Despite suffering an injury during the 2026 Maroon & White Game<\/a>, Sanford is still making the trip to Tampa, where he will undoubtedly be asked about his status for A&M\u2019s Sept. 5 opener and beyond. While other outlets rushed to report that Sanford\u2019s timeline could jeopardize the linebacker\u2019s senior campaign, the fact that he\u2019s traveling may be another sign that he\u2019ll be available sooner rather than later. Of course, that\u2019s great news considering the team captain is A&M’s third-leading returning tackler, finishing with 57 total stops as a junior in 2025. Sanford also registered 9.5 TFLs and 3.5 sacks to go along with an interception.<\/p>\nWith team representatives officially official, all that remains to be announced for the 2026 edition of SEC Kickoff is specific timeslots for each of the league\u2019s 16 member institutions.<\/p>\n
It is already known that Texas A&M will take center stage on Wednesday, July 22.<\/p>\n
