## Resource

Marcus Ratcliffe is heating up as a Preseason All-American safety for Texas A&M, earning second-team honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation — a rare feat for an Aggie DB since 1999. After transferring from San Diego State, Ratcliffe’s two years at A&M have been explosive: 100+ tackles, 6.5 TFLs, and 3 interceptions, with coverage skills that have everyone buzzing for 2026. He’s the lone Aggie on the Walter Camp list, but he’s also landed second-team All-American nods from Athlon Sports and first-team honors from Dave Campbell’s Texas Football. With a stacked secondary and a hungry defense, Ratcliffe’s breakout season could be the cornerstone of A&M’s turnaround in the SEC.
