Elite FSU quarterback target commits to SEC program
He was one of their top quarterbacks in the cycle and someone they have heavily pursued since offering him a scholarship in October of 2024. He has visited multiple times this year and was one of the top localish prospects in the 2027 cycle.
He is ranked as the No. 61 overall player and No. 3 quarterback in the 247Sports composite rankings. He is also the No. 8 player from Georgia.
Johnson had a productive sophomore season for Lowndes High School, leading them to a 10-2 record. Johnson completed 67.2% (123-183) of his passes for 1,799 yards, 16 touchdowns, and three interceptions, per MaxPreps. He also rushed for 318 yards and three touchdowns on 79 carries, averaging 4.0 yards per carry.
The good news for FSU is that they have plenty of time to add a quarterback to their 2027 recruiting class. Their pursuit of Johnson might not be over either, they have shown the ability to flip blue-chip quarterbacks, doing so in the last two cycles.

How Badgers Kendric Pryor, Maema Njongmeta fared in Bengals' NFL preseason opener
It was an up-and-down evening for former Wisconsin Badgers Kendric Pryor and Maema Njongmeta, as their Cincinnati Bengals opened their 2025 NFL preseason schedule against the Philadelphia Eagles. Njongmeta fared well during the Bengals' narrow 34-27 defeat, delivering five tackles (one solo) and a pass breakup that led to an interception. Down 17 points with just over 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Eagles quarterback Kyle McCord airmailed his intended target over the middle. The ball then bounced off Njongmeta's facemask, into the waiting arms of linebacker Joe Giles-Harris. While not a typical highlight interception, it was another productive moment for the former undrafted free agent. Njongmeta may be battling for a 53-man roster spot entering the 2025 season. He's listed as a backup inside linebacker behind free-agent signee Oren Burks. Thursday's strong preseason debut should help to solidify that position as the team's primary reserve at the position. Meanwhile, on the other side of the football, Pryor had a quiet night. He was targeted just once and did not register a catch. Pryor faces more of an uphill battle to make the Bengals' roster than his former Wisconsin teammate. The wideout has spent much of his three-year NFL career on practice squads, both with the Bengals and the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has just two regular-season appearances: Week 9 and Week 18 of the 2024 season. He totaled one catch for nine receiving yards in that limited action. Pryor and Njongmeta's respective statuses will be worth watching as the preseason schedule continues. Njongmeta was one of the major stories of the 2024 preseason, as he made the 53-man roster after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent. The Bengals are back in action on Monday, Aug. 18, against the Washington Commanders.

Notre Dame offers 4-star California WR Quentin Hale, who is one of the best nationally
One of the big reasons why Notre Dame has been able to shift its recruiting focus to the 2027 class, is due to the 2026 group being almost complete. They are waiting on just one more prospect, defensive lineman Elijah Golden, who will make his announcement on Saturday and has been trending towards the Irish. There have been plenty of offers out to 2027 prospects, and on Thursday a new one was made to California wide receiver Quentin Hale. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 175-pounder is one of the best players in the country, ranking as the No. 59 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite. August has been a great month for his so far, as he also picked up offers from Alabama and Georgia, while already having others from like Miami, Ohio State, Oregon and Oklahoma. Hale had a huge sophomore season, with 63 receptions for 995-yards and 14 touchdowns. The Irish have done a much better job acquiring high school talent at the position, and could be adding yet another talented pass catcher to their roster.
