Aggie AM: Monday, August 10

Howdy, 12th Man, and welcome to the Aggie AM.

This is our very first edition, and you’re getting it right along with every other Aggie. The Aggie AM is your free morning briefing from Texas A&M Athletics. Every weekday, we round up what’s happening across Aggieland and deliver it right to your email inbox before your first cup of coffee. Each edition is built to read fast. The Big 3 covers the news you can’t miss. The Best Thing We Saw Over the Weekend brings you the one moment worth reliving. The Rundown catches you up on everything else, and The Schedule shows you what’s coming next. Whether you’re a long-time season ticket holder or a brand-new fan, we hope you’ll make this part of your morning routine.

We’re coming off a busy weekend, with volleyball hard at work, soccer getting its first preseason road test, and football camp rolling with kickoff at Kyle Field now less than a month away.

It’s Monday, August 10 — here’s what you need to know to start your day.

The Big 3

Fall camp is in full swing: Four practices in, the Aggies are steadily building toward Week 1. The “Sights and Sounds” series is your look at the work happening in Aggieland ahead of the Sept. 5 opener. Link

‘This is Buckyball’ is back: Consider this your fun watch of the morning. Episode 3 dropped over the weekend, taking you beachside from Baha Mar. Pour a cup and hit play. Link

Soccer opens the season Wednesday: It’s officially game week for Aggie soccer after wrapping up its preseason slate over the weekend. Bobby Shuttleworth’s group travels to Houston on Wednesday to face Rice (6 p.m.), then visits Baylor on Sunday. Link

The Best Thing We Saw

Terry Bussey Is Making Plays in Camp

Fall camp gave us this one over the weekend: Terry Bussey, back for his redshirt-junior year as one of the SEC’s most dangerous returners, pulling in a catch worth the replay.

The Rundown

VOLLEYBALL: Get Your First Look Tomorrow

The defending national champions open to the public with a Maroon & White scrimmage Tuesday at Reed Arena (5:30 p.m.), and admission is free. It’s a good excuse to get back in the building before the Aug. 28 home opener. Link

TRACK & FIELD: Two More Incoming Aggies Reach U20 Finals

The Aggie pipeline kept rolling in Eugene. Otis Poole cleared 2.14m in the high jump for Great Britain, and Justin Stewart ran a 10.97 leadoff split in Jamaica’s mixed 4x100 relay, with both incoming Aggies reaching Saturday’s finals at Hayward Field. Link

FOOTBALL: Olano Lands on the Lou Groza Watch List

Kicker David Olano, a graduate transfer from Illinois, made the preseason watch list for the Lou Groza Award, given to the nation’s top place-kicker. He arrives in Aggieland having converted his last six field goals and 53 straight PATs. Link

SOCCER: Carapazza Named to Hermann Trophy Watch List

Midfielder Bella Carapazza landed on the preseason Hermann Trophy watch list, college soccer’s top individual honor. A transfer from Lipscomb, she piled up 14 goals and 17 assists over three seasons in the Atlantic Sun and is one of the new faces Shuttleworth is leaning on this fall. Link

WOMEN'S GOLF: Aggies Set Their Fall Slate

The Aggies rolled out their 2026 fall schedule, opening Sept. 7-9 at the Folds of Honor Collegiate in Grand Haven, Mich., an event they won a year ago. Louise Reau and company will look to build on last spring’s No. 1 NCAA Regional seed. Link
