Cashius Howell | DE/EDGE | Texas A&M | Law Nation Sports | NFL #Cowboys Draft Profile From overlooked three-star recruit to SEC impact defender. Cashius Howell began his journey at Bowling Green, where he developed into one of the MACs most productive pass rushers, tying for the conference lead with 9.5 sacks in 2023. That breakout earned him a transfer opportunity to Texas A&M under Mike Elko. In 2024, Howell made the jump to the SEC and proved he belonged. Playing the hybrid Jack role, he finished second on the team in sacks, recorded 17 QB pressures, and posted an elite 91.4 PFF pass-rush grade. With Nic Scourton and Shemar Stewart declaring for the draft, Howell enters 2025 positioned as the Aggies top edge threat. Strengths Explosive first step and natural bend Advanced hand usage and multiple pass-rush moves High motor and strong football IQ Scheme versatility with ability to drop into coverage Concerns Needs added strength vs power run schemes Anchor and finishing consistency Limited SEC sample size Outlook Howell profiles as a high-upside edge rusher whose speed and bend translate best in sub-packages early, with starting potential if strength development follows.
