Texas A&M wrapped up their 2025 season with an impressive 11-2 record, going 7-1 in SEC play. Their journey to the College Football Playoff, though cut short by a 10-3 loss to Miami, marked a significant achievement for coach Mike Elko and his experienced squad. Key contributors to this success were transfer wide receivers Mario Craver and KC Concepcion.
As we look ahead to 2026, the Aggies' wide receiver lineup will undergo some changes. Mario Craver is set to return for another season, having re-signed with the team in December.
Meanwhile, KC Concepcion is making the leap to the NFL after a standout year at Texas A&M, following two seasons at NC State. Concepcion, much like his teammate Trey Zuhn III, showcased remarkable versatility and made an immediate impact, particularly as a punt returner.
In his last season, Concepcion recorded a career-high 919 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. He also electrified fans with two punt return touchdowns, including a memorable run during Texas A&M's commanding 49-25 victory over LSU.
Concepcion was the go-to target for quarterback Marcel Reed, and his performance has positioned him as a likely first-round draft pick. At the recent combine, Concepcion emphasized his prowess as a slot receiver, saying, "As soon as I get the ball in my hands, it's electric. Whether it's a screen, a slant, or a fade, I'm going to catch it and make something happen."
Though he chose not to run or jump at the combine, Concepcion participated in several on-field drills. He excelled in the hands drill, flawlessly catching passes from right to left.
His speed and ability to outrun defenders along the boundary, despite his shorter stature, were on full display. Concepcion's knack for quickly separating from coverage is sure to boost his draft prospects significantly.
