TEXAS A&M AGGIES NEWS

Haynes King - Practices with second-team offense King was working with the second-string offense during Thursday's practice, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.

Impact King saw action as the backup last season for Texas A&M but his appearance with the second-team offense suggests he may have fallen behind Zach Calzada a bit in the race to replace Kellen Mond under center. It's still fair to still consider it a quarterback battle until a starter for Week 1 is officially announced.

Hezekiah Jones - Spotted with arm in sling Jones had an arm in a sling and was riding a stationary bike during practice Thursday, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.

Impact Jones figures to be part of the equation out wide again in 2021 if healthy, but his arm being in a sling with just over two weeks remaining before the opener doesn't exactly bode well. It will be worth looking out for more info on the severity of his issue and for updates on his progress leading up to the opener.

Caleb Chapman - Sheds non-contact jersey Chapman (knee) was back in a regular practice jersey Thursday, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.

Impact Chapman sat out spring ball due to a knee issue dating back to last October, but he was back on a limited basis last week and appears to be a full participant now. That should clear any doubt whether or not he will be available for the opener as the junior aims to build on a brief 2020 campaign that saw him produce 14 catches for 197 yards and three touchdowns on 20 targets over three games.

Eli Stowers - Working as second-string tight end Stowers worked with the second-string offense Thursday, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.

Impact It's worth noting that Baylor Cupp (leg) is still limited in practice, which may be the reason Stowers is working with the second unit. Still, it does appear the freshman has quickly moved up the depth chart after transitioning from quarterback to tight end ahead of the 2021 campaign.

Baylor Cupp - Limited in drills Thursday Cupp was back in practice Thursday but was limited in drills, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.

Impact Cupp hasn't seen a lot of action over the last two years due to injuries and is still working his way back into the mix in full. The No. 1 tight end in the 2019 class, Cupp has plenty of upside as a pass catcher when healthy. It remains to be see what sort of shape he'll be in and whether or not he will be full-go for the opener. Even if that's the case, Jalen Wydermyer is the clear No. 1 on the Aggies' depth chart going into the season.

Zach Calzada - Works with first-team offense Calzada was spotted working as the first-team quarterback Wednesday, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.

Impact Considering it's within two weeks of the season opener, it's possible Calzada has taken the lead in the quarterback race based on his appearance with the first-team Thursday. the sophomore appeared in three games for the Aggies back in 2019 and completed half of his 24 pass attempts for 133 yards and a 2:1 TD:INT ratio. He's and Haynes King are the two signal-callers duking it out for the starting job.

Caleb Chapman - Sporting non-contact jersey in practice Chapman (knee) is wearing a non-contact jersey in practice, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.

Eli Stowers - Shifts to tight end Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher said Sunday that Stowers has been moved from quarterback to tight end ahead of training camp, Brent Zwerneman of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The Aggies could revisit moving Stowers back to quarterback at some point later in 2021, but with only Haynes King and Zach Calzada in legitimate contention to replace NFL-bound starter Kellen Mond under center, the true freshman will change positions in an effort to gain playing time in his first year in College Station. Stowers' size (6-foot-4, 215 pounds) and athleticism should help him in the transition, but he'll still be hard pressed to find consistent snaps at tight end behind Jalen Wydermyer, who tallied 46 receptions for 506 yards and six touchdowns as a sophomore in 2020.

Jalen Wydermyer - Active in camp Wydermyer (finger) participated in Friday's practice as part of fall camp, TexAgs.com reports.

Impact Wydermyer missed the Aggies' spring program after he underwent finger surgery due to a "freak off-field accident," but he appears to be healthy heading into fall camp. The tight end hauled in 46 receptions for 506 yards and six touchdowns in 2020 and should play a significant role at Texas A&M once again.
