Aggies seize the Senior Bowl stage, stacking quality reps to showcase versatility and NFL readiness on both offense and defense.
The road to the 2026 NFL Draft officially ramps up this week for four Texas A&M veterans, as they prepare to showcase their skills on one of the league’s most important pre-draft stages: the Senior Bowl.
For these Aggies, the practices may matter just as much - if not more - than the game itself.
Offensive linemen Trey Zuhn and Dametrious Crownover headline the group, and their presence in Mobile speaks to both experience and reliability. The duo anchored Texas A&M’s offensive line over the past two seasons, starting at left and right tackle while consistently holding up in pass protection against SEC competition.
Zuhn, in particular, has drawn attention for his versatility. Already taking reps at center during Senior Bowl practices, he’s showing teams the kind of positional flexibility that can fast-track a rookie onto an NFL game-day roster.
Interior depth is always in demand, and a lineman who can slide between tackle and center immediately adds value, especially for teams looking for dependable early contributors.
Crownover enters the week with more to prove, but also more to gain. Standing 6-7 and tipping the scales north of 330 pounds, he looks the part of an NFL right tackle.
Scouts have questioned the refinement of his footwork and hand usage, but the raw traits and SEC experience are undeniable. That combination makes the Senior Bowl an ideal environment to change perceptions.
Those questions didn’t loom large during Tuesday’s practice, when Crownover went head-to-head with Texas Tech edge rusher Romello Height, a first-team All-Big 12 selection after a 9.5-sack season.
Crownover held his ground, staying square in pass protection, using clean hand placement, and finishing blocks with authority. Those are the types of reps that resonate with evaluators, especially when they come against proven production.
While early projections place Crownover in the late rounds - or even the undrafted category - strong practices can shift that narrative quickly. In contrast, Zuhn and guard Ar’maj Reed-Adams are already viewed as mid-round prospects, but continued consistency could push them higher.
Tight end Nate Boerkircher and linebacker Scooby Williams round out the Texas A&M contingent, giving the program representation on both sides of the ball.
All four players will suit up for the National Team in Saturday’s Senior Bowl, scheduled for 1:30 p.m. CT on NFL Network.
For each of them, this week isn’t just about one game - it’s about stacking quality reps, proving adaptability, and showing NFL teams they’re ready for the next level.
