Texas A&M’s transfer portal targets at the wide receiver position have begun to come off the board. Former Kentucky WR Barion Brown will transfer to LSU after three seasons with the Wildcats, bringing speed and an immediate veteran presence to the Tigers locker room.
Strictly from an NFL Draft point of view, wide receivers continue to choose LSU, and it’s no surprise after producing multiple first-round picks at the postion over the last five years. For Texas A&M, Brown was never a realistic option, but credit to head coach Mike Elko for targeting and hosting nearly every top receiver from the portal over the last two weeks.
After hosting former Oklahoma WR Nic Anderson and former Texas Tech receiver Micah Hudson, the Aggies are confident they’ll land Hudson after a recent prediction. At the same time, Anderson will continue to take multiple visits before making a final decision.
Texas A&M is in a good position to land at least two wide receivers from the transfer portal before spring football starts in mid-March, but patience and trust in Elko and his staff is key.
