↗ Texas A&M football coach Mike Elko sizes up team, new depth chart before Aggies open season with Missouri State

↗ Texas A&M football coach Mike Elko sizes up team, new depth chart before Aggies open season with Missouri State

""He's been really, really consistent all through spring, all through summer, all through fall camp," said Elko on Humphrey. "He's gotten really confident playing the ball or more confident playing the ball. One of the things he struggled with at times last year was that final decision on the ball. He got a little bit – we use the word antsy, but would get antsy, and then that gets grabby and you start grabbing receivers and doing things that you don't need to do to be effective. And he's just gotten a lot more comfortable and confident with what we're asking of him, and that's shown through (the offseason). And he's been a warrior. He hasn't missed a single practice since last season ended, and I think he's really, really grown and developed, so we're excited to get him out there.""
