Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMillan is wasting no time in the transfer portal this offseason. After guiding a portal-built roster to the NCAA Tournament's second round in his debut season, McMillan is back at work, aiming to construct another competitive squad for 2026.
The Aggies have already made significant moves to offset key departures, most notably landing high-scoring Kansas State transfer PJ Haggerty. However, with the need for a reliable point guard remaining a priority, a new name has emerged on their radar: Campbell transfer Jeremiah Johnson.
Johnson, a 6-foot-4 combo guard, could be an ideal fit for the Aggies' backcourt. Last season, he proved to be a consistent scoring threat, averaging 15.2 points per game while shooting an efficient 44.9% from the field and nearly 38% from three-point range. His experience and scoring efficiency would provide valuable support alongside Haggerty and add crucial depth.
While Texas A&M is reportedly interested in hosting Johnson for a visit, they face stiff competition. The guard has drawn interest from a long list of major programs, including Arizona State, Miami, Gonzaga, and many others, highlighting his value in this transfer cycle.
As Coach McMillan looks to finalize his roster, securing a commitment from a player of Johnson's caliber would be a major win. It would address a key positional need and signal that the Aggies are serious about building on their recent tournament success. The offseason chess match continues in College Station.
