Texas A&M’s 2026 offseason began just minutes after the Aggies’ 10-3 loss to Miami in the first round of the College Football Playoff on Saturday afternoon, forcing head coach Mike Elko to quickly reflect on the defeat and prepare for the opening of the transfer portal on January 2.

So far, seven Texas A&M players have announced their plans to enter the transfer portal, including defensive ends Rylan Kennedy and Solomon Williams, who would likely have seen more playing time next season. However, nothing is guaranteed in today’s college football landscape, and potential NIL deals at other landing spots usually result in veteran players at least testing the portal.

While nearly every one of the Aggies’ transfer losses isn’t surprising, an eighth addition has entered the chat, as junior tight end Theo Melin Öhrström will reportedly enter his name into the portal after three seasons with the program. A native of Stockholm, Sweden, it’s been quite the journey covering the international player, who, despite a tough learning curve, continued to improve every season.

After reeling in ten receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns during the 2024 season, Melin Öhrström caught 19 passes for 168 yards and one score this season, while his inline blocking improved after working with tight ends coach Christian Ellsworth, who followed Collin Klein to Kansas State earlier this month.

Could Melin Öhrström follow his former OC and TE coach to K-State? It’s possible, but focusing on Texas A&M, incoming sophomore Kiotti Armstrong is the name to watch heading into the 2026 season, while Mike Elko will likely need to add at least one tight end from the portal.
