Aggies Receive High Praise In USA Today Preseason Coaches Poll
Texas A&M will begin the 2021 season with enormous expectations, thanks in large part to a group of super-seniors deciding to return to College Station to chase a national championship.
The Aggies will also return a total of 15 starters, including nine on the defensive side of the ball, in what is expected to be one of the top defensive units in all of college football next season.
On Tuesday, the USA TODAY AFCA preseason coaches poll was released, backing up those expectations, with the Aggies coming in at the No. 6 overall team in the country, behind traditional powers Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Ohio State, and Georgia.
