Texas A&M’s transfer portal departures now feature one of the more surprising additions this offseason. Junior wide receiver Noah Thomas has entered the portal after three seasons under coaches Jimbo Fisher and Mike Elko.
Thomas’s Aggies career was promising from the jump, as the former high school standout was compared to Texas A&M HOF receiver Mike Evans due to his 6-6 frame and large catch radius. However, injuries and changes to the offense hampered Thomas’s ability to become the No. 1 receiving option.
Still, Thomas delivered during what is now his final season with the Aggies under the guidance of offensive coordinator Collin Klein, recording a career-high and team-leading 39 receptions, 574 yards, and eight touchdowns, including a 73-yard touchdown in A&M’s win over Arkansas.
Thomas will end his A&M career just 16 yards shy of the century mark (984), and will look to become the clear cut No. 1 wide receiver for the next program he chooses. This news wasn’t a complete shock for Mike Elko, given the three wide receiver additions from the portal, including NC State transfer KC Concepcion.
However, losing Thomas’s size and experience does hurt a young WR corps, meaning Elko and his staff will likely need to add one more receiver similar to Thomas’s long frame.
