He had a great lone season in College Station
After having an impressive start to his collegiate career and playing his first two seasons with the Purdue Boilermakers, Scourton transferred to the Texas A&M Aggies for the 2024 season. Scourton had an incredible first season in the SEC, recording 37 tackles, 14 TFLs, 34 pressures, 22 stops, five sacks, and one forced fumble. He also posted a 73.4 pass rush, a 75.8 run defense, and a 76.5 overall PFF grade.
Where does the elite pass rusher rank among prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft
Bleacher Report ranks Scourton as the sixteenth-best prospect and the second-best EDGE rusher, while PFF ranks him as the tenth and second-best, and ESPN ranks him as the eighth and the fourth-best. Either way, he will more than likely be selected in the first round, if not early in the second round.
