Ray Coney, the Tulsa transfer linebacker, has left fans of college football agog with his 128 tackles in 2025. This isn’t your average freshman trying to make a name for himself; Coney’s performance has caught the attention of NFL analysts, who are salivating at the prospect of what he can do with a year of Southeastern Conference play under his belt.
The SEC, one of the most competitive college football leagues in the country, is notorious for breaking players. It’s not just about the physical challenges of tackling behemoths in the trenches or the mental strain of playing with the stakes raised to maximum – it’s also about adapting to the relentless pace of the league and the unending scrutiny of opposing coaches and media.
One of those analysts who’s been watching Coney’s development is a respected voice in the NFL Draft community. He says he’s ‘intrigued’ to see how Coney holds up in the SEC and whether he can build on last year’s impressive numbers. With 128 tackles to his name, Coney is already one of the most accomplished line backers in the league. His ability to rack up tackles will be put to the test this season as he takes on the best of the SEC.
Coney’s decision to transfer to Texas A&M was seen as a bold move by many, but it’s also a testament to the young linebacker’s ambition and confidence. When asked about his expectations for the upcoming season, Coney said, ‘I know it won’t be easy, but I’ve worked too hard to let complacency creep in. I’m ready to take on the best the SEC has to offer and show them what I’m capable of.’
With Coney expected to take on a starring role for the Aggies this season, fans are buzzing with excitement. They know that the 128 tackles he put up last season were just a glimpse of what’s to come. The question now is: will Coney be able to maintain that pace in the grueling SEC schedule?
Fans will have to wait until September 3rd to find out as Texas A&M takes on Sam Houston State in its season opener. In the meantime, Coney’s name will continue to be bandied about in NFL Draft circles as a possible top pick. His performance this season will be crucial in determining whether he’ll make the jump to the pros or continue his college career for another year.
The NFL Draft is always a mystery, but with Ray Coney’s 128 tackles in 2025 as a benchmark, one thing’s for sure: he’s a name to watch this season.
