The announcement brings clarity to the direction of the program as Shuttleworth enters his first full cycle at the helm. His staff features a balance of returning personnel and fresh additions, each chosen for their player-development strengths and alignment with his vision.

Building a Modern Aggie Program

Shuttleworth emphasized continuity on both sides of the ball while also bringing in coaches known for innovation in recruiting and game planning. The new roles include coordinators, position coaches, and specialists who have experience in high-pressure conferences.

For Houston’s massive base of Texas A&M alumni and fans, the staff reveal signals that the program is stabilizing and gearing up for long-term growth. Many of the appointments reflect Shuttleworth’s commitment to improving player performance, raising consistency, and leaning into modern schemes designed to maximize efficiency.
