Meet Texas A&M’s Next NFL Pass-Rushing Phenom
Cashius Howell exploded onto the SEC scene after transferring from Bowling Green, wrapping up his final college season with 11.5 sacks to lead the conference. Standing 6-foot-4 and 254 pounds, Howell not only dominated offensive tackles but also dropped into coverage to notch six pass deflections—an unusual stat line for a relentless edge rusher. Scouts debate his arm length, but his record of multiple multi-sack performances, including a three-quarterback takedown streak against Utah State, cements Howell as a top-50 NFL Draft prospect and a potential Defensive Player of the Year at the next level.
Buckle up, NFL GMs: Texas A&M’s own sacking general Cashius Howell is ready to obliterate pocket passers in cleats more expensive than your season tickets. Who cares about those measly arm-length metrics when you’ve got a guy who bulldozes offensive lines like they’re made of marshmallows? Rumor has it he even dreams in quarterback sacks. If your team’s defensive identity isn’t built around Howell’s highlight-reel havoc, do you even defense?
Clash in Baton Rouge: A&M vs LSU Weekend Showdown
This weekend’s Texas A&M-LSU series at Alex Box Stadium features two of college baseball’s most potent offenses and deep pitching staffs. The Aggies boast a .590 slugging percentage and a .451 on-base average, bolstered by arms like redshirt junior Shane Sdao and sophomore Aiden Sims. LSU counters with reliable aces Casan Evans, Grant Fontenot, and William Schmidt, anchoring a pitching rotation rated among the SEC’s best. Both teams are jockeying for SEC standings and Regional hosting rights, making each inning a potential turning point.
Welcome to the SEC’s version of “Pitchers and Hitters Throwdown,” where every homer feels like a personal insult and every strikeout summons the wrath of a thousand tailgaters. If you thought baseball was a leisurely stroll, think again—this weekend promises more drama than a slow-motion replay of a beanball. Bring your glove, your wallet for overpriced snacks, and a faint heart if you can’t handle two teams swinging for the fences.
Spring Game Swerve: Sanford’s Ankle Crisis
Texas A&M linebacker Daymion Sanford, fresh off being named a team captain, suffered a severe lower-body injury during the Maroon and White spring game. Sanford, who led the team with four tackles before exiting on an aircast, was carted off with uncertainty surrounding his season availability. The junior star recorded 57 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 2025 and was primed to anchor A&M’s defense alongside transfer Ray Coney in 2026. The Aggies now face an uphill battle replacing their leader at the MIKE linebacker spot.
Ah, college football: where captains get crowned one moment and carted off the next. Sanford’s spring-game faceplant proves nothing says “SEC readiness” like testing your ankles on grass. Now, Aggie fans must mark their calendars for “Who’s the New Mike?” auditions—starring depth-chart hopefuls practicing tackle runs in front of anxious coaches. It’s like a reality show without the prize money, except the prize is avoiding a total season derailment.
Depth Chart Dilemma: Filling Sanford’s Shoes at LB
In the wake of Daymion Sanford’s spring injury, Texas A&M’s linebacker depth figures to rest on Ray Coney, Noah Mikhail, Jordan Lockhart, and a handful of inexperienced underclassmen. With Sanford projected as the MIKE linebacker, coach Mike Elko must explore scenarios: pairing Coney and Lockhart, shifting Mikhail to MIKE, or banking on freshman talents like Kelvion Riggins and Storm Miller. Unless a portal pickup emerges, the trio of Coney, Mikhail, and Lockhart will shoulder the bulk of defensive snaps in 2026.
Nothing spices up an offseason like a linebacker depth scramble. It’s like musical chairs—except when the music stops, someone might be tackling air. Elko’s options include auditioning a roster’s worth of practice-squad hopefuls or praying the portal fairy drops in a savior. Meanwhile, underclassmen sharpen their helmets, dreaming of going from caffeine-fueled walk-ons to SEC stop-gap legends overnight. Popcorn-worthy chaos guaranteed.
