Texas A&M's special teams are well-represented with kicker Randy Bond and punter Tyler White both named to the Lou Groza and Ray Guy Award watch lists, respectively, following strong campaigns last season. The Aggies' cornerback room also gained depth with transfers Julian Humphrey and Jordan Shaw joining veterans like Jayvon Thomas and Bravion Rogers, aiming to strengthen their secondary. Oklahoma added transfer specialists kicker Tate Sandell and punter Jacob Ulrich to their roster, both named to the same Groza and Guy preseason watch lists, with Ulrich ranked among the nation’s top punters in 2024.
