00:00 The new start to this Texas A&M football program began with the hiring of head coach Mike Elko.
00:06 Since then, Elko has hit the ground running as soon as he got to Aggieland.
00:10 Between recruiting and building his new staff, Elko has made his intentions in bringing A&M
00:15 back to a championship-caliber team known.
00:18 But as we all know, one of the biggest challenges for college coaches today is navigating the
00:23 transfer portal and the ability to retain current or committed players.
00:29 Elko recently revealed a look into how he is pitching players to stay put in College
00:33 Station, mentioning how A&M has stood the test of time and has never wavered in what
00:39 the university stands for and what it represents.
00:43 Elko also mentions conversations about running an elite football program and the intent to
00:48 develop young men, one and off the field, and becoming champions in every aspect of
00:53 their life.
00:55 Elko acknowledged the potential that everyone sees in this Aggies program and went on to
00:59 say that his staff is going to bring that potential to reality.
01:04 The rich tradition and success of A&M definitely makes it an easy pitch for Elko, but being
01:09 able to convince those players that College Station is where they belong is where he will
01:13 need to prove himself in order to get this program back to excellence.
01:18 From all Aggies, I'm Alexandra Cox.
