Texas A&M’s 2025 offensive line is poised to be one of the best units in the country, thanks to its experience and NFL-level talent, which will provide starting quarterback Marcel Reed and the Aggie running game a significant boost compared to last season’s inconsistent performance.
Throughout the offseason, head coach Mike Elko continued to praise his top seven returning offensive linemen, believing that winning in the trenches is the key to unlocking Texas A&M’s offense.
On Monday, during his sixth Coach’s Night of the summer in San Antonio, Elko continued to praise the group, noting that, during his second-to-last season as Texas A&M’s defensive coordinator before becoming Duke’s head coach, the Aggies’ 2025 O-line is the most experienced unit since A&M’s memorable 2020 season, which included an Orange Bowl victory over North Carolina.
“It’s great to bring back all seven of our top offensive lineman. The last time we were this old at that position, we ended our season playing in the Orange Bowl. It’s a really strong starting point to have a group like that.”
On paper, this is how the starting five offensive line could look when the Aggies open the 2025 season vs. UTSA:
At center, Nabou is coming off another injury-riddled season and will contend with veteran Koli Faaiu for the starting job. Notable guard depth includes redshirt freshmen Ashton Funk and Blake Ivy, while five-star freshman tackle Lamont Rogers might be too talented to keep off the field.
Another battle is at right tackle, as senior Reuben Fatheree is back for a final season, but will likely play behind Dametrious Crownover. Both are excellent pass protectors, so it will be tough to deny a close to equal snap count.
