What to expect for Texas Longhorns SEC Media Days
SEC Media Days is in full swing in Atlanta. The four day event will highlight four teams per day. Texas will take the stage tomorrow (Tuesday). The Longhorns will be represented by coach Steve Sarkisian, quarterback Arch Manning, safety Michael Taaffe and linebacker Anthony Hill, Jr.
The Texas portion of the media days will be on Tuesday at 2:25 p.m. CT. There will be several storylines that should be hot topics during the Longhorns presentation. Here are a few:
Arch Manning
Texas' new QB1 might be the most anticipated speaker at the event. Despite only starting two games in his career, Manning is possibly the biggest start in college football. Manning will now be doing more and more press, but this will be the first time he meets the press since ascending to the top spot on the quarterback depth chart.
Strong Defense
Taaffe and Hill will be asked to discuss the Longhorns stout defense from 2024 and how it will change with some new personnel. Experts and scouts expect big things from UT's defense, which is ranked as the No. 2 defensive unit in the recently released EA College Football 26.
Ewers vs. Manning
Sark will undoubtely be asked about his decision to stick with Ewers in the college football playoffs. Many in the media have openly questioned the decision, including ESPN's Paul Finebaum and former Florida coach Steve Spurrier.
College Football Playoff Format
It will probably be a topic with every coach at SEC Media Days, and around the nation. As the CFP committee discuss format changes, no one has a better perspective than Sarkisian, who has led Texas to two college football semifinals in a row, one in a four-team format and one in last year's 12 team format.
Taaffe's unique story
The rise from walk-on to All-American will be something Taaffe will speak about. His remarkable story has captivated fans and media members across the country.

Pro Football Focus previews Texas A&M's 2025 football season
Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko will enter his second season at the helm with higher expectations than his inaugural campaign, largely due to the return of talent and 14 transfer portal additions that have added much-needed depth to a roster that needed to change for the better and transform previous weaknesses into predominant strengths. The return of redshirt sophomore quarterback Marcel Reed resulted in wide receivers KC Concepcion (NC State) and Mario Craver (Mississippi State), two of the top transfer receivers, choosing the Aggies based on Reed's skill set and their overall fit in OC Collin Klein's offense. In the backfield, senior running back Le'Veon Moss and former five-star Rueben Owens are the headliners, while Amari Daniels and EJ Smith provide elite depth. However, the 2025 Aggie offense will only work as long as the offensive line lives up to its high offseason expectations, which includes all five 2024 starters, led by senior guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams, whose high confidence in the O-line and the offense as a whole was seen during his appearance at SEC Media Days last week. "The goals we have aren't lofty. We were one play away from being in the SEC Championship game… We're coming." Adams' statement isn't just based on confidence, but the reality that surrounds A&M's roster, which is all too experienced and talented not to win at least nine or ten games this season, despite what rival fanbases or some in the national media have stated. Still, credit to Pro Football Focus for, yes, focusing on the core reasons Texas A&M will either make the College Football Playoff or, once again, win only seven or eight games. On offense, PFF believes that the running game, led by Le'Veon Moss and Marcel Reed, during designed runs, is Texas A&M's primary strength, mainly due to the backfield's speed and vision, combined with the veteran offensive line, which will also open up the passing game with new and returning weapons. "Texas A&M's ground game should be one of the best in the country this season. The Aggies boast the No. 5 running back unit and No. 3 offensive line, along with one of the top rushing quarterbacks in the nation in Marcel Reed. Adding to that firepower are wide receivers Kevin Concepcion and Terry Bussey, both of whom have shown big-play ability out of the backfield." Defensively, the loss of defensive linemen Shemar Stewart, Shemar Turner, and Nic Scourton to the NFL created an opening for senior edge Cashius Howell and junior Rylan Kennedy to earn starting spots on the outside, while four defensive line additions from the transfer portal, including former Iowa State DL Tyler Odyedim, who is nearly guaranteed to make an immediate impact inside between junior DJ Hicks and senior Albert Regis. However, the defense isn't highlighted within the preview, instead noting that Texas A&M's main weakness is Marcel Reed's potential lack of improvement in the passing game, which could put the Aggies at a disadvantage if he doesn't exhibit strides early and throughout the 2025 season. "For Texas A&M's offense to avoid becoming one-dimensional in 2025, Marcel Reed must develop as a passer. His 64.6 passing grade last season ranked just 114th nationally, and his 29.4 grade under pressure was the fourth-lowest in the Power Four. With a top-tier offensive line and a deep group of playmakers around him, the pieces are in place — now Reed simply needs to elevate his game." While these are simply numbers, Reed's "freshman moments" came under pressure, leading to most of his six interceptions. Therefore, I agree that with all the strengths around him, improving in the pocket is mandatory for the Aggies to win tough games at home, especially on the road. PFF named Marcel Reed and Ar'maj Reed-Adams as the offensive players of focus, noting Reed's speed and 22 "explosive" runs last season, paired with Adams' elite running blocking and overall power as both players' strengths. On defense, junior linebacker Taurean York, who finished with 59 run stops last season, is either tied, or right behind Texas LB Anthony Hill Jr., who, as we all remember, was once committed to Texas A&M. The biggest takeaway from this preview is that we are in complete agreement that Marcel Reed's internal clock, which PFF measured at an average of 3.1 seconds before his release last season, needs to speed up, which shouldn't be difficult while working with a wide receiver room built on speed and quickness and better separation in coverage. Texas A&M is a College Football Playoff contender on paper, only if Marcel Reed takes that proverbial "next step," while the pass rush and secondary show consistency with Mike Elko now calling plays.

Shaq has been refurbishing basketball courts for 30 years, knows first hand how they can help kids
Shaquille O'Neal knows exactly how much refurbishing a basketball court can mean to a community and the kids who play on it. He learned first-hand from his former Boston Celtics teammate Marquis Daniels. He was a teenager three decades ago when O'Neal was playing with the Orlando Magic and rebuilt a court in the inner city area where Daniels was growing up. 'It was big. He was somebody growing up that I looked up to, he was the tallest person I had ever seen,' Daniels told The AP. 'He was playing with my home team the Orlando Magic and giving back to the community and showing his appreciation. For kids like me to have a court in the inner city was huge.' Years later when they were teammates in Boston, Daniels reminded the Hall of Famer that he had been at that court dedication and how it helped change his life. After a 10-year career in the NBA, Daniels has been working as a coach at his alma mater Auburn since 2018. O'Neal recalled Daniels telling him the story. 'He said, you don't remember me?' O'Neal said while in Rockwell, Texas, to refurbish another court near his new home. 'I said no, and he said well I was one of the kids that grew up in Orlando and you fixed up a court. Because you fixed it up, I'm here.' Refurbishing courts is commonplace around the NBA and WNBA. The Indiana Fever unveiled a new Legacy Court at a local park in Indianapolis during All-Star weekend and the league has an initiative this year to put down orange lines across the country to inspire young players with a WNBA 3-point arc on outdoor courts. The renovated court at Gloria Williams park is now part of a collection of Comebaq Courts, a joint venture by Icy Hot and the Shaquille O'Neal Foundation to build well-equipped and safe courts for kids across the country. 'They found this court that hasn't been refurbished in a while and that's historical with the city,' O'Neal said. Renovating one in Rockwall was actually the idea of Dallas Wings star Arike Ogunbowale. She's played her entire career in Dallas and wanted to do something for the community. 'This is like my second home. I've been here my whole career, so this initiative with Icy Hot and Shaq was a no-brainer,' she said. 'Just to give back to the youth that pours into us and my teammates every night is special.' It's special to O'Neal also as he plans to spend a lot of his time in the Texas city. 'I'll get on my little scooter or motorcycle and just ride by and see what's going on with the kids,' he said. 'I work in Atlanta, but it's only an hour flight and I'm sure at some point this will be my permanent home.' O'Neal, who is the president of Reebok Basketball, also donated basketball shoes to all the members of the Boys & Girls Club kids who were at the event. ___ AP WNBA: AP NBA:

Was end of '24 the start of something good? Does Panthers' playoff drought end this year?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Robert Hunt grew up hard in a small town in southeast Texas by the Louisiana state line. His graduating class at Burkeville High consisted of fewer than 20 students, and he was lightly recruited before signing with Louisiana in 2015. Five seasons later, Hunt left Lafayette as an all-conference selection, an NFL combine participant and a second-round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins. Advertisement Things are not always what they seem. 'I was a two-star athlete. Went to a school, graduated with 18 kids. I like to surprise people,' Hunt said. 'Because when I walk in a room, they don't know. 'He went through this.' Then I walk up and I show up and then, 'Oh, s—.' ' 'I love that doing that s—,' Hunt added. 'So hopefully we can do that. Because I like what I feel.' Panthers G Rob Hunt, a Pro Bowler last year, likes the vibe around the team and its chances to surprise some people. — Joe Person (@josephperson) July 22, 2025 Hunt was speaking from the fourth floor of Bank of America Stadium last week after the Carolina Panthers' veterans joined the rookies at training camp. It was in this building 10 years ago that the Panthers captured a city, fired up a fan base and caught the attention of a 19-year-old freshman member of the Ragin' Cajuns' offensive scout team. 'I remember '15 when Cam Newton was here. That's kind of what everybody remembered,' said Hunt, the Panthers' right guard. 'Until that changes, that's probably what you're gonna get and that's fair. If I sucked or if I did something terrible, I would expect people to not root for me or vote for me or have my back. But what I can say and what I feel is I'm excited to see if we can surprise a lot of people.' Those Panthers rode the wave of a 14-0 start and their MVP-winning quarterback all the way to Santa Clara, Calif., and Super Bowl 50, where they fell to the Denver Broncos 24-10. Hunt is not suggesting these Panthers should be considered favorites to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LX, which again will be held in Levi's Stadium in the San Francisco Bay area. But he notes the three-win improvement the team made in his first season in Charlotte, looks around at the familiar faces in the offensive line room — and the new ones staring at him from the defensive line — and sees signs of progress. Advertisement For a franchise that hasn't sniffed the playoffs since 2017, that will have to do. 'I like what I see,' said Hunt, who made his first Pro Bowl after signing a five-year, $100 million contract with the Panthers in 2024. 'Obviously, we've gotta play some football here these next couple weeks and we'll see how that feels and looks. Then we'll play other teams and see how that feels and looks. But I think we're built the right way. I think we're physical. We're big. We're nasty. We've got new skills (players). We've got skills on defense, new D-line (guys).' The Panthers' seven years without a playoff appearance is tied with the Atlanta Falcons for the second-longest active drought in the NFL. The New York Jets have missed the playoffs for 14 consecutive seasons. The Panthers' current postseason-less stretch also is the longest in franchise history, topping the six-year drought before their 2003 Super Bowl season. Despite that seven-year skid, which coincides with David Tepper's ownership tenure, the Panthers began camp with some buzz surrounding them. Kay Adams, host of Up & Adams, ranked the Panthers fifth among teams most likely to enjoy a turnaround season. Rich Eisen, a nationally syndicated broadcaster, pegged the Panthers as his No. 3 sleeper team that could 'shock people and be a 7 seed.' One person who's not ready to put the Panthers in the playoffs yet? Their general manager. Dan Morgan started his pre-camp news conference with a prepared statement that touched on his commitment to building a tough and competitive team that can sustain success over time. Morgan pointed to the upgrades he believes will give the Panthers more 'dynamic options' on both sides of the line. His statement lasted for 90 seconds but made no mention of the playoffs. 'If you're doing the things that I mentioned, things will take care of themselves, whether it's playoffs,' he said later. 'You need to not look in that direction. I think that you have to go out there and work on a daily basis, and you've just gotta earn it. Everything that's gonna come to us this year is gonna have to be earned. And it starts out there on the practice field.' Advertisement The work begins in earnest Monday morning with the first full-padded practice. For a second-year coach who wants to field a physical team, Monday will be instructive. 'It tells us a lot about our players. There's another level. We call the pads the great equalizer,' Dave Canales said. 'Where a guy may not have an advantage when we're playing in shorts. But all of a sudden it gets dirty in there … and sometimes guys just elevate. Some guys take a step down.' Morgan successfully rebuilt the Panthers' offensive line in one offseason to better protect Bryce Young. He tried to do the same with the defensive line this past winter after the Panthers finished last in nearly every major defensive category. But Canales also seems intent on changing the mindset, saying last week that that teams won't want to play the Panthers because of their playing style. 'I'm right on board with him,' said Jaycee Horn, the Pro Bowl cornerback. 'That's just the mentality of how this team is gonna be branded. A physical football team where win, lose or draw, you know when you go in there and see the Panthers it's gonna be a physical football game and you're gonna be hurtin' afterwards.' The defense took a hit before stepping on the field last week when linebacker Josey Jewell was released after failing to clear the concussion protocol. Moving on from their second-leading tackler from 2024 wasn't the best way to kick off camp. But the loss of Jewell was offset somewhat by the return of defensive end Derrick Brown. Derrick Brown on Panthers' outlook for 2025: 'Don't doubt us.' — Joe Person (@josephperson) July 26, 2025 Brown was a Pro Bowler in 2023 when he finished with more tackles than any defensive lineman in NFL history. Brown's season-ending knee injury in Week 1 last year was an ominous sign for the defense. But the first-round pick from 2020 was back at practice Saturday and full of optimism after being a spectator for the final 16 games last year. Advertisement Asked about ending the playoff drought, Brown said: 'I'd say don't doubt us. There are a lot of hungry people out here. If that's what people want to say, that's one thing. But inside the building, everybody believes. And I think that's more dangerous.' Brown said he'll play with a chip on his shoulder after his lost season. Horn always plays with a chip, more so after the defensive debacle that was 2024. 'Even when we're out here having fun, talking trash, last year was last year,' Horn said. 'But we (were) still on the wrong side of history and we've gotta have that in the back of our mind every day and prep the right way so we can come back this year and put good stuff on tape.' Hunt, who made the playoffs his final two seasons in Miami, was critical last year of fans who wore bags over their heads during the Panthers' 0-2 start, which led to Young's benching. But Hunt watched the fan base warm up as Young bounced back with a strong second half that included close losses to the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles — last year's Super Bowl teams — and two wins over the final three games. He hopes it was the start of something. 'We won five games last year, which is not great by any means. But it felt like we were doing something great because the city's looking for it,' Hunt said. 'That vibe feels great. The team vibe feels great. I feel like the team feels that and we all want to be good.' (Top photo of Bryce Young: Scott Kinser / Imagn Images)
