The Texas A&M Aggies cruised to a week one win, shutting out the Missouri State Bears to set the tone for the new look roster in the 2026 season.

Now, the test grows tougher for head coach Mike Elko as the Aggies will welcome in the Arizona State Sun Devils to College Station for the first big test of the season.

Here is how to watch the Aggies as they square off against the Sun Devils from the Big 12.

Injury Report

The Aggies will not report an injury report unless they are facing a conference opponent. With no injuries from the previous game, everyone who played is expected to be available.

All eyes will be on Daymion Sanford, who suited up for week one but did not get in as he works back from a spring injury.

What to Know About the Sun Devils

The Sun Devils, much like the Aggies, are coming off a dominant week one performance where they thrashed Morgan State, 70-7. The offense had plenty of question marks entering the year, especially after losing Sam Leavitt to the transfer portal and Jordyn Tyson to the NFL.

Dillingham brought in Kentucky transfer Cutter Boley to lead the offense, while Marquis Gillis will lead the backfield, replacing Raleek Brown, who transferred to the Texas Longhorns. The offense was humming in week one, but the opposition was weak, not providing a true test.

Boley had an interception problem with the Wildcats, and the Aggies should look to take advantage of that in the matchup.
