No. 9 Tennessee (7-2, 4-2 SEC) enters Week 11 of the 2026 football season. Texas A&M (4-5, 1-5 SEC) will host the Vols on Saturday.

Kickoff between the Vols and Aggies is slated for 3 p.m. EST at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas (ESPN).

Trooper Taylor is in his third season as Texas A&M's associate head coach on offense and running backs coach. He served as Tennessee's running backs coach (2004-05) and wide receivers coach (2006-07) under head coach Phillip Fulmer.

Tennessee won the SEC East division in 2004 and 2007.

After Taylor's stint with the Vols, he served as Oklahoma State's co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach in 2008, assistant head coach and wide receivers coach at Auburn (2009-12), cornerbacks coach at Arkansas State (2013-18) and Duke's wide receivers (2019-20), cornerbacks (2021) and running backs (2022-23) coach.

He was Duke's interim head coach for the Birmingham Bowl on Dec. 23, 2023. The Blue Devils defeated Troy, 17-10, at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama.
