Pressure off the edge and the ability to create it is always a top priority around the SEC, and the Aggies received some good news as former Colorado defensive end Dayon Hayes has committed to Texas A&M.

A P4 defender with several years of experience, Hayes checks in at 6-foot-3 and 265 pounds. In an injury-shortened 2024 season, he posted 16 tackles, 3.5 TFLs and two sacks in four games.

Before his time in Boulder, he spent four seasons at Pitt and posted 45 tackles, 11 TFLs, and four sacks in 2023. He was a four-star recruit coming out of Pittsburgh (PA) Westinghouse in the class of 2020, and he has recorded 96 tackles, 25 TFLs and 15 sacks in his college career.

Hayes is the Aggies’ seventh addition from the transfer portal and the second addition on the defensive side of the ball.

Stay tuned. We’ll have more soon for our TexAgs Premium subscribers.

Whooop, definitely an area of need. Hopefully we'll add a few more to the DL.

Maybe this is the best we can get out of the portal but sorry my first thought is meh...
They got him from Pittsburgh for a season and now he's on the move again...tells me he's following money. Nothing wrong with that but not a great reason for him joining the ags.
I know Pitt football well enough that 4 sacks in a whole season is nothing to get excited about. And his 2 sacks at cu were against Colorado State

This is where we are with college football like it or not.

I don't like it for the record.

Before his injury, he did fairly well at CO; thus, I'm actually optimistic that Deon may have helped develop him a little bit, & as a result, I'm not gonna crap on the kid's potential sight unseen like many seem willing to do!
