Wide Receiver Brayden Robinson Commits To Notre Dame
Notre Dame has picked up another important player in its vaunted 2026 recruiting class with Red Oak (Texas) High School wide receiver Brayden Robinson pledging to the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame beat out Miami (Fla.) and Arizona to land this dynamic playmaker.

Robinson had a bit of an unexpected breakout in 2024. After catching 46 passes for 686 yards (14.9 YPC) and eight touchdowns as a sophomore while serving as a complementary weapon to veteran standout Taz Williams Jr. (Baylor signee), Robinson was thrust into a bigger role as a junior. Williams went down with a season-ending injury in game two and Robinson stepped up in a big, big way. He finished the season with 79 catches for 1,408 yards (17.8 YPC) and 15 touchdowns while emerging as one of the best pass catchers in the state of Texas.

At 5-9 and 160 pounds, Robinson doesn't have prototype size you want in an outside pass catcher but his game is outstanding. He is a legit burner whose 10.44 in the 100-meter dash translates onto the field. Robinson isn't just an after-the-catch weapon, he's also a good route runner with very good ball skills. Combine that with his speed and electric athletic skills and you understand why he was so dominant as a junior.
Robinson adds another explosive athlete to the Notre Dame wide receiver room that also includes fellow Texas star Kaydon Finley, dynamic Georgia receiver Bubba Frazier, Arizona pass catcher Devin Fitzgerald and two-sport star Dylan Faison out of Florida.

Robinson earned a four-star grade and a Top 250 prospect grade on the Irish Breakdown board. He is also a four-star recruit by Rivals, 247Sports and ESPN, with the latter ranking him as the nation's no. 293 overall player.
The Red Oak standout earned offers from Notre Dame, Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Oregon, Michigan, Penn State, Tennessee, Miami (Fla.), Ole Miss, Auburn, Nebraska, South Carolina, TCU, Arizona State, Arkansas, Missouri, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, SMU, Utah, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Baylor, Texas Tech, Arizona, Kansas, Houston, Stanford and California.

Ashton Jeanty has an injury scare after hard hit, but returns to game and scores TD
Ashton Jeanty had little production in a brief outing in his first NFL preseason game. Jeanty looked better in his second game, but also had a welcome to the NFL moment. Jeanty, who had 13 yards rushing on a pair of carries early in the Las Vegas Raiders' game Saturday against the San Francisco 49ers, caught a pass on his first drive, lowered his shoulder and got hit hard. Linebacker Luke Gifford gave Jeanty a hard hit, and although Jeanty got up quickly, he came out of the game and went to the medical tent to presumably have his shoulder lookd at. For those who have fantasy drafts coming up in the next couple weeks, seeing Jeanty suffer an injury was some alarming news. The good news was that Jeanty came out of the medical tent with his helmet and uniform on, and was back on the field on the next drive. And on his next drive he ran over a defender on a nice run. Jeanty looked fast and explosive. He also ran hard and initiated contact. He showed off his power on a touchdown run, keeping his legs moving at the goal line until he was in the end zone. That will be the first touchdown of many for him in a Raiders uniform. Jeanty was the sixth pick of the draft and one of the best running back prospects in many years. Seeing him go to the medical tent caused some skipped heartbeats, but he looked healthy. And for a few carries, looked every bit as good as advertised.

Zach Wilson and Quinn Ewers lead Dolphins to 24-17 preseason win over Lions
DETROIT (AP) — Backup quarterback Zach Wilson had a strong first half for the Dolphins and third-stringer Quinn Ewers threw for two second-half touchdowns as Miami beat the Detroit Lions 24-17 in the preseason on Saturday. The teams had a pair of joint practices earlier in the week. Both teams' starters participated in those workouts, but Saturday's game was all about the reserves who are trying to earn roster spots. Wilson, the Dolphins' No. 2 QB behind Tua Tagovailoa, completed 15 of 23 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown. Ewers went 11 of 17 for 116 yards. The Lions also took a long look at their second- and third-string quarterbacks with Jared Goff on the sideline. Kyle Allen impressed in the first half, going 14 for 17 with 124 yards and two scores. Hendon Hooker struggled in the final two quarters, completing 6 of 13 throws for 61 yards and an interception. Ollie Gordon II had 50 yards rushing for the Lions on 10 carries. Jacob Saylor had 13 carries for 39 yards. The Dolphins took a 7-0 lead on Wilson's 11-yard pass to Dee Eskridge late in the first quarter. Detroit tied the game midway through the second on Allen's 11-yard pass to Jackson Meeks. Miami drove to the Detroit 9 in the final two minutes of the first half, but Isaac Ukwu sacked Wilson on fourth-and-4. Isaac TeSlaa caught an 18-yard pass from Allen with 30 seconds left to give the Lions a 14-7 halftime lead. Ewers threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Theo Wease Jr. on his first drive to tie the game, but a fumbled punt led to a 33-yard field goal by Jake Bates and a 17-14 Lions lead. Ewers hit Wease for an 8-yard score to make it 21-17 with 12:22 to play, and Jason Sanders kicked a 21-yard field goal to make it a seven-point game with 1:53 left. The Lions drove to the Miami 13 in the last 30 seconds, but Ethan Robinson intercepted Hooker's pass with 22 seconds left. Up next Dolphins: Finish the preseason next Saturday, when they host Indianapolis. Lions: Host Houston next Saturday in their preseason finale. ___ AP NFL:
