Aggies A Favorite To Land Former Alabama Five-Star Transfer Dezz Ricks.

The Texas A&M Aggies are in prime position to land one of the top talents in the NCAA Transfer Portal, in Alabama cornerback Dezz Ricks.

After suffering extensive losses to the roster after the end of the regular season, the Texas A&M Aggies have been on a roll in the NCAA Transfer Portal, landing 22 commitments over the last couple of months.

And while they have secured a good deal of impact talent thus far, they could be in line to earn arguably the best of the bunch.

According to 247Sports director of recruiting Steve Wiltfong, the Aggies are a favorite to land former five-star Alabama Crimson Tide cornerback Dezz Ricks.

Wiltfong even went so far as to enter a crystal ball prediction in favor of the Aggies, with a 100 percent confidence rating.

One source even told Wiltfong that Texas A&M ‘has a huge, huge, huge shot’.

“They got a huge, huge, huge shot,” the source told Wiltfong. “They’ve got everything and more at Texas A&M. I think it’s going to be Texas A&M.”

Ricks, who ranks as the No. 17 player in the portal, the No. 2 uncommitted prospect, and the No. 3 overall corner, would be a massive get for the Aggies, who are in desperate need of rebuilding their secondary.

As a recruit, Ricks was one of the highest-rated corners in the country, ranking as the No. 2 corner, No. 4 player in Florida, and No. 18 player nationally after reclassifying from the 2024 class to the 2023 class, per On3’s Industry Ranking.

Should the Aggies land Ricks, he would become one of their highest-rated incoming transfers behind only former Purdue edge rusher Nic Scourton, in a class that already ranks as the No. transfer class in the country, per 247Sports.

Top Transfer Portal Names Texas A&M Could Still Target For 2024 Season.

College football’s transfer portal window remains open a week after the confetti fell at NRG Stadium in Houston. And it’ll stay active longer than usual with the current changes across the coaching world.

Nick Saban’s retirement at Alabama was an atom bomb that shook the foreground of the sport. The departure of the seven-time national champion winner in Title Town created a ripple effect that has players revaluating their careers at their respective schools.

They’ll have time, too. As a coach departs for his next adventure, 30 days are tacked on the portal window for the players left behind. This means Crimson Tide players will have to be persuaded by Kalen DeBoer to stick around and buy into the vision.

The same goes for Washington players now under former Arizona coach Jedd Fisch in Seattle.

Wash, rinse, repeat for the Wildcats and whoever they hire to retain a roster that won 10 games in 2023 and looks to be a threat to win the Big 12 in Year 1.

Crimson Tide receiver Isaiah Bond was the first major name to depart their respective school following change. He’s now headed to Texas to replace Xavier Worthy as Quinn Ewers’ No. 1 target.

He won’t be the last player suiting up elsewhere next fall, either. Washington cornerback Jabbar Muhammad is in the portal. So is Alabama tight end Amari Niblack. Sights are on Tucson to see what the trio of Tetairoa McMillan, Jonah Coleman and Noah Fifita choose to do.
