4-star QB Teddy Jarrard visiting Georgia football again
The Georgia Bulldogs and coach Kirby Smart are set to receive the first official visit on June 1 from four-star quarterback Teddy Jarrard. The Bulldogs recently offered a scholarship to Jarrard, who is a member of the class of 2027, on May 17.
Georgia is one of eight programs that Jarrard has lined up to visit this June. He also plans to check out Clemson, Notre Dame, Penn State, Arkansas, Michigan, Ohio State and LSU.

The rising junior is ranked as the No. 214 recruit in the country and the No. 15 quarterback per the 247Sports Composite. He is the No. 29 prospect in Georgia. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound quarterback has really built up some recruiting momentum recently and could continue to rise in the rankings.

Georgia is currently without any commitments in the class of 2027. However, the Bulldogs do have a commitment from five-star quarterback Jared Curtis, who figures to be Georgia's quarterback of the future. Curtis is a member of the class of 2026.
Jarrard plays high school football for North Cobb High School in Kennesaw, Georgia. He already visited Georgia in May, so him returning for another visit is a very good sign for the Bulldogs. Jarrard is the second-ranked quarterback in the Peach State in the class of 2027.

Last season, Jarrard earned offensive player of the year honors with North Cobb. He accumulated 2,783 passing yards and 34 passing touchdowns in 2024. He also completed an impressive 72% of his passes. Jarrard helped North Cobb go 11-2 and advance to the second round of the 6A high school football playoffs in Georgia.

Notre Dame football's top-5 offensive players entering the 2025 season
Long gone are the days where Notre Dame football's offense has been in question, as the Irish showed last year they can score with the best in the country. The Mike Denbrock-led offense scored 36.1 points-per-game last year, good for No. 10 nationally, and while they did lose some weapons, most notably quarterback Riley Leonard, there is plenty of returning talent that will carry this unit. Advertisement While the season is still a few months away, we are getting plenty of new information about the direction of the team and what to expect from the Irish in 2025. Find out below my top-5 offensive players for Notre Dame this fall as of early June. No. 5 - Quarterback CJ Carr There has yet to be a decision between Carr and Kenny Minchey, but you have to expect that Freeman will go with the higher upside player considering they both have virtually no playing experience. Carr was the No. 68 overall recruit in his class in the 247Sports Composite, while Minchey was No. 170 in the next cycle. Both are more than capable of running the Irish offense, but at this point with Steve Angeli no longer with the program, Carr is the frontrunner in my opinion. No. 4 - Wide receiver Jaden Greathouse The breakout is coming, especially after Greathouse showed the nation in the last two games of the College Football Playoff that he's a gamebreaking talent. He accounted for 13 receptions for 223-yards and three touchdowns, as he torched both Penn State and Ohio State. While the quarterback position is still a question mark, we know that Greathouse can make plays. Notre Dame will play him more in the slot, creating mismatches for him to exploit due to a player later on this list. No. 3 - Running back Jadarian Price Price was second on the team in rushing attempts last year, and averaged 6.2 yards-per-carry, which was just behind the team leaders. He scored seven times as well, and looks to be ready to take the next step this fall. While he will share carries with a player later on this list, Price still seems poised to top last year's impressive numbers. No. 2 - Wide receiver Malachi Fields While Fields wasn't able to practice with the Irish during the spring due to transfer rules, he's going to be a difference-maker this fall. Over the last two years he's caught at least 55 receptions, which would have been first on last year's Notre Dame team. His five touchdowns would have been first, as well as his 808 receiving yards. No Irish receiver has topped those marks since Kevin Austin in 2021, and there's not doubt in my mind that Fields is a much better player. No. 1 - Running back Jeremiyah Love This was an easy choice, as it should be. Love is one of the best players nationally, is getting plenty of pre-season love and could end up in New York after the season concludes. Coming off a year with 1,125 rushing yards with 17 touchdowns to go along with 237 receiving yards and another two scores, the Heisman talk is legit. As long as Love stays healthy, he's one of the best players in the nation. This article originally appeared on Fighting Irish Wire: Predicting Notre Dame's top-5 offensive players of 2025

If SEC wants more College Football Playoff respect, it's time to dump cupcake games
If SEC wants more College Football Playoff respect, it's time to dump cupcake games Show Caption Hide Caption Kirby Smart on college football's future Kirby Smart urges leaders to prioritize the game's future over personal or conference agendas in playoff talks. The SEC keeps finding new reasons to not add a ninth conference game to its football schedule. Throughout the four-team College Football Playoff era, the SEC ruled that postseason format, so it found insufficient incentive to add another conference game. When the scheduling debate resurfaced two years ago, some SEC members expressed reluctance to add another conference game without additional compensation from its media partner. ESPN didn't sweeten the pot. The SEC stayed at eight. The latest excuse? Many SEC coaches feel loath to welcome a ninth conference game without first knowing the College Football Playoff format for 2026 and beyond. What's next, no ninth SEC game until there's peace in the Middle East? I'm losing my appetite for this eight-or-nine debate. The number should be 10 – as in, every power-conference team should play a minimum of 10 games against Power Four opponents. MAN WITH PLAN: Lane Kiffin pushes promising 16-team playoff model BIG DECISION: SEC's Greg Sankey can be hero or villain in playoff debate SEC craves more CFP respect while playing cupcake games The SEC routinely insists it should gain preference from the playoff selection committee because of its run of national championship dominance the past 20 years, plus its strength of schedule. I won't argue that the SEC often boasts the strongest top-to-bottom conference. The SEC's pandering to the playoff committee, though, plays weak considering how the conference structures its schedule. Teams only play half the other members of their 16-team conference, and most only play one Power Four non-conference opponent, while supplementing the schedule with a few layup games. In this era of the ever-expanding playoff, it is time for the SEC to curtail its feast of cupcake games. Either stay at eight conference games, or go to nine – so long as it adds up to 10 games against real competition. Power Four teams playing more games against legitimate opponents – and fewer games against directional schools – would provide clarity to the playoff's at-large selection process. Alabama, Florida and South Carolina will play 10 regular-season games against Power Four opponents. The SEC's other teams will play eight or nine games against power foes. By comparison, TCU and Baylor will play a nation-leading 11 games against Power Four competition. Let's not spare the ACC, either. The ACC joins the SEC in playing eight conference games, while their Big Ten and Big 12 peers play nine. Most ACC schools, at least, will play 10 games against power-conference opponents, if you include Notre Dame as a power foe. Alternative to a ninth SEC game? Play another Power Four school Prominent SEC voices continue to trumpet that the committee erred by rejecting three 9-3 teams from the inaugural 12-team playoff, and that the committee does not sufficiently reward the SEC's schedule. 'I have a hard time seeing Ole Miss, Alabama, and South Carolina not being in the best teams last year,' Georgia coach Kirby Smart said, in reference to 9-3 teams that didn't make the playoff. I maintain the committee flubbed by selecting two-loss SMU, which beat nobody of substance and lost its two games against Top 25 opponents. Mississippi, which smashed Georgia after suffering a résumé-staining loss to Kentucky, would have been a better choice. And yet, the SEC's three-loss also-rans could have tempted the committee more if they'd played and won another conference game or at least played and won an additional game against a Power Four opponent, instead of creaming a Championship Subdivision school. We don't know how the committee would view a 9-3 SEC team that played 10 games against Power Four competition. We do know what the committee thought of the SEC's 9-3 teams that played only nine games against power-conference foes. They thought them undeserving of a playoff bid. If Florida, which plays Miami and Florida State, goes 9-3 this season, it likely would have a stronger case for an at-large bid than the SEC's three-loss teams last season. The same is true of South Carolina, which plays Virginia Tech and Clemson for 10 Power Four games. Alabama's games against Wisconsin and Florida State give the Tide 10 games at the big-boy table, too. Those teams stand in exception to the SEC's majority that choose a path of lesser non-conference resistance. The SEC keeps floating the myth that the playoff committee does not respect strength of schedule. That's untrue. Indiana won 11 games last season, but the Hoosiers' soft schedule meant Indiana ranked behind four other at-large playoff qualifiers that won fewer games. Also, the SEC's three-loss teams reached the playoff's doorstep largely because of their strength of schedule. Another marquee victory could help get a three-loss team across the playoff's threshold. I can understand the SEC's reluctance to add a ninth conference game. Another league game would guarantee another loss to half the conference. Those additional losses would hinder playoff pursuits across half the league. The alternative to a ninth SEC game, though, should not be a game against Weasel Tech or Seventh-Grade State. Schedule another opponent from the big leagues. Non-conference scheduling includes the hurdle of needing two to tango. Not every power-conference team wants to play an SEC foe. Nebraska ducked out of its series with Tennessee. Wake Forest canceled on Ole Miss. Still, the SEC cannot relent. SEC coaches would be wise to keep the pedal down on this blue-sky idea of a Big Ten-SEC challenge. The SEC insists it wields the nation's strongest conference and that the committee should honor it as such. That argument holds merit, but the case would become easier to prove if SEC teams scheduled fewer games against Coastal Cupcake and more games against power-conference peers.
