Commitment predictions: Krempin, Tucker, McCoy
Nick Lucero/ Rivals national recruiting analyst Sam Spiegelman makes commitment predictions that should please a trio of SEC schools. BIG RECRUITING WEEKEND AHEAD: Top storylines | Five biggest Southeast visits in June | Biggest Midwest visits | Biggest Florida visits | Biggest West Coast visits CLASS OF 2026 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State CLASS OF 2027 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State TRANSFER PORTAL: Full coverage | Player ranking | Team ranking | Transfer search | Transfer Tracker RIVALS CAMP SERIES: Rivals Five-Star heading back to Indy | Rivals Five-Star roster | Schedule/info 1. Zaden Krempin to LSU The Tigers made a splash with four-star OT Zaden Krempin during the first official visit weekend of the summer and closed the gap significantly with the Longhorns at the top of this recruitment. Advertisement I've moved my FutureCast over to LSU for the Rivals250 OL from Prosper (Texas) after the Tigers' surge with Krempin over the weekend. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH LSU FANS AT 2. Emanuel Tucker to Ole Miss Hours after officially visiting Ole Miss, four-star in-state OT Emanuel Tucker reopened his recruitment. Tucker heads to LSU this weekend and is still in line to see Mississippi State on June 20, but this will boil down to the Rebels and Tigers for the Rivals250 OL. My prediction is sitting on Ole Miss, which moved the needle in a big way with the touted OL and his family in Oxford last weekend. Advertisement SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH OLE MISS FANS AT 3. JaReylan McCoy to Florida It's a two-team race at the top for Rivals250 DE JaReylan McCoy, who returned to the Swamp for an official visit last weekend and told Rivals he wished it could have lasted even longer. Florida is battling Texas head to head in this one, and we logged a prediction for Billy Napier and the Gators with the touted DL target. McCoy will reveal his decision on July 1. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH FLORIDA FANS AT 1ST AND TEN FLORIDA

West spotlight: Biggest June visits
USA Today Sports June has become arguably the most important month in the recruiting calendar, with prospects crisscrossing the country on official visits and lining up announcement dates. Rivals national recruiting director Adam Gorney looks at five West prospects who are taking key visits this month. Advertisement BIG RECRUITING WEEKEND AHEAD: Top storylines | Five biggest Southeast visits in June | Biggest Midwest visits | Biggest Florida visits BRANDON ARRINGTON, Oregon (this weekend) There is a very real possibility that Oregon could land all three five-stars in California and this weekend could go a very long way in figuring that out. Arrington really liked his Washington visit last weekend. He could love his Oregon trip as the Ducks and Texas A&M are recruiting him the hardest. USC seems to be fading in his recruitment as Oregon, Texas A&M, Penn State and Washington are the frontrunners and making the biggest impact. Advertisement With his position versatility, his track background and so much more, Oregon looks like a top contender in Arrington's recruitment and this weekend could push the Ducks even higher on his list. RYDER LYONS, Oregon (June 13) How is this not shaping up great for Oregon? The five-star quarterback from Folsom, Calif., has Oregon and BYU visits coming up and then some fringe programs also involved with Michigan, Ohio State and Ole Miss in the mix. It seems like USC is a long shot in his recruitment which further solidifies the Ducks at the top. Oregon lost four-star QB Jonas Williams to USC and five-star quarterback Jared Curtis picked Georgia over the Ducks. Coach Dan Lanning and his staff have now prioritized Lyons, who could be similar to Bo Nix in that offense with more athleticism outside the pocket, and BYU just feels like a stretch at this point. VANCE SPAFFORD, Miami (June 20) Spafford remains committed to Georgia but he's going through his visit schedule this month starting at Washington, at UCLA this weekend, then he'll be at Georgia and will close out June at Miami before the Rivals Five-Star and then back to South Florida for the OT7 nationals. It's a busy time for the Mission Viejo, Calif. Standout. Advertisement A commitment to the Bulldogs since early November, the biggest threat to flip Spafford is Miami as he loves Coral Gables, the coaches there and the opportunity at wide receiver. That he's taking his final visit there is also telling but Georgia will have its chance soon as well. JETT WASHINGTON, Oregon (this weekend) Washington canceled his Ohio State official visit to move up his Oregon visit - another sign that the Ducks are a major frontrunner in his recruitment. The Ducks are very high on the list with Alabama (where he already visited) and Washington took a mid-week trip to USC as well. This will be the last official visit - for now - for the four-star safety from Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman and that's a great sign for Oregon. He moved up his trip, it's his final planned trip for now and the Ducks have been in a strong position throughout his recruitment. The Ducks are sitting pretty - if things go really well this weekend. RICHARD WESLEY, Oregon (this weekend) On May 10 during a visit to Oregon, the five-star defensive end jumped in a pool with coach Dan Lanning to announce his commitment to the Ducks. Before he could dry off, the Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon standout had backed off that pledge 17 days later since he didn't clear the pledge with those close to him. Wesley is back at Oregon this weekend as the coaching staff looks to continue to mend fences and work on getting Wesley back in the fold as the Ducks have always been one of his favorites. The five-star standout is also considering Ohio State, Texas A&M, Texas and others but Oregon can put itself back in a great spot with a solid visit this weekend.

USC football countdown to kickoff continues—Shaun Cody in in focus
USC football countdown to kickoff continues—Shaun Cody in in focus The countdown to USC's 2025 football season is officially on! The Trojans kick off their new campaign 84 days from today. You need something to help you while away the days and hours in the spring and summer. This is one way to do so. In this new series, countdown to kickoff, we will be counting down the days by highlighting a notable Trojan who wore each number. Today, we take a look at legendary USC defensive lineman Shaun Cody. Position: Defensive line Years played at USC: 2001-2004 Career highlights: Cody was one of the first massive recruits of the Pete Carroll era at USC. Famously, Cody and his father were set on him going to Notre Dame, but Carroll and defensive line coach Ed Orgeron were able to change their mind and convince Cody to come to USC. The move paid off for both sides, as Cody became a standout on Carroll's early USC teams. Cody won two national championships with the Trojans, serving as a captain of USC's 2004 title team as a senior. That year, he was named a first-team All-American after recording 44 tackles and nine sacks. After USC: Cody was selected in the second round of the 2005 NFL draft by the Detroit Lions. He would go on to play eight seasons in the league, four with Detroit and four with the Houston Texas. He recorded double-digit tackles in all eight of his NFL seasons, including a career-high 38 with Houston in 2010. Cody currently serves as an analyst on the radio broadcast of USC football games. He is also a co-host of USC's official "Trojans Live" show, which airs weekly during football season (with some episodes during the spring as well).
