Texas A&M RB EJ Smith Declares for 2026 NFL Draft

Emmitt Smith voiced support after his son announced the move on Instagram.

Overview

  • The announcement came a little more than a week after Texas A&M’s season ended with a 10–3 CFP first-round loss to Miami.
  • Smith is a sixth-year senior who played 2020–23 at Stanford before spending the past two seasons at Texas A&M.
  • In 2025 he logged 44 carries for 205 yards and four touchdowns, plus four receptions for 18 yards.
  • Across his college career he totaled 969 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 207 attempts, with 71 catches for 470 yards and one receiving score.
  • Texas A&M’s backfield depth was hit by Le’Veon Moss’s ACL and MCL tear, increasing opportunities for Smith alongside Amari Daniels, and he now enters a draft set for April 23–25, 2026 in Pittsburgh.
