Rubén Dominguez, a 23-year-old forward who provided valuable shooting and experience for the Texas A&M Aggies last season, is entering the transfer portal. His departure leaves the Aggies with a clear void to fill, as they lose their top 3-point shooter and one of their most reliable offensive weapons.

Why it matters

Dominguez's transfer is a significant loss for the Aggies, who relied heavily on his outside shooting to complement their inside game. As a team, Texas A&M was one of the better 3-point shooting squads in the country last season, but with Dominguez and several other key perimeter threats departing, the Aggies will need to find new sources of outside scoring to maintain their offensive balance.

The details

Dominguez, who had two years of eligibility remaining due to a waiver, averaged 10.2 points per game last season and led the team in 3-point attempts (6.3) and makes (2.5) per game, shooting 40% from beyond the arc. He was one of six Aggies players who shot over 37% from 3-point range, but now all but two of those players are gone, leaving a clear void in Texas A&M's shooting.

  • Dominguez turned 23 in January 2026.
  • He was granted a waiver by the NCAA that gave him two years of eligibility.
