Texas A&M junior wide receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman left practice early on Thursday afternoon after taking a collision on a downfield catch.

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 a lethal Texas A&M receiving core last season, finishing third on the team in receptions (24), receiving yards (503), and receiving touchdowns (5).

With KC Concepcion heading to the NFL draft, the Aggie offense has a potential question mark in the WR room. Mario Craver will presumably fill the lead receiving role, but Craver’s unique skill set is best weaponized in shorter, RAC-friendly routes.

This leaves Bethel-Roman and his top-tier speed as the likely option to be Texas A&M’s deep threat. With the increased opportunity and a quality offense to support him, Bethel-Roman could be primed for a breakout season.

Bethel-Roman left practice after he hit the ground hard on a deep route. The team gave no update, but he did not return to practice, per Carter Karels of GigEm247.
