Head coach Mike Elko and the Texas A&M Aggies are tasked with reloading after an impressive 11-2 season in 2025. That campaign featured an appearance in the College Football Playoff, and the Aggies have begun rebuilding on the right foot by being very active in the early days of the transfer portal.
On Monday afternoon, Texas A&M continued its work in the transfer portal by adding another offensive lineman. This time, the Aggies have secured South Carolina transfer Trovon Baugh, as reported by On3’s Hayes Fawcett. With Baugh’s addition, Texas A&M now boasts two incoming transfers on the offensive line, both hailing from other SEC programs. Baugh arrives from South Carolina, joining LSU Tigers transfer offensive lineman Coen Echols, who committed to the Aggies on Sunday.
### Taking a Deeper Dive at Texas A&M’s Newest Commit
Trovon Baugh is a formidable presence in the trenches. Standing six-foot-four and weighing 337 pounds, the offensive lineman brings a wealth of experience that is rare to find in the transfer portal. Notably, Baugh has three seasons of SEC experience under his belt.
Baugh wrapped up his junior season with the Gamecocks in 2025, playing in all 12 games and making 11 starts at right guard. Across his three-year tenure at South Carolina, he appeared in 35 total games and made 19 career starts. His impact was evident from early on, as Baugh played in 11 games and made eight starts as a true freshman in 2023. His outstanding freshman year earned him a Freshman All-SEC selection.
### Bolstering an Evolving Offensive Line
As Texas A&M prepares for the 2026 season, the offensive line will undergo significant changes. Key losses include tackle Trey Zuhn and guard Ar’maj Reed-Adams, both of whom have been foundational players for the Aggies in recent years.
Adding Baugh gives the Aggies a proven SEC veteran with nearly 20 conference starts to his name. He offers the size, skill, and reliability needed to be a plug-and-play starter on the interior from day one.
For Baugh, the transfer represents a move to another SEC program with serious championship aspirations. It’s likely his final year of college eligibility, and he aims to make a significant impact in College Station.
With these key additions from the portal, Texas A&M’s offensive line looks to be well-positioned to support the team’s 2026 ambitions.
