Texas A&M Transfer Portal Class Breakdown

With the 2023 college football season coming to a close and the transfer portal season well underway, Texas A&M’s first-year head coach Mike Elko hit the portal hard and has already brought in almost 20 transfer additions. With his class primarily highlighted by top-tier defensive talent, some may remember Elko’s four seasons as a defensive coordinator under Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M.

Now making his return to College State, let’s take a look at some of those transfer pieces Elko and the Aggies have added onto the roster early into the offseason.
