The Texas A&M Aggies will be down a member of the secondary in the first half against Notre Dame.
pointed out Monday, A&M defensive back Jaydon Hill will sit on the sidelines for the first 30 minutes of game action due to a targeting penalty that he picked up against Florida State last season while with the Florida Gators.
The punishment has followed him from Gainsville to College Station and from 2023 to 2024. Hill picked up the targeting penalty after delivering a hard hit to the upper body of former Seminoles quarterback Tate Rodemaker, who transferred to Southern Miss earlier this offseason. Florida State Seminoles quarterback Tate Rodemaker is tackled by Florida Gators cornerback Jaydon Hill and Florida Gators safety Bryce Thornton at Steve Spurrier Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, FL on Saturday, November 25, 2023 during the second half. Florida Gators cornerback Jaydon Hill was ejected from the game for the hit. Florida State won 24-15.
The hit knocked Rodemaker out of the game late in the fourth quarter and forced third-string freshman Brock Glenn into action. Hill was ejected from the game, which ended his season since Florida went 5-7 and missed out on bowl eligibility.Hill is listed as the co-starter at nickel cornerback with Tyreek Chappell. Hill could eventually step into the role as a full-time starter as the season progresses, but will have to watch Chappell in the first half on Saturday.
In four seasons at Florida, Hill posted 88 total tackles , 2.5 sacks, two fumble recoveries, two interceptions, 15 pass breakups and one touchdown. Both of his career interceptions -- one of which was a 49-yard pick-six -- came in a 24-17 win over Missouri during the 2022 season.
