Former Texas A&M OL Colton Thomasson has found a new home

Former Texas A&M OL Colton Thomasson is headed to Waco to join the Baylor Bears this season

This offseason, over 20 players entered the transfer portal. Still, just like former Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher’s final offseason in 2023, most of the transfers were either backups or first/second-year players looking for more playing time next season, including sophomore offensive tackle Colton Thomasson.

Thomasson, a promising four-star prospect from the 2023 recruiting class, stood out with his impressive physical attributes-standing at 6-8 and weighing nearly 300 pounds. Hailing from Spring Branch, Texas, he was expected to make a significant impact in College Station. However, with the departure of Jimbo Fisher and the arrival of the new Mike Elko regime, Thomasson decided to explore other opportunities, entering the transfer portal last week.

Looking to stay close to home in the Lone Star State, it has been announced that Colton is headed to Baylor for the 2024 season. Bears head coach Dave Aranda needs improvement in the trenches, especially at the tackle position.

We wish Colton all the best in his new football journey at Baylor for the 2024 season! We’re excited to see how he will contribute to the Bears under the guidance of head coach Dave Aranda.

Texas A&M sophomore offensive lineman Colton Thomasson enters transfer portal

“Thank you 12th Man. There is nothing quite like running through the tunnel onto Kyle Field and an honor I’ll never forget,” Thomasson said.

After only one year in College Station, a Texas A&M underclassman has decided to enter the transfer portal.

Sophomore offensive lineman Colton Thomasson announced his decision to enter the portal via social media on Wednesday afternoon.

“Thanks be to God for blessing me with the opportunity to play football at Texas A&M,” Thomasson stated on X. “To my teammates, you are my brothers forever. To my family and friends, I love you and appreciate all you’ve done for me.

“Thank you to the coaches and staff who have developed me during my time in College Station.

“Thank you, 12th Man, for your continued support and being the best fanbase in college football. There is nothing quite like running through the tunnel onto Kyle Field and an honor I’ll never forget.

“After much prayer and reflection, I am formally entering the transfer portal.”

Thomasson is 6-foot-8, 320 pounds and was a 4-star prospect coming out of Smithson Valley High School in Spring Branch, Texas. He appeared in only two games for the Aggies and enters the portal with four years of eligibility remaining after taking a redshirt season in 2023.

#AGGIELITE? 2023 Aggie commits turn to social media to reel in remaining prospects

#AGGIELITE? 2023 Aggie commits turn to social media to recruit for the class

Texas A&M’s 2023 recruiting class isn’t off to the best start, especially in comparison to what they accomplished during the 2022 cycle. First off, let me speak for Aggies everywhere when I say that having to witness Texas dominate the recruiting trail and poach a number of our preferred prospects while “Hook “Em!” and “All Gas, No Brake!” flow across social media isn’t the recipe for sports sanity.

Now, I am not in the business of guarantees, especially when it comes to recruiting, but with some of the most talented 2023 recruits still waiting to make their decision, current Texas A&M commits in the class turned to social media via Twitter using the hashtag #AGGIELITE, with one of the coolest cats in the recruiting class, Colton Thomasson, taking the lead while making his creative pitch to hopeful future signee, offensive lineman TJ Shanahan.

Another current 2023 class member and 4-Star linebacker Daymion Sanford joined in, sending a friendly reminder to his 5-Star defensive line Paetow High School teammate David “DJ” Hicks, who is currently at 100% odds to choose the Aggies according to 247Sports, and 59.7% according to On3.

Cornerback Bravion Rogers was the final member to make his pitch, targeting 5-Star Anthony Hill, the top linebacker in the 2023 class, who is presently choosing between Texas and Texas A&M, predicted at 100% Texas A&M in accordance with 247Sports, and 75.2 for On3.

Finally, Rogers made his final pitch to the Shiner, Texas product who in my humble opinion is the most versatile offensive weapon in the class, 2023 4-Star Running back Dalton Brooks. Brooks is currently projected at 100% for Texas A&M at 247Sports, and 98.5% at On3.

Michigan State football has been sending out plenty of offers to 2023 recruits the past few days. This now includes 2023 offensive lineman Colton Thomasson as he announced an offer from the Spartan football program.

Colton Thomasson stands at an absolutely impressive 6-foot-7 and weighs 330-pounds. He hails from Spring Branch, TX, where he currently plays for Smithson Valley high school. Right now, Thomasson is not ranked on 247Sports but I imagine this changes with time.

Earlier in July, he was named a MaxPreps 2020 PreSeason Sophomore Second-Team All-American. Michigan State is one of the first programs to make an offer to Colton Thomasson.

You can check out some of his highlights here.
