What are LSU football's chances of landing five-star offensive lineman Darius Gray?
LSU football is trending towards a commitment from one of the 2026 cycle's best offensive linemen. Per Rivals' Prediction Machine, five-star Darius Gray has a 51.1% chance to land with the Tigers. South Carolina trails with a 32.5% chance. Gray's top five also includes Clemson, Tennessee, and Ohio State. Should Gray choose LSU, he would be the fifth five-star commitment and the fifth offensive lineman in the Tigers' class. It currently ranks fifth in the SEC and eighth nationally in Rivals' Industry Rankings. 247Sports is the highest on Gray. The outlet has him as the best player out of Virginia and at his position as well as No. 16 overall. Rivals slots him at No. 22 overall and No. 2 from his home state. LSU was favorited to land the Richmond, VA native for multiple weeks but head coach Brian Kelly and his staff must continue making him a priority. He isn't expected to commit before the start of his senior season at St. Christopher's School.

Southampton 'monitoring' Crystal Palace winger amid Rangers interest
Southampton are keeping a close eye on the future of Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, according to reports, with the 22-year-old attracting growing interest during the summer window. The highly rated wide man is the subject of a loan offer from Rangers, where manager Russell Martin is keen to strengthen his attacking options. Martin, formerly in charge at Southampton, is believed to be a long-time admirer of Rak-Sakyi and is now looking to bring him north of the border. Rak-Sakyi, who spent the last two seasons on loan at Charlton Athletic and Sheffield United respectively, has found first-team opportunities limited at Selhurst Park and could be open to a temporary move in pursuit of regular game time. Should Saints decide to step up their interest, they could offer the winger a chance to remain in the Championship, following their relegation from the top flight last year. Rangers, however, remain in pole position with a formal loan offer already on the table. The situation is expected to develop over the coming week. 📸 Molly Darlington - 2025 Getty Images
