New Texas A&M head coach Bucky McMillan is making waves in the transfer portal as he rebuilds the Aggies’ roster, landing another high-profile commitment. Following guard Jeremiah Green’s pledge, former North Alabama standout Jacari Lane has officially joined the program, bolstering the team’s backcourt with elite shooting and defensive prowess.
Standing at 6’0” and 182 pounds, Lane brings a dynamic skill set to College Station. The Huntsville, Alabama, native emerged as one of the nation’s most lethal shooters last season, averaging 17.3 points, 4 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game while draining 40.6% of his three-point attempts. His tenacity on defense—averaging over a steal per game—adds further value to McMillan’s revamped squad.
Lane’s decision to commit to Texas A&M may stem from his ties to McMillan, who also hails from Alabama. After completing an official visit to campus this weekend, the former four-star recruit quickly announced his move on social media, signaling his readiness to contribute immediately.
McMillan, known for his fast-paced coaching style, gains a gritty, high-IQ playmaker in Lane—a potential cornerstone for the Aggies’ rebuild. As the staff continues filling roster gaps through the portal, Lane’s arrival could mark a turning point for the program, offering a blend of scoring efficiency and defensive intensity that aligns with the new coaching philosophy. With momentum building, Texas A&M’s offseason moves are positioning the team for a compelling resurgence.
