The 2025 Texas A&M Aggies didn’t stumble their way to 11-1. They bullied, sprinted and juked their way there, and no one embodied that chaos more than KC Concepcion.
On a roster packed with headliners - Marcel Reed dealing from the pocket and torching defenses with his legs, Cashius Howell terrorizing quarterbacks with 11.5 sacks off the edge - it was Concepcion who consistently flipped games on their head.
Whenever Texas A&M needed a spark, No. 1 was usually the one holding the match.

That versatility was officially crowned on Wednesday afternoon when Concepcion was named the winner of the Paul Hornung Award, given annually to the most versatile player in college football.
He's the first Aggie ever to bring the trophy back to College Station, and the first SEC player to win it since Alabama star DeVonta Smith in 2020.
The numbers only tell part of the story, but they're ridiculous on their own.
Concepcion led the Aggies in every major receiving category, hauling in 57 passes for 886 yards and nine touchdowns. He was Reed's security blanket, deep threat and "break glass in case of emergency" option all rolled into one.
Concepcion turned eight rushing attempts into 63 yards and a touchdown, including a critical scoring run in the regular-season finale against Texas that briefly swung momentum in A&M's favor on a wild night in Austin.
Then there's the part that keeps special teams coordinators up at night.
As a punt returner, Concepcion was a straight-up problem. He fielded 24 punts for 460 yards, housing two of them - one in the opener against UTSA and another in the statement win over LSU - and came close several other times. Any kick in his direction felt like a bad decision waiting to be exposed.

Concepcion's rise has also come to define this version of the Aggies ... fast, fearless and completely unconcerned with your game plan. Take a bad angle, lose lane integrity or miss a tackle, and he'll turn it into a meme in real time.
Now the newly crowned king of versatility gets an even bigger stage.
Concepcion and the Aggies will try to keep the fireworks coming when Texas A&M hosts the Miami Hurricanes at Kyle Field in the first round of the College Football Playoff on December 20.
If recent history is any indication, Miami better know exactly where No. 7 is before every snap ... or they'll find out the hard way.
