Texas A&M is a finalist to land Boise State transfer defensive lineman
Texas A&M is a finalist to land Boise State transfer defensive lineman
Texas A&M's 2025 spring season has ended, and over the next four months, head coach Mike Elko and his staff are focused on building the 2026 recruiting class while landing valuable players from the transfer portal to add to the 2025 roster. Right now, the program's needs start with adding a defensive tackle, while adding another safety, cornerback, or wide receiver with height is also in the mix.
However, beefing up the defensive line is likely the No. 1 priority. While the Texas Longhorns, who were in dire need of adding defensive linemen, have landed several productive DTs from the portal, the Aggies are reportedly in contention for a Mountain West defensive lineman with the versatility and experience to add immediate value to A&M's 2025 defense.
On Monday, Boise State defensive lineman Braxton Fely released his top six transfer destinations, as Cal, Miami, Ole Miss, Georgia Tech, TCU, and Texas A&M are the final programs he will consider. While competing with equally desperate programs in need of depth, nothing is guaranteed, so getting him to College Station sooner rather than later is key.
Standing at 6'1" and nearly 300 pounds, Fely is coming off his most productive season, accounting for 24 tackles and 5.5 sacks. If he were to choose to transfer to Texas A&M, he would become a valuable rotational member of an already highly athletic defensive tackle room that just needs more bodies.

Nebraska getting visit from four-star athlete this weekend
Nebraska getting visit from four-star athlete this weekend Class of 2026 four-star athlete Jacob Eberhardt will visit Nebraska this weekend. This was reported by Tim Verghese on Tuesday. Eberhardt is the 216th overall player in the 2026 class, the fourth overall player in the state of Missouri, and the seventh overall player at his position per rankings. He measures in at six-foot-three, 210 pounds. Alabama, Oklahoma, and Missouri are also vying for Eberhardt's services. He has taken one previous visit to Lincoln, doing so on November 2. Currently, the 2026 Nebraska football recruiting class ranks 64th overall with five commitments per Rivals rankings. Eberhardt would be the second blue-chip commitment in the class, and give Nebraska football another talented athlete in the fold. This recruitment has a chance to lean heavily towards Nebraska, and another visit to Lincoln is certainly a step in the right direction for the program. This coaching staff has done well with versatile athletes, and Eberhart could give them another impact player.

Oregon football extends new offer to 2026 Boise State QB commit
Oregon football extends new offer to 2026 Boise State QB commit The Oregon Ducks extended an intriguing scholarship offer on Wednesday, reaching out to 3-star quarterback Bryson Beaver, from Murrieta, California. Beaver, who stands at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 1,092 player in the 2026 class, and the No. 72 quarterback. He has been committed to the Boise State Broncos since April of this year, but has been picking up some interest from other schools. According to Beaver's Instagram, the Ducks offered him a scholarship this week. Per his 247Sports profile, Beaver was also visited by Ohio State Buckeyes' coach Billy Fessler last month. Beaver currently has offers from the likes of Boise State, Utah, Hawaii, Nevada, California, and UNLV, among others. This offer is worth noting because of where the Ducks currently stand in the quarterback recruiting landscape. Earlier this spring, they lost the Jared Curtis sweepstakes, with the 5-star passer committing to the Georgia Bulldogs. They are currently projected to land 5-star QB Ryder Lyons, but there has been some buzz recently that the BYU Cougars are willing to pay him inordinate sums of money to keep the Utah product in-state through his LDS mission. If that is the case, then the Ducks' offering another QB in the class makes a bit of sense. Regardless, they still could feel good about where they stand with Lyons but are just covering their bases with another talented and rising QB prospect. As of yet, Beaver has not taken a visit to Oregon, but with this recent offer, it would not be shocking to see him on campus at some point this summer to check things out.
