Texas A&M's Kiotti Armstrong made an unforgettable grab during the team's 14th preseason practice, showcasing his impressive size and receiving skills.
Redshirt freshman TE Kiotti Armstrong is a name to watch for the Aggies this season, given his 6'5", 285-pound frame and improved receiving skills. Armstrong's catch in traffic, off a perfectly thrown deep ball from starting quarterback Marcel Reed, has caught the attention of the media team and fans alike.
The tight end room, led by senior Micah Riley, one of the program's five team captains, will be tough to replace as a blocker and receiver. Riley is highly dependable as a blocker and should take a step as a receiver in the short and intermediate passing game.
However, with the depth and NFL talent at wide receiver, the 2026 tight end doesn't need to light up the scoreboard. Armstrong's impressive catch has sparked hope that he can become a serviceable receiver and improve as an inline blocker.
Texas A&M's passing attack, combined with the new offensive line gelling early in the year, will be nearly impossible to slow down if Armstrong can continue to make plays like his moon ball catch. New OC Holmon Wiggins has the potential to utilize Marcel Reed's dual-threat skill set, making the Aggies' offense a force to be reckoned with.
Armstrong's impressive size and receiving skills make him a valuable asset to the team. His ability to come down with the ball in traffic is a testament to his growth as a player.
The Aggies are close to solidifying the final depth chart before hosting Missouri State on Saturday, Sept. 5. With Armstrong making plays like his impressive catch, the team's offense is looking strong heading into the new season.
Texas A&M's 2026 season opener is just around the corner, and the team is looking to make a statement. With Armstrong's impressive catch and the new offense, the Aggies are poised to make a run in the conference.
