Heading into his third season at the helm, Texas A&M<\/a> head coach Mike Elko’s preseason premonition was that the Aggies would see at least ten or more players selected in the 2026 NFL draft<\/a>, and after Saturday’s third and final day of the annual event, a record ten Aggies heard their names called, led by first-round selection, and star wide receiver KC Concepcion<\/a>, who is headed to join the Cleveland Browns.<\/p>\n In the second round, former starting left guard Chase Bisontis and unanimous All-American edge Cashius Howell were immediately off the board, as the New Jersey native will likely start for the Arizona Cardinals during his rookie season, while Howell joins Texas A&M pass rusher Shemar Stewart in Cincinnati.<\/p>\n However, nothing matches Jacksonville’s shocking selection of tight end Nate Boerkircher<\/a> in the second round with the 56th overall pick, who also picked veteran defensive tackle Albert Regis in the third round, joining current starting safety and former Texas A&M standout Antonio Johnson.<\/p>\n Defensive tackle Tyler Onyedim (Denver Broncos) and reliable left tackle Trey Zuhn III (Las Vegas Raiders) were off the board in the third round, and on the third and final day, former star cornerback Will Lee III joins former safety Demani Richardson and edge Nic Scourton in Carolina, and will look to earn a rotational spot with the Panthers next season.<\/p>\n Finishing out the historic weekend, starting right tackle Dametrious Crownover was selected in the 6th round by the New England Patriots, while starting right guard Ar’maj Reed-Adams was the final Aggie selection in the 7th round, joining the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
