Texas A&M has signed athletic director Trev Alberts to a 6-year contract extension.
The school announced the move on Friday. The new deal will keep Alberts in College Station through 2031. Alberts joined the school in 2024 after spending several seasons at Nebraska. While he wasn’t the man to hire Mike Elko, Alberts has nevertheless overseen a historic rise for the football program.
Texas A&M football ranks third in the nation and is 10-0 for the first time in more than 30 years. The Aggies are seeking their first-ever SEC Championship and their first trip to the College Football Playoff.
With one conference game remaining in the regular season, the Aggies are a decent bet to make the league title game. They’re also likely a lock to make the CFP regardless of what happens on Nov. 28 against Texas.
“We’re building something special here at Texas A&M, and my partnership with Trev is an integral part of that,” Elko said of Alberts in a statement. “I’ve truly appreciated his leadership, especially the open dialogue he maintains with his coaches to gather feedback and elevate Texas A&M as one of the nation’s premier brands. This contract ensures continuity in the momentum we’ve already created, and I’m excited about our future.”
Alberts has overseen 2 national championships during his tenure with the Aggies. The women’s tennis program claimed its first in program history in 2024, and the men’s outdoor track & field program won its fifth outdoor title in 2025. Texas A&M has also won 4 SEC championships since Alberts was hired, with women’s tennis winning in 2024 and 2025, men’s indoor track & field in 2025, and softball winning the SEC Tournament crown in 2025. The baseball program also played for a national title in 2024.
“I want to express my gratitude to the Texas A&M Board of Regents, Chancellor Glenn Hegar and Interim President Tommy Williams for their continued confidence in our vision for the athletics department,” Alberts said. “From the moment we arrived, Angie and I have felt embraced by the Texas A&M family and this truly feels like home. We’re fortunate to work alongside extraordinary coaches, staff and student-athletes who pour themselves into their programs every single day. The momentum we’ve built over the past 20 months is real, and I’m energized by the opportunity to continue elevating this department with them.”
Derek Peterson does a bit of everything, not unlike Taysom Hill. He has covered Oklahoma, Nebraska, the Pac-12, and now delivers CFB-wide content.
