Texas A&M DB Jacoby Mathews plans to enter NCAA Transfer Portal

Texas A&M sophomore defensive back Jacoby Mathews plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal when the spring window opens, per Hayes Fawcett of On3.

Mathews has played in 20 games over two seasons with the Aggies, totaling more than 50 tackles from his safety spot.

As a recruit, he was the No. 32 overall prospect in the 2022 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranked as the nation’s No. 2 safety and the No. 1 recruit in Louisiana.

Texas A&M in the transfer portal

Following the 2023 season and the firing of head coach Jimbo Fisher, the Aggies saw 20 players leave the program. However, the hiring of head coach Mike Elko has seen the Aggies start to rebuild the roster and have the program competing again. Elko has brought in 23 players out of the transfer portal since his hiring.

Among the players Texas A&M added are Alabama transfer corner Dezz Ricks, Purdue edge Nic Scourton, and Bowling Green edge Cashius Howell, each of which are rated four-stars according to the On3 Industry rankings. The Aggies also lost a few players to the portal, including DL Walter Nolen (Ole Miss), WR Evan Stewart (Oregon), and DL LT Overton (Alabama).

Texas A&M’s transfer class is currently ranked No. 44 nationally by On3.
