Niblack embarks on his NFL journey, closing a college career marked by multiple programs and a quiet but steady final chapter with the Aggies.
Amari Niblack's college journey never followed a straight line, and fittingly, his goodbye didn't either.
The Texas A&M tight end announced Saturday that he is officially moving on to the next level and entering the 2026 NFL Draft, closing the book on a four-year career that spanned three programs and plenty of debate.

In a farewell message posted to Instagram, Niblack expressed gratitude to Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas A&M Aggies, notably leaving out his lone season at Texas.
"First and foremost, I thank God," Niblack wrote. "Everything I am and everything ahead is because of Him… This chapter of my college football career is closed. I'm moving forward with purpose and confidence into the next chapter pursuing my career at the next level."
For Aggies fans, Niblack's final stop in College Station was less about numbers and more about role.
He appeared in all 13 games during the 2025 season, hauling in five receptions for 69 yards while primarily functioning as a rotational tight end and depth piece in an offense that spread touches around.
It wasn't a breakout year, but it was a steady one, and it capped a career defined by flashes of upside rather than sustained production.
Those flashes were loudest earlier.
At Alabama, Niblack showed real promise as a sophomore in 2023, catching 20 passes for 327 yards and four touchdowns while looking like a future mismatch nightmare at tight end.
That momentum never fully carried forward. His 2024 season at Texas resulted in just five catches for 33 yards across nine games, a quiet stop that made his eventual move to College Station feel like a reset.
At Texas A&M, the expectations were modest but clear ... provide depth, versatility, and experience.
Niblack delivered on availability and professionalism, even if the stat line never popped. In a tight end room that rotated bodies and responsibilities, he became a reliable option rather than a featured weapon.
The farewell message itself raised eyebrows, particularly among Longhorn fans, but it also underscored where Niblack felt most rooted. Alabama gave him his best production. Texas A&M gave him his final platform.
Texas, at least publicly, didn't make the cut.
Now the focus shifts to the NFL, where Niblack's size, athletic profile, and early-career tape will matter more than raw college totals.
He'll enter the 2026 draft process as a developmental tight end—one with experience in multiple systems, exposure to elite programs, and plenty of motivation to prove his best football is still ahead.
For the Aggies, Niblack's departure won't shake the depth chart, but it does mark the end of a short, steady chapter. For Niblack, it's on to the next grind ... no transfers, no explanations, just results.
And no thanks to the Longhorns.
