Texas A&M’s transfer portal success continued on Sunday as the Aggies gained their third commitment after landing quarterback Jacob Zeno and tight end Micah Riley earlier this week.
To some surprise, things became official early in the day, as 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz confirmed that former Georgia cornerback Julian Humphrey would transfer to Texas A&M.
On Saturday, Texas A&M recruiting insider Jaxson Callaway stated that Humphrey had narrowed his transfer options and planned to announce his commitment on Friday, Dec. 20. Well, things change in an instant, and coach Mike Elko and his defensive staff have picked up an instant starter for 2025.
Last offseason, Humphrey nearly transferred to Texas A&M but opted to return to Georgia for a final year. During the 2024 season, Humphrey recorded 11 tackles and four pass deflections, ending the year with a 69 coverage grade, according to Pro Football Focus. He is the third-ranked cornerback on the portal.
A native of Webster, Texas, Humphrey’s hometown is only two hours away from College Station, as the incoming junior will be an immediate contributor within an experienced cornerback rotation looking to take the next step in 2025.
