COLLEGE STATION \u2014 After interviewing five external candidates,\u00a0Texas A&M football<\/a> has selected a familiar face for its next offensive coordinator.<\/p>\n

A&M wide receivers coach\u00a0Holmon Wiggins will assume the role of offensive coordinator, head coach Mike Elko announced Monday. The\u00a0decision follows last week’s departure of current\u00a0play-caller Collin Klein, who accepted the head coaching job at Kansas State.<\/p>\n

Before joining the A&M\u00a0staff, Wiggins had spent five seasons at Alabama, including three seasons as the assistant head coach of the offense.<\/p>\n

Wiggins is often praised as an excellent recruiter and is credited with helping bring in transfer portal players KC Concepcion and Mario Craver, both of whom have achieved career-high numbers this season.<\/p>\n

“Definitely looking forward to next season,” Craver said when asked about the hire. “That’s always been a goal of his. I am very proud of him.”<\/p>\n

While serving as the co-offensive coordinator alongside Klein, Wiggins helped the Aggies rank among the best nationally in several key offensive categories in 2025, including 16th in scoring offense, 20th in total offense and 26th in rushing offense.<\/p>\n

“That’s definitely an accomplishment for coach Wiggins,” Concepcion said. “He comes in every day the same way. High energy. He’s going to give it his all. I’m happy for him to finally have that role.”<\/p>\n

Both Klein and Wiggins will remain in their current roles throughout the Aggies’\u00a0playoff run.<\/p>\n
