Mike Elko and the Aggies have reeled in another major need through the transfer portal ranks, with former Georgia EDGE Sam M’Pemba announcing his intentions to join the Aggie football program.

Standing at 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds, M’Pemba was a five-star recruit coming out of IMG Academy in the class of 2023, but he is originally from Olivette, Missouri. During his senior year, he posted 36 tackles, including 24 solo stops,14 TFLs and 4.5 sacks.

In 2023, for the Bulldogs, M’Pemba played in 10 games and posted six tackles. In 2024, he saw action in the first four games.

M’Pemba will have three years of eligibility left and serves as a huge addition for Sean Spencer and Tony Jerod-Eddie to replace production headed to the NFL Draft.

Stay tuned. We will have more coming for our TexAgs Premium subscribers.

Why did he only see action in the first four games this year? Injury?

. Georgia has stacked #1 classes on top of #1 classes. Maybe they wanted to redshirt him. You can play 4 games and still redshirt.

I know everyone is on cloud nine with the portal additions, but I would rather be adding guys who outperformed their high school recruiting level instead of guys who were highly touted and haven't produced at schools we are trying to beat (UGA & UF).

Hope it works out, but I'm not sold.

Those guys are starters, or soon to be starters, on their current teams. Barring a coaching change, they probably are not looking to leave.

Ranked #35 edge in portal. Hopefully, Elko and Spencer see big upside promise.
