Texas A&M LB Not Hearing ‘Transfer Portal Talk’ Ahead of Spring Game
Texas A&M Linebacker Scooby Williams Focuses on Spring Game Amid Transfer Portal Activity
As Texas A&M prepares for its annual Maroon and White Spring Game on Saturday, April 19, 2025, linebacker Scooby Williams remains steadfast in his commitment to the Aggies, despite the ongoing transfer portal activity surrounding the team.
Williams’ Impact and Commitment
Williams, a former Florida transfer, has been a significant contributor to Texas A&M’s defense. In the previous season, he recorded 43 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, an interception, a fumble recovery, four pass breakups, and three quarterback hurries. His performance has solidified his role as a key defensive player for the Aggies.
Head coach Mike Elko confirmed that Williams plans to return for the 2025 season, emphasizing his importance to the team’s defensive lineup.
Transfer Portal Activity
While Williams is focused on the upcoming spring game, several of his teammates have entered the transfer portal. Linebacker Alex Howard, who joined the Aggies in the winter, announced his decision to re-enter the portal after just four months on campus. Howard expressed his gratitude to Coach Elko and the staff for the opportunity but decided to seek a new path for his final year of eligibility.
Additionally, linebacker Martrell Harris Jr. has entered the portal after three seasons with Texas A&M. Harris, a three-star recruit from The Woodlands, Texas, had previously shown promise but faced challenges in securing consistent playing time.
Looking Ahead
Despite the transfer portal activity, Williams remains committed to the Aggies and is focused on contributing to the team’s success in the upcoming season. The Maroon and White Spring Game will provide an opportunity for fans and coaches alike to assess the team’s progress and the integration of new players into the defensive lineup.
