Per a source, Texas A&M sophomore running back Jashaun Corbin became the latest Aggie football player who has decided to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Corbin was injured in the second half of the Aggies' second game of the season with Clemson when he was pulled down awkwardly from behind on the Aggies' sidelines and stayed on the ground in pain while was holding his hamstring. Corbin totaled 103 yards and a touchdown in the Aggies’ first game of the season against Texas State but had just 34 yards on 13 carries before leaving the contest with the Tigers. Corbin was originally tasked with filling some big shoes this year as he replaced the extremely productive Trayveon Williams at the running back position.

Corbin just went over 1,000 career all-purpose yards in the Clemson game after posting 853 all-purpose yards last season to lead all SEC freshman with an impressive 10 yards per play. The phenom chipped in 422 kick return yards to lead the SEC with a 30.1 kick return average. For his efforts a season ago, Corbin earned All-Freshman Team honors from the league’s coaches as a running back, all-purpose player and return specialist.

Corbin's replacement, freshman Isaiah Spiller, compiled over 1,000 yards rushing and receiving this season and was named to the SEC's all freshman team.

A one-time commitment to both Florida State and Tennessee out of Rockledge, Fla., Corbin became a primary target of A&M running back coach Jay Graham when he came with Fisher from Florida State. He ended up being one of nine players to commit and ink with the Aggies on National Signing Day in February of 2018.

Because Corbin only played in two games this past season, due to the new redshirt rule allowing players to appear in up to four games and still maintain their redshirt status, he can use this season as just that. When he returns to the field in 2020, he will be classified as a redshirt sophomore.

Corbin joins offensive tackle Kellen Diesch, tight ends Camron Horry and Glenn Beal, running backs Deneric Prince and Jacob Kibodi, cornerback Moses Reynolds and safety Brian Johnson as Aggies in the transfer portal so far this season.



The NCAA introduced the portal on Oct. 15, 2018, providing athletes a path to explore their options. Players do not need to ask permission from their coaching staff in order to transfer. They merely need to request that compliance enter their name. Usually, it takes 24-48 hours for a player to appear following their request.

Schools are free to contact a player without restriction once their name appears in the portal. While a player entering their name in the transfer portal means they intend to explore their options, it does not necessarily mean they will leave. A player is free to withdraw his name at any time. However, schools are under no obligation to keep a player on scholarship once they enter the portal.

The first portal cycle saw 1,942 FBS players enter in the initial calendar year of its existence, per a source.
