Nebraska extends scholarship offer to Florida wide receiver
Four-star wide receiver Larry Miles has received a scholarship offer from Nebraska.
Miles, ranked the No. 8 WR in the 2026 class, had a productive junior season at Jones High School (FL).
He recently visited Nebraska's campus and has an upcoming visit to Kentucky planned.
Kentucky and Miami are currently considered the favorites to land Miles.
A top ten wide receiver recruit has received a scholarship offer from the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Four-star prospect Larry Miles announced the offer on social media.
Miles is ranked as the No. 8 wide receiver in the class of 2026 according to Rivals. Last season, the Orlando, Florida native caught 68 passes for 1,204 yards and ten touchdowns for Jones High School.
Nebraska's class of 2026 holds four commitments. Dveyoun Bonwell-Witte is the class's only wide receiver, and corner CJ Bronaugh is the only commit from the state of Florida.
Miles has a visit to Kentucky planned later this month. The Wildcats and the Miami Hurricanes are considered the front-runners at this stage in the receiver's recruitment.
Miles received his scholarship offer after visiting the Lincoln campus earlier this week.

DJ Pickett may not be the only LSU football freshman making an impact on defense
LSU football cornerback DJ Pickett will make an immediate impact in 2025. The five-star freshman was one of LSU's most talented defenders the moment he arrived on campus. But he's not the only freshman with a chance to see the field. LSU safety CJ Jimcoily could eventually earn a spot in the rotation, too. Jimcoily was a three-star in the finals Rivals Industry Rankings of 2025 -- not the exact profile of a guy who plays right away in the SEC. But Jimcoily's strong early impression, along with LSU's depth concerns at safety, could work in Jimcoily's favor. Jimcoily is playing the STAR position in Blake Baker's defense. Harold Perkins has a strong grip on the starting spot, but down the depth chart, it's wide open. While the Industry Rankings had Jimcoily as a three-star, Rivals was high on Jimcoliy, ranking the Nashville product as a four-star and No. 13 at his position. At 6-foot-3, Jimcoily has the size you want in a safety/linebacker hybrid. It's exactly what Baker is looking for at the STAR spot. I wouldn't expect Jimcoily to play a lot, or even at all, early. But as LSU enters the stretch and depth is tested, LSU might need the freshman. LSU wasn't afraid to rely on true freshman defenders in 2024. If a guy is ready, Brian Kelly and Baker will put them on the field. Jimcoily could be playing a role when games matter in November.

LSU football pushing to flip five-star quarterback from SEC powerhouse
LSU football isn't giving up on the No. 1-ranked quarterback in the class of 2026. Per Rivals' Marcus Benjamin, LSU is still making its case to Texas commit Dia Bell. "They've always been there," Bell said of LSU. "I've always had a great relationship with Coach Sloan. He's still chipping away, trying to get me to come out, but I have not made any plans to visit LSU at this point," Bell said. According to the Rivals' Industry Rankings, Bell is the No. 4-ranked player in the country and No. 1-ranked quarterback. He's the top recruit in the state of Florida. Bell committed to Texas in June of 2024, and that pledge has held firm. The odds are stacked against the Tigers on this one, but Brian Kelly, Sloan, and staff aren't ready to throw in the towel. LSU is without a quarterback in its 2026 class after missing on top targets, including Bowe Bentley and Bryson Beaver. According to 247Sports, LSU's 2026 class ranks No. 8 in the country. LSU has secured commitments from two five-stars, wide receiver Tristen Keys and defensive tackle Lamar Brown, but the addition of Bell could launch LSU's class to another level. The Tigers remain in contention for the No. 1-ranked class in the country.

Back in July, Rippey announced a list of 12 schools under consideration that included Kentucky, North Carolina, Alabama, Duke, Louisville, Tennessee, Kansas, Indiana, Texas, Miami, North Carolina State, and Syracuse.
