The Kansas State standout, ranked No. 34 nationally, will play under head coach Bucky McMillan in the SEC, bringing a proven scoring and playmaking pedigree.

PJ Haggerty, the Kansas State transfer who finished the previous season ranked No. 34 in the nation’s top 60 college basketball prospects, is set to make his debut for Texas A&M in the upcoming campaign.

Ranking and Expectations

Coached by Bucky McMillan, the Aggies will integrate the versatile forward into the high‑pressure environment of the SEC, where his skill set could reshape the team’s dynamics.

A Career of Consistency

Over four collegiate seasons Haggerty has built a reputation as a reliable scorer, shooting 48.6% from the field and 33.9% from three‑point range while averaging 21 points per game. His 70% free‑throw accuracy and 47% field‑goal percentage underline a consistency that stretches across his career at TCU, Tulsa, Memphis and Kansas State.

Beyond scoring, the 6‑foot‑7 forward contributes 5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game on average, while also delivering 1.2 steals each contest. His ability to create space, knock down shots from multiple spots and make quick decisions downhill has drawn praise from analysts who see him as a potential catalyst for the Aggies’ offense.

The move also places Haggerty back in the spotlight of a program that has recently benefited from strong recruiting and development pipelines. With the support of the university’s athletic department and the expertise of the coaching staff, the transfer hopes to translate his collegiate success into a breakout performance in the SEC.
