Aggies H-Backs: A Look Ahead
The H-backs will be an important part of the Aggies' offensive plans in 2026. Their versatility offers great flexibility in alignments and personnel usage.
Effective run blocking, particularly on the edge, is essential for the H-backs. They must be able to handle head-up blocks and split zone assignments.
UTSA transfer Houston Thomas displays excellent movement skills, especially in drills. He plants well to make cuts and understands how to use his feet and hands to create separation. Thomas works his feet as a run blocker after contact to maintain an advantage. His build is similar to a big wide receiver, making technique and physicality key for in-line play.
Fresno State transfer Richie Anderson's pass routes differ from others in the group. His wider base helps him sustain blocks in the run game.
