Utah offensive coordinator Dave Christensen has accepted an offer to join Texas A&M as its offensive line coach/run game coordinator, a source told FOX Sports on Thursday afternoon.

The 53-year-old Christensen, a former head coach at Wyoming for five seasons and a longtime assistant to Gary Pinkel at Missouri, replaces former Aggies O-line coach B.J. Anderson, who was not retained at Texas A&M. In his one season with the Utes, Christensen took an offense that ranked No. 71 in rushing offense in 2013 and improved it to No. 40 this year. Utah also went from No. 66 in scoring up to No. 50.

The news of Christensen's hire at A&M was first reported by 1280 The Zone in Utah.
