Senior linebacker Daymion Sanford had to be carted off the field on Saturday during Texas A&M’s spring game with a left-leg injury.
The injury reportedly occurred while Sanford, a team captain, was making a tackle on a run play late in the first half of the exhibition. Play was stopped, a cart came out and the Aggies’ medical staff put a cast around the lower part of his left leg before driving him off the field, according to On3’s Texas A&M site, AggieYell.
Travis L. Brown of KBTX Sports captured the aftermath of the injury on video:
Sanford was the fourth-leading tackler on a Texas A&M squad that made the program’s first-ever College Football Playoff appearance last season. Along the way, he took a sizable step as a junior.
He went from starting just three games the season prior to becoming a defensive fixture for a unit that ranked 36th nationally with 21 points per game allowed during the 2025 campaign. That group stepped up in the first round of the CFP, holding eventual national runner-up Miami to a mere 10 points on a windy day in College Station.
Sanford recovered a fourth-quarter fumble and matched a team high with seven total tackles in that game. He finished the season with 57 total tackles, 9.5 TFLs, 3.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles and 1 interception.
