Bellow It would be really helpful to get some feed back positive or negative, just so that I can improve and become a better sports writer
I just want to say thank you for all of the feedback, I really appreciate it and I want y'all to know that I'm 16. This is what I want to be when I grow up so this is how I can get my foot in the door and, for those who think I use AI, stop that I'm not. I just don't have the best grammar so I'm trying to improve on that. Thank you for reading this so without further ado let's get into this.
Players That Left An Impact On Texas A&M
Prt 2

Myles Garrett
So we have already discussed Mike Evans and how much of an impact he had on A&M but let's talk about somebody who got drafted first overall.
Known for his incredible athleticism, strength, and work ethic, Garrett not only became a dominant force on the field but also left a lasting legacy that changed the course of Texas A&M's football program. His time at A&M was marked by personal achievements and team success, but his influence went beyond just his performance. Garrett helped elevate the Aggies' defense, bringing national attention to the program.
As a Young boy Garrett didn't start out liking football. In an E60 film Garrett's mom said that, "He dragged off that field and said 'dad I don't want to do this anymore.' " Eventually, he would turn back to football. Even though his high school career started slow, he showed potential in his sophomore season recording 18 tackles and 4 sacks. The next year, however, would be a different story. He upped the notch with 66 tackles and 9 sacks but, his senior year would be the season that people started to realize that Myles was going to be a monster in the next level.
In his final season in high school, Myles Garrett had 88 tackles and 20.5 sacks and because of this monstrous season Myles was the #4 Recrute coming out of highschool and #1 in the state of Texas. Some of the awards that he won were the Texas Class 5A Defensive Player of the Year, Landry Award, given to the top high school player in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, MaxPreps All-American, Under Armour All-American and First-team all-state. He had offers from Alabama, Baylor, Miami, Michigan, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Oregon and yes, even Texas just to name a few. But Garrett ultimately chose Texas A&M because, "It was my big sister, Brea. One of my greatest mentors. She wanted me to choose Texas A&M." She would go on to advise him, "Myles, I'm telling you, the community is amazing," That was what Myles Garrtett was exactly going to do.
As a Freshman, Myles exploded onto the scene with 53 total tackles, 14 TFLs and 11.5 sacks awarding him with one of the most impressive freshman seasons in school history. During this season Garrett broke Jadeveon Clowney's SEC freshman sack record with his 11 sack performance. At the end of the season Garrett's effort was rewarded with the All American Freshman 1st team and All SEC second team. Garrett carried his momentum from his freshman season immediately into his Sophomore campaign. Throughout his Sophomore season Garrett continued to develop his craft and recorded 59 total tackles, 19.5 TFL, 5 forced fumbles, and 12.5 sacks. Continuing to show the nation that he was a force to be reckoned with. Some of the accolades that he got this season were the 2015 Rotary Lombardi Award finalist, the Ted Hendricks Award finalist, the Bednarik Award Semifinalist, and the SEC leader in Sacks, TFL and Forced Fumbles. His final season with the Aggies was underwhelming with only 33 tackles, 15 TFLs and 8.5 sacks but the nation still knew that even with a down season, Garrett could be one of the best players to come out of Texas A&M.
His impact on A&M wasn't just on the field, it was off it as well. During his time in Aggieland, he would volunteer at the Twin City Mission to help "serve meals to families in need and doing landscaping." He also was a kind man and was very humble at his time at Texas A&M staying off of social media to keep away from those distractions. Now during this time the Aggies were mediocre with their best season in 2015 being only 8 and 5, so Garrett was the only player to really keep the Aggies relevant in this mediocre time.
Garrett left an impactful mark on Aggieland. Though the Aggies may have had their ups and downs during his time, one thing remained certain: Myles Garrett was a generational talent who kept Texas A&M football on the national stage, proving that greatness isn't just about where you play, it's about the impact you leave behind.
