Aggies head coach Kevin Sumlin at Houston Touchdown Club

Sumlin shares his thoughts on the state of the program

HOUSTON – Texas A&M Aggies head ooach Kevin Sumlin was in Houston on Thursday to visit with supporters at the Houston Touchdown Club.

Sumlin met with the media and answered questions from the crowd at the annual luncheon.

As expected, Sumlin mentioned the race for a starting quarterback is still ongoing as they move through the summer and approach fall camp.

Jake Hubenak has the most experience and is ready to go. Sumlin acknowledged there was serious discussion about turning to Nick Starkel last season when starter Trevor Knight was injured and newcomer Kellen Mond is on the top recruits in the country.

Sumlin also thinks the defense has plenty on board to recover from and replace what they lost with elite pass rushers Myles Garrett and Daeshon Hall. Garrett was the number one overall selection the 2017 NFL draft.
