Texas A&M’s wide receiver room gave fans a real glimpse into the future this past season - and it’s a future that looks fast, dynamic, and potentially explosive under new offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins.
Wiggins, who’s also staying on as the wide receivers coach, inherits a group that thrived in 2025 and is now looking to reload, not rebuild. After a productive year under former OC Collin Klein, the focus now shifts to the transfer portal, where Wiggins is zeroing in on one or two key additions to keep the momentum going.
One name that’s already on the radar? Kansas State transfer wide receiver Jayce Brown.
Brown reportedly visited College Station during Texas A&M’s College Football Playoff loss to Miami - a high-stakes weekend that gave him a first-hand look at the Aggies' culture and postseason aspirations. It’s clear that head coach Mike Elko and Wiggins see Brown as a priority target, and for good reason.
His ability to stretch the field and create separation would be a strong fit in a system that’s expected to emphasize speed and versatility at the position.
That need becomes even more pressing with KC Concepcion declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft. Concepcion was nothing short of electric in his lone season in Aggieland - hauling in 61 catches for 919 yards and nine touchdowns, plus adding 1,450 all-purpose yards and two punt return scores. Replacing that kind of production is no small task, but the Aggies are actively working to do just that.
Another intriguing option on the table? Former Auburn wideout Malcolm Simmons, who recently entered the transfer portal.
Simmons has a direct connection to Wiggins, who recruited him heavily during his time as Alabama’s assistant head coach and wide receivers coach. That past relationship could give Texas A&M a real edge in what’s shaping up to be a competitive pursuit.
Simmons is already drawing early interest from several SEC schools, including Kentucky, Arkansas, Georgia - and of course, Texas A&M. And it’s easy to see why.
He finished his Auburn career with 65 catches for 908 yards and five touchdowns, but it was his late-season surge that really turned heads. In his final two games, Simmons exploded for 149 receiving yards and a touchdown against Mercer, then followed that up with a 143-yard, one-touchdown performance in the Iron Bowl - averaging a staggering 47 yards per catch against Alabama.
That kind of big-play potential is exactly what Wiggins is looking to add to a 2026 wide receiver corps that already features rising junior Mario Craver - another burner with game-breaking speed. With Concepcion off to the NFL, the Aggies aren’t just looking for depth.
They’re looking for difference-makers. And both Brown and Simmons fit that bill.
Bottom line: Texas A&M’s offense is undergoing a transition, but with Wiggins at the helm and a clear plan to add elite speed and playmaking ability on the outside, the Aggies are positioning themselves to stay dangerous. The portal is open, the targets are clear - now it’s about closing the deal.
