Former Oregon football 5-star announces commitment to SEC school
On Sunday afternoon, Wesley, the No. 14 player and No. 2 EDGE in the 2026 class, per the 247Sports Composite, announced that he is committing to the Texas Longhorns. Wesley announced his commitment to Oregon early in May by jumping into a pool with Dan Lanning, but later announced his decommitment less than a month later.
This is a tough blow for Oregon, which felt like they were still in a good position to land Wesley despite his decommitment. There was a sense that things needed to be straightened out on the back-end with an NIL deal, but the love between the player and school was still there.
Apparently, Wesley saw enough this weekend on his official visit to Texas to commit to the Longhorns, though. Wesley still has an OV scheduled to Ohio State for the beginning of the college football season, on a week when they play Texas. We will see if he still keeps that visit scheduled and if he sticks with the Longhorns longer than he did with the Ducks.

Watch: Notre Dame's new starting quarterback CJ Carr's high school highlight reel
While we haven't seen much of Notre Dame football's new starting quarterback CJ Carr at this level, we can go back and look at what he did in high school. Coming out of Saline High School in Michigan, Carr was a nationally ranked prospect as the No. 68 overall recruit in the 2024 class according to the 247Sports Composite. Sure, we saw him during the past two years of Blue and Gold games, but those are set up for success for the quarterbacks. During his final season of high school, Carr would throw for 2,754 yards with 24 touchdowns and 9 interceptions, while running for 91 yards, but accounting for 9 other scores. Over his three years starting, he threw for a total of 8,135 yards with 78 touchdowns and 18 interceptions, while accounting for 312 yards rushing and 16 scores. Those are very impressive numbers from Carr, and hopefully he can replicate that success with the Irish. Check out below his senior year highlights, for a glimpse of what is to come when Notre Dame takes the field on the road against Miami at the end of the month.

Steelers' Cam Heyward apologizes to Aaron Rodgers over past controversial comments
Aaron Rodgers has more than earned the respect and admiration of his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates, but it didn't start off that way, and Cam Heyward recently apologized for some comments he made early in the offseason. On Tuesday, Rodgers and DK Metcalf made special guest appearances on the Not Just Football with Cam Heyward podcast, and the Steelers defensive tackle wasted little time addressing the months-old controversy — specifically about whether the 20-year veteran QB really wanted to play in Pittsburgh. "I have to apologize," Heyward told Rodgers. "I guess my words were taken out of context when I said, 'Do you want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler or not?'" Rodgers admitted to being hurt but understood that Heyward didn't necessarily know who he really was at the time of the negotiating process. The veteran Steelers defender admitted his opinion has changed since. Before Rodgers signed, Steelers safety DeShon Elliott also fired a jab at the four-time MVP — claiming on social media that he should "leave his a-- at the retirement home." Both Heyward's and Elliott's comments stirred up controversy when first made, leading some Steelers fans to believe Rodgers might not sign at all. That's been the overarching theme of Rodgers' career over the past few years — many within the NFL world jumping to criticize, only to walk back their original stance on the veteran quarterback.

USA TODAY Sports looks at toughest college football schedules, including Florida's
It is no secret that Florida football faces one of the toughest schedules among FBS schools this coming fall. In fact, Gator fans are getting used to it after a brutal 2024 slate that the program miraculously persevered through. With less than two weeks before the Orange and Blue's opening kickoff, USA TODAY Sports writer Paul Myerberg took a look at the 10 schools that face the toughest path to the postseason in 2025. Of course, Billy Napier and Co. were included — largely in part due to matchups at preseason No. 9 LSU, against No. 1 Texas in Gainesville and their annual faceoff against No. 4 Georgia in Jacksonville, which he considered their toughest games. "Florida was able to grab eight wins last season against a similarly hard SEC slate, salvaging Billy Napier's rapidly diminishing job security and creating pretty massive expectations for 2025," Myerberg notes. "The Gators will have to navigate through rocky waters once again, with a schedule also featuring No. 21 Texas A&M, No. 15 Mississippi and No. 18 Tennessee in addition to No. 10 Miami and Florida State in non-conference action."
