Texas A&M adds former Tulsa LB Ray Coney via transfer portal

There’s a new linebacker headed to Aggieland this offseason as former Tulsa standout Ray Coney has announced his commitment to Texas A&M out of the transfer portal.

The Fairfield, Ohio, native was a standout at East Tennessee State for two years, earning Freshman All-American honors from Phil Steele before making the move to the Golden Hurricane.

The 6-foot-2, 240-pounder is Mike Elko’s second addition in this January window.

Coney’s tackle numbers during his first season as a full-time starter were impressive, as his game clearly translated to the next step up on the college football ladder. In 2025, Coney tallied 128 take-downs. He also recorded a pair of sacks and a forced fumble. He holds a career tackle total of 225 if you combine his numbers from ETSU and Tulsa.

He’ll arrive at A&M with plenty of snaps under his belt and one year of eligibility remaining.

Stay here, as we’ll have continued portal coverage after the Aggies add a productive veteran presence on defense.
