughout the offseason, but the top seven -- Williams, York, Sanford, Lockhart, Jernigan and the two freshman -- make for what appears to be a pretty stout group.

They have numbers and depth at safety and Pettaway should be a good backup for Chappell at nickel. But if they could find a difference maker here, that would be hard to turn down. But they may already have the present, the immediate future and farther out already on the roster.

I really, really like the three corners A&M signed today. I don't like seeing true freshmen out there if it can be avoided. So I hope A&M can sign one quality veteran in the portal to allow Currie, Beal-Goines the opportunity to develop if they need it. The debacle of 2023 remains fresh in my memory.

If my numbers are right, with the two punters -- Tyler White and Keegan Andrews -- the Aggies are at exactly 85 scholarships. This is not going to be how this team looks when it takes the field next fall, and probably won't look like this in a month. But with pressing needs at several positions, look for the transfer portal get pretty hectic with players going
