With the 2025 season in the rear view and the 2026 NFL draft on the horizon, Texas A&M must prepare to say goodbye to several of the key pieces that helped fuel the Aggies most successful season in over a decade.

The Aggies best receiver and Paul Hornung Award winner KC Concepcion was the first underclassmen to declare for draft. However, there are a handful of other underclassmen that could also declare including linebacker Taurean York and interior offensive lineman Chase Bisontis. But both have until the January deadline to decide whether to forego the remainder of their collegiate eligibility.

With remaining underclassmen yet to declare and considering A&M honored 36 total players on senior day, here’s how the top official prospects are lining up on NFL draft boards:

Cashius Howell, redshirt senior EDGE

The former Bowling Green pass rusher dominated in his second season at A&M leading the Southeastern Conference in sacks with 11.5. Howell demonstrated a high motor and bag of pass rush moves all year, however his lack of run defense was exposed against Texas and Miami. While effective getting after the QB, Howell’s 30 6/8 inch wingspan is a major concern. Expect to hear his name called in the late-first or early-second round.

Expected range: Rounds 1-2

KC Concepcion, junior WR

The First Team All-SEC wide receiver and return specialist certainly made a name for himself in his lone season with A&M. KC Concepcion hauled in 919 yards and nine touchdowns to go along with two punt return touchdowns in 2025. With no real significant weaknesses he is ranked as the No. 4 WR in the draft, according to CBS Sports. With the ability to contribute on offense and special teams, Concepcion could go in the mid- to late-first round.

Expected range: Rounds 1-2

Trey Zuhn III, graduate student OT

The tenured Aggies left tackle capped off his A&M career by taking home the Jacobs Blocking Trophy while also finishing the regular season as the No. 1 rated pass blocker, according to Pro Football Focus. Despite standing at 6-6 the A&M coaching staff must have received word from NFL scouts that Zuhn is perceived as an interior talent, as he played 100-plus snaps at center during the Aggies’ 2025 campaign. With the versatility to play across the offensive line, expect Zuhn to be an early Day 3 pick.

Expected range: Rounds 4-5

Will Lee III, senior CB

After serving two seasons as the Aggies’ top cornerback, Will Lee III has built some impressive film guarding opposing team’s best receivers. Standing at 6-1, Lee has above average size for an NFL cornerback, which could attract several teams. While not recording an interception in 2025, Lee oversaw an A&M defense that allowed the 16th fewest yards per game in the nation. He’ll likely be an early Day 3 pick.

Expected range: Rounds 4-5

Ar’maj Reed-Adams, graduate student OG

Instead of entering his name in the 2025 draft, Ar’maj Reed-Adams opted to return to A&M for the chance to put together more film against SEC opponents. Reed-Adams picked up right where he left off for the Aggies mauling opponents in the run game. However, a continuous struggle with holding penalties and lackluster pass protection are certainly enough to have him fall down draft boards. As of right now, Reed-Adams could go mid-to-late Day 3.

Expected range: Rounds 5-6

Le’Veon Moss, senior RB

Injuries are the biggest red flag on Le’Veon Moss’ prospect profile after tearing his ACL and MCL in 2024, followed by an ankle injury in 2025. In total, Moss missed 10 games in the past two seasons, which will likely scare away some NFL scouts. The extremely physical runner recorded 404 rushing yards and six rushing downs in just seven games in 2025. However, Moss lost even more draft stock after aggravating his ankle in A&M’s lone CFP game. He’ll likely be a mid-to-late Day 3 pick.

Expected range: Rounds 5-6

Nate Boerkircher, graduate student TE

Nate Boerkircher spent four seasons as a primarily blocking tight end at Nebraska before breaking out at A&M in 2025. Boerkircher had 19 catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing reliable hands all season. He also had a handful of snaps at H-back with a single rushing touchdown. With prototypical size, strong blocking film and consistent ability, Boerkircher could hear his name called late Day 3.

Expected range: Rounds 6-7

Scooby Williams, senior LB

The second-year Florida transfer missed a majority of his senior season, but could still be coveted thanks to a solid mixture of size and athleticism. In two years with the Aggies, Williams recorded 62 total tackles (11.5 for loss) to go along with one sack and a pair of interceptions. If teams are looking for an athletic off-ball linebacker late on Day 3, Williams could be the guy.

Expected range: Rounds 6-7
