5 Texas A&M players that Alabama could pursue if they enter the transfer portal

Last weekend, Texas A&M decided to part ways with head coach Jimbo Fisher. After almost two years of rumors that Fisher was on the outs, the rumors came to fruition the morning after the Aggies’ 51-10 win over Mississippi State.

Texas A&M is now in the process of finding a new head coach for the long term. As far as the short-term is concerned, the Aggies have promoted co-defensive coordinator and associate head coach Elijah Robinson to interim head coach.

The biggest effect that Fisher’s departure will have is on the recruiting landscape as well as the transfer portal. The official date that players can enter the transfer portal is Dec. 4. Instead of that being the date, current Aggies will now have a 30-day window to enter the transfer portal.

In the past, Alabama had some pretty heated recruiting battles with Texas A&M. There are several players on Texas A&M’s roster that Alabama would certainly love to have in the future.

Roll Tide Wire takes a look at five Aggies players that Alabama could pursue if they were to enter the transfer portal.

One of Texas A&M’s gems from the 2021 recruiting class was Evan Stewart. The current sophomore has been stellar through his first two seasons in College Station. Before Stewart enrolled at Texas A&M, he was targeted by the Alabama coaching staff. The Crimson Tide hosted Stewart for an unofficial visit several months before he announced his commitment to the Aggies.

Soon, it could be Alabama’s turn to kick the tires on the Texas native. That is if Stewart decided to test the waters in the transfer portal. His skill set and playmaking ability are eerily similar to that of former Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams. There is no doubt that Alabama would welcome a player with Stewart’s caliber on board if he becomes available.
