​Texas A&M’s 2026 roster features 17 additions from the transfer portal, and after a record 10 players were selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, it’s clear that third-year coach Mike Elko’s hopes of making the College Football Playoff for the second straight season will hinge on starting quarterback Marcel Reed improving, while four new starting offensive linemen must develop early chemistry.Among the ten NFL rookies from the 2025 roster, wide receiver KC Concepcion, who led the Aggies in receiving yards (919) and touchdowns (9), paired with two punt return scores, was selected 24th overall by the Cleveland Browns, making junior Mario Craver, who reeled in an equally impressive 59 receptions for 917 yards and four touchdowns last season, Marcel Reed’s No. 1 receiver.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOne of the Aggies’ final transfer additions, former Alabama WR Isaiah Horton, brings much-needed size on the outside at 6’4″, pairing well with Craver’s elite speed, while Ashton Bethel-Roman, Terry Bussey, and freshman Aaron Gregory complete an elite receiver room.This week, ESPN’s Max Olson released his updated transfer portal player rankings, placing Isaiah Horton at No. 21 overall, followed by likely future starting right tackle and Alabama transfer Wilkin Formby at No. 61, while former Tennessee cornerback Rickey Gibson (No. 74) and Northwestern transfer edge Anto Saka (No. 89) round out the list.Rickey Gibson will compete for the No. 2 outside corner job, and after Cashius Howell, who led the SEC with 11.5 sacks, was selected in the second round by the Cincinnati Bengals, Anto Saka’s elite traits and perfect fit in Mike Elko’s defense make him one of the more intriguing offseason additions in the SEC.Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes and opinions. Follow Cameron on X: @CameronOhnysty.This article originally appeared on Aggies Wire: Four Texas A&M additions among ESPN’s best transfer portal players
