Texas A&M's 2025 season has been one long "remember us?" tour, and now the hardware is starting to catch up.
From the opening shockwave at Notre Dame to the largest comeback in program history against South Carolina, the Aggies have muscled their way into the No. 7 spot and a home date with Miami in the College Football Playoff.
Before the Hurricanes roll into Kyle Field, though, six Aggies picked up some serious respect from SEC coaches.
The league released its All-SEC Coaches' teams on Tuesday, and Texas A&M planted three names on the first team in wide receiver KC Concepcion, offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III, and defensive end Cashius Howell.
Wideout Mario Craver, offensive lineman Chase Bisontis, and linebacker Taurean York landed on the third team.
Concepcion has been pure chaos for defensive coordinators all year. The NC State transfer turned into a human joystick in maroon, racking up 57 catches for 886 yards and nine touchdowns while also ripping defenses apart on jet sweeps and in the return game.
If A&M needed juice, No. 10 was usually the plug.
Up front, Zuhn has been the grown man in the room, anchoring one of the SEC's most dependable lines. His work - along with Bisontis and the rest of the unit - gave Marcel Reed the clean pockets he needed to cook and kept the run game on schedule.
You don’t hang a CFP banner without trench killers, and the Aggies have them.
Then there's Howell, the face of A&M's defensive attitude. Left off the preseason All-SEC list, he played like a guy with every receipt pinned in his locker. Howell finished with 19 tackles, 11.5 sacks and a forced fumble, living in backfields and blowing up RPOs like he'd seen the script the night before.
For someone once ranked around the 2,000th player in his class, this season felt like one long middle finger to the doubters.
Craver's Heisman buzz cooled after his 207-yard explosion at Notre Dame, but he still forced defenses to account for him every snap. York, a team captain, quietly stacked 67 tackles and a sack, the heartbeat of a defense that never flinched in big moments.
The Aggies' story isn't finished as the CFP awaits.
But if the rest of the country somehow missed it, these All-SEC nods say it loud ... Texas A&M's stars aren't just players in the playoff, they’re problems.
