Marcus Ratcliffe identifies two key newcomers for the Texas A&M football team

Texas A&M safety Marcus Ratcliffe selected edge Anto Saka and wide receiver Isaiah Horton as the two newcomers poised to make an immediate impact for the team during the 2026 season. The Aggies are set to open their campaign on Saturday night against Missouri State. Saka, a transfer from Northwestern, has drawn praise from Ratcliffe for his defensive presence and ability to disrupt the run game while attempting to replace Cashius Howell. Horton, a transfer from Alabama, is expected to serve as a primary target for quarterback Marcel Reed due to his physical size and catch radius. These additions are part of a 17-player transfer portal class brought in by coach Mike Elko to address depth following departures to the NFL. The team enters the matchup against Missouri State as a heavy favorite.
