Texas A&M is reportedly closing in on a major hire for Mike Elko’s coaching staff.

The Aggies are set to hire former LSU strength and conditioning coach Tommy Moffitt. Football Scoop was first to share that news on Tuesday evening. Moffitt spent more than 20 seasons with the Tigers and helped the program with 3 national championships under 3 different head coaches.

Most recently, Moffitt helped LSU win the 2019 national championship with Ed Orgeron as head coach. Moffitt was also named as FootballScoops’ national strength and conditioning coach of the year for his efforts that season.

Moffitt left LSU after the 2021 season with Brian Kelly took over as head coach. The Texas A&M job will be his first role back in college athletics since leaving the Tigers.

Moffitt is a Tennessee native. He also worked with Tennessee and Miami before joining LSU in January of 2000.

This is a significant hire for Elko, who is looking to rebuild Texas A&M’s football program into a national power. The Aggies have not finished a season ranked inside the AP Top 25 since they went 10-1 in 2020.
