The Texas A&M Aggies football program is sending a program-record 13 players to the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, the most of any college football team. The Aggies, who went 11-2 and reached the College Football Playoff in 2025, are sending a star-studded group of prospects to the league's top pre-draft event, including wide receiver KC Concepcion, running back Le'Veon Moss, and several offensive linemen and defensive players.

Why it matters

Texas A&M's impressive showing at the NFL Combine reflects the team's breakout 2025 season and the depth of talent on the roster. The Aggies' 13 invitees lead all schools, followed by Alabama, Ohio State, and LSU, underscoring the SEC's continued dominance in producing NFL-caliber talent. This is a significant milestone for the program and highlights the work of head coach Mike Elko in developing players for the next level.

The Aggies are also sending a talented offensive line group, including first-team All-SEC tackle Trey Zuhn III, along with defensive standouts like edge rusher Cashius Howell, who led the team with 11.5 sacks.
