Texas A&M's board of regents announced a new six-year contract for athletic director Trev Alberts on Friday.

Financial terms were not disclosed for the deal. It will run through 2031 to coincide with the term of head football coach Mike Elko, who received an extension through the same season last week.

'As we navigate the changing college athletics landscape, Trev Alberts' professionalism, knowledge and business-minded approach is just what we need to compete boldly in the future,' said Tommy Williams, the university's interim president. 'His new, extended contract reflects our confidence in a leader who embodies our core values and understands the heartbeat of Aggie Athletics is the 12th Man.'

Alberts, 55, was hired away from Nebraska in March 2024 to replace Ross Bjork, who accepted the same position at Ohio State.

During his tenure, the Aggies' women's tennis team and the men's outdoor track and field team have won national titles.

Alberts, a former All-American linebacker at Nebraska, is currently overseeing a football team that is ranked No. 3 in the nation and is 10-0 (7-0 Southeastern Conference). With two games remaining on the regular-season schedule, the Aggies are poised for their first College Football Playoff appearance.

Elko said Alberts has been key to the success of the football program.

'We're building something special here at Texas A&M, and my partnership with Trev is an integral part of that,' Elko said. 'I've truly appreciated his leadership, especially the open dialogue he maintains with his coaches to gather feedback and elevate Texas A&M as one of the nation's premier brands. This contract ensures continuity in the momentum we've already created, and I'm excited about our future.'
