Tennessee basketball offers 2028 shooting guard
Tennessee is recruiting toward its 2028 basketball signing class. The Vols offered a scholarship to shooting guard AJ Williams. "Blessed to receive an offer from the University of Tennessee," Williams announced. The 6-foot-6, 205-pound prospect is from Dutchtown High School in Hampton, Georgia. He also played for the USA Basketball U16 national team as a part of the FIBA U16 Men's AmeriCup in 2025. Williams has not accumulated recruiting rankings from 247Sports or On3. Mississippi State was the first school to offer him a scholarship on April 19. Additional schools to offer Williams scholarships include Georgia Tech, Georgia, Auburn, Indiana, North Carolina State, Louisville, Cincinnati, Vanderbilt, Memphis and Rutgers. Tennessee does not have a commitment for its 2028 basketball recruiting class. The Vols have six commitments in their 2025 basketball recruiting class: forward DeWayne Brown, small forward Amari Evans, point guard Troy Henderson, forward Nate Ament, shooting guard Clarence Massamba and shooting guard Ethan Burg.

Rece Davis ranks his preseason top 10 college football teams
ESPN "College GameDay" host Rece Davis is also a voter in the AP Poll. Davis recently ranked the top 25 college football teams in the country on his AP Poll ballot. Davis ranks the Clemson Tigers as his No. 1 team in the country. He was one of four AP Poll voters to rank Clemson No. 1. Additionally, he ranks Penn State No. 2, Texas No. 3, LSU No. 4 and Ohio State No. 5. We'll find out in Week 1 just how good most of Davis' top five teams are. Texas opens the season at Ohio State while LSU opens the season at Clemson. Davis ranks the Georgia Bulldogs as the No. 8 team in the country. He's a bit lower on Georgia than most other college football experts, but it is understandable. Georgia enters the 2025 season with a lot of questions after losing a significant amount of talent to the transfer portal and having 13 players selected in the 2025 NFL draft. Davis still needs to see how Gunner Stockton performs to have more confidence in the Dawgs.
