On Sunday morning, Pro Football Focus released its top 10 list of highest-graded transfer edge rushers at the FBS level and one of Mike Elko‘s biggest portal additions was ranked near the top.
Nic Scourton transferred to Texas A&M from Purdue in early January and he was slotted pretty high on the list. The junior defensive end and outside linebacker was ranked No. 2 with an 82.8 grade.
The only player that Scourton trailed on the list is Miami junior DE Elijah Alston with a 91.4 grade. Alston transferred to South Beach from Marshall but nearly chose Aggieland instead.
Texas A&M offered Alston on Dec. 22 and he chose College Station over Georgia on Jan. 8. However, only 22 hours later, Alston re-opened his recruitment and ultimately committed to the Hurricanes on Jan. 12.
Also on the list from third to tenth: B.J. Green II from Colorado (80.0), Trey Moore from UTSA (78.3), Tyler Baron from Louisville (78.0), Caiden Woullard from Oklahoma (77.9), Tre Smith from Arizona (77.7), Mikail Kamara from Indiana (76.8), Pricely Umanmielen from Ole Miss (76.4) and Devean Deal from TCU (74.9).
