COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) – Texas A&M wide receiver and punt return specialist KC Concepcion declared for the 2026 NFL Draft and will forego his remaining college eligibility.

Concepcion began his collegiate career at NC State and immediately made an impact in his lone season with the Aggies, bolstering an offense that desperately needed to improve its passing game and providing a spark on special teams.

Concepcion is the first Aggie to be named a Paul Hornung Award winner for the nation’s most versatile player. He was second in all of Division One football with 460 punt return yards in the regular season. His 12 total touchdowns rank fourth among all receivers in the country, finding the endzone this season with a rush, a reception, and a punt return. He led the Aggies with 61 catches for 919 yards.

In his three seasons between the Aggies (2025) and the Wolfpack (2023-24), he totaled 185 catches for 2,218 yards, 25 touchdowns, while adding 431 rushing yards on 70 carries for three scores.

The transfer from NC State is a consensus All-American as an All-Purpose player after earning first-team honors by the FWAA, AP and AFCA. He landed on the second team as a punt returner from The Sporting News.
