Texas A&M linebacker Daymion Sanford expected to miss early season with injury
Summary

Texas A&M senior linebacker Daymion Sanford is projected to miss the first half of the 2026 season due to a lower-body injury sustained during the Maroon & White spring game. Sanford had a standout performance in 2025, earning SEC Player of the Week honors twice and recording 57 tackles, five sacks, and an interception. His absence will require sophomore Noah Mikhail and Ray Coney to step up as starters in the interim. Sanford's return is anticipated to significantly bolster the Aggies' defense as they aim for College Football Playoff contention.
