According to On3’s Hayes Fawcett, Texas A&M defensive back Jayvon Thomas plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Thomas spent three years in College Station as a nice rotation piece in the secondary. Now, he might be looking to upgrade his playing time heading into the final years of eligibility.

Thomas played high school football at Dallas (TX) South Oak Cliff, where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 136 overall recruit in the 2023 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Per his official Texas A&M roster bio, Thomas just completed his junior season. This would mean he only has one year remaining in college football. This comes after 33 games for the Aggies, recording 33 tackles, one tackle for a loss, one interception, and one pass breakup.

However, most of that production was done as a freshman and sophomore. Despite getting out there in all 13 games, Thomas only recorded one tackle in 2025.

This news from Thomas comes just a few days after the College Football Playoff loss. Texas A&M managed an 11-1 record during the regular season but could not get a win at Kyle Field vs. Miami to advance. Roster fluctuations are always going to take place this time of year, with the transfer portal set to officially open in early January.
