Texas A&M will host 2026 5-star Edge for an official visit next month
One of the elite defensive prospects in the 2026 recruiting class has Texas A&M atop his list of future destinations. Five-star edge Tristian Givens, who received a prediction to land with the Aggies earlier this month, has reportedly set his official visit with the Aggies.
According to Gigem247's Anderew Hattersley, coach Mike Elko and his staff will host Givens for an official visit on June 20-22, which will serve as his final OV of the summer after visiting Tennessee on June 13. This is excellent news for the Aggies, who are not only predicted to land the elite pass rusher but have dominated the Georgia recruiting landscape after landing four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory and four-star edge Jordan Carter from the Peach State.
Given's recent interview with 247Sports' Ryan Callahan revealed that he is looking to make his college decision towards the end of June, as the Aggies will be the final school hosting the standout defender. Between Florida State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M, Givens has a tough decision to make, while his future visits will make his decision much easier.
During his last two seasons at Carver High School, Givens recorded 30 sacks, including 18 during his 2023 sophomore season.
According to 247Sports, Givens is the 23rd-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the third-ranked edge prospect, and the fourth-ranked prospect in Georgia.

Auburn basketball 2026 targets Caleb Holt and Anthony Thompson in ESPN top 25 ranking
There is a time for Auburn basketball that it was a dream to have a top 25 prospect want to come to their school. Now it is the expectation. A decade into his tenure as Auburn head coach, it is still astonishing at what Bruce Pearl has turned the basketball program into. Two players the Tigers are interested in adding to the program in 2026 are five-star Caleb Holt and Anthony Thompson. Recently, Paul Biancardi of ESPN ranked the top 25 high school basketball players. His ranking is not just limited to the 2026 recruiting class but all of high school basketball. Holt is the highest-ranking Auburn target on the list. The small forward is ranked No. 6. According to Biancardi, Holt uses speed and quickness on both sides of the court. He is a more skilled defensive player but is improving on offense. Holt is rated as the top player in Florida and the No. 6 player nationally according to 247Sports. Thompson, another small forward, comes in at No. 17 in the ranking. ESPN projects him at No. 13 in their 2026 ESPN 100 ranking. Thompson is ranked at No. 10 by 247Sports and the No. 1 player in Ohio. His height is 6-8 but his wingspan is much longer. With his shooting ability from the three-point line he could draw comparisons to Jabari Smith.

Oklahoma Sooners earn commitment from ESPN 4-star 2026 defensive lineman
The Oklahoma Sooners scored a big win on the recruiting trail earlier this week, earning a commitment from 2026 five-star edge rusher Jake Kreul. Just days later, the Sooners added another defensive line prospect in the 2026 recruiting class, James Carrington. Carrington is an ESPN four-star prospect in the cycle and has a significant offer sheet from across the college football landscape. Just a couple of days ago, Carrington decommitted from Florida State, and the expectation was that he would commit to Oklahoma. Steve Wiltfong of Rivals issued a futurecast favoring the Oklahoma Sooners shortly after he decommitted from the Seminoles. Carrington chose the Sooners over 25 Power Four offers, including nine SEC offers from schools like Alabama, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma. He's the No. 33 defensive line prospect in the nation and the No. 30 player in the state of California. The Sooners currently have the No. 21 class in the 2026 recruiting cycle after this week's commitments. Defensive tackles coach Todd Bates and defensive ends coach Miguel Chavis have built a strong defensive line recruiting class with commitments from Brian Harris, Matthew Nelson, Daniel Norman, Jake Kreul, and now James Carrington. Carrington is the 17th player pledged to Oklahoma's 2026 recruiting class.

The Big Ten could be proposing a massive expansion to the College Football Playoff
Sources: The Big Ten has begun populating an expanded College Football Playoff idea, which could include 24 or 28 teams. Just an idea at this point. While we just finished the first season of a 12-team College Football Playoff, where Notre Dame went to the championship game, the Big Ten is starting to have ideas of a bigger expansion. There has already been chatter of expanding the field to 16-teams, with the Big Ten and SEC being the main benefactors of that move. On Saturday, the conference looks like they might be laying the groundwork for an even bigger expansion, either 24 for 28 teams reports ESPN's Pete Thamel. The potential proposal would see the elimination of conference title games, giving more automatic bids to power conferences, and just two at-large bids. This clearly would not be the best case for the Irish, as both the Big Ten and SEC would have 7 bids, with the ACC and Big 12 each getting five. It would have the Group of Five teams getting an extra bid as well, but it might not make a difference at all of Notre Dame continues to stay inside the top-25 teams. It's hard to imagine that won't happen, especially considering how well the program has done since Marcus Freeman took over. Personally, I hate this idea, as there aren't typically more than six teams that can realistically win a title. It also waters down an already watered down bowl season, where if you aren't in the CFP, it's almost as if it doesn't matter. I'm still in the camp that eight teams is enough, and while this past season was extremely exciting, it was drawn out too long. Imagine if this did pass how much longer the playoff would be, even with eliminating conference championship games. Another aspect of this that I don't like, its great to see the top two teams in each conference battle it. Hopefully this is just talk, as I don't think this move would be good for college football.
