Texas has been busy getting news of their players being placed on different award watchlists and preseason All-American teams. Jack Endries has been at the center of that on both fronts, especially in the last couple of days. Endries has been placed on two major award watchlists as we head into the season, the Biletnikoff and Mackey Award watchlists.

The Biletnikoff is given out every year to the best pass catcher in the country(yes, TEs can win it, it's just very unlikely), while the Mackey is exclusively for the best TE in the country. Endries being on these lists is not too much of a surprise, but another great sign for the transfer from Cal. He has a 600+ yard season and a 400+ yard season to his name, and it's not far-fetched to think the best football is still ahead of him.
Obviously, it is fair to say the Mackey Award is much more in reach for Endries this year, and I would say he's one of the favorites there. His 1,030 career receiving yards lead returning TEs in the country and heading into the TE-friendly Texas offense, it's not crazy to think he'll top his past marks this year. Endries is one of my favorite pieces that Texas added this offseason and it's being noticed by the national awards.
Semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award will be announced on Nov. 25, and a final vote to determine the winner will take place from Nov. 25-Dec. 6. The winner will be announced on Dec. 12 as part of the Home Depot College Football Awards on ESPN. If Endries was able to win the Biletnikoff, it would be Texas' first of all-time.
For the Mackey Award, The recipient of the award will be presented at the Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Friday, Dec. 12, on ESPN. We will see if a Longhorn can take home the Mackey Award for the first time ever as well.

Astros hold off Red Sox rally for 7-6 win, Urías and McCormick homer
HOUSTON (AP) — Ramón Urías had three hits with a two-run homer and Chas McCormick hit his first homer this season as the Houston Astros built a big lead and held on for a 7-6 win over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night. Carlos Correa hit an RBI single to help the Astros to the victory after they were swept in Boston to start the month. It was his first home game since rejoining the team in a blockbuster trade from the Twins. Houston starter Cristian Javier (1-0) had a solid outing in his return after sitting out more than 14 months following Tommy John surgery. He allowed two hits and two runs in the first inning before settling down and giving up just one single over the next four innings. Alex Bregman's two-run home run in the first inning gave Boston an early lead in his first game in Houston since leaving the Astros this offseason. Houston scored three runs in the third to take the lead and got a two-run shot from McCormick in the fourth and a two-run homer from Urías in the fifth to make it 7-2. But the Red Sox scored four runs with two outs in the seventh inning, highlighted by home runs from Abraham Toro and Roman Anthony, to get within 1. Bregman singled after that, but Jarren Duran grounded out to end the inning. Connor Wong doubled off Enyel De Los Santos with two outs in the ninth inning and Bennett Sousa took over and struck out Anthony to end it and collect his fourth save. Boston's Garrett Crochet (13-5) yielded seven hits and tied a season-high with five runs in a season-low four innings to snap a nine-game winning streak and give him his first loss since May 26. Urías, who was acquired from Baltimore at the deadline, finished a triple shy of the cycle to tie a season high in hits. Key moment Sousa's strikeout of Anthony in the ninth. Key stat McCormick's home run was his first since Aug. 28. Up next Houston RHP Spencer Arrighetti (1-2, 7.43 ERA) opposes RHP Dustin May (6-8, 4.93) when the series continues Tuesday night. ___ AP MLB:

Alex Bregman gets standing ovation, hits HR in first at-bat in his return to Houston, but Astros rally to top Red Sox
This is how you do a homecoming. Alex Bregman returned to Houston on Monday for the first time since he left the Astros last offseason to join the Boston Red Sox as a free agent. Bregman received a warm welcome from an appreciative Houston crowd. He then proceeded to hit a home run in his first at-bat of the game. The blast gave Boston a 2-0 lead, but Houston rallied for a 7-6 win. Warm reception for Bregman Bregman was greeted with a tribute video on the big board featuring a montage of his Houston highlights. Fans in the stands welcomed him with a standing ovation, and he stepped out of the Boston dugout to tip his cap, showing no hard feelings over his decision to leave Houston for the Red Sox. Then came time for baseball. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Bregman came to the plate in the top of the first inning with no outs and a runner on first base after Roman Anthony led the game off with a single off Astros starter Cristian Javier. Bregman then got the best of his former World Series champion teammate, launching a 1-1 sweeper that hung over the plate into the left-field bleachers. The home run gave the Astros an early 2-0 lead in Bregman's first career at-bat while wearing something other than an Astros uniform in Houston. It also signaled a tough start on the mound for Javier, who was making his first MLB appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2024. But it wasn't enough for a Red Sox win as the Astros countered with a pair of two-run home runs from Chas McCormick and Ramón Urías en route to a 7-2 lead through five innings. Boston answered with a four-run seventh inning capped by a two-run home run from Anthony. But Houston held on for the one-run win. Bregman's had a strong Red Sox debut Bregman previously played nine seasons with the Astros and was one of the faces of a franchise, winning two World Series titles during his tenure. He was named to two All-Star teams, won a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger, and received MVP votes in four seasons during his time with the Astros. Bregman joined the Red Sox on a three-year, $120 million contract in the offseason as Boston sought to raise its profile as a competitor in the AL playoff race. So far, he has delivered. Bregman entered Monday with the highest batting average of his career, slashing .298/.380/.531. His two-run blast off Javier put him at 15 home runs and 48 RBI for the season. He was named an All-Star in July for the third time in his career. The Red Sox, meanwhile, left Monday's game with a 2.5-game cushion for the second of three AL wild-card spots. A postseason matchup with the Astros — who left Monday's game with a one-game lead over the Seattle Mariners in the AL West — is potentially in store.
