Texas A&M’s 2026 offseason is officially in high gear, and head coach Mike Elko isn’t wasting any time. With several key players heading off to the NFL or graduating, the Aggies are eyeing the transfer portal to reload - and not just with depth pieces. Elko and his staff are targeting impact players, especially in the trenches, where both the offensive and defensive lines are expected to see some turnover.
But the Aggies’ needs don’t stop there. The departure of star wide receiver KC Concepcion, who’s declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, leaves a big hole in the offense - one that new offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins will be tasked with filling. And it looks like Texas A&M is already working the phones.
Two names already drawing attention in College Station are Kansas State transfer Jayce Brown and Auburn’s Malcolm Simmons. Both are veteran wideouts with the kind of experience and upside that could help soften the blow of losing Concepcion. But there’s another name that’s quickly climbing to the top of the Aggies’ wishlist - Florida’s Dallas Wilson.
Now, let’s be clear: Wilson hasn’t entered the portal. But that hasn’t stopped the rumors from swirling.
After a season largely derailed by injury, Wilson still managed to flash serious potential in limited action. His best outing came against Texas, where he torched the Longhorns for six catches, 111 yards, and two touchdowns - a reminder of just how dangerous he can be when healthy.
Wilson profiles as a classic X receiver - big frame, explosive speed, and a knack for making plays along the boundary. That’s exactly the kind of weapon A&M could use in a post-Concepcion offense. And while new Florida head coach John Sumrall is doing everything he can to keep his roster intact - especially after losing quarterback DJ Lagway to the portal - Wilson’s situation is one to watch.
According to reports, Texas A&M is ready to make a serious push if Wilson decides to test the transfer waters. There’s some smoke here, too: Wilson is reportedly no longer represented by Excel Sports Management, a group that had been involved in his NIL negotiations. That change could open the door for a fresh round of discussions - and potentially, a big offer from the Aggies.
The Gators, for their part, aren’t sitting idly by. Florida’s staff has been in regular contact with Wilson, working to keep him in Gainesville and get a new NIL deal done.
The program also recently re-signed fellow wide receiver Vernell Brown III, which adds another layer to the situation. Florida may have the resources to keep both receivers, but juggling two high-profile NIL deals could complicate things.
Right now, Texas A&M appears to be the only serious contender if Wilson decides to leave. Others may show interest, but the Aggies are clearly positioning themselves as the top - and maybe only - threat to lure him away from Florida.
Bottom line: If Wilson hits the portal, Texas A&M is going to be aggressive. They’ve got a need, they’ve got the resources, and they’ve got a coach in Holmon Wiggins who knows how to develop wideouts. This is one to keep an eye on as the offseason unfolds.
