How does transfer Jahdae Walker fit with A&M?

After a good amount of names departed in the offseason, Texas A&M has responded by aggressively adding talent during the spring transfer window. Their latest addition strengthens a pivotal position for the coming fall season.

On Thursday, the Aggies got to work on bolstering their wide receiver depth with the commitment of former Grand Valley State wide receiver Jahdae Walker, who quickly emerged as one of the top-tier wideout transfers at the Division II level.

As a sophomore last season, Walker hauled in 30 receptions for 623 yards and four touchdowns en route to being named an all-conference selection. In the season prior, he appeared in six games as a true freshman with two receptions for 28 yards. Upon entering the portal back on April 26, the D2 standout drew interest from the likes of BYU, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan State, and Pitt.

But at the end of the day, Walker clearly felt that College Station was meant to be his next home. And upon a quick glance, it’s clear the partnership with A&M is an excellent fit.

Before Walker’s commitment, only two other receivers measured taller than 6-2 (6-3 freshman Raymond Cottrell and 6-6 sophomore Noah Thomas),

While size on the outside by no means correlates to wins on the field, it helps to have a bigger-bodied receiver that is capable of making a contested catch and overwhelming a smaller defensive back. When you think of converting on third down or in red-zone situations, having…
