Cam Skattebo headlines list of top 30 visitors for Titans
The Tennessee Titans are busy this week at their facility in Nashville. According to multiple posts by Paul Kuharsky, Tennessee will be hosting six players on Top 30 visits, including multiple running backs, defensive backs, and a wide receiver.
Cornerbacks Quincy Riley and Zah Frazier, running backs Cam Skattebo and Jordan James, safety Andrew Mukuba, and wide receiver Jakobie Keeney-James are all scheduled to visit Nashville.
We covered Louisville cornerback Quincy Riley earlier in the Titans Wire pre-draft coverage, and will break down the others below.
UTSA CB Zah Frazier
Frazier is one of the more interesting cornerback prospects in this class. His measurables are off the charts, coming in at 6-foot-3, 186 pounds. He brings an elite mixture of athleticism, size, and speed to the table with the upside to develop into a long-term starter in the league.
Unfortunately, with a lack of tape against high-level competition, much of his stock is a projection. A developmental player may need consistent coaching and technique refinement to reach his ceiling. An older prospect, Frazier is best suited for a zone scheme as he continues his development. He has starter traits and potential, but may need some seasoning before reaching his peak.
Arizona State RB Cam Skattebo
Skattebo may not boast the athletic traits of many of the running backs in this class, but consistent on-field production outweighs his athletic testing deficiencies. A bowling ball of a back, he defies traditional metrics with balance, instincts, and power.
Starting his career at Sacramento State, he worked his way to Heisman finalist and Big 12 Championship MVP at Arizona State, sometimes carrying their offense on his shoulders. His athleticism will not overwhelm teams and could cause him to fall, but as a multifaceted performer with underrated receiving skills, he could outperform his eventual draft slot.
Skattebo projects to be the type of change-of-pace running back that head coach Brian Callahan has talked about. He's a mid-round prospect who has a chance to develop into more than a complementary piece in an offense.
Oregon RB Jordan James
James profiles as another change-up type back for the Titans. He is a physical inside runner with developmental upside and starter potential. He is a decisive runner who offers exceptional vision and burst for an offense and should be able to contribute early in his career.
He lacks experience as a receiver and will need to improve his skills before assuming a more significant role in the offense, but the athletic traits are there for it to happen. He enters the league as a complementary back who can fill a niche in short-yardage and goal-line packages and has a high ceiling if developed.
Texas S Andrew Mukuba
Mukuba is one of the top safety prospects and has the skill set to be a dynamic back-end chess piece early in his career. His combination of experience and production against top competition should prepare him to step in and succeed. He's not the biggest safety in the class, but he brings elite athleticism to the table, giving him exceptional range and scheme versatility.
He lacks the bulk of many safeties, and that could impact him early in his career against the run, but his ability as a pass defender should get him on the field early in sub-package football. Mukuba is a Day 2 prospect who will see the field early as a rookie and has the potential to develop into one of the more dynamic safeties in the league.
UMass WR Jakobie Keeney-James
Keeney-James is a small-school prospect who opened some eyes after a pro day, during which he flashed 4.36 speed and solid athleticism. After four years of obscurity at Eastern Washington, he appeared to have put it all together at UMass and was a leader on the offense, putting up 50 receptions for 836 yards and six touchdowns in 2024.
A true developmental prospect as a receiver, he does bring special-teams experience to the table. Viewed as a late-round selection or a priority undrafted rookie free agent, he appears to be an ascending prospect heading into the NFL.

Their other two preseason games were part of a 10-day road trip the team took together, and now they're back at home and ready to build on a victory. Practice was pretty standard until the end when Cam Ward and Jeffery Simmons got a bit physical with each other. Simmons was escorted to the locker room. He was heated from a previous play, and J.C.

No. 11 Arizona State aiming to maintain momentum following rise to CFP a year ago

TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona State had one of college football's biggest turnarounds last season, reaching the College Football Playoff after being picked to finish last in its first season in the Big 12. The Sun Devils' goal this season is prove they're no one-hit wonders, to build upon one of the best seasons in program history instead of taking a step back. 'We really didn't do anything special — we did something that's actually normal,' Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham said. 'What would be special would be to continue to build off of that and that was the real challenge. How do we not become what normal teams in our situation do, which is fall back to where we've always been?' The Sun Devils had a meteoric rise last season, reaching the CFP for the first time a year after winning three games in Dillingham's first season. Arizona State pulled it off behind hard-nosed, do-everything running back Cam Skattebo, steady quarterback Sam Leavitt and a run-stuffing defense. Skattebo is now playing for the NFL's New York Giants, but nearly everyone else is back, ramping up expectations and enthusiasm in the desert. Arizona State's No. 11 ranking in the preseason AP Top 25 is the program's highest since opening at No. 8 in 1998 under Bruce Snyder. 'We've got the Valley activated for sure now, so they're definitely expecting some things out of us,' Sun Devils receiver Jordyn Tyson said. Leavitt returns Leavitt had a memorable first season in Tempe after a redshirt year at Michigan State in 2023. The 6-foot-2 quarterback set a school freshman record with 3,328 yards of total offense and his 2,885 yards passing are second in program history by a freshman. Leavitt threw for 24 touchdowns with six interceptions and embraced the spotlight that came with the Sun Devils' rise, leading them to the Big 12 championship and a spot in the Peach Bowl. The sophomore is expected to take an even bigger step this season — he's been tabbed among the Heisman Trophy favorites — with a deeper knowledge of Arizona State's offense and the confidence of leading his team to the CFP. 'His confidence is not cockiness because he works and he prepares and he loves it,' Dillingham said. 'So, I love the fact that he's confident. I think it's only going to fuel him to be the best version of himself.' Replacing Skattebo Skattebo was one of the nation's best players last season, a multi-talented back who bulled through tacklers, caught passes, even threw a few while racking up more than 2,300 combined yards. Now that he's gone, the Sun Devils may spread it around this season between three talented backs. Kyson Brown Jr. showed flashes in a limited role as Skattebo's backup last season, Kanye Udoh ran for over 1,100 yards at Army last season and speedy Raleek Brown could have a breakout season after being injured most of last year. Schedule Arizona State opens the season at home against FCS team Northern Arizona on Aug. 30 before playing a tough road game at Mississippi State the following week. The Sun Devils open Big 12 play at Baylor on Sept. 20, with road games against Utah, Iowa State and Colorado before hosting rival Arizona in the regular-season finale.

Tennessee Titans sign defensive tackle T.J. Smith

On Sunday, the Tennessee Titans released defensive tackle Philip Blidi. Blidi joined the Titans as an undrafted free agent earlier this year, and he did not play a single snap of the Titans' preseason victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Blidi's departure left an open roster spot with the Titans, one they filled today by signing defensive tackle T.J. Smith. Smith entered the NFL when he signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2020, where he spent the entire season on the practice squad. He was released ahead of the 2021 season and signed by the Minnesota Vikings. He appeared in five games for the Vikings from 2021-2023, recording 11 tackles and 2.5 stuffs. In 2024, Smith played for the Carolina Panthers. He appeared in three games for the Panthers, recording two tackles. While scouting reports indicated that Blidi might have value as a rotational player for the Titans, they must not have seen what they needed from the rookie. Smith will have to prove himself to earn a spot in the rotation, and with some actual on-field experience in the NFL, he might be able to do that. After practicing with the team this week, Smith will get a chance to show what he can do on the field when the Titans host his former team, the Vikings, on Friday.
