DT Justin Madubuike declares for NFL Draft, will not play in Texas Bowl

Aggie fans got the news they were likely expecting but did not want to hear on Thursday: junior defensive end Justin Madubuike will forego his senior season and enter the 2020 NFL Draft. Madubuike also announced that he will not play in the Texas Bowl against Oklahoma State on Dec. 27.

Madubuike’s decision shouldn’t come as a shock. He was a dominant interior lineman all season for A&M, leading the team in sacks (5.5) and tackles for loss (11.5). He will likely be a first or second-round pick in the draft.
