The Texas A&M Aggies are set to take on the Texas Longhorns in a highly anticipated rivalry matchup on Black Friday in Austin.
With a win, the Aggies would secure a perfect 12–0 season and a spot in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.
But just days before the big game, some Texas A&M fans did a double take on social media after seeing some news from the transfer portal, which has a brotherly relationship with the Aggies.
On3’s Pete Nakos reports that Concord wide receiver Keyon Concepcion, the younger brother of Texas A&M wide receiver Casey Concepcion, is entering the transfer portal after a productive year at the Division II level.
Keon confirmed the news with his announcement on X, but the initial report definitely made Texas A&M fans feel a pit in their stomach for a moment.
After all, the last name “Concepcion” isn’t very common on college football rosters at the FBS level, so seeing it associated with the “transfer portal” confused Aggie fans for a while.
Here were some of the reactions:

Not an A&M fan either and had to do a double take 🙂

However, there is no need to worry. Casey Concepcion continues to be a star for Texas A&M and will play a major role in helping the Aggies achieve their championship-level goals once the College Football Playoff begins.
A transfer from NC State, Concepcion has exceeded expectations during his first year in College Station. In 11 games this season, he has 52 catches for 829 yards and nine touchdowns with seven carries for 55 yards.
Concepcion has also proven to be an elite punt returner for the Aggies, tallying 20 returns for 398 yards and two touchdowns this season.
Texas A&M Marcel Reed said of Concepcion’s punt return touchdown in the win over LSU, “It’s amazing when you get a touchdown and you don’t even have to go on the field.” “I told him, I was like you’re that guy, like I’ve never seen anybody on my team be so explosive in the punt return game and it’s fun to watch.”
Concepcion and Mario Craver have proven to be one of the nation’s top wide receiver duos this season, as they rank 25th and 35th, respectively, in the FBS in receiving yards.
Look for both to have a big game against a suspect Texas secondary on Friday in Austin. Lone Star Showdown begins at 6:30 PM CT.
