Texas A&M’s KC Concepcion has ‘not made a decision’ regarding future
Dec. 16, 2025, 5:06 a.m. CT
Texas A&M’s 2025 offense finished the regular season ranked 19th nationally, while starting quarterback Marcel Reed threw for a career high 2,932 yards and 25 touchdowns, with 13 going to star wide receivers KC Concepcion and Mario Craver, who completely rejuvenated a passing attack that failed to move the needle in key games down the stretch last season.
While Craver is expected to return next season for his all-important junior year, Concepcion has a choice to make regarding his future, choosing between a final year in College Station or declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft, where he is expected to be a first or second-round selection.
Whatever choice he makes is entirely up to him and his family, and while those of us in the media have written numerous articles about his draft standing, returning for his senior season could benefit his NFL future. Still, Concepcion is as mature as they come and is entirely focused on facing the Miami Hurricanes this Saturday during the first round of the College Football Playoff.
On Monday, Concepcion took questions from the media ahead of the game and was asked about his potential return or a draft declaration.
“I have not made a decision yet.”
“Talking with my coaches, talking with my parents. We’re going to put our trust in God. Whatever He has in store for my future, we’re going to go like that.”
In today’s college football landscape, NIL deals have made returning for a final season much more appealing than the old structure, so a return in 2026 is not out of the question. However, Concepcion is viewed as one of the top prospects for his elite versatility as an NFL slot receiver and as a Day 1 punt return specialist.
This decision will be saved for the offseason, because defeating Miami and making it to the CFP Quarterfinals is all that matters right now.
