How many players are on Texas A&M’s roster after landing junior guard Rylan Griffen?

New Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMillan has already exceeded expectations ahead of his first season with the program, bringing in eight commitments from the transfer portal after landing former Alabama and Kansas guard Rylan Griffen, beating out Alabama head coach Nate Oats, who was hoping to reunite with the sharpshooter.

Griffen’s skillset is borderline elite, and while he only averaged 6.3 points and 1.4 assists, and shot 33.6% from beyond the arc with the Jayhawks, his final season with the Crimson Tide included 11.2 points per game, 3.4 rebounds, and a 39.2% three-point shooting percentage.

On Thursday, former Texas Tech forward Federiko Federkio committed to the Aggies after attending Texas A&M’s baseball game vs. Lamar on Tuesday, and for those unaware of the Egypt-born big man’s play style, the Aggies won’t have to worry about rebounding and defensive effort on his end, while his inside game led by making nearly 75% of his shots last season. With the Aggies, Federiko looks like a starter.

However, just hours before Griffen’s commitment was announced, McMillan lost one of his first portal commitments, former Oklahoma guard Duke Miles, who may have seen the writing on the wall after Griffen entered the picture.

With the recent movement, Texas A&M now has nine players on the 2025 roster, but McMillan is not finished adding just yet. Still, it’s hard not to be impressed with the talent and experience he and his coaching staff have to work with, ranging from proven star power in Mackenzie Mgbacko to unproven, but potential big men who can stretch the floor in Zach Clemence and Jamie Vinson IV.

Here is the complete 2025 roster in its current state:
