Aggies add new coach on the offensive side of the ball

Texas A&M has added a new wide receivers and tight ends coach with significant NFL experience.

Coach Mike Elko has hired former Rutgers wide receivers coach John Perry to join the A&M staff. His exact role has yet to be publicly defined, but he will likely serve as an offensive analyst and be on the field on game days.

Perry, 55, is no stranger to Texas. He was the tight ends coach for the Houston Texans from 2014-16, then coached the Texans’ wide receivers from 2017-20. He spent 2021 as an assistant at Rutgers, then headed to Huntsville to serve as Sam Houston’s offensive coordinator for a season. He returned to Rutgers in 2023 as a senior analyst.

Basketball team chokes away 22-point lead to Texas, rises in NET anyway

The Aggie basketball team dropped a road game to Texas Saturday in embarrassing fashion, blowing a 22-point second half lead to fall 70-69. The Longhorns led only for the final three seconds of the game.

Wade Taylor led the Aggies with 15 points, going five of eight from 3-point range, while Manny Obaseki added 13. But, after dominating much of the first half, Obaseki inexplicable played little after halftime as the lead dwindled away.

The Aggies had no answer for freshmen Trey Johnson, who led all scorers with 30 points. A&M's normal problems haunted them, as they went a pitiful three of eight from the free throw line. They also were hit with a technical foul for having six players on the court, a play that ended up being a five-point swing as Texas hit both free throws and drained a 3-pointer on the ensuing possession.

In spite of the loss, A&M moved up to 12th in the NET rankings, the highest in program history. The Aggies have six Quad I wins, a number only topped by Auburn (11) and Oregon (eight).

A&M returns home to Reed Arena Tuesday night, when they play Oklahoma starting at 8 p.m.

Men's, women's tennis both advance in ITA events

The 13th-ranked men won two straight matches 4-3, the last being against homestanding and 23rd-ranked Harvard. The Crimson will host the Indoor Nationals next Sunday at the Murr Center.

With the pressure on, freshman Theo Papamalamis won the decisive point in a three-set battle with Harvard's Danny Milavsky. After splitting the first two sets, Papamalamis crushed Milavsky 6-0 in the final set to secure the win for the Aggies.

The second-ranked Aggie women continue to look like a juggernaut, taking its third straight 4-0 sweep and 58th straight win at home in a blanking of TCU Saturday. The win gave A&M the ITA Kickoff Weekend championship.

The Aggies won two doubles matches and three singles matches when the overall match was called. The A&M women were ahead in all unfinished matches when they clinched the needed fourth point for the victory.
