Texas A&M football set a record this year with 13 players invited to the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine.

Some are projected to be first- or second-round draft picks, some are likely to hear their names called on Day 2 and others are just hoping for a shot to be picked at all. This week’s combine in Indianapolis will give more than 300 players a chance to showcase their skills and athleticism in front of the NFL world.

After a slew of interviews and exams, workouts start with kickers Wednesday; linebackers and defensive linemen Thursday; defensive backs and tight ends Fridays; running backs, quarterbacks and wideouts Saturday and offensive lineman Sunday. Then it’s onto the draft April 23-25 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Here are five Aggies to follow during the combine:

Cashius Howell

Projected draft position: The 6-foot-2, 248-pound edge rusher could be the first Aggie taken off the board. Howell is a consensus top-40 prospect and is closer to top 25, according to most analysts. His biggest problem may be the depth and talent at the edge position this year. Despite a monster season with XX sacks, he could be the fourth or fifth edge drafted.

What will help at combine: Howell didn’t participate in the Senior Bowl, putting more focus on this week. His three-cone and short-shuttle times figure to be important, but his on-field work showing his bench and flexibility will be key as well.

KC Concepcion

Projected draft position: Concepcion’s game is speed and production after the catch. At 5-11, 190 pounds, he won’t be a jump ball maven, but he’s shown reliable hands and the ability to separate. He’s also part of a deep class and is unlikely to hear his name called first at his position. But most mocks have Concepcion taken between picks 20 and 40.

What will help at combine: He also did not play in Senior Bowl. Like all wide receivers, Concepcion’s 40-yard dash time will draw lots of eyeballs as will his vertical jump and 20-yard shuttle.

Chase Bisontis

Projected draft position: Viewed by some as one of the best pure guard prospects in the class, Bisontis left A&M early. He was third-team All-SEC and has great size (6-foot-5, 315 pounds) for the inside. He’s a top-100 prospect and possibly as high as second-round pick.

What will help at the combine: His measurements will be important. His shorter-than-average arms means he’s unlikely to kick outside. But strong 40 times, cone times and shuttle times could prove to scouts that he’s athletic enough to make a difference at guard. Although that won’t push him into Day 1 conversations, most likely, it could solidify his standing as a second-round pick with expectations to start sooner rather than later.

Le’Veon Moss

Projected draft position: Moss entered 2025 as an All-SEC selection then, once again, injuries choked an efficient season. He averaged better than 5.0 yards per carry for the third season in a row, but also missed multiple games for the third season in a row. The 5-11, 210 pound back projects as a sixth- or seventh-rounder as of now.

What will help at combine: Moss can make a man miss, but he’s more quick than fast. His 40 time likely won’t raise eyebrows but breaking 4.6 or even going low 4.5s would be nice. Just showing that he’s healthy during workouts could give him a shot at being selected at some point Day 3 instead drawing a camp invite as an undrafted free agent. 

Trey Zuhn III

Projected draft position: A longtime captain for the Aggies, Zuhn has been a force along A&M’s offensive line. He’s started 10-plus games each of the past four seasons and was first-team All-SEC in 2025 after earning third-team honors last year. At 6-foot-6, 315 pounds, his draft position may come down to whether teams view him as a tackle or guard, but he’s likely a mid-round pick.

What will help at combine: His prospect rankings vary wildly from top 40 (per CBS) to fringe top 200 (PFF, Tankathon). Are Zuhn’s arms long enough for a team to take a chance on him being a tackle? Or is he more a versatile depth play who can be a starter at multiple inside positions? He was an excellent pass protector on the edge in college, but most experts have him sliding inside to guard or center at the next level. Measurements, 40 time and on-field workouts will be key in determining if he can go any higher than Day 3.
