Texas A&M's last two basketball transfer additions have made their way to College Station
We can now check both players off said list, as Agee recently made his way to campus and reportedly completed his first practice alongside Domínguez. At the same time, Federiko is the latest arrival and will begin workouts this week. This is significant news for a roster that needs to develop chemistry this summer to be ready for the 2025 season, which is a little over three months away.
With the news that transfer guard Pop Isaacs has been cleared for non-contact work this week, the roster is truly coming together. Being in the same space not only allows for gaining a rhythm on the court but also for building bonds in the locker room that will pay dividends early in the season.
While Isaccs and Indiana transfer forward Mackenzie Mgbako look like the potential scoring leaders this coming season, Federiko could earn the starting center role to provide elite rebounding/paint defense coupled with a high field goal percentage, paired with Agee's likely rotational role as another scoring option off the bench after shooting 55% from the field and nearly 40% from 3-point range with the Trojans last season.

USC football countdown to kickoff—Matt Leinart in focus
The countdown to USC's 2025 football season is officially on! The Trojans kick off their new campaign 11 days from today. You need something to help you while away the days and hours in the spring and summer. This is one way to do so. In this new series, countdown to kickoff, we will be counting down the days by highlighting a notable Trojan who wore each number. Today, we look at USC Heisman Trophy quarterback Matt Leinart. Position: Quarterback Years played at USC: 2001-2005 Career highlights: After redshirting in 2001 and serving as a backup behind Heisman winner Carson Palmer in 2002, Leinart won USC's starting quarterback job as a redshirt sophomore in 2003. His first start came in the road at Auburn, and he threw a touchdown on his first career pass attempt as he led the Trojans to a dominant 23-0 victory. Over the next three years, Leinart led USC to an incredible 37-2 record. The Trojans won the 2003 and 2004 national championships, giving Leinart as many national titles in his college career as losses. In 2005, they came up one game short of winning a third consecutive title, falling to Texas in an instant classic Rose Bowl. Leinart was named a first-team All-American and a Heisman finalist in both 2004 and 2005. In 2004, he won the Heisman Trophy, becoming the second USC quarterback to take home the honor in three years. He finished his time in Cardinal and Gold as USC's all-time leader in touchdown passes and No. 2 in passing yards—although he was later passed by Matt Barkley in both categories. After USC: The Arizona Cardinals selected Leinart with the 10th overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. Although he spent seven years in the league, Leinart's NFL career is widely viewed as a disappointment, as he never lived up to the hype that surrounded him coming out of USC. He finished his time in the league with a 57.1 completion percentage and 15 touchdown passes to 21 interceptions while spending time with Arizona, the Houston Texans, and the Arizona Cardinals. Since retiring from football, Leinart has been a regular presence around the Trojans program, serving as a mentor to numerous other USC quarterbacks. He also works as an analyst on Fox Sports's Big Noon Kickoff college football pregame show.

Debating best individual seasons in college football history, Barry Sanders to Cam Newton?
Auburn will retire Cam Newton's jersey number this season, an honor for a quarterback who delivered one of the greatest individual seasons in college football history, complete with a Heisman Trophy and a national championship. Newton's got some company in the conversation for single-season greatness. On this edition of "SEC Football Unfiltered," a podcast from the USA TODAY Network, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams reminisce about some of the most stellar individual seasons they've ever witnessed. Adams dials up the wayback machine with a few of his picks, while Toppmeyer's picks represent the perspective of the millennial generation. Greatest single-season performances in college football Toppmeyer's candidates for greatest single season he's witnessed: Newton's 2010 season is in the mix. As the do it-all-star for the Tigers, he elevated an otherwise unremarkable team to 14-0. Other seasons that come to mind: Ricky Williams, Texas (1998): Williams became the definition of a bell-cow tailback and rushed for 2,124 yards. Defenses knew what was coming – handoff to Williams – and still struggled to stop it. Remarkably, he had two games with more than 300 yards rushing. Reggie Bush, Southern California (2005): He broke off big runs, he caught passes, he returned punts and kicks. He proved the complete package, and a big play waiting to happen. Just when defenders seemingly had Bush cornered, he'd cut on a dime and make a highlight out of nothing. Tim Tebow, Florida (2007): Tebow's entire career was transcendent, but his Heisman-winning season stood out most. He was a passer, runner and bulldozer all in one. Between passing and running, he produced an astounding 55 touchdowns. Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M (2012): Never has Texas A&M looked more capable of taming the SEC than in its first season in the conference. That's a credit to Manziel. He passed for more than 3,700 yards and rushed for more than 1,400. He redefined the idea of a human highlight reel. Joe Burrow, LSU (2019): Burrow made an undefeated national champion out of Ed Orgeron. He was that good. Sure, he had a lot of talent at his disposal, but Burrow was the magician at the controls of a 15-0 team. He threw for 5,671 yards and a whopping 60 touchdowns. Honorable mention to Ndamukong Suh's 2009 season with Nebraska. He wreaked constant havoc. Adams' candidates for greatest single season he's witnessed: My list also includes Bush (2005), Tebow (2007), Newton (2010) and Manziel (2012). Here are three more that stand the test of time: Archie Manning, Mississippi (1969): Never mind that Manning finished fourth in Heisman voting this season. He led the Rebels to upsets of four top-10 opponents: Georgia, LSU, Tennessee and Arkansas. Ole Miss didn't win the national championship, but Manning ensured the Rebels spoiled the hopes of several others, and Ole Miss won the Sugar Bowl. Herschel Walker, Georgia (1981): Walker's entire career was excellent. He won the Heisman in 1982, but he was even better in his runner-up season in '81, when he rushed for 1,891 yards. If you saw Walker rumbling at you, prepare to be flattened. Barry Sanders, Oklahoma State (1988): Sanders' single-season rushing record of 2,628 still stands, and that figure only reflects his yardage in 11 regular-season games and does not include his bowl stats. Sanders' speed, spins, jukes and overall elusiveness remain unmatched. Later in the episode ∎ The hosts weigh in on Joey Aguilar winning Tennessee's starting quarterback job and what that means for the Vols.

Oklahoma Sooners quarterback named to Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award watch list
Oklahoma Sooners quarterback John Mateer isn't new to preseason award watch lists. He's already stockpiled nods for the Maxwell, Walter Camp, and Davey O'Brien awards this summer. On Tuesday, his name was added to a fourth watch list, breaking a tie with running back Jaydn Ott for the most recognitions on the team. Mateer and Ott are currently the only players on OU's roster with more than two watch list appearances. Mateer was named to the preseason watch list for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award on Tuesday. The award is given to the nation's top quarterback who best exemplifies character, scholastic and athletic achievement. Mateer arrives, along with offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, from Washington State, where the pair found success together last season. By all accounts, Mateer has been the leader this team needed on the field and in the locker room, and the new offense has the players excited for what this team can do when the Sooners have the ball this fall. Oklahoma is hoping to make some noise in their second season in the SEC. After making big changes all over the program this offseason, including Arbuckle and Mateer, the Sooners need a big season in their fourth year with head coach Brent Venables at the helm. Otherwise, even bigger changes could be coming to Norman next offseason.
