Five unsung heroes for Texas A&M football's 2024 season: Amari Daniels

Daniels began to get some recognition down the stretch of the year, but he deserves a little more kudos. Despite sustaining an injury that would require surgery before the Texas game, Daniels still stepped up to play in that contest.

He's run hard all year for the Ags— more than just this year, to be fair— and though he doesn't have the physical gifts of Moss, he's a key piece to the run game for the Aggies.

He was heavily scrutinized for his drop against Auburn that would have kept the game alive in overtime, but he was a big reason A&M was even in the game in the first place after their horrendous start. He figures to be a key player for A&M again next year.
