Pro Day Standouts: Three Texas A&M NFL Draft prospects who impressed
With the 2026 NFL Draft rapidly approaching, here are three Texas A&M prospects who impressed on Pro Day.
After sending the most players from any college football program to the 2026 NFL Combine in February, Texas A&M's stars preparing for their jump to the league showcased their talents at the Aggies' Pro Day on Wednesday. With the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, rapidly approaching, multiple Aggies are projected to land in the first round. Wednesday's scouting event allowed NFL scouts from all 32 organizations to get a firsthand look at what each player could bring to Sundays in 2026.
Here are the top three standouts from Texas A&M's Pro Day, as 23 Aggies prepare for their potential jump from the Maroon and White to the NFL: 1. Cashius Howell (DE) Career stats: 126 TOT (72 SOLO) | 15 PD | 27 SACK | 3 FF | 1 INT Attributes: Height : 6-2 2/8 Weight: 262 Hand: 9 Arm: 31 Wingspan: 73 1/2 Bench Press: 22 Pro Day evaluation: Howell is considered one of the most dynamic defensive ends in the 2026 NFL Draft for a reason. He hit 22 reps on the bench press event during Pro Day.
Howell's strength, agility, and overall build are qualities that NFL franchises seek in draft prospects. The projected first-rounder from Kansas City, Missouri, was an anchor up front for Texas A&M's defense in 2025, becoming the first Aggie since Von Miller to record multiple three-sack performances in a single season.
