They break down several Aggies prospects, including EDGE Cashius Howell, who has been linked to the Chicago Bears in some recent mock drafts.
They also discuss wide receiver KC Concepcion, offensive tackle Trey Zuhn III, and others. Howell (6’2. 5”, 253) may not have the prototypical build for a Dennis Allen defensive end, but there’s no denying his ability to rush the passer.
Catalina said that Howell’s first year after transferring from Bowling Green (2024), he was a situational pass rusher behind Nic Scourton (now with the Panthers) and Shemar Stewart (Bengals). “But this year, he [Howell] came in noticeably bigger. He came in noticeably stronger with a different type of attitude, different type of edge being the main guy with the most opportunities.
I mean, he really never looked like a guy who came from the MAC, right? ” “Like playing at Bowling Green and then going to the SEC is just night and day as far as talent and effort. But, man, he really did explode on the scene.
