Four Star Receiver Adrian Wilson Reveals Thoughts on New Look Texas A&M Staff
Four-star Oregon commit Adrian Wilson has several offers to play wide receiver at colleges like TCU, Oklahoma, Alabama, Baylor, and SMU. But despite being committed to the Ducks, he is still considering his options.
The Texas A&M Aggies remain in the conversation with Wilson with his recent visit. The 6'1, 170-pound receiver has family ties to the NFL with his cousin, Tyree Wilson, drafted No. 7 overall to the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023.
Wilson has caught the eye of several college programs for his success at Weiss High School with 60 receptions and over 1,000 yards with 14 touchdowns in 2023. The year prior, he hauled in 29 balls for 543 yards, and eight touchdowns.
Wilson recently competed in the All-American Bowl Game joining the nation's top 100 football players.
“I went back to A&M recently and it was great,” Wilson told On3 in an interview. “Coach Wiggins has been reaching out to me already about getting me back out to campus.”
With the shifts in many coaching staffs across college football sometimes comes a change of heart amongst commits. Wilson decided to go back to A&M to hear from first-year coach Mike Elko and the new-look Aggies.

“It’s a whole different staff,” Wilson told On3. “From Coach (Dameyune) Craig to Coach Wiggins, it’s a stronger relationship. Wiggins — he always has a smile on his face, he’s already ready to shake hands and talk with parents, and I love to hear that, and he’s definitely a big part of this.”
Holmon Wiggins joined Elko's staff this past January, taking on the roles of co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach. Prior to joining A&M, Wiggins spent five seasons at Alabama, where he served as the wide receivers coach and, in the last three seasons, as the assistant head coach of offense.
While in Tuscaloosa, Wiggins played a pivotal role in the success of the Alabama team. In 2020, he coached DeVonta Smith to win both the Heisman Trophy and the Biletnikoff Award. Additionally, Wiggins contributed to the development of five first-round NFL Draft picks, including Jaylen Waddle (No. 6 overall), DeVonta Smith (No. 10), Henry Ruggs III (No. 12), Jameson Williams (No. 12), and Jerry Jeudy (No. 15).
