Iowa football 2026 QB commit updates recruitment amid offers from elsewhere
Iowa's quarterback commit in the 2026 class, Cash Herrera, is starting to pick up steam in his recruitment from elsewhere.
In recent days, both Arizona and Cal have offered Herrera. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound quarterback was initially offered by Iowa in June of 2024 and announced his commitment to the Hawkeyes on Oct. 3, 2024.
When he committed to Iowa, Herrera also held offers from schools such as Colorado State, Minnesota, San Diego State, UCLA, Virginia Tech and Washington State.
"I'm still with Iowa. I love Iowa. I love the staff, everyone there. It's just, at this moment, I don't want to close any doors," Herrera told Eliot Clough with Hawkeye Beacon of his current recruitment status.
Herrera is Iowa's lone quarterback commit in the 2026 cycle. Out of the Bishop's School in La Jolla, California, Herrera is a consensus three-star commit per 247Sports, Rivals and On3.
247Sports ranks Herrera as the nation's No. 29 quarterback and as the No. 55 player from California in the 2026 class. According to the On3 industry ranking, Herrera is the nation's No. 628 player overall.
Herrera joins offensive linemen Carson Nielsen, Owen Linder, Hudson Parliament, Colin Whitters and Gene Riordan, wide receivers Brody Schaffer and Diondre Smith and defensive back Marcello Vitti in the Hawkeyes' group of current 2026 commits.
According to On3, Iowa's 2026 recruiting class is currently ranked as the No. 22 class nationally.

Ohio State softball 2026 conference schedule unveiled
Looking forward to 𝐁𝟏𝐆 things in 2026.@OhioStAthletics | #GoBucks It was an overachieving year for the Ohio State softball team this past season. Despite losing a lot of key players, new head coach Kirin Kumar was able to lead the team to an offensive explosion in which the Buckeyes led the country in home runs, runs scored, and a few other categories. OSU ended up tying for third place in the Big Ten and found its way into the NCAA Tournament. Now, the trick will be to continue that momentum and continue the climb in the Big Ten and nationally. To do it, Ohio State will have to navigate a Big Ten schedule that now includes West Coast power teams like UCLA and Oregon. This past week, the Big Ten unveiled the conference schedule for the 2026 softball season, so we got a look at who the Buckeyes will play next season and where they will do it. Ohio State will host four home series in the conference and hit the road for four others. Here's how it'll all look next season. Ohio State 2026 Big Ten Softball Schedule March 6-8, 2026: Iowa (Columbus, Ohio)March 13-15, 2026: at Purdue (West Lafayette, Ind.)March 27-29, 2026: Michigan State (Columbus, Ohio)April 3-5, 2026: at Minnesota (Minneapolis, Minn.)April 10-12, 2026: at Michigan (Ann Arbor, Mich.)April 17-19, 2026: Penn State (Columbus, Ohio)April 24-26, 2026: at Oregon (Eugene, Ore.)May 1-3, 2026: Washington (Columbus, Ohio) It's still a long time before we see any of these games, but it's nice to see how everything will look next year. The nonconference schedule will be released at a later day.

WATCH: Ohio State basketball guard Taison Chatman appears to be recovering well
TC comeback season 𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 🔋#GoBucks | #FightToTheEnd The Ohio State basketball team has been going through its summer workouts and showing some of the audio and video from the start of what it hopes will be the building blocks to a successful return to the NCAA Tournament this season after missing it for the third year in a row last year. Optimism seems to be abounding with the health of the team, and with the mixture of incoming talent through the transfer portal and returning scoring and athleticism, the Buckeyes were able to retain. One guy, however, OSU did not have the services of last year is guard Taison Chatman. He tore his ACL during spring workouts last season and has been recovering after surgery, taking a redshirt year last year. If he can come back healthy, he could add some needed shooting touch and ball handling that is sorely needed. And, but the looks of some video shared on the Ohio State X account, it sure looks like Chatman is getting around pretty good and scoring buckets in some of the controlled scrimmage sessions. Take a look at Chatman in some highlights that should give everyone some excitement for what he could bring to the floor this season. Many people forget about Chatman as an option, but if he can be another option to score, handle the ball, and provide depth, he could be a pleasant surprise this year.

Pair of top DBs commit to Notre Dame's 2026 class
Notre Dame has picked up commitments from a pair of blue-chip defensive backs in the Class of 2026. Joey O'Brien, ranked by the 247Sports composite as the No. 6 safety and No. 65 overall player, committed Friday. So did Khary Adams, the No. 9 cornerback and No. 75 overall player, per the composite. O'Brien plays at LaSalle College High School near Philadelphia. Adams is from Loyola Blakefield in Towson, Md. Their commitments give Notre Dame the No. 2 recruiting class, according to the composite. The Fighting Irish class has commitments from 19 players, short of the 30 that give Southern California the No. 1 class six months ahead of the early signing period. According to ESPN, O'Brien had 36 tackles. But as a two-way player at the high school level, he set school records for receiving yards (1,029) and touchdowns (12). Adams had 43 tackles and three interceptions as a junior. O'Brien said the experience of head coach Marcus Freeman and his staff led him to choose Notre Dame. "They're incredible people, and they know their stuff on football," he said. "Those are coaches who will get you to the NFL. They run all the right stuff." --Field Level Media Field Level Media 2025 - All Rights Reserved
