A roster shift in College Station opened an immediate opportunity for a true freshman to work his way into Texas A&M‘s rotation.
Aaron Gregory is now projected as the Aggies’ fifth wide receiver in the rotation, outlined in reporting from Texas A&M Aggies On SI as coaches retool depth charts during Fall Camp. The move follows head coach Mike Elko’s announcement that Jerome Myles left the program for “personal reasons.”
Key Takeaways
- Head coach Mike Elko announced Jerome Myles’ departure from the program for “personal reasons.”
- Aaron Gregory, a true freshman, now projects as the Aggies’ fifth wide receiver in the rotation after Myles’ departure.
- Gregory was a four-star recruit ranked among the top receivers in his class and finished high school with 163 catches for 2,930 yards and 20 touchdowns.
- Texas A&M’s receiving room still includes returning starter Mario Craver and transfer Isaiah Horton, with Ashton Bethel-Roman and Terry Bussey providing depth.
Aaron Gregory moves into the fifth receiver role
The immediate impact from Jerome Myles’ departure is a clearer path for Gregory to see the field in his true freshman season.
Gregory has been visible in practice and Fall Camp work as coaches emphasize his positional flexibility and ball skills, and offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins offered an evaluation: “Aaron Gregory, we knew that he was a guy who could stop and start, could play the ball, really good position flex,” “So, now he’s learning multiple positions because he has that capacity.”
At 6-2 and 191 pounds, Gregory offers size that fits both outside and in the slot and gives the Aggies a rotational option across alignments.
How Gregory’s skill set fits the offense
Gregory’s high-school production at Douglas County High School gives coaches a baseline for his route polish and contested-catch ability.
Those traits align with the staff’s emphasis on quick separation and contested catches, and his positional flexibility could factor into situational packages and third-down reps.
WR room status and prospect comparison
The room still features Mario Craver and transfer Isaiah Horton as the primary targets, with Ashton Bethel-Roman and Terry Bussey providing depth and role-specific snaps.
Gregory stepping into the fifth-receiver spot clarifies where he fits on the current depth chart and how coaches intend to deploy him during situational work.

| Isaiah Horton | Transfer | New transfer addition expected to factor into target distribution. |
| Ashton Bethel-Roman | Returning | Provides experienced depth and role-specific snaps. |
| Terry Bussey | Returning | Integrated into situational work with growing role in camp. |

SEC roster and recruiting implications
Promoting a highly rated freshman into the rotation keeps Texas A&M’s depth profile intact and signals a willingness to play top recruits early, which can matter in in-state and regional recruiting conversations.
Early reps for Gregory also provide a practical roster-building buffer in the SEC’s competitive environment, allowing the Aggies to maintain positional flexibility without pursuing an external short-term replacement.
