Texas A&M offensive lineman Chase Bisontis, defensive end Cashius Howell, tight end Nate Boerkircher, defensive tackle Tyler Onyedim, defensive tackle Albert Regis and offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III were all selected on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft.
With KC Concepcion being selected 24th overall on Thursday and Texas A&M picking up six additional draft picks on Friday, the Aggies set a program record for most top-100 picks in a single NFL Draft. The seven overall selections through the first three rounds are the second-most nationally and trails Ohio State's eight picks.
Bisontis was the 34th overall pick in the draft and chosen by the Arizona Cardinals as the second selection in the second round. He becomes the 21st Aggie chosen all-time by the Cardinals and Texas A&M's first offensive lineman selected since Layden Robinson went in the fourth round to the New England Patriots in 2024.
Howell was the 41st overall pick in the draft and was chosen by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round. He becomes the 10th Texas A&M player chosen all-time by the Bengals and joins Aggie Shemar Stewart in Cincinnati, who was selected as the 17th overall pick by the Bengals in 2025.
Boerkircher was taken in the second round as the 56th overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, becoming the third Aggie chosen by the Jaguars all-time. Additionally, he becomes the first tight end selected since Jace Sternberger was picked in the third round by the Green Bay Packers in 2019. Boerkircher joins Aggie Antonio Johnson in Jacksonville after Johnson was selected in the fifth round by the organization in 2023.
Onyedim was Texas A&M's fifth selection in the 2026 NFL draft when he was taken 66th overall by the Denver Broncos in the third round. He is the seventh Aggie selected all-time by the Broncos and first since Von Miller was drafted as the second overall pick by the organization in 2011.
Regis was chosen as the 81st overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars and joins teammate Boerkircher in Jacksonville as the newest Jaguars. With Boerkircher and Regis both heading to Jacksonville, it marks the first time since 2021 that Texas A&M has had two players selected by the same organization in a single draft.
Zuhn was the Aggies' final draft pick of the night after he was selected 91st overall by the Las Vegas Raiders. He becomes the seventh Texas A&M player to be chosen by the Raiders and first since Shane Lechler was picked by the organization in the fifth round of the 2000 NFL Draft.
