Following the departure of versatile senior Ainias Smith for the 2024 NFL Draft, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko began to search for the team’s next big playmaker in the transfer portal.
The Aggies may have secured that player to begin the week as redshirt sophomore wide receiver Javon Harvey announced his transfer from Old Dominion to Texas A&M in the portal via X on Monday afternoon.

At 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds, Harvey brings versatility to College Station. He is a great route runner with soft hands as a wideout and can also contribute on special teams. Harvey was a 2-star prospect coming out of Lake Taylor High School in Norfolk, Va.
Harvey appeared in 38 total games for the Monarchs over four seasons. In 2019, he suited up in four contests and played primarily on special teams to maintain his redshirt status.
Over the last two seasons, Harvey hauled in 59 receptions for 949 yards and eight touchdowns. In 2023, he played in nine games for Old Dominion, starting in seven, tallying totals of 29 catches for 391 yards and four touchdowns.
Harvey comes to College Station with two years of eligibility remaining following his redshirt season in 2019 and not playing in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
