Mario Craver’s time at College Station is pure gold. He is a Mississippi State transfer, and the recent matchup against his former team sure showed signs of Craver’s improvement. Craver led the Aggies with six catches for 80 yards. That includes a monster 42-yard grab that showcased his breakaway speed and playmaking flair. This performance pushed his season totals to 30 catches, 557 yards, and four touchdowns, while averaging a wild 18.6 yards per catch. During the one year playing for the Bulldogs, Craver’s stat line remained pretty bland compared to the Aggies.

He completed 23 receptions for 368 yards and scored 3 TDs; the difference is glaring. Craver’s transfer from Mississippi State to the Aggies was just fueled by the hunger to do better. Playing for the Bulldogs, he missed three games with injuries, faced a suspension, and his role in the offense became diminished. Thus, at Texas A&M, Craver found everything he was looking for. “I felt like last year, the team I was with, I felt like I wasn’t being utilized,” Craver said.

“So, I feel that when I came here, they had a plan for me, and like, that was my job. Scoring that first touchdown was definitely a full-circle moment for me.” On top of that, his immediate impact against UTSA was undeniable. I mean, eight catches, 122 yards, and two touchdowns in his first game with the Aggies showed he’d found the perfect home to unleash his talents.
