Texas A&M Eyes Transfer LB Arion Carter

Texas A&M's football program is nearing the completion of its roster for 2026, having secured 17 transfer portal additions. While most positions are filled, the coaching staff is looking to add depth at running back and linebacker. Despite adding veteran talent to the offensive line and securing Tulsa transfer linebacker Ray Coney, the departure of key players leaves a gap that the team aims to fill.

Specifically, the linebacker unit, while returning Daymion Sanford, lost experienced players Taurean York and Scooby Williams to the NFL Draft. The potential addition of a veteran linebacker like Tennessee's Arion Carter could significantly improve the team's run defense and pass rush capabilities. Carter, who recorded 76 tackles and 1.5 sacks last season, has entered the transfer portal, sparking interest from multiple programs.

With the transfer portal deadline approaching on Friday, Texas A&M is among the teams reportedly showing interest in Arion Carter. Both Texas A&M and Ole Miss are considered contenders for his commitment, with the potential to field a complete roster if they secure his talent. The outcome of this pursuit remains to be seen as the transfer window concludes.
