COLLEGE STATION, Texas (Talk1370.com) -- Texas A&M University has named Mike Elko, head coach at Duke University and former Texas A&M defensive coordinator, as its new head football coach.

Elko will be officially welcomed Monday afternoon, according to a release from A&M athletics director Ross Bjork.


"Coach Mike Elko is one of the best leaders and coaches in college football and has had high-level success at each stop of his career," Bjork said. "He is known amongst coaching circles as one of the best defensive minds in the country and has shown his ability to lead and turn around a program as a Power 5 head coach."

In his two seasons at Duke, Elko led the Blue Devils to back-to-back bowl games and was named the 2022 ACC Coach of the Year with a 9-4 record including a bowl victory over UCF.

Before moving to Duke, Elko served as A&M's defensive coordinator and safeties coach from 2018-21, helping the Aggies finish with four straight bowl trips and an overall record of 34-14.
