Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko has decided to promote Holmon Wiggins to offensive coordinator for the 2026 campaign.
That decision was announced on Monday afternoon. Wiggins is set to replace Collin Klein, who will leave College Station to become the next head coach at Kansas State after the Aggies’ College Football Playoff run.
Here’s the official announcement:

This is a bold move for Elko, as Wiggins has not called played at the collegiate level before. He’s mostly coached running backs and wide receivers at his various stops during his coaching career. Wiggins was also the assistant head coach at Alabama under Nick Saban from 2021-23.
Texas A&M is expected to have Marcel Reed back for next season. Reed took big strides as a passer this year, which was a big reason why the Aggies were able to complete an 11-1 regular season.
Overall, the Aggies averaged 6.56 yards per carry in 2025. That ranked 5th in the SEC, so it makes sense that Elko would want to keep as much staff continuity as possible for the 2026 season.
