Haynes King will reportedly look at continuing his college football career elsewhere after 3 seasons at Texas A&M. Multiple outlets are reporting that the Aggie quarterback has entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal.

King’s name has shown up in the portal because he is able to enter as a graduate transfer. Undergraduates have to wait for the NCAA transfer portal window to open on Monday.

King, a former 4-star recruit, early enrolled at Texas A&M as part of the Aggies’ 2020 recruiting class. He redshirted his first season on campus, playing in 2 games.

King was Texas A&M’s Week 1 starting quarterback each of the past 2 seasons. He suffered a season-ending injury after 2 games in 2021.

In 2022, King made 6 appearances, going 104-of-187 passing for 1,220 yards, 7 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. The 1,220 passing yards are a team-high for the Aggies in a season in which King, Max Johnson and Connor Weigman all started games at the quarterback position.

Applying the NCAA’s COVID-19 waiver for 2020 and a redshirt for 2021, King will have 3 remaining seasons of eligibility.
