Productive Texas A&M guard enters transfer portal amid waiver wait

Portal season is chaotic enough on its own, but when you add in shifting NCAA eligibility rules, roster building becomes a moving target every offseason. For Texas A&M, that uncertainty now includes one of its key contributors, who sits in limbo while waiting on an NCAA ruling.

On Monday, it was announced that Aggie guard Marcus Hill has entered the transfer portal. His situation, however, is far from a typical departure. Hill is open to remaining at Texas A&M, but because he is entering what would be his fifth season, he must receive an NCAA waiver to return. Entering the portal allows him to protect himself and evaluate options while the NCAA reviews his case.

The former NC State transfer was a spark plug for the Aggies this season, carving out a role with his ability to attack the basket and finish through contact. In a system built on rotation and depth, Hill averaged 10.3 points per game on 48.3% shooting, highlighted by a career‑high 25 points against SMU. He proved he can score at a high clip when needed and became one of A&M’s most reliable creators off the dribble.

If his waiver is approved, there is a strong chance Hill returns to Aggieland. But in the NIL era, opportunity and financial incentives can shift quickly if another program presents a larger role or a stronger offer, that could be difficult to pass up.

For now, the situation remains on pause as Hill, Texas A&M, and interested programs wait for the NCAA’s decision.

Below is his announcement.
