2026 NFL Draft scouting report: Cashius Howell, EDGE, Texas A&M
Our latest scouting report for the 2026 NFL Draft is live as we look at edge rusher Cashius Howell.
The 2026 NFL Draft is stacked at the EDGE rusher position. There is a real chance we see more than five taken in the first round. One of the prospects who could sneak into the tail end of round one is Texas A&M's Cashius Howell.
Howell has the numbers to back up being a first-round pick, but what does the scouting report look like? Let's talk about it. Howell, a former three-star recruit out of Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Missouri, would originally commit to Bowling Green, where he would redshirt his first season and sparingly play the year after.
He would explode onto the scene in 2023 with 9. 5 sacks, finishing sixth in the country for linebackers. He would take this newfound stock and transfer to Texas A&M and Mike Elko.
He would sit behind Nic Scourton and Shemar Stewart, but immediately replace them in spades with a monster 11. 5 sack season, earning unanimous All-American honors. Cashius Howell immediately pops on tape due to being shot out of a cannon when the ball is snapped.
