MSU commit, 4-star WR Tyren Wortham picks up offer from SEC school
Michigan State commit Tyren Wortham of Sarasota, Fla. announced on Monday night that he's received an offer from Auburn. Wortham posted about the offer from the Tigers on his social media X account.
Wortham is a four-star wide receiver in the 2026 class. He committed to Michigan State last month over the likes of Georgia, UCF and Kansas State. He was originally committed to the Golden Knights before flipping to the Spartans about a month ago.
Wortham saw a notable bump in the Rivals/On3 recruiting rankings update on Monday, now sitting as the No. 112 overall prospect in the class. He holds offers from more than 30 schools, with Auburn being the first to offer him since his commitment to the Spartans last month.
Wortham was a monster get for the Spartans during a monster month of June on the recruiting trail. So it should come as no surprise to see a school like Auburn sniffing around and trying to get him to reopen his recruitment. Hopefully, nothing materializes out of this offer (or any other future offers) and we see Wortham in the Spartans' green-and-white next year as a member of the 2026 class.

Spartans extend official offer to Pitt commit, 4-star RB prospect from Baltimore
Michigan State football has extended an official offer to a top 20 running back in the 2026 class. Damon Ferguson of Baltimore announced on Monday that he's received his official offer from the Spartans. Ferguson is verbally committed to Pitt, but was once strongly considering the Spartans before announcing his commitment to the Panthers in early June. August 1 was the first day for schools to extend official offers to prospects in the 2026 class. Ferguson is a four-star running back prospect, with a recruiting rating of 91.20 in 247Sports' composite system. He ranks as the No. 17 running back and No. 263 overall prospect in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2026 class. Michigan State was previously prioritizing Ferguson but ultimately came up short in the recruiting battle with Pitt. This latest update of him receiving his official offer from the Spartans could suggest Michigan State is still pursuing him as a priority player, or it, of course, could simply be keeping the door open should he elect to reconsider his commitment to Pitt. Either way, this is a big-time player to keep an eye on as we lead up to signing day in December -- especially since Michigan State still has not landed a verbal commitment from a running back prospect in the 2026 class.

Peyton Manning visits dugout at Savannah Bananas game
#BroncosCamp was a little bananas today! 🔥@BananaBall_ x @TheSavBananas The Savannah Bananas took their World Tour to Denver, Colorado, over the weekend as they entertained fans with two games at Coors Field. They play 'Banana Ball,' which MLB's website describes as a "fast-paced, action-packed style of baseball with rules that include a two-hour time limit, fans catching foul balls for outs and games that are won by points -- not runs." While in town, a few members of the Savannah Bananas and players from the Firefighters (one of Savannah's opponents in the Banana Ball league) stopped by Denver Broncos training camp on Tuesday. Former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning and his son, Marshall, attended at least one of the games at Coors Field, and he got into the dugout: It's a good day for a good day when you turn around and see Peyton Manning in the dugout. Awesome weekend at Coors Field for the Firefighters vs. Bananas. Banana Ball's "Dancing Umpire" also got a picture with Manning: "From calling audibles to watching a banana's game," the umpire wrote on his Facebook page. "Had to get a pic with the legend himself Peyton Manning! 'Omaha Omaha' this was an audible I didn't have on my bingo card!" The Savannah Bananas have a sold-out schedule for the rest of their 2025 season. Social: Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X! Did you know: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

Former UNC running back the favorite for Dallas Cowboys' starting gig
Can you imagine starting for the Dallas Cowboys? Javonte Williams "continues to see the most reps with the starters", per @ RB1 spot is getting clearer in Dallas 👀 North Carolina is quickly earning a reputation for their running backs over the years and sending them to the NFL UNC's most recent backfield addition to the NFL is Omarion Hampton, who became the Los Angeles Chargers' 22nd overall pick in April. Before Hampton, North Carolina sent the likes of Ty Chandler, Michael Carter and Javonte Williams to the NFL. Only Williams, who rushed for 1,140 yards during the Tar Heels' 2020 season, remains as a starting-caliber NFL back. Williams, now a member of the Dallas Cowboys, is all-but-confirmed as Dallas' 2025 starter. On Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic said Williams is emerging as the Cowboys' RB1 option, thanks to a strong Training Camp. Williams, who didn't play in Dallas' preseason opener against the Los Angeles Rams, signed a 1-year deal earlier in the offseason. Williams is competing against Deuce Vaughn, Jaydon Blue and former 1,000-yard rusher Miles Sanders for the Cowboys' starting job. Williams made an immediate impact for the Denver Broncos during his rookie season, rushing for a career-high 903 yards and four touchdowns. Since suffering a knee injury early in 2022, Williams bounced between starting action and bench production. During Denver's long-awaited return to the NFL Postseason in 2024, Williams found the end zone four times, tying his rookie high and hinting at increased production. Dallas made a head-scratching decision to release Ezekiel Elliott after 2023 – and hasn't found consistent backfield production since. Williams might not be the Cowboys' running back of their future, but the former UNC back has a great chance to prove himself as that guy in 2025.
