Texas A&M is expected to hire Kansas State offensive coordinator Collin Klein to lead the Aggies’ offense under new head coach Mike Elko, according to Tim Fitzgerald of 247Sports.
Klein, the former Wildcats quarterback, has been coaching for nearly 10 years. The 2012 Heisman Trophy finalist started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at KSU in ‘14 before becoming the quarterbacks coach at Northern Iowa in ’16.

In ’17, Klein returned to KSU to become the Wildcats’ quarterbacks coach before going on to add offensive coordinator duties within the last two seasons in Manhattan, Kansas. Klein joins the Aggies’ staff after he emerged as one of the top offensive coordinators on the market and drew interest from Notre Dame in ’22, according to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg.
As KSU’s quarterback, Klein threw for 4,724 yards, 30 touchdowns and 15 interceptions while completing 61.3% of his passes. He also rushed for 2,485 yards and 56 touchdowns.
Texas A&M hired Elko from Duke on Nov. 27 to replace former Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher.
