Watt before being traded to the Rams in June.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6u\">For the first time in his career, Mike Evans suits up for a team other than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, signing with the San Francisco 49ers this past March, joining another Aggie wideout in Christian Kirk.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6z\">No surprising cuts affected any Aggies throughout the process, with household names such as Garrett and De&#8217;Von Achane ready to show why they are amongst the best at their respective positions, while Nic Scourton was named to the team, but will spend the 2026 season on injured reserve thanks to a torn ACL suffered on the very first day of training camp. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"74\">So with that, here is every single Texas A&amp;M alumnus that was named to an active NFL roster, sorted by position. <\/p>\n<p>Every Active Texas A&amp;M Player and Where They Are Playing in 2026<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
