1. Aaron Hansford, LB

My last guy on the breakout list is a super senior linebacker- Aaron Hansford. He has had some ups and downs in Aggieland, losing 2016 and 2018 to injury and moving from wideout to linebacker, but he has overall made some contributions to this team over the years that cannot be overlooked.

All of that considered, I think it is time for Hansford to really step out and have his breakout season as he prepares for the NFL Draft.

Hansford started nine games last season at linebacker for the Aggies, finishing second on the team in tackles with 49.

Some would call that a breakout season, but with no one really giving him the time of day when talking about linebackers in the SEC, I think that it is time for him to really show the SEC what this linebacker can do.
