Texas A&M’s 2024 season ended at a disappointing 8-4 and 5-3 in SEC play after losing three out of their last four games, including the season finale 17-7 loss to rival Texas in the revival of the Lone Star Showdown.
On Wednesday, the Aggies signed 24 players in the 2025 recruiting class, including flipping two former Missouri commits, five-star offensive tackle Lamont Rogers, and four-star running back Jamorian Morrow, while five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles surprisingly signed, squashing previous reports.
However, eight players have now entered the transfer portal, led by quarterbacks Conner Weigman and Jaylen Henderson, while three defensive linemen who received little playing time, including Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy, Malick Sylla, and now Samu Taumanupepe.
Over his last two seasons, the 350-pound lineman appeared in less than five games. He was virtually buried on the depth chart, while his overall fit within head coach Mike Elko and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman’s system never meshed.
Taumanupepe has three seasons of eligibility remaining.
