Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M
The Aggies (No. 14) are hosting the Mississippi State Bulldogs (No. 21) on Saturday night at Kyle Field, and the biggest test for Texas A&M will be corralling quarterback Dak Prescott, who has been razor sharp this season, throwing seven touchdowns and no interceptions.
The best way to cause quarterbacks to make mistakes is by applying pressure, and that’s what Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett does best.
With 6.5 sacks already this year, Garrett has proven himself as one of the nation’s best pass-rushers. His sack/strip on Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen late in the fourth quarter saved the Aggies and led to an overtime win, 28-21.
Garrett isn’t yet a complete player, but his tremendous athleticism is always on display. Watch out when it’s third-and-long and Prescott has to throw the ball this Saturday.
