Texas A&M football’s three most impactful transfers to watch in 2026

After losing 14 players to the transfer portal and having 10 players selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, Texas A&M placed a major emphasis on hauling in some of the top talent in the nation to replace the production they lost.

Third-year head coach Mike Elko did just that by signing the No. 4 portal class in college football, which includes electric playmakers, physical linemen and powerful game-wrecking athletes who will look to make a splash in their first campaign donning the Maroon and White uniform.

In 2025, transfer standouts like KC Concepcion and Mario Craver helped lead the Aggies to their first 11-0 mark since 1992 and first-ever appearance in the College Football Playoff.

Here are three 2026 transfers who could make the biggest impact for Texas A&M this season:

1. Isaiah Horton (Alabama)

While Texas A&M’s 2025 wide receiving corps featured no shortage of speed and elusiveness, the one aspect the Aggies lacked was a big-bodied wideout who could beat man coverage and be a massive vertical threat. At 6-foot-4 and 208 pounds, Alabama transfer Isaiah Horton could be exactly what the Aggies’ offense needs in 2026.

Horton hauled in 42 receptions for 511 yards and eight touchdowns for the Crimson Tide last season, after spending his first three collegiate seasons with the Miami Hurricanes. The Nashville, Tennessee, native has the physical attributes and experience to be a breakout star for Texas A&M, alongside fellow Aggie wide receivers Mario Craver, Terry Bussey and Ashton Bethel-Roman.
