Texas A&M loses Transfer Portal WR Caullin Lacy To Louisville

Former South Alabama WR Caullin Lacy has announced that he will transfer to Louisville instead of Texas A&M.

Texas A&M has struck out yet again in the transfer portal, as highly productive former South Alabama wide receiver Caullin Lacy will instead transfer to Louisville after many believed that the Aggies were the clear-cut favorite to land the veteran route runner.

Lacy is coming off his productive 2023 season, ranked 5th in the country in receptions (91) and yards with 1,316, including seven touchdown receptions. For reference, this season combined, Lacy recorded more yards than both of the Aggies’ leading receivers, Ainias Smith and Evan Stewart (1,309).

While the Aggies have landed a wide receiver in the portal with former Old Dominion WR Javon Harvey, adding one of the more dynamic playmakers to what should be an already talented and experienced wide receiver rotation would have been a luxury. However, with Ainias Smith headed to the 2024 NFL Draft, it looks like Harvey won’t have any competition to earn a spot in the lineup.

While wide receivers Evan Stewart, Moose Muhammad III, Noah Thomas, and Jahdae Walker are expected to return, replacing Smith’s snaps in the slot is why new head coach Mike Elko and his staff fielded offers to several Transfer Portal wide receivers outside of Lacy, including Ja’Mori Maclin, who instead committed to Kentucky.

Texas A&M still has a chance to land former Louisiana Tech WR Cyrus Allen, competing with fellow programs, including Mississippi State.
