In the class of 2020, not many recruits were more highly touted than Demond Demas. The 6-foot-3 wide receiver was the #4 wide receiver in the nation, and #3 overall recruit in the state of Texas, and his decision to attend Texas A&M was a glimpse into the future of potential for A&M on the recruiting trail.

Unfortunately for Demas and for A&M, his two years in Aggieland haven’t lived up to the billing. He has never able to grasp a consistent role on the field, and faced off-field concerns for multiple situations including charges related to assault of his girlfriend, which led to a suspension for the program this spring.
Combine those scenarios with the fact that in the 2021 and 2022 recruiting classes A&M added 2 5-star and 2 4-star WR recruits while retaining veterans like Ainias, the writing on the wall seemed clear that Demas would continue to have trouble establishing himself as a mainstay in the Aggies offense.
On Monday night, Demas announced that he would be entering the transfer portal via a statement on twitter. He called playing for A&M a “dream come true”, and said that the decision was “not an easy one” because of everything that comes with playing for A&M, but that he looked forward to the future chasing his “dream of being an NFL wide receiver.”
