Texas A&M Announces New Six-Year Deal for Alberts
Nov 21, 2025 | General
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M University announced a new six-year contract through 2031 for Director of Athletics Trev Alberts following authorization from The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents.
"As we navigate the changing college athletics landscape, Trev Alberts' professionalism, knowledge and business-minded approach is just what we need to compete boldly in the future," Interim President Tommy Williams '78 said. "His new, extended contract reflects our confidence in a leader who embodies our core values and understands the heartbeat of Aggie Athletics is the 12th Man."
Since his arrival in Aggieland, Alberts has overseen two national championships as women's tennis claimed its first in program history in 2024 and men's outdoor track & field won its fifth outdoor title in 2025. The Aggies have also brought home four SEC championships since Alberts was hired with women's tennis winning in 2024 and 2025, men's indoor track & field securing the title in 2025 and softball's SEC Tournament crown in 2025. Women's tennis played for another national championship in 2025, while the Aggie baseball team competed for the national title in 2024.
Texas A&M's football and volleyball teams are in the midst of historic seasons. Football ranks third in the nation and is 10-0 for the first time in more than 30 years. Volleyball has registered its best regular season record since 1984 at 22-3 and heads into the postseason as the No. 6 team in the country.
"I want to express my gratitude to the Texas A&M Board of Regents, Chancellor Glenn Hegar and Interim President Tommy Williams for their continued confidence in our vision for the athletics department," Alberts said. "From the moment we arrived, Angie and I have felt embraced by the Texas A&M family and this truly feels like home. We're fortunate to work alongside extraordinary coaches, staff and student-athletes who pour themselves into their programs every single day. The momentum we've built over the past 20 months is real, and I'm energized by the opportunity to continue elevating this department with them."
In addition to Texas A&M's success in competition, Alberts championed a new landmark multimedia rights agreement with Playfly Sports which is the largest deal of its kind in college athletics history. The partnership also includes a comprehensive strategy to leverage all Texas A&M assets to grow fair market value NIL for Aggie student-athletes.
As the athletics year wrapped up in 2023-24, Texas A&M posted a sixth-place finish in the Learfield Directors' Cup standings and finished 2024-25 in 15th place. In addition to success on the various fields of play, Aggie student-athletes were very involved in the community as well as excelling in the classroom. The overall departmental spring 2025 term grade-point average was 3.208, the highest in school history.
Alberts, a former first-round NFL draft pick and ESPN broadcaster, came to Texas A&M in March of 2024 after serving as the director of athletics at Nebraska since 2021. He moved to Lincoln after spending 12 years as the AD at University of Nebraska at Omaha, where he transitioned the athletic program from Division II to Division I, while leading an overhaul of its athletic facilities.
Texas A&M Head Coach on Trev Alberts:
Mike Elko – Football
"We're building something special here at Texas A&M, and my partnership with Trev is an integral part of that. I've truly appreciated his leadership, especially the open dialogue he maintains with his coaches to gather feedback and elevate Texas A&M as one of the nation's premier brands. This contract ensures continuity in the momentum we've already created, and I'm excited about our future."
Bucky McMillan – Men's Basketball
"Trev has proven to be a tremendous leader for our athletic programs at Texas A&M. The on-field success of so many Aggie sports speaks for itself. In the ever-evolving landscape of college athletics, very few universities have the support and leadership to compete for championships in all sports. It takes leadership that is highly intelligent and forward-thinking to make this happen. Trev possesses both of these qualities and creates a sense within the department that we are one step ahead of our competitors with his leadership. Trev has also built great relationships with the coaches and has created a sense of unity amongst all programs in the athletics department which has been vital for success. We're looking forward to many more successful years under Trev's leadership."
Trisha Ford – Softball
"Trev's leadership has elevated our entire department and given every program the confidence to chase excellence. He cares deeply about our student-athletes and invests in the resources that help them grow on and off the field. His vision for Texas A&M is bold, steady and rooted in what makes this place special. We are fortunate to have him guiding our future, and I am thrilled to continue working under his direction."
Jamie Morrison – Volleyball
"I have a lot of respect for what Trev has done at Texas A&M in the short time he's been here. In the ever-changing landscape of college athletics, he has a clear vision for how our athletics department can move forward and sustain success while staying true to the traditions at the core of our amazing University. You can see that in the results from our team and in the success happening across the entire department. This commitment from our President, Chancellor and Regents gives us the continuity we need to make Texas A&M the marquee brand in college athletics."
