New Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko has hit the ground running, focused on adding productive players from the transfer portal to counter the losses the roster has already sustained.
Focused on the cornerback position, 2023 starting CBs Tyreek Chappell and Deuce Harmon have both entered the portal, as the Aggies’ secondary will presumably lose five players in the secondary, including senior cornerback Josh DeBerry and senior safety Demani Richardson.
Elko has already secured a commitment from former Kansas State CB Will Lee III, and AggiesToday has now reported that former Oregon State cornerback Jarmon McCoy will follow in Lee’s footsteps and visit Elko and his staff on Friday, Dec. 15.
PORTAL NEWS: Oregon State transfer cornerback Jermod McCoy tells me he will be visiting Texas A&M on Friday.

Just below Will Lee, McCoy is the 5th-ranked cornerback in the transfer portal rankings and is coming off his impressive 2023 freshman season within one of the best defenses in the country, recording 31 tackles, two interceptions, and seven pass deflections on the year. Paired with Lee, McCoy would provide the Aggies with a solid 1-2 punch in the secondary.
