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.
Amid head coach Mike Elko’s first season, plenty of issues, including the playcalling of OC Collin Klein, led to the underwhelming finish, but so did the lack of offensive playmakers and lack of depth at running back after star RB Le’Veon Moss was lost for the season.
Elko must replicate his transfer portal success last season while flipping several four——and five-star prospects ahead of early signing day.
However, Elko and his staff are also preparing for departures from the roster as the porta ramps up this month after the conclusion of every non-playoff contending team.
On Monday, two Aggies entered the transfer portal, starting with junior offensive lineman Aki Ogunbiyi, followed by redshirt sophomore defensive lineman Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy, who appeared in less than ten games since the 2022 season.
A former five-star prospect, Brownlow-Dindy’s talent and elite length are undeniable. Still, even under Elko and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman, the sophomore couldn’t climb up the depth chart and find a consistent place on the active D-line rotation.
Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy still has three years of eligibility remaining.
