Just a week removed from Texas A&M’s tough 10-3 loss to Miami in the opening round of the College Football Playoff, the Aggies are facing a wave of roster turnover that could reshape the program’s offseason strategy. Eight players have now declared their intent to enter the transfer portal - and the latest name, junior tight end Theo Melin Öhrström, adds another layer of complexity to what’s already shaping up to be a critical offseason for head coach Mike Elko.
With the portal heating up and roster holes to fill, Elko and his staff are staring down a pivotal few months. Last year’s portal success was impressive, but this cycle might demand even more aggressive maneuvering.
The needs are clear: offensive line, defensive line, linebacker - and now tight end - are all positions that require immediate attention. But running back?
That’s quietly become one of the most intriguing spots to watch.
Senior Le’Veon Moss is NFL-bound, and his departure leaves a noticeable void in the backfield. Moss brought a level of physicality and consistency that helped balance the Aggies’ offense. Without him, the current depth chart leans heavily toward speed and finesse - talented, no doubt, but lacking the bruising element Moss provided.
Enter Quintrevion Wisner.
On Friday, the Texas running back officially entered the transfer portal after three seasons in Austin. And for Aggie fans, this name should ring a few bells - Wisner has been a thorn in A&M’s side, putting together some of his best performances against them over the past two seasons. His decision to transfer comes amid a broader shakeup in the Longhorns’ backfield, including the departure of former five-star Cedric Baxter.
Wisner's 2025 campaign saw him lead Texas in rushing with 597 yards and three touchdowns. That’s solid, but it was his sophomore season in 2024 that really turned heads: 1,064 yards, five touchdowns, and a 4.7 yards-per-carry average.
He’s not going to blow past defenders with elite speed, but he brings a punishing, physical style that wears down defenses. He’s a grinder - the kind of back who thrives on contact and keeps the chains moving.
Pro Football Focus gave Wisner an 81.5 run grade and a 67.0 pass protection grade - numbers that speak to his all-around value. He’s not just a runner; he’s a complete back who can stay on the field in any situation. And judging by the reaction from Longhorn fans and media alike, his absence is going to be felt in Austin.
So, should Texas A&M make a serious push for Tre Wisner? Absolutely.
With Moss gone, the Aggies need a tone-setter in the backfield. Pairing Wisner with the speed and explosiveness of Rueben Owens, Jamarion Morrow, and incoming freshman KJ Edwards would give A&M a dynamic, multi-dimensional ground game. Owens and Morrow can stretch the field and break big plays, while Wisner can handle the dirty work between the tackles and in short-yardage situations.
For Mike Elko and running backs coach Trooper Taylor, this is a chance to not just replace a key piece - but to reimagine the backfield entirely. Wisner fits the mold of what they’re missing: toughness, experience, and a proven ability to produce in the SEC spotlight.
The portal is wide open, and the Aggies have needs. Tre Wisner checks a lot of boxes - and if A&M is serious about elevating its run game next season, he’s the kind of player who could make an immediate impact.
