Texas A&M Aggies news: Injury update, transfer QB moves, and more
Texas A&M's latest injury update
The Aggies listed Mario Craver as questionable on Wednesday night's report (roughly 50% chance to play, in other words), and that has not changed as of Thursday night. The one thing that has changed is the move of graduate OL Trovon Baugh from "doubtful" to "out", where he joins Terry Bussey, Kelshaun Johnson, and Blake Ivy.
There were no new additions to the injury report for the Aggies, who saw WR Ashton Bethel-Roman be added to the report for the South Carolina game on the Thursday of that week. There were also no new additions for the Tennessee Volunteers, who are still set to miss seven players (including their sack leader in Tyree Weathersby).
Craver's status remains a big concern for the Aggies, who will need every bit of help they can get for this game against the Volunteers on Saturday. A&M is hoping to knock off Heupel's top-10 squad with a big game on Saturday, and Craver is one of the most explosive athletes on a team that is in desperate need of that quality.
Bucky Ball's first big win of 2026-2027
In case you missed it, Bucky McMillan's new-look squad absolutely dominated the Oklahoma State Cowboys last night in Reed Arena. This was some much-needed payback for the Aggies, who got cut down to size by the Pokes last year up in Stillwater early on in the season, being on the wrong end of a blowout in that one.
After dispatching with some lower-level competition early in the year, this was the Aggies' first big win of the season thus far. Texas A&M has been floating around the rankings for basketball, and a convincing win like this should help bolster their case to get into that top 25.
A&M will be back in action next Monday against Southeastern Louisiana before heading up to Fort Worth to take on TCU on Thursday. From there, they'll head to the Battle 4 Atlantis, where they can begin to really make a name for themselves on a national front with a couple of wins.
Transfer QB market beginning to take shape for Texas A&M
Most Texas A&M fans are aware of the fact that they will be in dire need of a transfer quarterback this upcoming cycle— something that the Aggies have not yet had to do since the portal really began to get huge. There's always going to be some significant competition for signal-callers via the transfer ranks, so it's going to be a wild ride whatever happens— but one domino has just fallen that signals how difficult things might get.
Kamario Taylor has re-upped with Mississippi State for a reported $7.5M. That not only puts to bed any hope that fans had of somehow getting in on any Kamario sweepstakes, but it shows just how high the price tag is getting to land an impact passer from the portal.
More and more schools around the country are getting in the habit of making big deals to keep their talented QBs at home, so it might well be slim pickings come portal time for the Aggies and other teams needing a passer. It's going to be an interesting few months, to say the least.
