Former five-star wide receiver Evan Stewart has decided to enter the transfer portal, further impacting the Texas A&M roster, according to a report from 247Sports. Stewart, who was initially ranked as the No. 6 overall prospect in the 2022 recruiting class by 247Sports, is now considered the No. 2 overall player available in the transfer portal.
This move follows a trend of notable departures from the Texas A&M program, particularly since the departure of coach Jimbo Fisher in November. The Aggies have seen other high-profile players, including Walter Nolen and LT Overton, enter the transfer portal. Overton, a top player from the Aggies’ 2022 recruiting class, recently committed to Alabama. Additionally, quarterback Max Johnson, tight end Jake Johnson, and edge rusher Fadil Diggs are among the other Texas A&M players who have entered the transfer portal this cycle.
