Texas A&M Targets Georgetown Transfer Guard KJ Lewis

The Aggies are in the running to land the All-Big East guard for next season.

Apr. 8, 2026 at 10:04am

According to reports, Texas A&M is one of the schools in the mix to land Georgetown transfer guard KJ Lewis. Lewis, an El Paso native, averaged 14.9 points and 2.1 steals per game for the Hoyas last season and would provide the Aggies with a veteran backcourt presence to complement their up-tempo system under coach Bucky McMillan.

Why it matters

The Aggies are looking to reload their roster through the transfer portal after making the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight year. Landing a proven scorer and defender like Lewis would be a major boost as they try to sustain their recent success.

The details

With guards Josh Holloway and Ruben Dominguez entering the portal, Texas A&M needs to add 3-4 impact players through the transfer market. Along with needing more size in the frontcourt, the Aggies are prioritizing finding a veteran guard who fits their fast-paced style. Lewis, an All-Big East selection last season, would seemingly fill that need with his ability to drive the paint and play strong defense.

  • The 2026 college basketball transfer portal opened on April 8.
  • The portal will close on April 21, giving players just over two weeks to enter their names.

What they’re saying

“Former Georgetown guard KJ Lewis was an All-Big East selection this season for the Hoyas, averaging nearly 15 PPG. The first school that I was told to watch once he declared his intentions to enter the portal was St. John's, however, plenty of others will likely be in the mix, like SMU, Texas A&M, and others.”
