Texas A&M is making a statement this draft season - and it’s a loud one. Thirteen Aggies have received invites to the 2026 NFL Combine, a staggering jump from the three players the program sent last year.
That kind of leap doesn’t just happen by accident. It speaks volumes about the foundation Mike Elko has laid in College Station in a short amount of time.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t just a feel-good moment. It’s a sign of a program that’s beginning to churn out NFL-ready talent at a serious clip. And if Elko’s preseason remarks are any indication - that the true measure of a team’s talent is seen in how many players make it to the league, not just how many stars they had coming out of high school - then this group might be one of the most talent-rich squads Aggieland has seen in years.
The Aggies Headed to Indy
Here’s the full list of Texas A&M players who’ll be putting their skills on display in Indianapolis:
- RB Le'Veon Moss
- WR KC Concepcion
- OL Chase Bisontis
- OL Ar'maj Reed-Adams
- OL Dametrious Crownover
- OL Trey Zuhn
- TE Nate Boerkircher
- DE Cashius Howell
- DT Albert Regis
- DT Tyler Onyedim
- LB Taurean York
- LB Scooby Williams
- CB Will Lee
That's a deep, well-rounded list - and it covers every level of the field. From the trenches to the secondary, from power backs to pass-catchers, the Aggies are sending a full roster’s worth of talent to the Combine. And that number doesn’t even include players like Rueben Fatheree, Dayon Hayes, and Tyreek Chappell, who aren’t on the official invite list but could still hear their names called on draft weekend.
A Reflection of Development - and a Glimpse at the Future
This kind of representation at the Combine is more than just a recruiting pitch - though you can bet it’ll be used as one. It’s a testament to player development, strategic use of the transfer portal, and a coaching staff that knows how to put guys in positions to succeed.
Yes, there’s going to be some natural concern about what all this outbound talent means for the Aggies in 2026. Especially when you see how many of these players are linemen - both offensive and defensive.
But the staff has been proactive. The portal has become a key tool in restocking the roster, and early signs suggest the Aggies aren’t going to be caught flat-footed.
Stock Watch: Who Can Rise (or Fall)?
The Combine is always a pressure cooker. It’s where measurables meet momentum.
Some of these Aggie prospects are going to boost their stock in a big way - whether it’s a 40 time that turns heads or a position drill that shows off polish and upside. Others may face tougher questions if the numbers don’t match the tape.
But here’s the bottom line: every name on that list has a legitimate shot to be drafted. That’s not something every program can say. And for Texas A&M fans, the upcoming Combine isn’t just about watching former players chase their NFL dreams - it’s proof that the program is building something sustainable, something real.
The Aggies are sending a squad to Indy. And if this trend continues, we might be looking at the early stages of a pipeline to the pros that runs straight through College Station.
