TL;DR

Texas A&M is pursuing transfer guard Jayden Reid from Northwestern as the transfer portal opens. The team faces competition from several schools, including Auburn and Memphis, while looking to strengthen its roster after recent departures.

Texas A&M's first season under coach Bucky McMillan was, by most standards, a massive success after finishing 22-12, 11-7 in the SEC, while making the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year. On Tuesday, the transfer portal officially opened, and while McMillan hopes to retain the likes of forwards Mackenzie Mgbako and Zach Clemence, combined with veteran guard Marcus Hill, nothing is guaranteed.

As of Wednesday, junior guard Pop Isaacs is still on the roster, but could enter the portal any day, leading to McMillan and his staff contacting several transfer guards, now including former Northwestern standout Jayden Reid, who averaged 10.1 points per game and 5.1 assists, while shooting 39% from the field and nearly 32% from beyond the arc during his 2025 junior season.

Texas A&M will reportedly contend with Auburn, Memphis, VCU, Kansas State, Oregon, Utah, UCF, and Seton Hall for Reid's commitment, and after losing reserve guard Josh Holloway and Spanish sharpshooter Ruben Dominguez to the transfer portal, McMillan's roster is in desperate need of starting-level guards who can take over games when needed.

After scheduling a virtual Zoom meeting with VCU transfer guard Terrence Hill Jr., the Aggies have made some progress and are looking to host Reid and several other transfer guards/forwards in the coming weeks. This weekend's Texas A&M vs. Texas series will serve as a key opportunity to host.
