Former Clemson standout Tristan Bissetta announces commitment to SEC school
Former Clemson standout Tristan Bissetta announces commitment to SEC school Everything LSU football coach Brian Kelly said this week about facing Clemson in opener — Clemson Wire (@Clemson_Wire) June 14, 2025 One-time Clemson starting outfielder Tristan Bissetta has found his next stop. The veteran left-handed hitter announced Saturday that he's transferring to Ole Miss for his final year of eligibility, saying he's 'super blessed for this opportunity' and 'ready to get to work.' Bissetta spent the past three seasons at Clemson, where he developed into a key bat in the Tigers' lineup. The former JL Mann High School standout broke out in 2024, batting .298 with seven home runs and 34 RBIs. However, his senior campaign was cut short due to injury, and he finished the season hitting .227 over 75 at-bats with three homers and 16 RBIs in 31 games. He owns a career .286 average with a .487 slugging percentage. After entering the portal, Bissetta shared a heartfelt message to Clemson. 'These past four years mark the most impactful time in my life,' he wrote. 'I was able to fulfill a lifelong dream by putting on the Tiger uniform… This place gave me my best friends, unforgettable memories, and a place to always call home.'

Auburn football target, four-star WR Marquez Daniel, announces commitment decision
Auburn football target, four-star WR Marquez Daniel, announces commitment decision Auburn was at the top of local wide receiver Marquez Daniels' recruitment. Did they ultimately win the sweepstakes? Auburn football made the top-two of local wide receiver Marquez Daniel earlier this week. However, they came up short in their pursuit as he announced his commitment early Saturday morning. Daniel, a four-star wide receiver from Booker T. Washington High School in nearby Tuskegee, Alabama, chose Florida over Auburn on Saturday morning according to a report by Tyler Harden of Swamp247. Daniels made the decision while on his official visit to Florida this weekend. According to Harden, Daniel's relationship with Gators' wide receiver coach Billy Gonzalez, who is known to be a coach that "wasn't afraid to coach him up." His relationship with Auburn wide receivers coach Marcus Davis was strong as well, as he spoke about during his official visit to the Plains last weekend. "It was a great weekend, I was glad to see everything. I spent a whole day on campus and had a great time," Daniel said to Auburn Undercover last weekend. "Chopped it up with Coach Davis and Coach Mo (Maurice Harris), had a great time. It was very important to see how they show real and true love to me. I'm glad I've got them." Where does Auburn turn for a wide receiver in 2026? The Tigers have two commitments at the position from four-star Devin Carter and three-star Denarius Gray, and are in the mix for several others including four-star Jase Matthews, three-star Jonah Winston, and three-star Deion Thomas. Auburn took a giant hit in recruiting this week after losing the pledge of four-star linebacker JaMichael Garrett, and will not fight the likes of Ole Miss, Miami, and Texas A&M to try to win it back.
