The Aggies welcome back a full room of varsity athletes from a season ago including Glenn Beal, Baylor Cupp and Max Wright. Beal, from New Orleans, has appeared in nine games in the Maroon & White while Wright, from Katy, Texas, makes the transition from the defensive side of the ball. Cupp, Brock, Texas, was expected to make a significant contribution at the position a season ago before an injury in fall camp ended his year.
