NEWS NOW: Race for a Star: Oregon and Texas A&M Battle for Top Transfer

The transfer portal is buzzing with excitement as one of college football’s top wide receiver talents has quickly narrowed his choices to two programs: the Oregon Ducks and the Texas A&M Aggies. With the portal officially opening on Dec. 9, this sought-after playmaker has wasted no time identifying where his future might unfold. His decision is poised to send ripples through the college football landscape.

A former four-star recruit from the class of 2023, he showed flashes of brilliance despite limited opportunities this season. In just four games, he recorded eight receptions for 137 yards and two touchdowns. His freshman year wasn’t much different, tallying eight catches for 136 yards in seven games. Those numbers may seem modest, but his skill set suggests far greater potential, especially in the right system.

Oregon offers an enticing opportunity. The Ducks, currently the top-ranked team in the nation and defending Big Ten champions, are preparing for yet another dominant season in 2025. With senior wideouts Tez Johnson and Traeshon Holden likely heading to the NFL, Oregon is looking for fresh talent to complement its returning stars, including Evan Stewart, Gary Bryant Jr., and Justius Lowe. Adding this young wideout could fortify Oregon’s offense and keep the Ducks at the pinnacle of college football.

Closer to home, Texas A&M presents a compelling alternative. Located just a few hours from his hometown of DeSoto, Texas, the Aggies could offer a familiar environment while providing a platform for growth and development. A&M is working to rebuild and could use a dynamic talent to strengthen its offense and energize its fanbase.

Reports from On3’s Steve Wiltfong and Pete Nakos confirm that these two programs are leading the race for his commitment. With the portal open until Dec. 28, the clock is ticking, and his decision could significantly impact both teams heading into the next season. Wherever he lands, this young star is ready to leave his mark.
