Texas A&M junior wide receiver leaves spring practice with injury

Texas A&M junior wide receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman left practice early Thursday afternoon after suffering a collision on a catch in the field.

Bethel-Roman entered Texas A&M as a 4-star recruit by all three recruiting services and was ranked 207th by ESPN. After taking a year to redshirt, he became a key part of Texas A&M’s lethal receiving core last season, finishing third on the team in receptions (24), receiving yards (503) and receiving touchdowns (5).

With KC Concepción headed to the NFL draft, the Aggie offense has a potential question mark in the WR room. Mario Craver will presumably fill the primary receiver role, but Craver’s unique skill set is best used as a weapon on shorter, RAC-friendly routes.

This leaves Bethel-Roman and his top-notch speed as the likely choice to be Texas A&M’s big threat. With more opportunities and a quality offense behind him, Bethel-Roman could be primed for a breakout season.

Bethel-Roman left practice after hitting the ground hard on a deep route. The team did not give any update, but did not return to practice, according to GigEm247’s Carter Karels.
