Texas A&M’s 7-2 record and 5-1 standing in SEC play wouldn’t have been possible without the play of junior star defensive end Nic Scourton, who is playing what is likely his final collegiate season before entering the NFL Draft.

Scourton’s story is inspiring for every young football player currently being overlooked by big-time college programs, as the Bryan, Texas native was overlooked by his hometown Texas A&M Aggies under former head coach Jimbo Fisher, instead accepting an offer to play for the Purdue Boilermakers.

After two seasons in Indiana, Scourton quickly became a household name, racking up 72 tackles, 12 sacks, and nearly 20 tackles for loss before transferring back home to Texas A&M. In nine games, Scourton’s 12,5 tackles for loss ranks tenth in the SEC, recording five sacks and 27 tackles.

This week, after being named a Bednarik Award finalist, Scourton has also received an invitation to the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl and will be one of the more heavily scouted prospects during the week.

Scourton is a power rush with elite defensive instincts against the run, and his one spin move is more than enough to wreak havoc in the backfield at the next level based on his strength alone.
