With the transfer portal playing a bigger role than ever in college football, Texas A&M Aggies coach Mike Elko spoke on his plans to keep ahead of the curve and preserve his program's culture.
COLLEGE STATION — It's been years now since the transfer portal began to take over the college football landscape.
Just this offseason, Texas A&M is losing 18 players to the transfer portal — most notably Max Johnson, Fadil Diggs, Evan Stewart, L.T. Overton and Johnson's brother, Jake. Granted, it is welcoming over 20 new players from other schools, but the turnover is certainly high. Elko likened the Aggies to a different industry entirely — journalism — which sees reporters come in and out as years pass, yet retain a strong publication culture, which the Aggies will hope to harness.
