Texas A&M basketball lands veteran mid-major transfer

Lukas Walls started his career playing for Bucky McMillan at Samford, now he will end it playing for him at Texas A&M.

Texas A&M basketball is adding a familiar face to its roster, securing a commitment from veteran guard Lukas Walls via the transfer portal. The rising senior announced his decision Wednesday night, reuniting with head coach Bucky McMillan in College Station.

This move marks a full-circle moment for the player-coach duo. Walls began his collegiate career playing two seasons for McMillan at Samford before following him to the SEC, albeit with a one-year stop at Radford in between. His commitment signals a player who knows the system and the coach's demanding, up-tempo "BuckyBall" style.

Walls brings valuable experience and a proven shooting touch to an Aggies squad looking to build on its momentum. In his lone season at Radford, he was a reliable starter, averaging 7.9 points per game while showcasing elite efficiency. His 45.5% shooting from three-point range is a particularly enticing skill set that should help space the floor for the Aggies' offense.

He becomes the second transfer portal addition for Texas A&M this offseason, joining former Kansas State guard PJ Haggerty. As a seasoned veteran entering his final year of eligibility, Walls provides not just a reliable outside shot but also a trusted voice in the locker room who can help accelerate the team's adaptation to Coach McMillan's philosophy. For Aggies fans, this reunion is a strategic addition that blends immediate skill with invaluable system familiarity.
