Texas A&M Seen as Early Front-Runner as Alabama WR Isaiah Horton Begins Portal Visits
Horton’s first visit signals Texas A&M’s pursuit of a bigger red-zone target.
Overview
- CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported Horton is set to visit Texas A&M, marking his first trip since entering the transfer portal on Thursday.
- On3’s Pete Nakos characterized Texas A&M as the early team to beat in Horton’s recruitment.
- Horton is widely ranked the No. 2 wide receiver and No. 9 overall player available after posting 42 catches for 511 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025, leading Alabama’s receivers in scores.
- The Aggies are targeting a larger, experienced perimeter receiver to pair with returners Mario Craver and Ashton Bethel‑Roman for 2026, with Marcel Reed projected to start at quarterback.
- With top portal receiver Cam Coleman still undecided after multiple visits, Texas A&M is pursuing Horton as a potential alternative during the Jan. 2–16 transfer window.
