Thursday marked the first of four days in the 2026 NFL Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, and the action saw four of Texas A&M's record 13 players take part in various skills showing off their athletic ability to all 32 NFL teams.

Day 1 saw edge rusher Cashius Howell, linebacker Taurean York, and defensive linemen Albert Regis and Tyler Onyedim show off their talent, while linebacker Scooby Williams did not partake in any drills.

There was plenty of eye-catching displays from Mike Elko's squad inside the Colts' home stadium, and it's only the first day of action.

As was the case for the Aggies in the 2025 season, Howell shined bright amongst his A&M brethren, registering the top 10-yard split time amongst the edge rusher position with a time of 1.58 seconds.

Howell also registered the fifth-fastest 40-yard dash time in his position, with an official time of 4.59 seconds.

Team-wise, multiple mock drafts have pointed Howell in the direction of the current AFC champions, the New England Patriots, who recently took a loss in Super Bowl LX against the Seattle Seahawks.

Albert Regis paced the defensive tackles in the broad jump, soaring nine feet and eight inches, and turned in the second-highest vertical amongst the others at his position with a 34-inch leap.
