EJ Oakmon is East Texas A&M’s compact, high-efficiency red-zone punch
In the 2025 season, EJ Oakmon gave East Texas A&M a sneaky-effective two-way threat out of the backfield: 81 carries for 357 rushing yards, 9 rushing touchdowns, plus 13 catches for 93 yards, and he was named to Phil Steele’s preseason All-Southland second team for 2026. At 5-foot-8 and around 202 pounds, he brings low-center-of-gravity toughness, goal-line finishing ability, and enough receiving value to stay on the field. The big question isn’t talent—it’s volume and consistency in a larger workload.
