A&M 2025: Volleyball Crown, CFP Debut, Basketball Run

Volleyball Claims First National Title

Coach Jamie Morrison led the Aggies to their first national championship, navigating a relentless NCAA Tournament that included a stunning upset of No‑1 seed Nebraska in Lincoln. The squad followed that victory with wins over Pitt and Kentucky to clinch the title in the championship match. This historic win marks a defining moment for Texas A&M volleyball and cements Morrison’s reputation as a championship-caliber coach.

Football Breaks Into the Playoff

Second‑year coach Mike Elko’s Aggies finished 11‑2, with quarterback Marcel Reed, wide receivers KC Concepcion and Mario Craver, and edge defender Cashius Howell delivering career‑best performances. The dominant regular season earned Texas A&M its first College Football Playoff berth in program history. Howell’s unanimous All‑American edge play and the spread offense orchestrated by Reed were key to the run.

Baseball‑free Basketball Upsurge

AD Trev Alberts took a gamble on former Samford coach Bucky McMillan, who built the roster almost entirely from the transfer portal. After losing Indiana transfer Mackenzie Mgbako to injury after seven games, forwards Rashaun Agee and Rylan Griffin became central to the Aggies’ resurgence. The team posted a 22‑12 record, tied for fourth in the SEC at 11‑7, and reached the NCAA Tournament, beating Saint Mary’s before falling to Houston in the Round of 32.
