Texas A&M defensive end depth impresses coach Mike Elko after Missouri State win

Texas A&M defeated Missouri State 50-0 on Saturday in a performance highlighted by a dominant defensive effort. The Aggies held the Bears to 67 total yards and limited them to one conversion on 10 third-down attempts. Head coach Mike Elko emphasized the depth of his defensive end rotation, specifically citing the performance of San Diego State transfer Ryan Henderson. Henderson recorded the team's lone sack of the day while earning an 86.4 defensive grade. Although the pass rush recorded only three pressures, Elko noted that competition for snaps remains high among the unit. Freshman defensive end Tristian Givens and defensive tackle Bryce Perry-Wright also saw playing time as the coaching staff prepares the roster for upcoming SEC competition.
