From punting and kicking to the return game, Texas A&M counted on its special teams in several key moments last season, a third of the game the Aggies felt they could always win.
A&M's special teams should have a different look in 2018, however, as the Aggies not only have to replace their punter and home-run returner, but special teams coordinator Jeff Banks as well.
Here is an outlook at the A&M special teams unit for 2018:
Key Returnees: Daniel LaCamera (senior, K, 17-of-20 FGs, 44-of-45 PATs), Braden Mann (junior, P)
Key Losses: Shane Tripucka (graduation), Christian Kirk (NFL Draft)
Newcomers: Seth Small (K, 5-11, 190)
