Familiar Aggies Are Showing Up In Some Unexpected NFL Places

Discover how Texas A&M is making its mark in the NFL with a historic class of draftees and seasoned veterans reshaping the league's landscape.

Texas A&M’s footprint around the NFL is as big as ever heading into the 2026 season, and the Aggies have spread all over the league again.

The headline names are still the familiar ones. Myles Garrett, Mike Evans and Jake Matthews remain among the most established Texas A&M products in the NFL, but they’re no longer the only story. A new group arrived this spring when 10 Aggies were selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, tying the program’s single-draft record and giving A&M an even larger presence entering Week 1.

As of Sept. 1, Texas A&M lists 41 former Aggies on NFL rosters.

That total includes every member of the record-tying 2026 draft class, though second-round pick Chase Bisontis is currently on the reserve/injured list with the Arizona Cardinals. Other former Aggies are still around the league on practice squads or reserve lists.

The veteran movement was just as notable. Garrett was traded from Cleveland to the Los Angeles Rams.

Evans left Tampa Bay after his entire NFL career there and signed with the San Francisco 49ers. Von Miller is back in his home state with the Dallas Cowboys, Christian Kirk also landed in San Francisco, and Micheal Clemons is with the Indianapolis Colts.

The result is a fresh round of unfamiliar uniforms for some of A&M’s biggest names.

Here’s where the Aggies are on active NFL rosters entering the 2026 season:

Jake Matthews, OL, Atlanta Falcons

Nnamdi Madubuike, DL, Baltimore Ravens

Ar'maj Adams, OL, Buffalo Bills

Bobby Brown III, DL, Carolina Panthers

Texas A&M Revives A Meaningful Tradition For Arizona State Game

Texas A&M is using its September 12 game against Arizona State to revisit one of the programs most recognizable traditions, tying the night to both the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and the nations 250th birthday. The school will again sell Standing for America T-shirts, keeping a patriotic fundraiser that fits neatly with the Aggies military-rooted identity and the way the university has long framed these moments as part of its football culture.

This years proceeds are set to support the expansion of the Hall of Honor at the Memorial Student Center, giving the tribute a destination beyond the stadium and a direct link to campus history. The game itself will carry the usual emotional weight of a remembrance night, but the added wrinkle is how much this version of the tradition will continue to connect on-field pageantry with a project that could shape how future generations experience Texas A&Ms story.

Dabo Swinneys Week 1 Fallout Just Got More Uncomfortable

Clemsons ugly Week 1 loss to LSU has already put Dabo Swinney under an uncomfortable spotlight, and the conversation only got sharper when he met the media before Week 2. Asked about whether he had any regrets with the way the roster was built, Swinney did not give a direct answer, instead steering the discussion toward the end of the season and away from drawing conclusions after one game.

He also showed visible frustration with the direction of the questions while his team sits at 0-1, a reminder that the fallout from a one-sided opening loss is about more than the score itself. For anyone following Clemson from a Texas A&M angle, it is the kind of early-season noise that can linger if the Tigers do not settle things quickly, and Swinney is already being pressed on decisions he would clearly rather leave for later.

Alabama Just Reached A Huge Recruiting Moment With Elite WR Prospect

The chase for Braylon Clark has already turned into one of those early recruiting battles that tells you everything about how coveted the elite 2028 receiver is becoming. Ranked No. 6 in his class by Rivals, Clark has trimmed his list to 12 schools, and the group reflects just how wide the national reach is for a prospect with this kind of profile. He has spent time visiting plenty of the programs still in the mix, giving each staff a chance to make an impression long before the finish line comes into view.

Ohio State is viewed as the current favorite in Rivals insider predictions, but the rest of Clarks list leaves plenty of room for movement. Six SEC programs remain in the hunt, along with Miami, Clemson, Indiana, Oregon and Southern California, which should keep the competition fierce as his recruitment develops. For a player this highly regarded, the next few steps will matter, and every visit only adds another layer to a race that figures to stay crowded for a while. [Read more 🡒]
