Texas A&M has beasts all over the defensive line, including freshman defensive tackle Daylon Mack who made a bone-crushing hit on a Nevada ball carrier.
The Texas A&M Aggies have a couple of future pros on the defensive line in Myles Garrett, who may be a future No. 1 overall pick and fellow defensive end Daeshon Hall, but don’t sleep on true freshman Daylon Mack who looks like a superstar, already.

Mack was a five-star recruit who was the highest-ranked recruit of Kevin Sumlin’s recruiting class and that includes No. 1 dual-threat and five-star quarterback Kyler Murray and Mack showed worthy of such praise with a play vs. Nevada on Saturday.
The 335-pound defensive tackle played some fullback in high school and had breakaway speed and he showed off his elite first-step quickness when he burst into the Nevada backfield and tackled the running back just as he was getting the handoff.
This is what every defensive tackle dreams of doing on every play. And in my humble opinion is the best way to defend against the option. Check out the play, courtesy of SouthernbeLLSU. Go follow her. I already do. Tell her I said hi.
