Sophomore DJ Hicks has the opportunity to be a key contributor to the Aggie defense
With a change of the guard in Aggieland, Texas A&M has a wealth of players that will get a fresh look under the new coaching staff. Many questions must be answered leading up to the season opener against Notre Dame on August 31.
DJ Hicks is not a name unknown to Aggie fans, as he came into College Station as one of their top-rated recruits in the 2023 class. The five-star defensive lineman was ranked as one of the top linemen in the country, but due to how deep the Texas A&M D-line was last season, he only played sparingly during his freshman campaign.
SEC Unfiltered has been doing an underrated series for the conference and they did a film session on Hick to show his ability with the chance to have a huge sophomore season.

Texas dominated Alabama and won 12 games in 2023. One writer is certain that the Longhorns will fall off in 2024.
It was a warm night in Tuscaloosa in mid-September. Fans of SEC programs across the country were eager to watch Nick Saban’s Alabama squad humble Texas and prove the Longhorns an inferior Big 12 squad.
One dose of humbling was prepared for the game that night, but it wasn’t for Texas. The Longhorns bullied the Tide running away with the game with a dominant 21-point fourth quarter.
We knew Texas would have its hands full in its new conference, but this game was a warning shot at what the SEC would be up against.
The win was so decisive Alabama head coach Nick Saban began reflecting on what a great program his team had built. It was the kind of postgame press conference that had us thinking Saban would retire. And then he did.
Fans of the SEC are still dealing with Texas’ convincing defeat of Alabama in their own way. Most comically, media members who cover the conference are predicting a significant fall off for the ‘Horns.
Predictions of drop off are rolling in despite Texas having the third easiest SEC schedule. The Longhorns do, however, face a Michigan team that replaces 16 starters including eight of its nine starting linemen departing across both lines of scrimmage.
SEC Unfiltered contributor Lucas Hill writes that Texas is in for a “rude awakening.” Let’s break down a few of his claims.
