MSU commit, 3-star TE Eddie Whiting to take official visit later this month
One of the Spartans highest-rated commits in the 2026 class will take an official visit to Michigan State later this month.
Three-star tight end Eddie Whiting announced on Tuesday that he'll take an official visit to Michigan State on May 30. Whiting has been committed to Michigan State since early February and will now help recruit others to join the Spartans' 2026 class during his official visit weekend.
Whiting ranks as the No. 26 tight end in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2026 class. He is also listed as the No. 2 player from South Dakota and No. 553 overall prospect in the class. White was originally a four-star prospect when he committed to Michigan State but his rating has slightly dropped over the past few months.
Michigan State beat out a number of big-time programs for Whiting's verbal commitment. He holds offers from nearly 20 schools, including the likes of Auburn, Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Iowa State, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Washington, Washington State and UCLA.

Bill Belichick speaks to media on UNC's improvements during spring practices
Bill Belichick speaks to media on UNC's improvements during spring practices Bill Belichick likes his players' improvement over UNC's spring football practices. The highly-anticipated, 2025 college football season will begin in just two months, with the North Carolina Tar Heels expected to continue attracting plenty of attention. Hoping to escape a decade-long slump of mediocrity, UNC hired 8-time Super Bowl Champion Bill Belichick to be its next head football coach. Despite his endless success at the professional level, Belichick is a first-time college coach, so the questioning is understandable. Belichick quickly proved he can thrive outside of the NFL, landing North Carolina numerous commitments in the transfer portal. If you have trouble identifying any of the Tar Heels' 2025 starters, that's because they likely played college ball elsewhere last season. With essentially a brand-new team, it's natural to expect growing pains. According to Belichick, though, his players showed improvement across the board during spring practices. "(There was) better communication, better fundamentals, better understanding of what we're trying to do," Belichick said Tuesday at the Kenan Football Center. "Certainly the conditioning was much better. We practiced at a very high level, similar to what we have done in the past with Moses Cabrera, strength coach, and our offensive and defensive systems and so forth. The players were able to respond to that and maintain not only good health, but a high quality performance. So we didn't run out of gas. We were able to sustain the workload of those practices from our offseason training that started back in January." "We're not going to stop," Belichick continued. "We don't think we're there yet. We're definitely not there. We know we've got a long way to go, but I think these guys have a really good future in front of them, individually and collectively, and it's exciting to see the progress they've made." The first college football game of 2025 will be a 12 p.m. kickoff on Saturday, August 23 between Kansas State and Iowa State, when both programs play in Dublin, Ireland's Aer Lingus Classic. The Tar Heels will play their first game Monday, September 1 at 8 p.m. against TCU, making Belichick's first college game a primetime matchup under the Kenan Stadium lights.

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.
