Texas A&M's annual Maroon & White spring game offered the same amount of information for the average Aggie fan as any scrimmage in the past, which isn't much, but that's the point. Spring games give coaches a general review of what players have worked on this spring, especially at quarterback, wide receiver, and pass rush on defense.

On Saturday, all three focus areas showed improvement, especially on the defensive line, as freshman Edge Marco Jones recorded five sacks and six tackles for loss. At the same time, transfer additions Dayon Hayes, T.J. Searcy, and Tyler Odyedem looked the part, getting in the backfield multiple times throughout the day.

The revamped wide receiver room showed off its speed, route running, and acceleration, led by the newly acquired KC Concepcion and Mario Craver, who looked like starting quarterback Marcel Reed's go-to targets, which will likely be the case next season.

However, one name that wasn't available is five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles, who sat out this month as he recovers from his recent injury. Head coach Mike Elko provided an update regarding his health.

"Jerome Myles was here today. He has all the physical characteristics to be a great player… He is coming back from a knee injury."

"Without question, he will add a lot of value to our program."

Jerome Myles enters the program as one of the top athletes in the 2025 class. If he is healthy and ready to contribute next season, he won't see a lot of time on the bench. Besides his downfield speed and large catch radius, Myles provides size to a wide receiver room, which is needed to replace Noah Thomas.
