The environment was so toxic and Öhrström was so frustrated by how infrequently his number was called that he considered leaving. Elko and offensive coordinator Collin Klein convinced him to stay.
"In some cases with the old staff, they would overlook some character issues and stuff like that with guys just because they were good players," Öhrström said. "Evidently that wasn't the best way to go about things."
The new way involved Elko completely overhauling the Aggies roster. They prioritized "big people that move fast," explained Miller, saving scholarship offers for players who were hungrier to improve than to become famous.
In other words, people like Öhrström. He's motivated by the slim chance that he might one day catch passes in the NFL, Miller said, not by the riches on offer through NIL sponsorship deals.
Because of his European visa, Öhrström is the only Texas A&M starter who isn't earning a cent.
