AggieYell.com's series on the key members of the 2021 Texas A&M football team continues with center Matthew Wykoff.
Class: Freshman
Height/Weight: 6-foot-6, 330 pounds
2020 stats (at Magnolia High School): 3-star prospect according to Rivals.com
Projected 2021 role: Backup center
Wykoff arrived at A&M at the midterm and it was a good thing he did, because he found himself at a totally unfamiliar position -- center. With Luke Matthews struggling with injuries, the Aggies needed to find a capable replacement, and Wykoff did well enough to start with the first team in the Maroon & White Game. He has continued to take reps with the starters when Matthews has been out, but fellow freshman Bryce Foster has caught up with him. One of the two -- or both -- could find themselves on the field fast if Matthews is unable to play.
