Texas A&M Aggies Key Player
TJ Searcy, EDGE Jr.Or Dayon Hayes. The Aggies not only have to replace a bulk of the pass rushers from last year, but they also need more production. Washington transfer Jordan Shaw can play corner, but he's a better fit as a freelancing safety who can go attack the ball.Hayes is a 260-pound four-year producer for Rutgers, who made 164 tackles with 2.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss. Searcy has a world of upside after making 60 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and eight tackles for loss in two years at Florida. 2025 Texas A&M PreviewTexas A&M Offense BreakdownTexas A&M Defense Breakdown

SEC, Big Ten Clash Over Changes to CFP Format: Report
SEC, Big Ten Clash Over Changes to CFP Format: Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The College Football Playoff format is likely going to change and/or expand in the near future, but how and when is going to depend on the leadership of the two conferences with the most power and sway: the SEC and the Big Ten. Advertisement Ross Dellenger, senior college football reporter for Yahoo Sports, reported that FBS leadership gathered in North Carolina on Wednesday, June 18, to hear proposed formatting adjustments from CFP executive director Rich Clark and his group of analysts. The CFP instituted a 12-team field for the first time following the 2024 regular season. Though, despite the financial success of the new playoff system, several criticisms were levied against it from both inside and outside the CFP structure. Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith runs upfield as Ohio State cornerback Shaun Wade pursues during the College Football Playoff National Championship Game in Robertson / The Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY Network "The Big Ten wants a playoff where access is more like the NFL structure, determined through automatic qualifiers based on conference standings to limit the subjectivity of the selection committee," Dellenger wrote. "And the league also supports all four leagues — including the SEC and ACC — to play nine conference games as the Big Ten and Big 12 do." Advertisement Dellenger added that the SEC is more concerned with expanding the CFP field with strength of conference and schedule playing the largest roles in the selection process. "The SEC moved away from [the Big Ten's suggested] playoff format after its coaches publicly pushed back against it three weeks ago during the conference's spring meetings, instead now working toward a format that provides a bigger at-large pool, such as a 16-team model with five automatic qualifiers for conference champions and 11 at-large selections (5+11)," Dellenger continued. The Big Ten and SEC have joint control over any future formatting changes to the CFP, Dellenger said. Related: ACC Dynasty or College Football Playoff Bust?

CBS Sports tabs Michigan football WR Donaven McCulley as most important incoming transfer
CBS Sports tabs Michigan football WR Donaven McCulley as most important incoming transfer Michigan football brought in several impactful transfers this offseason. From quarterback Mikey Keene to defensive tackles Damon Payne and Tré Williams to linebacker Troy Bowles to running back Justice Haynes, there are several likely key contributors to the 2025 team ready and raring to go. But if Michigan is to have a successful season, it likely means one stood out above the pack. The Wolverines are counting on the defense continuing to dominate but retooled the offense in hopes that the passing game will be revamped. At the top, Sherrone Moore fired offensive coordinator Kirk Campbell and replaced him with Chip Lindsey — who had successful stints at Auburn, UCF, and North Carolina — while also making a splash landing five-star QB Bryce Underwood. But even if the offensive scheme and quarterback are better, the maize and blue passing attack will only be as good as their pass catchers. Thus, when CBS Sports put together a list of the most impactful transfers that College Football Playoff contenders brought in, it wasn't Haynes — the former Alabama tailback — who earned top marks for the Wolverines, it was former Indiana wide receiver Donaven McCulley. 16. Michigan Donaven McCulley, WR, Indiana No Michigan wide receiver hit the 250-yard barrier last season. Only one (Tyler Morris) even had 150 yards receiving. The Wolverines must get better at receiver, especially when you consider tight end Colston Loveland (56 catches, 582 yards, 5 TDs) is off to the NFL. That's what makes McCulley so important. McCulley was one of the best pass catchers in the Big Ten two years ago, reeling in 48 passes for 644 yards and six touchdowns. But he only played two games for Indiana last year before opting to sit out and transfer. There's a big question mark around whether McCulley can recapture his 2023 form. If he can, the 6-5, 203-pounder is exactly the type of go-to target Michigan lacked in 2024. If not ... Michigan will have to hope anyone can step up for an unproven quarterback room. McCulley will pair with fellow incoming transfer Anthony Simpson from UMass, as well as returning wideouts Semaj Morgan, Fredrick Moore, Kendrick Bell, Channing Goodwin, Peyton O'Leary, I'Marion Stewart, and a trio of freshmen in Jamar Browder, Andrew Marsh, and Jacob Washington. McCulley has earned rave reviews all offseason, having arrived in winter and participated in spring ball. If he can be even in the ballpark of the expectations heaped upon him, mig has a chance to right the ship after an 8-5 season a year ago.
