Concepcion, a junior, leads Texas A&M with 57 catches for 886 yards and nine touchdowns. He also leads the SEC with 460 punt return yards and 12 total touchdowns, becoming the first Aggie in the modern era to score via rush, reception and punt return in the same season. Concepcion is a finalist for the Paul Hornung Award.
Howell, a redshirt senior, leads the SEC with 11.5 sacks and ranks fourth with 14.0 tackles for loss. His sack total matches the most by an Aggie since Myles Garrett in 2014. According to Pro Football Focus, Howell has generated 41 quarterback pressures and ranks second nationally among defensive ends with six pass breakups. He is a finalist for both the Lombardi Award and Chuck Bednarik Award.
Zuhn anchors an offensive line that helps Texas A&M average 454.4 total yards per game. The Aggies rank in the top 35 nationally in total offense, scoring, rushing, passing, passing efficiency and time of possession.

He is a Biletnikoff Award finalist.
Bisontis, a junior, earned a career-high 77.2 pass blocking grade this season. The 6-foot-5, 315-pound guard did not allow a sack and gave up just two quarterback hits during the regular season. Texas A&M improved by nearly 50 total yards and 6.0 points per game compared to 2024.
