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.

Former Michigan State football RB talks experience in East Lansing
The 2021 Michigan State football season was one for the memories, with the Spartans going 11-2 and winning the Peach Bowl. A big part in the Spartans success that season was the outstanding play of running back Kenneth Walker. Walker was an unbelievable recruiting win for Mel Tucker and his staff, getting the running back from Wake Forest. During the season, Walker ran for 1,636 yards and 18 touchdowns, while finishing sixth in the Heisman voting, being an All-American and winning the Walter Camp Award. Now, enjoying a successful NFL career with the Seattle Seahawks, Walker has been very vocal about how favorable he thinks of his time in East Lansing. In a recent interview, courtesy of MSUcontent on X, Walker took a deep dive into the time he had at Michigan State and all of the things that made it such an enjoyable experience: Click here to view the interview with Walker Contact/Follow us @The SpartansWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Michigan State news, notes and opinion.

Notre Dame football offers 2027 SEC legacy safety Kenneth Simon a scholarship
Notre Dame football has put themselves in a great position with the 2026 and 2027 recruiting class. The current class is virtually filled with twenty-six commitments, which gives the Irish staff the luxury of being able to move their focus over to the 2027 cycle. They already have two commitments in linebacker Ellis McGaskin and long snapper Sean Kraft, but they are putting in work for other prospects. One of those is Tennessee safety Kenneth Simon, who received an offer from Notre Dame on Tuesday. The 6-foot, 2-inch and 198-pound defender is the exactly frame that the Irish are looking for in that position, and he's currently ranked as the No. 341 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite. Simon has a very solid offer list at this point in his recruitment, with Tennessee, Auburn, Florida, North Carolina and others already showing the interest. The Irish offer shouldn't surprise anyone, as his father Kevin played linebacker for the Vols and it has become a theme with Notre Dame recruiting recently to go after legacy prospects. They have had a lot of success with these type of players, and hopefully they can continue that trend with their pursuit of Simon.
