2026 4-star safety out of Mississippi predicted to land with Texas A&M
2026 4-star safety out of Mississippi predicted to land with Texas A&M
After hosting 15 elite prospects from the 2026 recruiting class last weekend, Texas A&M coach Mike Elko and his productive coaching staff have received several predictions to land five-star defensive lineman Lamar Brown, four-star offensive tackle Avery Morcho, and, as of Tuesday morning, Rivals Aggies insiders Mark Passwaters and Landyn Rosow have predicted the Aggies to land four-star safety Tylan Wilson out of Mississippi.
Wilson has been a Clemson target for quite some time. Still, after his official visit this weekend, Elko and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman, along with defensive back coaches Ishmael Aristide and Jordan Peterson, have put in the work over the last month. With all the defensive back talent headed to College Station in the future, Wilson can see himself as a long-term piece in the Aggie backfield.
In today's college football landscape, solid safety play is in high demand. Still, Texas A&M's 2026 safety rotation is only guaranteed to lose one starter in senior free safety Bryce Anderson, while sophomore Myles Davis and freshman Rashad Johnson represent the future starting rotation, which could now include Tylan Wilson.
On the field, Wilson is highly versatile and could play cornerback at the next level, but he should thrive as a box safety against the run due to his on-ball instincts and ability to make plays in the middle of the field.
Standing at 6-2 and 185 pounds, Wilson is currently positioned as Rivals' 13th-ranked safety, and the 10th-ranked prospect in Mississippi.

Latest ESPN NBA Mock Draft has Jase Richardson landing just outside lottery
Latest ESPN NBA Mock Draft has Jase Richardson landing just outside lottery The NBA Draft is just over a week away so where will Michigan State star Jase Richardson land? ESPN's latest mock draft suggests it'll be just outside of the lottery. ESPN released an updated NBA Mock Draft on Tuesday, which pegged Richardson to be selected just outside of the lottery. This latest mock draft from ESPN has Richardson going No. 16 overall to the Memphis Grizzlies -- who just acquired this pick from the Orlando Magic in a trade. Jonathan Givony had this to say about Richardson and the Grizzlies pairing: "The Grizzlies are exactly the type of team that could be interested in an ultra-efficient, productive young prospect such as Richardson, who rates highly in draft models that analytics-savvy teams like Memphis often pay attention to. "Richardson possesses an excellent feel for the game, hit 41% of his 3-pointers this season, brings strong defensive intensity and looks adept at playing off the star power of a teammate like Ja Morant, whose future in Memphis is to be determined. As Richardson's shot-creation diversity and offensive aggressiveness evolve, he could be someone who eventually inherits more significant ballhandling responsibilities, if the Grizzlies decide to pivot toward a youth movement." Richardson has widely been considered a fringe-lottery pick after starring for the Spartans in his lone season in college. He averaged 12.1 points per game and shot above 40% from three-point range, which quickly turned him into an NBA first round projection. The NBA Draft will be held on June 25 and 26, with the first round taking place on Wednesday and second round on Thursday. The draft will be televised on ABC and ESPN.

Russell Wilson praises Giants' ‘amazing' camaraderie
Preparing for his first season with the New York Giants and his 14th in the NFL, starting quarterback Russell Wilson is enthused about the team's daily improvement in all facets of the game at this week's minicamp. Wilson, who signed a one-year, $10.5 million contract in April with the potential to earn an additional $10 million in incentives, listed inside linebacker Bobby Okereke, defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence and outside linebacker Brian Burns, along with center John Michael Schmitz, guard Greg Van Roten and wide receivers Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson, among the group of players who have stood out. "I just think that we're just on this constant growth of trajectory and we've got to stay there," Wilson said. "I think that we've grown so much every day. The team, the team, the team, the team. I think we just have gotten better and better every day. "Offense, defense, special teams. I think our camaraderie has been amazing. It's always cool ... and it's fun to be able to see guys who are young, staying extra, doing the extra necessary things." Wilson, who went 6-5 as a starter in 2024 during his lone season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, also lauded the Giants' coaching staff and the joy he has felt since joining the organization. "I think if I had to describe it, just the joy to be able to do what I love to do, number one -- and number two, to do it with the people that you really want to be around," the 10-time Pro Bowl selection said. "I think the coaching staff is tremendous. I think their ability to teach every day -- I think what makes a great coach is the ability to teach, to be able to teach young guys, to be able to teach veterans to be able to constantly learn. I think being on that constant quest for knowledge is such a necessary thing and that's the part that I love the most." As for the offense, Wilson praised head coach Brian Daboll and offensive coordinator Mike Kafka for the work they've put in this spring after New York's offense ranked 30th in total yards (294.8) and 31st in points (16.1 ppg) last season. Wilson was brought in this season after the quartet of Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, Tommy DeVito and Tim Boyle combined for just 15 touchdown passes along with 13 interceptions. The team's 77.8 passer-efficiency rating ranked last in the NFC. "I think that we've been stacking great days and just seeing guys really shine is a really cool thing," Wilson said of the offense. ... "Like I said, teaching and when you put it on, you get to do the walkthroughs and do the film and all the notes and all the things you do to try to be great and then you take it out to the field, that's what you want to see. That's what you want to feel. And I think that we're definitely feeling that." The Giants drafted quarterback Jaxson Dart with the No. 25 pick in the first round, but the starting job is Wilson's entering the summer. The team brought in veteran Jameis Winston to serve as a backup and DeVito remains on the roster to provide more depth. "I think you're always just trying to prove yourself right," said Wilson, who has 350 touchdown passes in 13 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks (2012-21), Denver Broncos (2022-23) and Steelers. "I know what I'm capable of every day. I never lack confidence." --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved

Texas A&M softball lands commitment from Missouri Tiger LHP
Texas A&M softball lands commitment from Missouri Tiger LHP Texas A&M softball coach Trisha Ford just bolstered her bullpen with a key addition. On Tuesday afternoon, she secured a commitment from Missouri transfer Taylor Pannell, a veteran left-handed pitcher with three years of SEC experience. Pannell's arrival helps offset the loss of ace Emiley Kennedy and reliable reliever Emily Leavitt, both of whom graduated. While best known as an elite closer, Pannell also showed promise as a starter last season. Against Texas A&M, she surrendered eight hits in a 4–3 loss but battled through 8.1 innings before giving up a walk-off home run to Amari Harper. With a career ERA of 2.75, 123 strikeouts across 129.2 innings, and 84 appearances, Pannell has a proven track record. She's tied the NCAA single-season saves record with 15 in 2024 and holds the NCAA career saves record with 24. Her versatility to pitch at any point in a game makes her a valuable addition to a bullpen in need of experience. Below you can see the official announcement on X.
