There is some good news regarding Texas A&M’s transfer portal woes, as cornerback Deuce Harmon, who entered the portal on Friday, is still reportedly open to returning to the program during the Aggies transition period with new head football coach Mike Elko.
Harmon recorded 18 tackles, 13 solo tackles, one interception, and seven pass deflections in nine games this season and was a consistent force on the outside when healthy. Still, due to the secondary’s lack of depth and size, he was left on an island too many times. Joining fellow starting CB Tyreek Chappell, Harmon’s announcement created a giant void within the cornerback room quicker than many of us anticipated.
So far, five players in the secondary will depart, including senior safety Demani Richardson and senior cornerback Josh DeBerry, who have used up their remaining eligibility.
I have not closed the door on returning back to A&M.

Elko and his staff are poised to add several starting-level secondary players from the portal in the coming weeks. However, potentially holding on to Harmon, who really began to come into this own in the final three weeks of the 2023 season, should remain a top priority.
In his Aggies career, Harmon has accumulated 46 tackles, eight pass breakups, and two interceptions. He has two seasons of eligibility left.
