All-Conference Transfer Visits Texas A&M

Reynolds was Northern Colorado’s second leading scorer in the 2024-25 season and led the Bears to a share of the Big Sky regular season title and their first ever NIT appearance. He earned a spot on the All-Big Sky first team and capitalized on his career year by entering the transfer portal.

Northern Colorado has produced two notable high-major transfers in recent years and Reynolds seems poised to join that group. Former Tennessee star and current Los Angeles Lakers guard Dalton Knecht transferred from Northern Colorado. Knecht made a seamless transition to the SEC, as he averaged a career-high 21.7 points per game and won 2024 SEC Player of the Year. While Knecht was a more prolific scorer, Reynolds could follow a similar path to success in the SEC.

Last offseason, USC guard Saint Thomas transferred from Northern Colorado, making the jump to a major conference. While Thomas’ numbers aren’t as eye-popping as Knecht’s, he started each of USC’s 33 games this season and is another example of a Northern Colorado star successfully jumping to a high-major school.

Texas A&M will have to replace most of its senior-laden roster through the portal this offseason, regardless of who the head coach is. Guard sticks out as a position of need, which is why Reynolds is a priority target for the Aggies. Texas A&M will return almost none of its guard production in 2025, so Reynolds would be a significant signing.

If Williams does stay in College Station, Reynolds is exactly the type of guard that fits in his system. Reynolds is an explosive athlete and a solid rebounding guard, as he averaged 5.6 rebounds per game this season. These traits align with Texas A&M’s style of play, as the Aggies have prioritized physicality and rebounding under Williams. The 6-foot-4 Reynolds could fill the void left by guards Zhuric Phelps and Manny Obaseki, both of whom are out of eligibility.

Amidst the chaos of the coaching carousel, it is a good sign that the Aggies are staying active in the transfer portal. While it is not necessarily a sign that Williams is staying, it does show that Texas A&M will be a player in this year’s cycle. Texas A&M’s ability to remain a contender for top transfer prospects like Reynolds signals that the program is determined to remain competitive in the SEC.
