Nebraska offers scholarship to top tight end
The Nebraska Cornhuskers have extended a scholarship offer to one of the top tight ends in the class of 2027. Four-star prospect Anthony Cartwright III made the announcement on social media.
Rivals has Cartwright as the No. 3-ranked prospect in the state of Michigan and the No. 6-ranked tight end in the class of 2027. Nebraska is the latest school to offer a scholarship, with the Michigan Wolverines viewed as the frontrunners.
The Huskers' offer comes after Cartwright made several campus visits in the month of April. He made a Big Ten swing by visiting the Wolverines on April 3, the Ohio State Buckeyes on April 11, the Oregon Ducks on April 19, and the Penn State Nittany Lions on April 26.
Nebraska is redefining the role of the tight end in its offense under offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen. If the Huskers are able to show increased production with strong player development under Holgorsen and tight ends coach Marcus Satterfield, they could find themselves in the center of Cartwright's recruitment sooner rather than later.

MSU target, 3-star DL Jermaine Polk commits to Rutgers following official visit
MSU target, 3-star DL Jermaine Polk commits to Rutgers following official visit One of the defensive lineman Michigan State is targeting in the 2026 class is off the board and heading to another Big Ten school. Jermaine Polk of Toledo, Ohio announced his commitment to Rutgers on Sunday afternoon. Polk took an official visit to Rutgers this weekend, which ultimately led to the Scarlet Knights sealing the deal with his commitment. Michigan State was one of five schools recently named a finalist for Polk, which didn't include Rutgers. Michigan State, Boston College, Iowa, Iowa State and Wisconsin were the five schools Polk named as his finalists in late May, but an offer from Rutgers this past week quickly changed his recruiting landscape, with the Scarlet Knights working fast to get him on campus and committed. Polk is a three-star prospect and ranks as the No. 73 defensive lineman in 247Sports' rankings for the 2026 class. He holds a recruiting rating of 88 on 247Sports as well. Michigan State landed their own defensive lineman prospect in the 2026 class, with Christopher Knauls Jr. committing to the Spartans following his official visit. So that commitment from Knauls eases the blow of Rutgers beating out Michigan State for Polk.

Tennessee Football Gets Good News on Coveted Running Back
Tennessee Football Gets Good News on Coveted Running Back originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Then there were two. On3's Steve Wiltfong reported last week that that's the situation with five-star running back Savion Hiter. Advertisement 'I still think it's Michigan and Tennessee when all said and done,' Wiltfong said during his Whiparound show on June 2. 'Those are the programs I'm watching the most right now. "I think they're the programs that will take that recruitment up another level from an NIL standpoint if they have to in order to land one of the most coveted players on their board, respectively.' In addition to the Tennessee Volunteers and Michigan Wolverines, the Ohio State Buckeyes and Georgia Bulldogs are in Hiter's top four schools. Tennessee Volunteers football head coach Josh Heupel© Joseph Maiorana-Imagn Images The running back plans to see all four programs on official visits. But according to Wiltfong, the two visits to closely monitor are to Michigan and Tennessee. Advertisement Hiter, though, pushed back on Wiltfong's report that he is down to only two schools. "Where does this stuff come from when I've done 0 interviews," Hiter posted as a quote tweet to a Wiltfong video on X. Hiter will see the Wolverines first of his presumed "final two" during the weekend of June 13. The running back will then visit Knoxville, Tennessee the following weekend -- June 20. Wiltfong reported both Tennessee and Michigan have Hiter very high on their priority lists. 'I think Savion Hiter is the number one player overall on Michigan's board,' added Wiltfong. Hiter is the No. 1 running back and top Virginia prospect in the 2026 recruiting class according to the 247 Sports composite rankings. The running back is also the No. 17 overall recruit in the class.

Texas A&M will retain key assistant on HC Bucky McMillan's 2025 staff
Texas A&M will retain key assistant on HC Bucky McMillan's 2025 staff Bucky McMillan has officially retained Assistant Director of Operations Shane Sinon per release. Served as Buzz Williams' assistant, and did a lot of the day-to-day tasks for the head coach as well as assistant in traveling and inventory for the Aggies. — Jaxson Callaway (AT) (@AggiesToday) June 9, 2025 New Texas A&M basketball head coach Bucky McMillan has assembled his 2025 coaching staff this offseason, adding five veteran coaches, led by Mitch Cole, Kyle Keller, and TJ Cleveland, who all bring a blend of experience and recruiting expertise to the 2025 roster. While most of the former head coach Buzz Williams' 2024 coaching staff is expected to join Maryland, one key assistant will reportedly stay in College Station under McMillan. According to Texas A&M's media team, Shane Sinon, one of the lesser-known names on the coaching staff, who served as a graduate assistant under Williams last season, will now serve as McMillan's Assistant Director of Operations. According to Jaxson Callaway (AggiesToday), Sinon served as Buzz Williams' day-to-day assistant, also assisting in traveling and inventory for the program last season. Sinon appears to be a rising star in the coaching ranks and will serve under current Director of Operations Warren Fitzpatrick, assisting with team operations that include recruiting, finances, and media-based situations. This will likely finish out Texas A&M's 2025 basketball staff, which Bucky McMillan will rely on during his inaugural season and beyond. Again, while Sinon is now a well-known name, it's the lesser-known assistants who are putting in the work behind the scenes.
