Texas A&M will host the No. 1-ranked 2026 prospect in Iowa this week
Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class is expected to continue growing this summer, heading into the 2025 season. As we've already witnessed under head coach Mike Elko, recruiting the entire country has not been an issue, with the team dominating the East and West Coasts, similar to former head coach Jimbo Fisher.
This month, Texas A&M will host a wide range of elite 2026 prospects, which now includes four-star tight end Evan Jacobson out of Waukee, Iowa. Standing at 6'7" and 200 pounds, Jacobson is already an elite red zone target who thrives in the seam, possessing enough speed and twitch to outmaneuver smaller defenders.
Playing in a run-heavy offense, which is very common in Iowa, Jacobson has been Waukee's most reliable receiving target throughout his starting career, thriving in the short game. At the same time, his size advantage has made him a sneaky deep threat.
Like many tight end prospects, Jacobson will improve as a route runner once he enters a collegiate program. In Texas A&M OC Collin Klein's tight end-centric scheme, he could turn into one of the better SEC tight ends going into his second or third season.
According to the man himself, Jacobson will head to College Station on Thursday, June 5, and spend the weekend with the Aggies for his first official visit.
According to 247Sports, Evan Jacobson is currently positioned as the 175th-ranked prospect in the class, the 11th-ranked tight end, and the No. 1-ranked prospect in Iowa.

UNC football announces start times to key games
The anticipation is building for North Carolina's 2025 football season, the first under new head coach Bill Belichick. With spring practices over and a lot of activity in the transfer portal, Belichick has a good view of his roster as it stands now. We also know the schedule already for the Tar Heels as kickoff is just a few months away. But now, we are getting more information on games this season. Advertisement On Thursday, the program announced the start time for four more games this season: Week 2: AT Charlotte, 7 p.m. ET (Sept. 6) Week 3: vs. Richmond, 3:30 p.m. ET (Sept. 13) Week 8: AT CAL, 10:30 p.m. ET (Oct. 17) Week 10: AT Syracuse, 7:30 p.m. ET (Oct. 31) The games against Cal and Syracuse are scheduled to be broadcasted live on ESPN, while the Charlotte game will be on ESPN+ and the Richmond game on ACC Network. With Belichick being the new head coach, there is a lot of attention on North Carolina so the addition of two more primetime games isn't shocking. And they will likely have more. As we knew before, UNC will start the season in primetime against TCU, hosting the Horned Frogs on Labor Day at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. The rest of the kickoff times for games will be announced at a later date.

Aaron Rodgers signing causes outraged Steelers fan to burn signed jersey
Aaron Rodgers signing causes outraged Steelers fan to burn signed jersey To say the Aaron Rodgers signing has polarized the Steelers fan base would be an understatement — as one Pittsburgh fan took their anger to new lengths. A crazed Steelers fan wasn't just seeing red once the Rodgers news broke — he was seeing flames — as the bewildered Pittsburgh supporter set his signed Minkah Fitzpatrick jersey on fire to protest the move. Here's what the outraged fan had to say in the now-viral video — courtesy of SteelCityReece and Blitzburgh: 'Well, today, June 5, 2025, I'll never be a Steelers fan again. Autographed Minkah [Fitzpatrick] jersey — I'm burning all my Steelers stuff. Yinz decide to pick up Aaron Rodgers — I can't do this anymore. You kill us. You keep killing us. You let go of George Pickens, you know what I mean? You let go of Justin Fields, he had potential to be something. It's just — it's crazy. It's sad. Again, today is my last day being a Steelers fan. So, thank you [to the Rooney family]. Thank you [Mike] Tomlin. He really did it. Bye bye.' There were a small number of fans who claimed they'd stop supporting the Steelers if Rodgers signed — but this was a clear overreaction on his part.

Oregon WR Evan Stewart could miss 2025 season after suffering knee injury
Evan Stewart transferred to Oregon from Texas A&M ahead of the 2024 season. (Photo by Robin Alam/) Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart could miss part or all of the 2025 season after suffering a knee injury earlier in the week. Per ESPN, the injury is 'potentially season-ending.' According to On3, Stewart tore his patellar tendon. Advertisement Stewart was set to be Oregon's top returning receiver for the 2025 season. He was Oregon's second-leading receiver in 2024 with 48 catches for 613 yards and five touchdowns. Only Tez Johnson had more catches than Stewart, who missed the Ducks' Rose Bowl loss to Ohio State because of a lower back injury. Stewart is a former five-star recruit who signed with the Aggies out of high school. He was the No. 33 prospect in the country and the No. 4 wide receiver in his class behind 2025 NFL draft picks Luther Burden III and Tetairoa McMillan and LSU wide receiver Aaron Anderson. The 2024 season was Stewart's first with the Ducks after two seasons with the Aggies. He had 91 catches for 1,163 yards and six TDs over 18 games at A&M. If Stewart is out for the season, the Ducks will need to replace both Johnson and Stewart at wide receiver along with TE Terrance Ferguson. Oregon will also have a new quarterback after Dillon Gabriel was drafted by the Cleveland Browns and former UCLA QB Dante Moore presumably takes over as the starter. Oregon went 13-0 in the regular season and won the Big Ten title before losing to the Buckeyes in the College Football Playoff.
