The Aggies' Undefeated Run isn't a solo act. Get to know game-breaking receivers KC Concepcion and Mario Craver, edge-rusher Cashius Howell, and defensive general Taurean York, all poised to impact the rivalry game on Friday.
We all know the prowess of Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed.
His stats speak for themself, throwing for over 2700 yards with a 25-8 touchdown to interception ratio, and commanding a top-10 scoring offense in the nation. It's why Reed is fifth in the Heisman Trophy odds, sitting at +1000, according to BetMGM
However, the Aggies haven't made it this far undefeated through the efforts of just one player -- their team has playmakers littered throughout the roster.
In case you're not familiar with some of these names, we've got you covered.
KC Concepcion
Texas A&M's offense features an elite wide receiver duo, with Concepcion shining the brightest through its first 11 games.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound wide receiver is not the biggest by any means, but he uses his 4.4 speed to neutralize that disadvantage. Concepcion leads the Aggies in receiving yards with 829 and receiving touchdowns with nine.
Concepcion also has the versatility to line up out wide or in the slot, giving opposing defenses more to worry about. He's a game breaker and one to watch out for on Friday.
Mario Craver
Wide receiver Mario Craver is the second wideout in A&M's aforementioned electric WR duo.
Craver, like Concepcion, does not possess tons of size, standing 5 feet, 9 inches tall.
But also like his counterpart, Craver has electric speed, helping him account for 781 receiving yards this season. His pace was on full display against Notre Dame in week two, when he touched 21.8 MPH on his 72-yard touchdown grab.
Accounting for Craver and Concepcion will be a monumental task for a sprawling Texas secondary.
Cashius Howell
Senior edge-rusher Cashius Howell has been an absolute monster this season, terrorizing opposing offensive linemen.
Howell's specialty is rushing the passer, and he's pretty good at it, recording 11.5 sacks thus far, ranking tied for second in college football. His performance has made him a top prospect for NFL teams in the upcoming draft, slotting in as the third-ranked outside linebacker according to ESPN's Mel Kiper.
Texas left tackle Trevor Goosby will have his hands full trying to slow down the unit that is Howell.
Taurean York
While Howell serves as the team wrecking ball, linebacker Taurean York operates as the general of the defense.
York often lines up at the middle linebacker position, putting him in a position to make plays, and he often does, leading the team in total tackles with 56.
On Friday, he'll be one of the Aggies trying to stifle a subpar Longhorns rushing attack.
