Texas A&M Aggies Transfer Jabre Barber To Miss 'Several Months' With Injury

The Aggies have lost a key member of the receiver corps for an extended time with a serious injury.

The Texas A&M Aggies had a stellar NCAA Transfer Portal haul this offseason, with more than 20 players making their way to College Station in hopes of making an impact.

One of the players who many had high expectations for, was former Troy receiver Jabre Barber, who was beginning to carve out a nice role for himself in the offense throughout spring practice - even making a case to be the team's No. 1 wideout.

However, that progress has now hit a substantial roadblock, with Barber now reported to be out for 'several months' after undergoing foot surgery, according to multiple reports.

Barber came in alongside other offensive weapons such as Cyrus Allen, Wesley Watson, Javon Harvey, and Garrett Miller, to try and help replace the losses of Evan Stewart, Ainias Smith, and Jake Johnson. He was also beginning to emerge as a key special teams player, thanks to his ability to both return kicks and punts.

Upon his commitment to the team, Barber ranked as the No. 189 player and No. 35 receiver in the portal.

With Barber now out for an extended period of time, the expectation is for the top three receivers to be the incumbent trio of Noah Thomas, Jahdae Walker, and Moose Muhammad.

Barber will have one year of eligibility remaining, after playing in 32 games over the last three seasons, and making 132 catches for 1,674 yards and 10 touchdowns.

This season, he was on the cusp of a 1,000-yard year, catching 75 catches for 999 yards and five scores.
