Following Collin Klein’s departure to Kansas State after Texas A&M’s postseason performance, the Aggies will elevate co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins to the role of offensive coordinator. This announcement was made by A&M head coach Mike Elko during his weekly press conference on Monday.
Elko praised Wiggins, highlighting his intelligence and sharp offensive mindset. “He obviously played a big role in what we’ve done around here on offense to this point,” said Elko. He noted Wiggins’ extensive experience under several successful offensive coordinators throughout his career, emphasizing that his vision for running the offense aligns well with the team’s goals.
Wiggins joined Texas A&M in 2024 from the University of Alabama, where he spent five years as the wide receivers coach. His tenure at Alabama included three years as assistant head coach of offense under the renowned Nick Saban. During this time, he played a pivotal role in developing star players, including Heisman Trophy and Biletnikoff Award winner DeVonta Smith, and was instrumental in producing five first-round NFL draft picks.
In the current season, Wiggins has been significant in the Aggies’ offensive achievements. The receiving duo of KC Concepcion and Mario Craver has totaled 1,711 yards—marking the highest combination by an A&M pair since 2013. Additionally, Wiggins has been a key contributor to recruiting efforts for the program.
Elko remarked, “If you would say, ‘What is the most improved area on your team?’ It’s wide receiver talent… The passing game has seen remarkable improvement, and he plays a role in all of that, right? He plays a role in the accumulation of talent and in developing and coaching them in the schematics that go behind it.”
As Texas A&M transitions under Wiggins’ leadership, the team looks forward to continued growth and success on the field, harnessing both his coaching expertise and strategic vision. This change reflects a strong commitment to enhancing the offensive strategy, promising an exciting future for Aggie football.
