Texas A&M's 2026 transfer portal class is nationally considered one of the best cycles after landing six commitments, led by former Kansas State shooting guard PJ Haggerty, who averaged nearly 24 points per game last season, and will serve as the program's go-to scoring option before heading to the NBA in 2027.
After his first season at the helm, coach Bucky McMillan has nearly completed a rebuild now, including elite talent and depth in the backcourt, as former NBA G-League guard Bryson Warren and LSU transfer guard Jalen Reece have also signed with the program, while the frontcourt is slowly but surely coming together after LMU transfer Jalen Shelley officially signed on Thursday.
Now knowing that forwards Mackenzie Mgbako, Zach Clemence, and Jamie Vinson are set to return, the addition of Shelley, who brings substantial size and versatility as a wing with the ability to cut inside and make plays near the rim, and if his three-point shooting percentage (28%) improves, Shelley will be one of the more unstoppable 3&D players in the SEC.
Needing at least one more veteran forward to add starting or reserve depth to an already taller roster that fits McMillan's fast-paced scheme, it's important to note that Texas A&M's making it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season with a roster completely from the transfer portal provides a blueprint for a more talented roster to make some noise in 2027.
