Texas A&M takes care of Sam Houston, defeating the Bearkats 14-1 on Tuesday night
Texas A&M (17-15, 3-9 SEC) took care of business on the road against Sam Houston, who entered the game with eight wins. It was crucial for the Aggies not to slip up after defeating then No. 1-ranked Tennessee by a combined 26-9 in Saturday's doubleheader series win. However, a quick 1-0 deficit had fans worried that the team had fallen back into its inconsistent ways.
Starting on the mound, freshman Gavin Lyons, who ended up having a solid three-inning outing, allowed a solo home run before locking back in, and from then on, the Aggie bats came alive. Trailing heading into the third, Wyatt Hensler's single drove in Jace LaViolette, leading to Bear Harrison's RBI single and A&M breaking the game wide open in the fourth.
Every Aggie star contributed to the scoring column, as Caden Sorrell, Harrison, and Kaeden Kent increased the Aggies' lead to 5-1. At the same time, the much-maligned Blake Binderup, who started in place of the injured Gavin Kash, recorded an RBI double to cap off a five-run fourth inning.
Home runs weren't needed against the Bearkats, as the Aggies added seven more runs in the fifth, sixth, and seventh frames before forcing the run rule, which has been a common theme during midweek games this season. Nearly every starter produced at the plate, but Caden Sorrell and Wyatt Henseler's 3-3 showing is what's needed moving forward.
However, freshman Terrence Kiel continues to impress, recording two hits while his defense continues to shine. After Lyons was relieved on the mound, Caden McCoy, Clayton Freshcorn, Luke Jackson, and Brad Rudis recorded 10 strikeouts, blanking the Bearkats for another solid performance from the bullpen.
The Aggies took care of business with South Carolina looming, and as we know, confidence and momentum is everything, and tonight's performance is a good sign of what we should see this weekend.
Texas A&M will host South Carolina starting Thursday, April 10, at 7:00 p.m. CT.

Nick Wright suggests Bo Nix is the next Mac Jones
Nick Wright wants to be starting something. Speaking on his "What's Wright?" show, Nick Wright and Cowherd spent time talking about the latest happenings in the NFL. Wright spoke on his expectations for Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, and he made a, say, rather interesting comparison. Wright believes that former quarterback Mac Jones, who suffered a sharp decline after a solid rookie season, is a great comparison for Nix. A stretch? Maybe. But check the clip below to see what Wright said. Wright compared Nix's Pro Bowl alternate nod, Denver's 10 wins and the Broncos getting knocked out of the playoffs by the Buffalo Bills to Jones' rookie season, suggesting that Nix will now have a similar career outcome. I'd say Wright is off the mark for two reasons: 1) Nix has Sean Payton and 2) Mac Jones never had Sean Payton. With Payton ready to take the Broncos to the next level in year three, it appears he has big plans to make Nix a superstar quarterback. Social: Follow Broncos Wire on Facebook and Twitter/X!

Darius Slay tells Steelers to 'stop playing' and pay Cam Heyward
One of the most polarizing topics currently dominating Steel City headlines is undoubtedly Cam Heyward's contract dilemma — and one veteran defender has his back. On Friday's episode of the Not Just Football with Cam Heyward podcast, special guests Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay wasted little time addressing the elephant in the room — comparing the contract situation to that of Watt. The conversation quickly got away from the group, spiraling into Slay warning the Steelers to get a deal done quickly. "We need you to get it done, you took a big tole in me coming here," Slay told Heyward on the podcast. "So, we need you out there now. Tell them to stop playing, right now." Why Heyward's negotiation is so hotly debated is because he's only one year into his two-year extension signed last September — but the Steelers veteran also argued the plan all along was to ask for more money after an All-Pro caliber year. Another Steelers veteran in a similar situation as Heyward is All-Pro K Chris Boswell — but if Pittsburgh could only pay one, let us know which contract is more important here.

Ceyair Wright earns final single-digit jersey for Nebraska football
The Huskers announced their final player to earn a single-digit jersey on Friday afternoon. Defensive back Ceyair Wright earns the final single-digit left for Nebraska, No. 1. Under head coach Matt Rhule's system, a player is awarded a single-digit jersey number for being one of the toughest on the team, a tradition he utilized at Temple and Baylor.

He joins fellow defensive backs Marques Buford Jr., Malcolm Hartzog Jr., and DeShon Singleton within the group. Wright played all 13 games for Nebraska in 2024, earning eight starts. He set career highs in tackles (39), pass breakups (6), interceptions (2), tackles for loss (1), sacks (1,) and forced fumbles (1).
