Texas A&M Football’s depth at running back was already very thin this season, but that depth took another hit as an Aggie running back entered the transfer portal.

Texas A&M Football has been hit with the injury bug early on in 2019.

Now, it is the transfer market that is hitting the Aggies.

This time it is Deneric Prince, a sophomore running back.

On the opening depth chart, Prince was listed as the fifth running back. Prince had just two carries last season for 21 yards, and was yet to have a carry this season.

Jashaun Corbin, the Aggies star sophomore running back, went down for the season with a hamstring injury against Clemson in the first half. Corbin’s absence is a major loss for both the Aggies’ offensive firepower as well as the Aggies depth at running back, which already did not look amazing following the departure of Trayveon Williams to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Isaiah Spiller was named the starter following Corbin’s season-ending injury, leaving Prince at fourth on the depth chart. Prince entering the transfer portal does not solidify his departure, as it only enables him to talk to other teams, but considering his nonexistent usage this season, him leaving is inevitable.

While Prince might not have made any impact this season, his loss still is another hit to the Aggies depth at running back.

Prince’s loss might not be big news now, but if the disastrous happens and Spiller goes down with an injury, then it would leave the Aggies with just two viable options at running back remaining on the depth chart. Additionally, it marks another Aggie that will not have the opportunity to make an impact with the program, even though Prince did not look due to be in a position to make an impact any time soon.
