Former Tulane CB DJ Douglas will visit Texas A&M this weekend
Heading into the 2024 offseason, the cornerback position is bare, and outside of the key addition of former Kansas State cornerback Will Lee Jr., Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko has fielded offer after offer to nearly every available defensive back in the transfer portal, including former Tulane CB DJ Douglas.
Offering Douglas in late December, the Aggies have lost both starting cornerbacks from last season, as Deuce Harmon has transferred to SMU, while veteran Tyreek Chappell still has a chance to return, but it isn’t likely at this point. This week, it was confirmed by AggiesToday that Douglas will be in College Station for an official visit this weekend, providing Elko a prime opportunity to seal the deal.

After transferring to Tulane during the 2021 season, Douglas accumulated 78 tackles (58 solo tackles), four interceptions, and seven pass deflections, including 54 tackles and three interceptions during the 2023 season. While Tulane may be a Group of Five program, Douglas’s 6’0″, 205-pound stature, paired with the speed and coverage ability on the boundary, would pair very well with Will Lee Jr. and incoming sophomores Javon Thomas and Bravion Rodgers.
So far, Elko has landed ten players through the portal, including five on defense, knowing that to compete in the SEC in his first season at the helm, the secondary must be fixed, making DJ Douglas a high-priority potential addition.
