It's being reported that the Texas A&M F/C Pharrel Payne has entered the transfer portal with a "Do Not Contact" tag.
Payne's outstanding contributions this season have cemented his place as one of the most efficient players in NCAA basketball. Playing a vital role in Texas A&M's journey to one of the highest NCAA Tournament seeds in program history, he showcased his skill and consistency by shooting an impressive 65% from the field, alongside averages of 10.4 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.
His performance soared during March Madness, where he delivered incredible numbers, averaging 25.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and shooting a remarkable 80% from the field, making him nearly unstoppable.
With Buzz Williams departing to Maryland, Payne's decision to enter the transfer portal has sparked significant interest among basketball programs. His elite performance in the tournament has undoubtedly opened numerous opportunities for him. Texas A&M's ability to quickly secure a new coach could influence Payne's decision to remain with the Aggies or explore new options elsewhere.
Regardless of his choice, Payne has earned immense respect and admiration from Aggie fans for his dedication, efficiency, and unforgettable impact on the team's success this season. The hope remains that he will continue to flourish in his basketball journey.
