Texans Predicted to Land Proven Veteran Brandon Scherff to Protect C.J. Stroud
Texans Predicted to Land Proven Veteran Brandon Scherff to Protect C.J. Stroud originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With the 2025 NFL Draft and the first major wave of free agency behind them, NFL teams are developing a clearer picture of what their rosters lack. Advertisement With still much of the offseason ahead, teams will wade back into the waters of free agency. There are still several numerous names floating about, and one name stands out for the Houston Texans: Brandon Scherff. In a recent article from Pro Football & Sports Network, analyst Brandon Austin listed one free agent each NFL team should sign ahead of the 2025 season. For the Texans, Austin predicts they will pursue veteran guard Scherff to solidify the offensive line. "That position group was the team's biggest weakness in 2024, and it became even worse at the start of free agency," Austin wrote. "The 31st-ranked offensive line in PFSN's rankings traded away their best piece in left tackle Laremy Tunsil." Houston also traded away guard Kenyon Green, but they signed veteran Laken Tomlinson and made a trade with the Vikings for Ed Ingram. Advertisement Though the Texans somewhat addressed their offensive line needs in the Draft, Austin isn't convinced it's enough. "Second-round pick Aireontae Ersery is a mountain of a man, and he has starting upside in the NFL, but he may not be ready to plug into an already dysfunctional lineup right away," Austin wrote. "That's why adding a proven veteran like Brandon Scherff to the mix makes a lot of sense." Jacksonville Jaguars guard Brandon Scherff (68) runs during the fourth quarter Sunday, Dec. 15, 2024 at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla. The Jets held off the Jaguars Perrine/Florida Times-Union-USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Scherff, 33, is a former No. 5 overall pick by Washington out of Iowa in the 2015 NFL Draft. He's played for a decade and has been named to the Pro Bowl in half of those seasons. Though he's likely nearing the end of his career, Austin noted Scherff's recent health as a reason for optimism. Advertisement "Scherff managed to stay healthy during his time with the Jaguars, which was a welcome change after several injury-plagued years in Washington," Austin wrote. "He's now played in all 17 games for three straight seasons, following a stretch where he missed at least three games in five consecutive years." Scherff was a brick wall in pass protection during the 2024 season after not giving up a single sack across 592 pass-blocking snaps. Among all NFL guards, only Trey Smith (665 snaps) logged more without allowing a sack. Though Scherff wouldn't be a long-term fix, he would be a powerful addition to an otherwise struggling offensive line contingent.

Oklahoma's toppled softball dynasty, in context of other college sports
Until Saturday Newsletter 🏈 | This is The Athletic's college football newsletter. Sign up here to receive Until Saturday directly in your inbox. Today in college football news, the Mrs. and I have been rebuilding our CD collections from scratch … inspired by our kid, who's started one of her own. CDs are so unbelievably back. Yesterday, one of the greatest dynasties in major college sports history saw the end of its current title streak, though we'll let future seasons determine whether the dynasty itself has run its course. In the Women's College World Series semifinals, big-money upstart Texas Tech — which had never won even a conference title in this sport until this season — knocked off four-time reigning champion Oklahoma. On a walkoff, no less. Having spoiled what would have been the third rivalry finale in four years between OU and Texas, the Red Raiders will take the shot themselves. Still plenty of juice, though, since few schools hate Texas more than Tech does. (The best-of-three starts tomorrow night.) With history's longest softball title streak now officially dusted, where does it stand in college sports history? Well, since this is college sports, there are about a million ways to answer that. All according to the NCAA's records: Coach Patty Gasso's softball Sooners didn't put together a streak long enough to hurdle some of the biggest records in the books, but they also managed to challenge for a fifth straight title despite playing in The Portal And NIL Era. This season, their previous star Jordy Bahl was the DI Player of the Year for her home-state Huskers, and the Texas Tech team that finally took OU down was led by million-dollar ace NiJaree Canady. (Nobody's heart is breaking for any SEC power in any sport, but still. It's reasonable to wonder whether staying on the very top is even harder now. Salute.) 🥏 Frisbee emoji? No, it's a blue chip, you see. Today, Grace Raynor ranks all 25 No. 1 recruits of the 2000s. I can stop selling this link now, because you've already clicked it. 💰 Three days ago, it would've cost Bill Belichick $10 million to leave his job at North Carolina. As of this week, it'd cost just $1 million. Still hasn't coached a game yet! Advertisement 🐂 Jim Leavitt, USF's founding coach who then led the Bulls to their momentary No. 2 ranking in 2007, left the program on very bad terms in 2010. He's now joining the athletic department's hall of fame, alongside late basketball coach Amir Abdur-Rahim. 🧢 Lots of slow starters in recruiting, like Alabama down at No. 45. Not without precedent at this point in the calendar, but still. 🎬 'It's little (stuff) like this. That's not typical for 3. Watch 8. That's the stuff I watch this game and go, hmmm … Why aren't we playing as hard as we usually play? If this was Ohio State, Adon would knock the crap out of him.' — Marcus Freeman with Pete Sampson, explaining Notre Dame's loss to NIU while demonstrating how coaches watch film. As we talked about last week, the current '50 million automatic College Football Playoff bids for the Big Ten and SEC, plus scraps for the other powers' plan isn't necessarily the SEC's favorite. As SEC commissioner Greg Sankey has noted, four auto-bids for his league in a 16-team field could actually decrease the SEC's number of contestants. But … wouldn't roughly the same be true for the Big Ten? In that case, why would the B1G want this at all? As Scott Dochterman explains, it all goes back to the exact same thing the Big Ten has been yelling at the sky for nine years now: Its teams play one more conference game per year than the SEC's or ACC's do. Scott writes: 'Without uniform scheduling, Big Ten officials are concerned that an open (five automatic bids and 11 at-larges) plan would cause more schools to ease up on their nonconference slates rather than play other power-conference schools; one recently called it a 'race to the bottom.'' Hmm. In general, this version of college football's eternal strength-of-schedule debate has been non-stop since the CFP era began, with everybody saying each offseason that SOS should matter more, but then nobody liking it once the season begins and a three-loss team ranks ahead of a two-loss team. As for the perpetual Big Ten vs. SEC sub-debate, by any schedule-strength metric, Big Ten and SEC teams annually play schedules that are about as comparable overall as any you'll find anywhere in such a sprawling sport. (As always, because it's impossible to discuss any of this without hearing a specific charge: I'm not an SEC alum. I'm a Conference USA alum who was raised to root for an ACC rival of an SEC team. My list of annoyances with the SEC happens to not include this one, and nobody hoodwinked me into thinking that. I still love you.) OK, see you Thursday! Email me at untilsaturday@ The other day, a couple of you wrote in to suggest an Until Saturday online dynasty in College Football 26. Let us ponder this. Last week's most-clicked: I had zero doubt it'd be Antonio Morales ranking all 62 five-star quarterbacks of the internet rankings era. 📫 Love Until Saturday?
