As we look to predict, who the best teams in college football will be, the Blue Chip Ratio is often referenced, and for good reason. The number of high level recruits is absolutely a prerequisite to being a great team. But in this era of metrics and analytics, often not enough attention is paid to having veteran players on your roster. Experience matters, development matters, and leadership matters. And in 2023, Texas A&M has one of the most veteran-laden teams they’ve fielded in quite some time.
This is illustrated by the fact that the Aggies had ELEVEN players named to the Reese’s Senior Bowl watchlist this week: LB Edgerrin Cooper, transfer CB Josh DeBerry, DE Fadil Diggs, transfer CB Tony Grimes, DT McKinnley Jackson, WR Moose Muhammad III, S Demani Richardson, OG Layden Robinson, WR Ainias smith and TE Max Wright.
