10/10/21 - Seth Small, Sr/2022, Texas AM, 5-09, 208 (DS#20 K) + More +

During a speaking engagement this spring Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher used colorful language to proclaim his team would beat Alabama during coach Nick Saban's career. He fulfilled that promise in his first try since that vow Saturday night, handing the defending national champions their first loss since 2019 in a thrilling upset. Seth Small made a 28-yard field goal as time expired and Texas A&M stunned top-ranked Alabama 41-38 to end the Crimson Tide's winning streak at 19 games.

Alabama had scored 21 straight points - capped by a TD reception and 2-point conversion grab by Jameson Williams - to take a 38-31 lead with five minutes to go. Texas A&M tied it at 38 when Zach Calzada connected with Ainias Smith for a 25-yard touchdown with three minutes left. Calzada was hit as he threw the strike and had to be helped off the field but returned for the next drive after a visit to the medical tent. Calzada returned after the Aggies forced a punt to orchestrate the winning drive, highlighted by a 17-yard pass to Isaiah Spiller before Small finished it off to send fans streaming onto the field to celebrate. - AP College Football

Florida cornerback Jaydon Hill was charged with breaking into a car, stealing a debit card and making $1,700 in unauthorized purchases. Alachua County court records show Hill agreed last month to deferred prosecution on third-degree felony charges for unarmed burglary of an unoccupied vehicle, grand theft larceny of more than $750 and less than $5,000, and fraudulent and illegal use of credit cards. Hill will have the felonies dropped from his record if he completes 50 hours of community service, reimburses the stolen money to Mid-Florida Credit Union, pays $200 in prosecution fees and stays out of trouble for a year. Hill is sidelined this season after tearing a knee ligament during training camp. - AP College Football

09/05/21 - Leon ONeal Jr., Sr/2022, Texas AM, 6-1, 204 (DS#10 SS) + More +

After slogging through an uninspired first half, Texas A&M needed a spark to get going. The Aggies found it in Leon O'Neal Jr., whose 85-yard interception return for a touchdown helped sixth-ranked Texas A&M pull away in 41-10 win over Kent State on Saturday night. "He's an Energizer Bunny," coach Jimbo Fisher said. "You've got to have that guy. He's a big part of what we do." O'Neal had two interceptions, with the first coming just before halftime when he picked off Dustin Crum's pass in the end zone. With about eight minutes left in the third, O'Neal jumped in front of a receiver for his second pick. He weaved around a couple of Kent State players and dashed untouched for the score, capping the play by diving into the end zone to make it 20-3. "When he got that pick, it lit up the whole sideline. It lit up the whole stadium," receiver Ainias Smith said. "I was like: ‘Thanks Leon, we needed that.'" O'Neal choked up when recounting his score and thanking the teammates who blocked for him. "We always talk about Pick-6's, touchdowns, stuff like that," he said. "Now that it's come to fruition, it's a big milestone for us as a DB group." - Texas AM/AP College Football

08/22/21 - Aaron Hansford, rSr/2022, Texas AM, 6-3, 239 (DS#13 OLB) + More +

Surprisingly, Hansford is not known for being verbal, though he received his degree in communication. "Everybody thinks leadership is vocal," A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher said. "Leadership comes in many ways. It's how you affect your teammates. Is it vocal? Is it off the field? Is it on the field? Is it by example? You change behavior. You want people to play like you. You want people to play to your standards. So leadership comes in a lot of different ways." Hansford has put in the work to become a team leader. "Aaron has become more vocal, but his [leadership] is more, I think, by example and how hard he plays and the type of athlete he is," Fisher said.

The 6-foot-3, 240-pound Hansford is looking to build on a solid season he had in Johnson's shadow. Hansford had 49 tackles last season at weakside linebacker to rank second on the team to Johnson's 86. Hansford played in all 10 games, with nine starts. Hansford could have tried to make an NFL roster this season, but opted to return for a second senior season, which will be his sixth overall in Aggieland. Hansford is among nine returning starters on a defense that ranked ninth in the country last season in total defense, allowing only 317.3 yards per game. - Bryan/College Station Eagle

Texas A&M wide receiver Hezekiah Jones suffered a shoulder injury during fall camp, head coach Jimbo Fisher said. Jones was sidelined at Thursday's practice with his right arm in a sling. "He banged his shoulder," Fisher said. "Just fell on one during a pass. Just fell on his shoulder and banged it up. We're thinking in a little bit of time he'll be back. I don't know exactly, but shouldn't be [a] long, long time." Jones played in six games last season after returning from a ruptured Achilles tendon, which he suffered during fall camp of 2019. In those six games, he caught 18 passes for 178 yards, a part of 35 total receptions and 325 yards he's had in three seasons with the Aggies. - Bryan/College Station Eagle

Florida cornerback and projected starter Jaydon Hill will miss the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Jaydon Hill, a projected starter for Florida, has suffered a knee injury in fall training camp and will miss the 2021 season. The junior cornerback tore his left ACL in practice Sunday and is undergoing physical therapy to prep for surgery, his father, Freddie Ingram, told The Gainesville Sun.

UF coach Dan Mullen confirmed the injury Thursday. "It was very tough to get that call from him," Ingram said. "I guess the toughest part for me was Jaydon is not that emotional, but I just knew when he called he was upset about it. "This was his first time being a full-time starter, so he was looking for his big year and had a great team. So I'm just hurting for him. As a parent, when your child is hurt you're hurt." Ingram said Hill did not injure the same knee from high school. He tore his right ACL as a senior, eight days after committing to the Gators, but Mullen stuck with him. Mullen and his staff are offering that same support to Hill and his family this time around. - Gainesville Sun

Florida cornerback and projected starter Jaydon Hill will miss the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, an injury coach Dan Mullen called a "massive disappointment." A junior from Huntsville, Alabama, Hill started five games last season and had been slotted to play opposite Kaiir Elam, who tied for the Southeastern Conference lead with 13 pass defenses in 2020. Instead, the Gators are left to find Hill's replacement a week into training camp. "Just kind of a shame that stuff happens out there on the field," Mullen said. Hill was looking forward to becoming a full-time starter in his third season and helping Florida regain its reputation as being on the nation's top secondary units. The Gators ranked 100th out of 127 teams nationally in pass defense last season. Mullen will turn to a number of unproven candidates to fill the suddenly vacant spot. Missouri transfer Jadarrius Perkins and redshirt freshmen Avery Helm and Ethan Pouncey will be in the mix along with five-star recruit Jason Marshall from Miami. - AP College Football

08/10/21 - McKinnley Jackson, Sr/2024, Texas AM, 6-2, 326 (DS#15 DT) + More +

Texas A&M sophomore defensive lineman McKinnley Jackson was arrested Friday on drug charges, including a second-degree felony count of possession of a controlled substance, according to Brazos County jail records. He was released from the Brazos County Jail later Friday after posting $22,000 bail. In addition to the felony charge, in which Jackson was accused of having between four and 200 grams of a controlled substance, he faces a misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge. Jail records indicate the charges were from April 7; it wasn't immediately clear why Jackson wasn't charged until Friday. The marijuana charge is punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine. The second-degree felony charge of possession of a controlled substance is punishable by two to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. Jackson has been suspended form athletics activities, per department policy, according to a program spokesperson. - Bryan/College Station Eagle

When it comes to Florida junior cornerback Jaydon Hill, the lack of a traditional offseason during the 2020 season didn't result in a lack in his development. The Huntsville, Alabama, native took a massive leap during his sophomore campaign, seeing action in all 12 games last season, including five starts opposite of starting cornerback Kaiir Elam. He would finish the season with seven pass break-ups, good for second on the team - not necessarily a massive feat, but one that's impressive when put in context. By Hill's admission, he arrived in Gainesville with aspirations of being a top defensive back while possessing the understanding of a lone coverage.

That wasn't going to cut it, and he knew it. "When I got here, honestly, I couldn't even draw up a play besides Cover 3. I knew one defense, Cover 3. But my game has progressed tremendously, my mindset off the field, in meeting rooms. I couldn't even diagram an offense. Now I can draw up offensive plays, defensive plays and match them," Hill said. "But honestly, I even feel like my game has progressed - not just weight room and strength-wise with my ACL last year - but off the field, in meeting rooms, and being able to take my game from meeting room and apply on the field. To think faster and to play faster and all that." - Gainesville Sun
