Texas A&M’s Will Lee III Declares for 2026 NFL Draft
The decision caps a JUCO-to-FBS ascent that has positioned him as the face of an improving Texas A&M secondary.
Overview
- Lee said he will leave after this season to pursue the NFL, formally declaring for the 2026 draft and foregoing his final JUCO-waiver year of eligibility.
- The senior’s path runs from Iowa Western JUCO All-American honors to Kansas State and then Texas A&M, shaping a profile closely watched by pro scouts.
- He broke out in 2024 with 42 tackles and 10 pass breakups, leading the Aggies in deflections and ranking among SEC leaders.
- Early this fall he helped secure a 16-10 win at Auburn by holding Cam Coleman to four receptions for 18 yards.
- Teammate Tyreek Chappell disclosed a 2024 ACL/MCL tear, a setback that led to more zone coverage and heavy snaps for Dezz Ricks, contributing to the secondary’s early-season strides.
