Texas A&M’s transfer portal haul now includes 18 commits, led by Alabama transfer wide receiver Isaiah Horton. After missing out on Auburn transfer wideout Cam Coleman, who committed to Texas, the Aggies possess one of the most complete wide receiver rotations in the country. While starting quarterback Marcel Reed is well-equipped next season, any success will start in the trenches.

With the NFL Draft declaration deadline up, five 2025 offensive linemen are off to the next level, including junior left guard Chase Bisontis, who would have likely returned if it weren’t for his first or second round draft grade. Needing at least four replacements, head coach Mike Elko and O-line coach Adam Cushing immediately went to work, adding LSU tackle Tyree Adams and LSU guard Coen Echols, who was once an A&M commit.

Further shoring up the depth chart, Alabama guard/tackle Wilkin Formby, along with veteran South Carolina guard Trovon Baugh, committed to the Aggies, as all four players will compete for starting spots heading into the spring practice period.

Texas A&M’s defensive line rotation was also thin entering the new year, but the new additions of Northwestern edge Anto Saka, San Diego State edge Ryan Henderson, and defensive linemen CJ Mims (North Carolina), Angelo McCullom (Illinois), and Colorado transfer Brandon Davis-Swain make this group look formidable on paper at the very least.

However, Texas A&M’s 2026 secondary has a chance to be one of the top cornerback/safety rotations in the SEC, as senior corners Dezz Ricks and Julio Humphrey will return, and combined with transfer corner Rickey Gibson, this group is primed to be in lockdown mode on nearly every passing play. At safety, Colorado transfer Tawfiq Byard is extremely versatile and one of the top coverage safeties, having not allowed a passing touchdown in over 500 coverage snaps.

While the Aggies could still add a running back, many, including myself, believe this group is all but complete, and, according to On3’s transfer portal rankings, is the fourth-ranked transfer cycle, and No. 1 among SEC programs, positioned below Virginia Tech (3), Texas Tech (2), and Indiana (1).

In today’s college football landscape, “adapt or die” is the prevailing mentality: either sink or stay above water. If adding double-digit transfers isn’t the first priority at the end of every season, relying on younger players usually results in an average-to-below-average season.
