Iowa football reflects upon Jay Higgins' impact, replacing star LB
During his comments from Big Ten media days, Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz spoke on the impact that former Hawkeye legend Jay Higgins has had on the current linebacker room. Higgins, who signed with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent after the 2025 NFL draft, is regarded as one of the program's most prolific linebackers, as his 341 career tackles rank him 14th all-time in Hawkeye football history. On Thursday, Ferentz was asked what type of impact Higgins has had on Iowa's current linebackers room. "We just talked about the changes in college athletics. Jay is a good, great illustration of what I talked about, us being a developmental program. To me, he's everything that's great about college athletics. He also played behind a really good linebacker, and we were all worrying a couple of years ago, 'What are we going to do to replace Jack Campbell?' The answer was Jay Higgins. Jay stepped in and did a great job. He's not a first-round draft pick physically, but he's a first-round college football player," Ferentz said. Ferentz added that Higgins' patience during his time at Iowa is commendable, as it has become commonplace for players to transfer out to other programs if starting roles are not guaranteed or given quickly. "His production exceeded Jack's, which is hard to do. His leadership level was every bit that of Jack. To me the greatest thing about Jay was instead of running to a different place because he was playing behind a really good player, he played behind him, he learned from Jack, and learned from other people. "When he got his opportunity, he really flourished. I think that's what's fun about collegiate athletics, to see a guy, a story like that and a person like Jay," Ferentz said. Iowa hopes it can duplicate that Higgins-type story with players such as Jaden Harrell and Karson Sharar. That duo has been in the program and bided their time behind Higgins and Nick Jackson. Higgins also had 17 games where he recorded at least 10 tackles, became the first to record at least 100 tackles in consecutive seasons since Jack Campbell in 2021-22 and his 171 total tackles in 2023 tied the school record for most in a single season. "He goes with the Ravens now. He didn't go in as a draft pick, but I wouldn't rule him out. I would never rule Jay out in anything he does. Tremendous human being, just a great guy," Ferentz said.

Nick Saban weighs in on President Donald Trump's executive order for college sports
The educational model that President Donald Trump is aiming for is a great step for college sports, says the former Alabama head coach. Questions regarding the regulation of Name, Image, and Likeness, transfer portal, and the split of resources between sports, have been a hot topic surrounding college athletics over recent years, which has sparked the debate of whether or not college athletics have turned into a professional model rather than an amateur one. This week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that will "protect student-athletes and collegiate athletic scholarships and opportunities, including in Olympic and non-revenue programs, and the unique American institution of college sports." In the fact sheet released by The White House, the executive order aims to expand scholarship opportunities for women's sports and non-revenue sports, prohibits third-party pay-for-play payments, and to preserve non-revenue sports and the irreplaceable educational and developmental opportunities that college sports provide. After the executive order was signed and released, former Alabama head coach Nick Saban shared his opinion on the matter on the show Fox and Friends on FOX News, where he said that Trump's order aligns with what he thinks college sports should be, which promotes an educational model for student-athletes during their time as a student, as well as their time as a college graduate. "The executive order provides a huge step in providing the educational model that has always been what we've sort of tried to promote to create opportunities for players, male and female alike, revenue and non-revenue, so that they can have development as people, students and develop careers and develop professionally if that's what they choose to do." Saban also mentioned that this order will soon answer the question of a university wanting to promote and educational model compared to a professional one. The topic of revenue sharing has made its way to Auburn, as head football coach Hugh Freeze and athletic director John Cohen have publicly stated that they are eager to learn more information about the new model and how it affects recruiting. Auburn football has seen a dip in recruiting, which Freeze and Cohen feel is the result of the uncertainty of the penalties established with breaking rules. "We at Auburn are going to take that very seriously. But we're still going to win recruiting battles. We're going to do it the right way," Cohen said earlier this month. "I can't speak for the rest of the recruiting world, but I can tell you this, Auburn is going to do it the right way." The new order will present new opportunities for collegiate athletes everywhere, and it will be interesting to see how it affects Auburn athletes in the future.

The Texas A&M football roster is officially locked in for the 2025 season. All player measurements and jersey numbers have been updated on the team's website, offering fans a clearer look at who will take the field this fall. It's been a chaotic offseason for the Aggies starting with the house settlement being approved, which sparked a wave of new lawsuits. The summer also saw a whirlwind of recruiting action, including the high-profile commitment and eventual decommitment of Micah Hudson. On the lighter side, several football and softball players took part in a crowd-pleasing 'Celebrity Softball Game,' giving fans a fun break from the intensity of the offseason. Now, with the season opener just a month away, attention turns toward on-field preparation. In about a week, the Aggie football team will begin gearing up for their August 30 showdown against UTSA at Kyle Field. Among all scholarship players—including incoming freshmen and transfers—only Jerome Myles didn't report early, joining the squad in June.
