Texas A&M is trending for 2026 4-star WR, who placed the Aggies in his final list
After losing out on 2026 four-star wide receiver Ethan "Boobie" Feaster, who committed to USC, coach Mike Elko and WR coach Holmon Wiggins are looking to land the program's fourth wide receiver commit to join four-stars Aaron Gregory, Madden Williams, and Mike Brown, who have all shut down their recruitment. Mathews has not been considered a heavy favorite to land with the Aggies, but according to AggieSI writer Landyn Rosow, the situation has shifted in Texas A&M's favor.
"Though LSU and Ole Miss remain involved, sources tell AggiesSI that A&M is trending in the right direction. One source familiar with the situation said, 'A&M's sitting in a great spot right now. If the decision came today, they'd have a real shot.'
Mathews is considered one of the best route runners in the 2026 class, with excellent separation skills, soft hands, and impressive downfield burst. During his 2024 junior season, Mathews reeled in 1,138 yards and 15 touchdowns, and will more than likely play in the slot at the next level. After his official visit to College Station on June 13, the Aggie staff has stayed in constant contact with the standout receiver.
Set to announce his decision on August 8, all four programs, especially Auburn and LSU, still have time to make progress. However, after securing Tamarion Watkins' commitment over South Carolina, Texas A&M's recruiting momentum has surpassed nearly every program this summer and should continue into next month.

When does LSU football report for fall camp?
The 2025 college football season is about a month away and LSU football will begin its preparations in the coming days. The Tigers report for fall camp on July 29, with the first date of practice being July 30. They open the 2025 schedule with a top-10 road matchup at Clemson on August 30. LSU is currently a 3.5-point underdog in that contest. Following last season, head coach Brian Kelly's staff went to work in the transfer portal and signed the top class of the cycle. It included overhauls to the wide receiver and defensive end rooms, specifically, both of which benefited from an influx of proven power four talents. Garrett Nussmeier returns for his second season at the helm of LSU's offense. The quarterback is chasing the program's all-time leading passer mark in his fifth year donning the purple and gold. He's expected to be one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC and compete for the Heisman Trophy. As usual, the expectations are to compete for the College Football Playoff in Baton Rouge.

Nebraska scheduled to host a top class of 2027 running back target
Nebraska football running back target Kylonn Hanie is planning to come back to campus this fall, according to a new report by On3's Bryan Munson. Haynie is the No. 40 overall running back in the 2027 class, and the third overall player in his class from the state of Nebraska per the Rivals recruiting rankings. He is very familiar with Nebraska and its campus, having visited the program eight times over the last year. The Huskers have been involved in his recruitment since last April. He most recently visited the program on April 3. He was effective at running the football in 2024, carrying the ball 146 times for 1,011 yards and six touchdowns. He averaged 6.9 yards per carry and had six games of 100-plus rushing yards. He also proved effective at catching the football, tallying 11 receptions for 137 yards and two touchdowns. Haine indicated that he liked Nebraska, but Kansas is recruiting him hard. Wisconsin is also recruiting him. That being said, he plans to attend a couple of Nebraska's home games, in addition to Wisconsin. It sounds like this recruitment is certainly one that the Huskers are in. It will be interesting to see how it progresses throughout the year, as he has several visits scheduled.

Iowa football passing attack receives promising preseason prediction
The Iowa passing offense has been underwhelming for years now. The Hawkeyes haven't had a quarterback pass for more than 2,000 yards in a season since Nate Stanley in 2019. That threshold should be the floor for any non-military academy college football team these days, but Iowa has struggled to even reach that bar. However, the arrival of a new quarterback this offseason has fans and media members optimistic that Iowa's passing attack will be at least average in 2025. And one media outlet is predicting it to be even better. Pro Football Network shared one bold prediction for each Big Ten team heading into the 2025 season. Some of their predictions call for disastrous seasons (i.e., Maryland going winless in conference play) and others give a more rosy outlook (i.e., Indiana returning to the College Football Playoff). Hawkeye fans will be pretty excited to see what Pro Football Network had to say about Iowa. What is Iowa's bold prediction for 2025? Pro Football Network predicted Iowa to have an above-average passing game in 2025, which is music to Hawkeye fans' ears. It's been decades since the Iowa Hawkeyes fielded an excellent passing attack. Despite that, they've put together four double-digit season win totals in the last 10 years, primarily based on the strength of their defense. Quarterback play has been erratic and underwhelming, to say the least. But come 2025, enter new QB Mark Gronowski, tasked with uplifting a dormant passing offense. The most prolific passer in South Dakota State Jackrabbits program history across four seasons, the 6'3″, 230-pounder already has an accomplished college football career. With that experience and track record, as he's thrown 93 touchdowns versus just 20 interceptions (plus 37 scores on the ground) in his career, the Hawkeyes are set to trot out one of the top signal-callers in the Big Ten. With one of the top half passing offenses in the conference, watch out for the Hawkeyes to make some noise come November and potentially into December. -Pro Football Network. A lot of the optimism for the Hawkeyes' passing offense comes from Mark Gronowski and his ability to elevate a passing attack that's been dormant this entire decade. While it's still unknown how he'll make the switch from the FCS to the FBS level, there's real excitement about bringing in a guy with a proven track record of great quarterback play at a premier FCS program. Hawkeye fans don't have to wait long to see if Pro Football Network's prediction comes to fruition, with kickoff of the season opener just over a month away. Gronowski, Tim Lester, and the rest of the offense will have a chance to get things going and into a rhythm against Albany on Aug. 30 before a tough road test at Iowa State on Sept. 6.
