With a new head coach, comes a new coaching staff. And with a new coaching staff, comes a new scheme.

That is exactly what the Texas A&M Aggies are trying to implement right now in spring football alongside new head coach Mike Elko, new offensive coordinator Collin Klein, and new offenisve line coach, Adam Cushing.

In that new system, it appears there will be some positional shuffling along the offensive front under Cushing.

But according to left tackle Trey Zuhn, the line is adjusting quite well to the changes.

"Everyone is moving around. Everyone is playing multiple positions," Zuhn said. "It's a lot of different combinations right now, and you're playing next to someone different every single day. It's going well."

What that might look like remains to be seen. According to Zuhn, the focus right now for the Aggies is finding the best combination of fine up front.

In some programs, that might be a difficult task, but for the Aggies, their cohesion and chemistry is allowing for a smooth transition - at least so far.

And thanks to that, the results are showing up on the field.

"Everyone is doing what they need to do now. There is no real room for who's doing what vs. who's doing what. Everyone is doing the right thing, and it's showing up in football too because how you do anything is how you do everything."

Obviosuly from a Macro level, the Aggies have the focus of finding that best five, and what will work best to protect quarterback Conner Weigman on Saturdays.

As for Zuhn himself, he has some personal goals of his own as well. Most notably, he wants to improve his strength and speed, which, in turn, will help the Aggies be more affective on the ground.

"Personally, I am trying to work on my speed and my strength at the same time," Zuhn said. "I'm trying to focus on my stability and getting leverage on people in the run game."

Fans will get their first look at the new offensive line on April 20, when the Aggies take the field for their spring game at Kyle Field.
