Texas A&M defensive tackle CJ Mims is set to play a key role in the 2026 football season. Mims, a transfer from North Carolina, has experience as a rotational player, appearing in 12 games and starting nine. He recorded 42 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 2.0 sacks, and a forced fumble for the Tar Heels. With significant departures on the defensive line, Texas A&M is counting on Mims to stabilize the interior and lead the defensive tackle rotation as they look to fill the gaps caused by the loss of both starting tackles. Mims is a redshirt senior and his performance will be crucial for the Aggies' defensive strategy this season.
