After a week of Jimbo Fisher being fired, even more names are emerging to enter the portal. A&M has one of the most talented rosters, with many players who could get more playing time at other schools. Here are five more players to watch, this time all true-freshman.
1. RB Rueben Owens
El Campo, TX
Coming out of high school Owens was the premier rusher
in all of the nation coming into College Station. I had him as one of
my breakout freshmen at the beginning of the season, but it just
hasn’t materialized. While he has gotten more carries recently, being the lead back for the Abilene Christian game, he should have been given more touches earlier.
Owens only has 88 carries on the season rushing for 338 yards and three scores. I’m not sure he is too happy
about that. While he is a Texas kid at heart, I would keep an eye on
this elite talent.
2. CB Bravion Rogers
La Grange, TX
The 2023 Under Armour All-American came in as one of
the best corners in the country. While that may be true, he has only
seen action in only five games amassing one tackle and pass breakup for the
entire season. While he may redshirt and stay home, he is a prime
candidate to look elsewhere.

3. WR Raymond Cottrell
Milton, FL
This one is the easiest as of this weekend. Unlike the
others, it has already been confirmed that Cottrell has entered his
name in the portal. He was a big-time prospect out of the Sunshine
State, and I fully expect him to look for someplace closer to home.
4. WR Micah Tease
Tulsa, OK
The speedster from Oklahoma was another composite four-star recruit for the Aggies. I will say the WR
room was very crowded, which held Tease to six appearances on special teams.
With that being said, Tease has major talent
and might be looking towards back home to someplace like Oklahoma? It’s not hard to see why, and they seem to fit his
style of play very well. Oklahoma State has also played well this
year, so I’d definitely keep a lookout on him.
5. QB Marcel Reed
Nashville, TN
The Mr. Football in Tennessee, Reed was a do-it-all player for Montgomery Bell Academy. This season
though he has only seen action in the two games, and that is with
multiple quarterbacks getting a chance to start.
Up until
the early signing period, Reed was an Ole Miss commit, but he
ultimately flipped to the Aggies on December 19th. He has surreal talent, and if he chooses to leave he will
not be short on suitors for his services.
