Holmon Wiggins lays out his offensive approach as Texas A&M’s new coordinator

Texas A&M introduced Holmon Wiggins as its new offensive coordinator, and on Tuesday the veteran assistant used the occasion to spell out how he wants to run the offense in his first season as the Aggies’ play-caller. Wiggins’ promotion shifts a central responsibility to a coach who has spent recent seasons on Mike Elko’s staff, building a reputation for working closely with skill-position groups and for connecting coaching with recruiting production.

The timing of the change matters because Texas A&M’s offseason turnover on offense centers on the vacancy at the top of the play-calling duties. Collin Klein has departed for Kansas State, leaving behind the role of directing the offense in games. Wiggins, stepping into that lane, is expected to set the weekly preparation rhythm and the in-game decision-making that Klein handled previously.

Wiggins is not new to the program’s staff structure. According to Yahoo Sports, he served as Texas A&M’s wide receivers coach since the 2024 season under Elko. That background gives him familiarity with how the Aggies communicate on offense, how the position room is coached, and how the staff evaluates route concepts and timing elements that show up across a week of practice.

Beyond his coaching assignments, the article also described Wiggins as one of Texas A&M’s “ace recruiters,” a factor that often shapes how coordinators build depth. Coordinators who recruit heavily tend to stay involved in recruiting plans not just for immediate needs but also for how future recruiting classes will fit the system. In Wiggins’ case, Tuesday’s comments framed his coaching style as something he applies consistently, both to day-to-day development and to the longer view of roster construction.

While the Aggies have not only changed play-calling personnel but also the voice that leads game planning, Wiggins’ remarks suggest a shift in emphasis rather than a complete identity overhaul. A coordinator coming from a position-coach role is typically tasked with translating fundamentals into a repeatable script, then adjusting it based on opponent tendencies. Texas A&M now faces the practical challenge of ensuring the entire offense understands that translation, especially with Wiggins at the center of the play-call process.

For fans and analysts, the immediate test will come when the Aggies put Wiggins’ approach on display against live opponents. In the opening weeks, the offense’s tempo, formation usage, and the way the staff reacts to coverage looks will offer the clearest read on how his style translates from meetings to game-day execution. If the offense is efficient early, it may indicate that the communication and preparation standards he described are landing quickly with players.
