Mike Elko ranked fifth among SEC head coaches by On3

Mike Elko, head coach of Texas A&M, is ranked fifth in On3's SEC head coach rankings. This season marks his third with the Aggies, where he led the team to the College Football Playoff for the first time and achieved 11 wins in a season for the first time since the early 1990s. The Aggies have made significant roster changes, with 17 new additions from the transfer portal. Elko signed a six-year contract extension worth $69 million following last season. In the 2026 NFL Draft, a record 10 Aggies were selected, including wide receiver KC Concepcion, who was chosen 24th overall. Expectations are high as Elko aims for postseason advancement after last year's early playoff exit.
