WATCH: Texas A&M 4-star LB commit Daymion Sanford takes pick-six 78 yards
Katy (Texas) Paetow four-star linebacker Daymion Sanford was hard to stop in a 56-0 win over Saginaw (Texas) on Thursday night. He returned an interception for a touchdown and recorded a sack and multiple tackles-for-loss.
On the pick-six, Sanford jumped the route and raced in the other direction. He then sprinted untouched for 78 yards into the end zone.
Sanford is the No. 357 overall prospect and No. 31 linebacker in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 63 player in Texas.
On3 rates Sanford higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Per the 2023 On300, he is the No. 254 overall prospect, No. 24 linebacker and No. 47 player in Texas.
The 6-foot-2, 205 pound prospect committed to Texas A&M on June 27. He recently affirmed his commitment to the Aggies.
“A&M has been my dream school since I was a kid, so I’m not going anywhere,” Sanford told On3’s Sam Spiegelman. “I’m done with recruiting.”
Sanford has an On3 NIL Valuation of $37K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
Daymion Sanford On3 Scouting Summary
The following is the On3 Scouting Summary for Daymion Sanford:
“Daymion Sanford was one of the camp-season standouts after clocking a 4.55-second 40 time in Tuscaloosa and then among the top performers from LSU’s elite camp in June. If not for the presence of a five-star difference-maker like Davud Hicks on the Paetow defense, Sanford could’ve went off in the opener against Conroe. He was in the backfield early and often, opening the game with a sack, finishing unofficially with two, and putting countless pops on the quarterback or defending the line of scrimmage. That sideline-to-sideline speed is wildly evident flying off the edge or countering outside runs.”
