Nebraska AD Trev Alberts Considers Move to Texas A&M Amidst Critical Decision

Nebraska‘s athletic director, Trev Alberts, is at a critical juncture as he contemplates a move to Texas A&M, according to his assistant. The discussions with Texas A&M are reportedly in advanced stages, as revealed by a reliable source familiar with the negotiations.

Despite the progress, executive associate athletic director Doug Ewald shared that Alberts has yet to make a definitive decision as of Wednesday afternoon. The situation remains fluid and Alberts, a key figure at Nebraska, continues to weigh his options.

If Alberts were to accept the position at Texas A&M, he would step into the shoes of Ross Bjork, who recently departed to join Ohio State after five years as A&M’s athletic director.

Alberts, a standout linebacker for Nebraska in the early ’90s and a former NFL player with the Indianapolis Colts, transitioned to athletic administration following his playing career. He held the role of athletic director at the University of Nebraska-Omaha before assuming the position at Nebraska in 2021.

At Nebraska, Alberts led initiatives aimed at revitalizing the football program, including the replacement of head coach Scott Frost with Matt Rhule and overseeing major infrastructure projects such as the $175 million football building and a planned $450 million renovation of Memorial Stadium.

News of Alberts’ potential departure has caused a stir within the Nebraska athletic department, with key staff members taken by surprise at the prospect of his exit. This development would mark another high-profile departure in Nebraska’s leadership circles, following President Ted Carter‘s move to Ohio State and the retirement of Chancellor Ronnie Green.

As Alberts weighs this significant career decision, the college sports landscape eagerly anticipates the outcome of his deliberations, which could have far-reaching implications for both Nebraska and Texas A&M.
