After beefing up its schedule earlier this week with a home-and-home series, Texas A&M basketball is also bolstering its roster with a key transfer portal addition.
On Tuesday afternoon shooting guard Jace Carter officially signed as the newest member of Aggies basketball. After announcing his intention to commit to the Maroon and White last week, Carter and the Aggies made the addition official with an announcement post shared on social media.
