LaQuvionte Gonzalez announces intent to transfer
Junior receiver Laquivionte Gonzalez, who came to Texas A&M with great expectations that were never realized, announced via Twitter on Monday that he was transferring:
He did not reveal to what programs he was considering.
Heralded for speed and quickness, the 5-10, 165-pound Gonzalez was an Under Armour All-American and four-star rated prospect when he signed with Texas A&M in 2013 out of Cedar Hill High School.
He started one game his freshman season and accumulated 240 receiving yards on 21 catches. As a sophomore he had five catches for 77 yards.
Gonzalez struggled to earn playing time at perhaps A&M’s deepest position.
With junior Josh Reynolds coming off a record-setting year, sophomores Speedy Noil and Ricky Seals-Jones anticipating breakout seasons this year and freshman Christian Kirk making an excellent impression this spring, Gonzalez didn’t figure to get significantly more playing time.
Gonzalez’ exit leaves Seals-Jones and junior Jeremy Tabuyo as the only remaining members of what was thought to be a stellar group of six receivers in the 2013 recruiting class.
Sebastian LaRue, Ja'Quay Williams and Kyrion Parker, who were part of that class, have previously transferred.
