Dec 09, 2025 | Football
BIRMINGHAM – Six members of the College Football Playoff-bound Texas A&M football team received All-SEC honors by a vote of the league head coaches, the SEC announced on Tuesday.
Representing the 11-1 Aggies on the All-SEC first team were wide receiver/punt returner KC Concepcion, defensive end Cashius Howell and offensive tackle Trey Zuhn III. Earning mention on the all-conference third team were wide receiver Mario Craver, offensive guard Chase Bisontis and linebacker Taurean York.
Concepcion, a junior from Charlotte, North Carolina, earned first-team honors at wide receiver, return specialist and all-purpose. He leads the team with 57 catches for 886 yards with an SEC-best nine touchdowns (tie) while leading the league with 460 punt return yards. He leads all SEC receivers with 12 total touchdowns and became the first Texas A&M player in the modern era of football to reach the end zone via rush, reception and punt return in a season. Concepcion is a finalist for the Paul Hornung Award, which is presented to the most versatile player in major college football.
Howell, a redshirt senior from Kansas City, Missouri, enters the postseason as the SEC sack leader with 11.5 and is tied for fourth with 14.0 tackles for loss. His 11.5 sacks are the most by an Aggie since Myles Garrett posted the same total in 2014. According to Pro Football Focus, Howell has generated 41 quarterback pressures, with three-plus pressures in seven-of-12 regular season games. Howell ranks second nationally among defensive ends with six pass breakups. He is a finalist for the Lombardi Award and Chuck Bednarik Award.
Zuhn, a graduate student from Fort Collins, Colorado, clears the way for a Texas A&M offense that averages 454.4 total yards per game and ranks as the only team in the top 35 nationally in total offense, scoring, rushing, passing, passing efficiency and time of possession. Zuhn owns the nation's highest pass blocking grade at 96.9 and has given up just a single sack on 382 pass snaps in 2025, according to PFF. A fixture on the Aggies' offensive front for five seasons, the 6-6, 319-pound Zuhn has made 49 career starts and played over 3,000 offensive snaps during his career.
Craver, a sophomore from Birmingham, Alabama, leads the team with an average of 82.4 scrimmage yards (rushing and receiving) while gaining 14.4 yards per offensive touch. He has reeled in 52 receptions for 825 yards and four touchdowns while chipping in 81 yards and a score on 11 rushes. Craver is the nation's lone player with a 200-plus receiving yards game against an Associated Press top 25 opponent in 2025 after he gained 207 yards on seven catches in the Aggies' 41-40 road win over then-No. 8 Notre Dame. Craver is a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, which is presented annually to the nation's top receiver.
Bisontis, a junior from Ramsey, New Jersey, has been a key to the offensive improvement with a career-high 77.2 pass blocking grade this season, according to PFF. The 6-5, 315-pound Bisontis did not allow a sack and gave up just two QB hits during the 2025 regular season via PFF. Texas A&M added nearly 50 total yards and 6.0 points per game compared to 2024, while gaining 3,000-plus passing and 2,000-plus rushing yards in the same season for the 12th time in program history.
York, a junior from Temple, Texas, leads the team with 68 tackles and had three games with 10-plus tackles, including a season-high 11 stops against Texas. The two-time team captain ranks second on the squad with 6.5 tackles for loss and five quarterback hurries.
No. 7-seed Texas A&M hosts the No. 10 Miami Hurricanes (10-2) in a CFP first round game at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 20 at Kyle Field. The Aggies, under the direction of second-year head coach Mike Elko, completed the second 11-win regular season in school history and the first-ever perfect 7-0 home worksheet in 2025.
