Mike Elko has made several impressive hires in his first season as Texas A&M's head football coach. The evidence is just how well they have recruited out of the transfer portal and the 2025 class, where they currently sit in the top 5 of the 247Sports rankings.

However, Elko is trying to build a specific culture at A&M that relies on toughness, accountability, and togetherness. A great place to cultivate and ingrain those traits in a program is the weight room. Elko eventuallyy strength and landed legendar conditioning guru Tommy Moffitt.

During this year's SEC Media Days not only did the Texas A&M players have great things to say about Moffitt. LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier had this to say about how Moffitt helped him during this time with him.

While strength and conditioning are only one aspect of a great team they still have to show up on the field and execute.  However, the one thing this Mike Elko team will not be lacking is mental toughness and physicality, thanks to the Moffitt Method.
