DE: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M)

Myles Garrett is currently 11th nationally in tackles for loss, averaging more than one and a half per game. He seems to play at his biggest when the stakes are highest. Against Tennessee he had a sack, a forced fumble, and a tackle for loss. Against Alabama he finished with seven total tackles of which more than half were for a loss. He did not play against South Carolina, but otherwise has been a major part in A&M’s big season to date.

The Aggies still have games against New Mexico State and UTSA on the schedule in between the last three SEC showdowns. Both Group of Five opponents are ranked outside the top 100 in terms of sacks allowed, meaning that Garrett should have no problem reaching double digits in that column for the third straight season. If the Aggies manage to run the rest of their table, a big reason will be because Garrett was able to disrupt opposing offenses.
