"T.J. Searcy and Marco Jones listed as the starters at defensive end."
↗ Texas A&M vs. Missouri State score predictions, analysis from Aggie Yell staff
"Guys like left guard Blake Ivy, wide receivers Terry Bussey, Aaron Gregory and Jayden Warren, running backs Jamarion Morrow and KJ Edwards, defensive tackle DJ Hicks, defensive ends Marco Jones and Bryce Perry-Wright, linebacker Noah Mikhail, nickel Jordan Shaw, cornerback Julio Humphrey and safety Chance Collins come to mind as players who might not have been as well known but made jumps this offseason."

"I'll take Jones as the sack leader, though I don't think he'll reach the 11.5 set by Cashius Howell last season; I believe it'll be more of a "by committee" type of production for the unit."
↗ Texas A&M football statistical leader projections for 2026: Aggie Yell season predictions Part II
"Anto Saka and Marco Jones are also my two clear favorites to lead the team in sacks, but Saka's experience and toolset as an every-down defensive end also favor him to lead this pass rush in his final season."
