Texas A&M had an abundance of youth in its 2017 receiving corps, leaning heavily on veterans Christian Kirk and Damion Ratley. Throughout the season, however, several freshmen began to emerge as playmakers, which gives the Aggies optimism out wide moving forward.
Here is an outlook at A&M's wide receivers and tight ends for 2018:
Key Returnees: Jhamon Ausbon (Sophomore, 6-2, 220; 38 receptions, 459 yards, 2 touchdowns); Cam Buckley (Sophomore, 6-2, 190; 13 receptions, 256 yards, 3 touchdowns) Roshauud Paul (Sophomore, 6-0, 180; 16 receptions, 187 yards)
Key Losses: Christian Kirk (NFL Draft), Damion Ratley (graduation)
Newcomers: Jalen Preston (6-2, 212), Caleb Chapman (6-5, 210), Montel Parker (6-2, 185), Jace Sternberger (6-4, 240)
