UNC Defensive Tackle CJ Mims Commits to Texas A&M After Transfer Visit

The one-year addition targets a pressing interior-line need created by recent NFL departures.

Overview

Mims entered the transfer portal on Jan. 11 and announced his commitment Monday following a reported visit to College Station.
The former ECU standout posted 42 tackles, two sacks and 14 pressures at North Carolina in 2025, earning roughly a 69.7 PFF grade.
He has one season of eligibility remaining and projects as an interior disruptor for the Aggies.
Prior ties to Texas A&M personnel Derek Miller and Allen Gaudet IV, who recruited him to ECU, facilitated his swift visit and recruitment.
Texas A&M is reinforcing its defensive front after Albert Regis and Tyler Onyedim declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, also adding Illinois transfer Angelo McCullom and expecting the reported return of starter DJ Hicks.
