Texas A&M to target Texas State transfer Wade Cooper for pitching

Texas A&M is looking to recruit Wade Cooper, a right-handed pitcher from Texas State, who is entering the NCAA transfer portal. Cooper finished his freshman season with a 4.72 ERA and 73 strikeouts over 66.2 innings. Texas A&M's season ended after losing to USC in the College Station Regional, prompting the dismissal of associate head coach Jason Kelly. The Aggies are seeking to improve their struggling pitching staff, which had a 5.24 ERA during the season. Retaining current pitchers while adding new talent is now a priority for the team, which views Cooper as a potential candidate for a starting role or key bullpen position.
