Texas A&M’s defensive line is one of the country’s deepest and most talented units, mainly due to the play of starting defensive ends Nic Scourton and Shemar Stewart. However, no matter how the season ends, they are likely off the NFL after the 2024 season.
While both players are focused on facing the Auburn Tigers on Saturday night before hosting the Texas Longhorns in the regular season finale, ESPN NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller has been analyzing and breaking down film for 100s of 2025 NFL Draft-eligible players, especially those as talented as the aforementioned Aggie defenders.
On Thursday, Miller released his latest 2025 Mock Draft, in which Scourton and Stewart were both selected in the First Round.
Shemar Stewart is surprisingly selected higher than Scourton by the Miami Dolphins with the 13th Overall Pick, as Miller feels that impending free agency losses will make this a no-brainer for an organization looking for more in the pass rush department.
“He has inside-outside versatility, rare quickness for his size, good length and plenty of play power”
Nic Scourton is mocked seven spots lower than the Atlanta Falcons with the 20th Overall Pick, which is highly understandable given the organization’s NFL’s worst sack rating this season. At the same time, Scourton also offers versatility as a run-stopping defensive tackle.
“Though the 285-pounder might lack elite first-step explosion, he always comes with an excellent pass-rush plan and shows pro-grade hand usage, along with a surprising ability to bend the edge at his size.”
Wherever both players end up, two NFL teams are getting highly dependable athletes who are well-coached and well-traveled.
