Texas A&Ms Senior Edge Rusher Cashius Howell: A Potential First-Round NFL Draft Pick Texas A&M is making history as they head to the College Football Playoff, with senior edge rusher Cashius Howell leading the charge. Howell, who transferred from Bowling Green less than two years ago, has had an exceptional season, leading the Southeastern Conference with eleven and a half sacks. His improved athleticism, strength, and pass-rush techniques, thanks to strength and conditioning coach Tommy Moffitt, have made him a formidable force on the field. Despite some concerns about his projected thirty-inch arm length, Howell has earned an impressive eighty overall defensive grade from Pro Football Focus, with a seventy-one point seven grade for run defense and a ninety point four grade for his pass rush. He is considered a potential first-round pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, with Pro Football Focus predicting he will be selected by the Washington Commanders as the sixth overall pick.

Coach Elko is also searching for a new offensive coordinator, with several strong candidates under consideration. These strategic hires aim to strengthen team management and recruitment efforts, ensuring Texas A&M remains competitive both on and off the field.

He was recently named to the 2025 All-SEC football first-team and played a crucial role in Texas A&Ms successful season. Zuhn, a redshirt senior and fourth-year starter, achieved the highest pass blocking grade in the country and helped the Aggies secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. His impressive performance has significantly boosted his NFL Draft stock, with ESPNs Mel Kiper projecting him as an interior lineman at the next level.
