TAMPA--Daymion Sanford has seen his fair share of SEC Saturdays. To him, there's only one place he would ever consider calling home.

"I ain't going to lie. I would say nothing compares to Kyle Field, just how loud it gets, 100,000 fans there. It just sounds like they're pumping crowd noise into the speakers. So I feel like really no stadium compares to Kyle Field...The 12th Man, they always show out for home games. I always look forward to playing in Kyle Field every Saturday."

 

You can watch Daymion's entire media session below.

The Big 3

  1. Team goals and excitement. "I have a lot of personal goals, but team goals, the season we had last year, we didn't really win any meaningful games. So I feel like my goal this year is to hopefully win some meaningful games for our 12th Man, for our fans...I feel like we're hungry. We've got a lot of players that are hungry on this team. You could see it in the offseason, just sitting back and watching. We've got a lot to prove. We've got a lot of guys hungry. Like I said earlier, we haven't won any meaningful games. So I feel like that's our main motivation this year is to go win some.
  2. The Aggie Football culture. "G.R.I.N.D. We have that on every wall, in the hallways, have it in the stadium and have that on the field. It's grit, relentless effort, integrity, now, dependability. That's all we preach every day."
  3. Relationship with Mike Elko. "The funny thing, I'm gonna take y'all back to the recruiting process. I was committed to him at Duke for a little bit during my recruiting process. And then going to some camps, I got a lot of buzz and then got the A&M offer. So I ended up going to A&M, flipping my commitment to A&M. And he still gives me stuff about it. But he's known me for a minute now, and he's seen my growth and seen my progression. Our relationship is pretty good. I love Coach Elko. He's a great dude, great leader. He's the best leader I've ever met."
