Texas A&M’s 2025 offseason is off to a solid start amid the Aggies’ disappointing 1-4 finish to the 2024 season, as coach Mike Elko is determined to build the roster to his liking and add substantial depth at every position of need.
After losing to Texas in the regular season finale, Elko and his staff immediately took advantage of the growing number of talented transfer portal additions.
The staff focused on adding talent to the wide receiver corps, depth in the secondary, and replacing NFL-bound defensive linemen Nic Scourton, Shemar Turner, and Shemar Stewart.
In just one month, the Aggies have added 12 portal additions, led by landing NC State transfer wide receiver KC Concepcion, who looks like the team’s No. 1 receiver option after losing veteran Noah Thomas to the Georgia Bulldogs.
Two months before the spring football season, Athlon Sports writer Steven Lassen named Texas A&M as one of six transfer portal winners, joining Ole Miss, LSU, Auburn, Texas Tech, and Florida State.
“The Aggies met their needs on the offensive side, landing former five-star prospect Micah Hudson (Texas Tech) and a pair of productive receivers in Mario Craver (21.7 yards per catch at Mississippi State in ’24) and Kevin Concepcion (124 catches in two seasons at NC State).
Former Georgia defensive back Julian Humphrey and slot cornerback Jordan Shaw (Washington) are critical pickups to address a secondary that allowed 20 touchdown passes in ’24. Restocking the trenches was another priority with Shemar Turner, Nic Scourton, and Shemar Stewart off to the NFL. The pickups of Dayon Hayes (Colorado), Tyler Onyedim (Iowa State), and T.J. Searcy (Florida) add much-needed depth and talent up front.”
Lassen covered every detail about the Aggies’ offseason achievements. Although Elko still requires a few more additions to feel completely secure with the roster, the program is doing exceptionally well following an impressive transfer portal haul so far.
