Texas A&M’s 2024 season ended at 8-4 and 5-3 in SEC play, mainly due to inconsistency on offense, especially in the passing game. Amid OC Collin Klein’s first season, the Aggies lacked playmakers at wide receiver, especially downfield speed.
While the Aggies still have a bowl game on the horizon, coach Mike Elko and his staff are already looking to fill spots on the 2025 roster, needing to add substantial depth at wide receiver to give starting quarterback Marcel Reed more options through the air.
From a speed perspective, the news that Kentucky WR and former track star Barion Brown entered the transfer portal could, and according to On3’s Pete Nakos, Texas A&M, alongside Florida State, Ole Miss, and LSU, are the “teams to watch” for the junior speedster.
During his three-year career with the Wildcats, Brown was the program’s most productive offensive weapon, accounting for 1,485 kick return yards and five touchdowns.
As a receiver, Brown recorded 122 receptions, 1,528 yards, and 11 touchdowns, while his best season came during his 2022 freshman season (50 receptions, 628 yards, four touchdowns).
If the Aggies reel in the productive playmaker, A&M’s passing game will improve significantly and provide Marcel Reed more room to grow in the pocket.
