Sam McCall is the other defensive back transfer from the SEC that should have an immediate impact on the Aggies this season and he could slide right into a starting role.

Actually, I’d be shocked if he wasn’t starting for that Texas A&M defense next season as he was once a top-50 recruit and just never really got an opportunity with Florida State. He finished with just five tackles and a pass breakup in eight games in 2022.

Expect his numbers to skyrocket this season as he becomes a fixture of that Texas A&M secondary after a short career in Tallahassee.

Jimbo Fisher sticks it to his former program once again.

Will McCall be an All-SEC performer in 2023? I’m not going that far, but I do think he’s capable of big things in that secondary.
