Oklahoma Sooners earn commitment from 2026 defensive back Niko Jandreau
In an interview with Parker Thune of OUInsider and Rivals, Jandreau said, "Out of all the places I went, there wasn't a place like OU.'

Though just a three-star prospect, it's easy to see what the Sooners love about Jandreau's game. He's a force in the secondary. He attacks ball carriers and arrives with force. He has great knockback and doesn't allow the ball carrier to get away from him. Jandreau does a great job reacting to what he sees and playing fast to the football. He's adept at playing along the line of scrimmage but is really good in coverage as well. He has the quickness and agility to mirror receivers out of the slot and can play single-high safety. Jandreau's a versatile piece for Brent Venables' defense that could be deployed at safety or cheetah.
Jandreau is the first commitment for the Oklahoma Sooners since four-star wide receiver Daniel Odom pledged to OU back in January. It's another strong win for Brandon Hall on the recruiting trail, who has made Oklahoma's safety room into arguably the deepest position on the team. When the team adds Jandreau in the 2026 recruiting class, they'll get another fast and physical safety.

Big Ten reportedly floating radical new College Football Playoff idea
The future of the College Football Playoff has been a key topic of discussion all offseason. ESPN secured a six-year, $7.8 billion contract that ensures the network will remain the sole media rights holder of the event through the 2031-32 season in March of 2024. But, whether or not the CFP stays at a 12-team model or expands has been one of the hot button issues of college football. After plenty of back-and-forth and a spring and summer full of discussion and disagreements, the Big Ten has suddenly introduced a radical new idea for the CFP's future. According to Pete Thamel of ESPN, the Big Ten has floated the idea of massive expansion to the College Football Playoff that could bring the postseason field to 24 or 28 teams. While Thamel reports that the idea is in its very early stages, the proposal eliminates conference title games and offers a large number of auto bids for all four power leagues, sources said. In the proposed 28-team CFP model, the Big Ten and SEC would each get seven auto bids while the ACC and Big 12 would each receive five. There would be two auto bids for the non-Power 4 conferences and two at-large teams. The 28-team format would put 20 playoff games on campus, which would accentuate the success of that from last year's CFP. The CFP Committee would seed the field and pick the at-large teams. Per Thamel, Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti ran the idea by his conference Wednesday, sources said, and that it has begun being shared by others. In order to expand the playoff before the 2026 season, the expectation is that leaders need to reach a resolution before the end of this year. Momentum for a 16-team CFP format picked up steam throughout the spring, but leaders throughout college athletics haven't seen eye to eye on exactly how bids to a 16-team CFP would be awarded. The 5+11 model is supported by both the Big 12 and the ACC and it gained more support from the SEC after the league's spring meetings. The 5+11 model would include the five highest-ranked conference champions and 11 at-large bids. Another 16-team CFP model featured the Big Ten and SEC each receiving four automatic bids, the ACC and Big 12 receiving a pair of automatic qualifiers, one bid to the Group of 6 champion and then three at-large bids.

Top Three Positional Battles to Watch during Washington Commanders Preseason
With preseason action in full swing across the NFL, the Washington Commanders have officially opened the doors in Ashburn with expectations a bit more lofty after an NFC Championship appearance propelled by the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, QB Jayden Daniels. Today, we analyze the three most important positional battles for Washington this summer as the regular season is right around the corner. Starting CB2: Trey Amos vs. Jonathan Jones The Commanders were very fortunate in the second round of this past NFL Draft when Ole Miss CB Trey Amos fell into their lap with the 61st overall pick. Amos was projected by many draft analysts to be a fringe first round selection, but a back injury suffered during the pre-draft process forced teams to be wary of the First-Team All-SEC talent. Washington made it a clear priority during the offseason to address the defensive backs room, as the team also brought in veteran CB Jonathan Jones, who spent the first nine years of his career with the New England Patriots, where he won two Super Bowl rings. As a 31-year old, Jones brings 132 games of experience and a championship-pedigree which is valuable at such a volatile position. Expect Jones to become a key mentor for the younger guys, including Amos. Amos has received glowing reviews through two+ weeks of training camp, which has remained constant since Trey stepped on the field for rookie mini-camp in the spring. While the team also brought back Noah Igbinoghene, who started 10 games in 2024, it appears to be more of a depth signing for the upcoming season (barring any injuries). Since the start of training camp, Amos continues to run with the first-team defense and is in line to start week one opposite of Marshon Lattimore, and with Mike Sainristil back in the slot. Third-String RB: Croskey-Merritt vs. McNichols vs. Rodriguez Throughout camp, there's been one name that continues to pop up on a daily basis from beat reporters on the scene in Ashburn. Bill. Perhaps better known as Jacory Croskey-Merritt, the New Mexico/Arizona product is taking Commanders nation by storm after being selected in the 7th round by Washington in April. Bill is making a name for himself, noticeably for his one-cut style of running the ball in between the tackles. In week one of preseason, JCM finished with 7 rushes for 24 yards, along with an eight-yard reception. While the numbers may not blow you away, the confidence and physicality he played with were certainly positive signs heading into another week of preseason. Jeremy McNichols is the most versatile running back in the room for Washington, which potentially makes him one of the most difficult cut options for the team. Last season McNichols had a career year, finishing with career highs in rushing yards (261) and touchdowns (5) as the third option. He is also one of the best pass-protection running backs in the entire league, a coveted trait. Chris Rodriguez Jr. is someone the team may once again eye for the practice squad. Rodriguez presents a different element than the aforementioned two backs, with a rare blend of power and balance that makes him so compelling. Third-String QB: Sam Hartman vs. Josh Johnson Sam Hartman returns for his second season after spending nearly the entire 2024 season on the Commanders' practice squad. Hartman, who is very close with Jayden Daniels, started last week's game against New England where he finished 9/19 for 64 yards and an interception. The numbers are not great, or even good, but they do not tell the entire story as Chris Moore and KJ Osborn both dropped a pair of passes, including two deep passes along the sidelines. Meanwhile, Josh Johnson (39 years old) has made his return to the nation's capital after a brief tenure in 2018, where he won his first career game as a starter. Johnson took over for Hartman last week, and he finished the game 15/22 for 173 yards, along with a touchdown and an interception. Final Thoughts In all honesty, the Commanders have most of their roster situated after a haul of players re-signed this offseason, including Marcus Mariota, Zach Ertz, Bobby Wagner, Noah Brown, and John Bates. They all play vital roles to the team, and provide mentorship for their eventual replacements The outcome of the three highlighted positional battles should have a linear effect on how the roster is built moving forward under this regime, but things can always change as the season approaches and other rosters around the league are trimmed.

Commanders activate Terry McLaurin off PUP list, All-Pro receiver's contract situation still up in the air
The Washington Commanders announced Saturday that they have activated All-Pro wide receiver Terry McLaurin off the physically unable to perform list. The move is unrelated to McLaurin's contract negotiations, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. And, so, although McLaurin is making progress in his return from an ankle injury that bothered him late last season, his contract situation is still up in the air. The Commanders star wideout is in the third year of a three-year, $68.4 million contract with an average annual salary (AAV) of $22.8 million. He skipped spring practices and mandatory minicamp and then held out the first week of training camp before reporting as a hold-in. The seventh-year receiver was fined $200,000 for his four-day holdout. McLaurin, who turns 30 in September, is looking for a new deal that reflects a surging wide receiver market and his WR1 value in a Commanders offense led by now-second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels. More specifically, McLaurin is targeting the $33 million AAV the Pittsburgh Steelers are now paying DK Metcalf, ESPN's John Keim reported Saturday. It's important to note, though, that Metcalf is 27. And as Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson pointed out, only two wide receivers in league history have signed contracts the year they were 30 or turning 30 that earned them more than $23 million annually: Tyreek Hill in 2024 with the Miami Dolphins ($30 million AAV) and Davante Adams ($28 million) with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022. McLaurin has been vocal this offseason about his desire to continue his career in Washington. He did, however, request a trade on July 31 as contract frustrations boiled over. McLaurin, now a two-time Pro Bowler, ranked second in the NFL last season with a career-best 13 touchdown catches. He also led the league with 24 contested catches during the regular season, according to Pro Football Focus. While spilling over 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth year in a row, McLaurin made 82 grabs, at least 37 more than every other Washington wideout during Daniels' NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year campaign in 2024. Now that McLaurin's activated off the Commanders' PUP list, he's eligible to practice. That said, his return will likely begin with work off to the side with athletic trainers.
