Over 2,000 players have entered the transfer portal within the first 12 hours of opening. Texas A&M has lost key stars to the draft and many depth pieces post 2025 season.
With the transfer portal fully underway, the Texas A&M Aggies are firmly in the race for a plethora of elite talent across the nation as Mike Elko and his staff look to reload key positions ahead of the 2026 season.
There’s word that one of the Texas A&M veterans will be returning to play football in Aggieland. It’s junior safety Marcus Ratcliffe, who told Aggie Sports 365 that he would be coming back to play for the Aggies and coach Mike Elko next season, which is exciting news for a familiar face to be back in the locker room.
The Texas A&M Aggies continued their trend of losing pieces on the defensive side of the ball, now with another player opting to enter the transfer portal, marking another loss to their secondary pieces for the future.
With the transfer portal signing period opening earlier this morning, Texas A&M football has lost quite a handful of its reserve talent this offseason.
Kevin Sumlin is back on the sidelines as a football head coach. Not for Texas A&M, but for a team he donned the headset for once before, the Houston Gamblers of the United Football League (UFL).
Another Aggie is heading to the 2026 NFL Draft in Ar'Maj Reed-Adams, an offensive lineman who was incredible during his six years of college football. Reed-Adams, a captain for the Aggies, will be greatly missed as he departs from Aggieland.
The Texas A&M Aggies are one of the top schools in recruiting on defense. Led by head coach Mike Elko, he knows how to attract players to College Station and, more importantly, develop them once they arrive.
If you asked any Texas A&M fan to name the team’s biggest weakness this season, field goal kicking would be at the top of the list. A&M finished as the worst kicking team in the SEC and one of the worst in the country, converting just 61.54% of its field goal attempts.
Where might the Aggies be looking to add pieces in the offseason? Perhaps it is at the edge position, as there are going to be big shoes to fill, as it is expected that Cashius Howell will be entering his name into the NFL Draft, which leaves Dayon Hayes, T.J.
ESPN host Rece Davis took a shot at Johnny Manziel over the whole “GameDay” incident. Manziel was scheduled to be the guest picker on “GameDay” last weekend ahead of the College Football Playoff game between Texas A&M and Miami.
