Texas A&M junior tight end Jalen Wydermyer is one of the best players at his position in Aggie history. Today he continued to further etch his name in the program’s record books.

Watch as he catches the beautiful 11-yard dime from quarterback Zach Calzada in the corner of the end zone.

The touchdown catch put the Aggies up 7-3 in the game. It was the talented tight end’s 13th touchdown catch of his storied Aggie career.

Not only that, Wydermyer now currently ranks 10th all-time in Texas A&M history touchdown catches.

Check out the graphic below from Texas A&M.

The gifted tight end was named preseason first team All-SEC for the 2021 season and is one of the best players at his position in the country. The touchdown catch in Saturday’s game was his first of the 2021 season.

He missed the 2021 spring season after having surgery on his finger. Wydermyer cut his finger after a freak off-the-field incident, according to head coach Jimbo Fisher.

The gifted prospect is currently one of the top tight end prospects on Mel Kiper’s 2022 NFL Draft Big Board, coming in as the second ranked tight end.

In 2020, Wydermyer finished as a Mackey Award finalist, given to the nation’s top tight end. In 2019, he earned freshman All-American honors.
