Texas A&M forward expected to return for the 2026-2027 season
· Yahoo Sports
The 2026 Texas A&M basketball season has been a full‑tilt climb for first‑year head coach Bucky McMillan. A team once projected to sit near the bottom of the SEC is now fighting its way into the NCAA Tournament picture, and transfer forward Zach Clemence has been central to that surge. This week, he added another twist to the story—one that could reshape the Aggies’ future.
In a recent interview, the fifth‑year senior revealed that he received a medical redshirt last season after appearing in only eight games. Combined with a previous redshirt year during the 2023–24 season, the path is now open for Clemence to secure another year of eligibility. While the NCAA has not issued an official ruling, the expectation around the program is that the additional year will be granted, positioning Clemence to return for the 2026–27 season.

Such a development would be significant for McMillan’s second year in College Station. Clemence has grown into one of the Aggies’ most reliable contributors during their midseason turnaround, providing scoring, size, and a steadying presence in the frontcourt. With several key players expected to depart after this season, his potential return would give Texas A&M a rare dose of continuity and experience at a moment when roster stability will matter most.
For now, the Aggies wait on the official word. Until then, Clemence continues to elevate his game, helping push Texas A&M toward a postseason berth that once seemed out of reach.
