Texas A&M’s offense took a major step forward in 2025, finishing the regular season ranked 19th nationally - a leap that had a lot to do with the growth of quarterback Marcel Reed and the dynamic duo catching passes downfield. Reed posted a career-best 2,932 yards and 25 touchdowns, with nearly half of those scores going to wideouts KC Concepcion and Mario Craver. Together, they turned a once-stagnant passing game into a legitimate threat, especially in the red zone and on third down - two areas where A&M struggled late last season.
Craver, heading into what will be a pivotal junior campaign, is expected to return in 2026. Concepcion, however, stands at a career crossroads.
He’s got a decision to make: come back for one more year in College Station or head to the 2026 NFL Draft, where many scouts already view him as a first- or second-round pick. Either path could be the right one - it just depends on timing, opportunity, and what’s best for him and his family.
And Concepcion is handling it exactly the way you’d expect from a player who’s been a steady presence all season long - with maturity and focus. Speaking to reporters ahead of Texas A&M’s College Football Playoff opener against Miami, he made it clear that while the NFL is on the horizon, it’s not the priority right now.
“I have not made a decision yet,” Concepcion said. “Talking with my coaches, talking with my parents.
We're going to put our trust in God. Whatever He has in store for my future, we're going to go like that.”
It’s a measured response, and it reflects the reality of the modern college football landscape. Thanks to NIL opportunities, returning for a senior season isn’t the financial gamble it used to be.
For players like Concepcion - who brings elite versatility as a slot receiver and punt returner - the decision to stay or go is no longer just about draft stock. It’s about fit, development, and timing.
That said, Concepcion’s value at the next level is already clear. He’s a polished route-runner with soft hands, explosive after the catch, and dangerous in space - the kind of player who can contribute on offense and special teams from Day 1. NFL teams love that kind of versatility, and it’s why he’s so high on draft boards.
But that’s a conversation for another time. Right now, Concepcion’s only focus is Miami.
The Hurricanes await in the first round of the College Football Playoff, and Texas A&M has its eyes on a deeper run. For now, the draft talk can wait.
There’s still football to be played.
