The Dallas Cowboys need a lot of help on defense, and they might get it from a Texas A&M football player.
Per source, the Dallas Cowboys met with all five Texas A&M players at the @ShrineBowl this week.

Cowboys doing their due diligence on the in-state talent while at The Star.
All five of those Aggies are making their names known with America's Team, and it's not out of the picture for the Cowboys to pick one of them.
Knowing that the Cowboys already have a lot of money invested in Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Osa Odighizuwa, a defensive tackle may not be necessary. There isn't much elite cornerback talent in this draft class, but for the Cowboys, their most likely option is obvious.
Cowboys would make sense to go for Taurean York in the draft
There were some mock drafts where the Cowboys would pick Cashius Howell to fix their pass rushing, but as Jaxson Callaway says, LB Taurean York in the fourth round may be the pick that makes the most sense.
Texas A&M has 10 players expected to be drafted, per @_mockdrafts:
— Jaxson Callaway (AT) (@AggiesToday) January 27, 2026
Cashius Howell: 1st
KC Concepcion: 1st
Chase Bisontis: 2nd
Will Lee: 3rd
Taurean York: 4th
Ar’Maj Reed-Adams: 5th
Trey Zuhn: 5th
Tyler Onyedim: 6th
Albert Regis: 6th
Scooby Williams: 7th
The Cowboys need linebackers to save their lives. Sonny Styles, CJ Allen, or Anthony Hill may be a pick for the first-round, but they also need a safety, like Caleb Downs. A pass rusher like Howell or Akheem Mesidor would make sense, too, but either way, the Cowboys could save York for later in the draft.
Jerry Jones still needs to decide what they would do with Kenneth Murray and Jack Sanborn, as both LBs had a bad year, but with the signing of Christian Parker as the new DC, he's already cleaning house.
The Cowboys need to overload on literally every position, and if we're going to be honest, they may not pick an offensive player until the last round. Ar'maj Reed-Adams as a Cowboy would be nice, but notice how four out of five of those Aggies are on defense.
The Cowboys have plenty of options, but it's most likely that they could go with York in the fourth round if they choose to focus their first-round picks on safety and outside linebacker.
