SEC recruiting rankings after Alabama landed multiple 5-star commitments
However, the average Georgia commitment is not as highly ranked as the average Alabama Crimson Tide or LSU Tigers commit. LSU leads the SEC with an average commitment rating of 93.62. The Tigers notably have a commitment from the nation's No. 1 wide receiver recruit, Tristen Keys.
LSU's recruiting class is still ranked behind Alabama, who has the SEC's most (and nation's most) commitments from five-star recruits after an impressive recruiting streak in late June and early July. The Crimson Tide recently added commitments from five-star defensive back Jireh Edwards and five-star wide receiver Cederian Morgan. Alabama and head coach Kalen DeBoer are positioned to have a chance to sign the nation's top recruiting class in the 2026 cycle.
Contrarily, Alabama's in-state rival, the Auburn Tigers, is struggling on the recruiting trail. Head coach Hugh Freeze's uncertain future is a big factor in why the Tigers have the SEC's worst recruiting class. Auburn appears to be waiting to see how the 2025 season goes before committing significant resources to their class of 2026. The Tigers are currently ranked lower than teams like Idaho, Texas State and Tulsa. Auburn will finish the recruiting cycle ranked higher than all those non-Power Four teams, but the Tigers are not off to a good start.

EA Sports College Football 26 season simulation provides intriguing results for Texas A&M
The EA Sports College Football 26 video game's Dynasty Mode allows players to take over any program in the country and play through the entire upcoming college football season. With that comes the opportunity to simulate the season to see where each team will finish the year, according to the game's prediction for each matchup of team ratings. Heading into this year's campaign under second-year head coach Mike Elko, the Texas A&M schedule ranks as the No. 11 most difficult schedule in FBS. The Aggies will face challenging road tests against Notre Dame, LSU, Arkansas and Texas, while also welcoming Auburn, South Carolina, and Florida to Bryan-College Station, Texas. Advertisement Visiting programs on the schedule will play in an environment at Kyle Field that ranks as the No. 11 toughest place to play in this year's game. Texas A&M is traveling to Tiger Stadium and Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in 2025, both of which rank among the top 25. With multiple players rated highly and the Aggieland environment backing them, here is how Texas A&M's 2025 schedule shaped up after simulating through the entire season on Heisman Difficulty in EA Sports College Football 26: The Aggies finished the regular season with a record of 11-1 (7-1 in the SEC). Arkansas defeated Texas A&M in Week 8 in the Southwest Classic, but Elko turned the program around and put it back on the right track to end the season with a second victory over Texas, this time in the SEC Championship. Heading into the College Football Playoff with just one loss, Texas A&M defeated Notre Dame for the second time this season in the first round, followed by a dominant win over Miami to reach the CFP National Championship against USC, in which the Aggies were finally toppled. Advertisement Junior MIKE linebacker Scooby Williams won the Chuck Bednarik Award (Best defensive player), the Bronko Nagurski Trophy (Defensive Player of the Year) and the Dick Butkus Award (Linebacker of the Year) during the simulated season. Williams recorded 133 tackles (106 solo), 10 tackles-for-loss, 3.0 sacks, one interception, 12 pass breakups, and two forced fumbles. The star on the Aggies' offense was quarterback Marcel Reed, who recorded 4,179 passing yards, 36 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Reed also rushed for 424 yards and five touchdowns on the ground during his sophomore campaign in College Station. Needless to say, Elko's Aggies had an outstanding year with a dominant performance against the league's powerhouses. While the program fell short in the national championship against the Trojans, the results of the 2025 season would likely make the Maroon and White faithful extremely excited for what is to come. Time will tell if the simulation becomes a reality for this year's Texas A&M squad. However, the developers at EA Sports seem to believe that the Aggies stack up well against most teams across the country.

Tigers All-Star, First Draft Pick to Appear in an MLB Game, Passes Away
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The MLB Draft will celebrate its 60th anniversary next week, a tradition that traces to 1965. Joe Coleman wasn't the first player selected in the inaugural draft, but the pitcher taken third overall by the Washington Senators was the first-ever draft pick to reach the major leagues, less than four months after he was drafted out of Natick (Mass.) High School. Coleman, whose father and son also played in the major leagues, died Wednesday at age 78. More news: Yankees World Series Champion, St. Louis' Last AL All-Star, Dies at 97 A right-handed pitcher, Coleman played 15 seasons at the MLB level for the Senators (1965-70), Detroit Tigers (1971-76), Chicago Cubs (1976), Oakland Athletics (1977-78), Toronto Blue Jays (1978), San Francisco Giants (1979) and Pittsburgh Pirates (1979).

American baseball pitcher Joe Coleman, of the Washington Senators, pictured at RFK Stadium in Washington, May 2, 1969. UPI/Coleman retired with a career record of 142-135 and a 3.70 ERA. He twice won 20 games for the Tigers, in 1971 and 1973, and made his only career All-Star team in 1972. The Senators used Coleman sparingly in his first two seasons following his rapid promotion. From 1967-70, he was a stalwart in the Washington rotation, going 40-50 with a 3.57 ERA. More news: Former Cubs, Cardinals Outfielder Who Made St. Louis History Passes Away Coleman was traded to the Tigers in a memorable multi-player trade that sent former Cy Young Award winner Denny McLain to Washington in October 1970. He went on to enjoy the best years of his career in Detroit. Although the Tigers lost to the A's in the 1972 American League Championship Series, Coleman tossed a complete game shutout in his only career postseason appearance — a potential elimination game — in Game 3 of the series. More news: Former Red Sox, Indians, Angels Pitcher Passes Away Overall, Coleman went 88-73 with a 3.82 ERA in 203 regular-season games (201 starts) for the Tigers. After retiring as a player, Coleman enjoyed a long career as a coach and scout. He was the St. Louis Cardinals' pitching coach under Joe Torre from 1991-94, and held the same role for the California Angels in 1996. He later worked as the Angels' bullpen coach, and a minor league pitching coach for the Rays, Tigers and Marlins. More news: Former Braves, Red Sox Pitcher Dies Unexpectedly at 54 The Marlins awarded Coleman as their "Player Development Person of the Year" in 2013, and kept him on as a senior advisor after he retired from full-time coaching. "He was a good man with a really good heart," his son, Casey Coleman, told The Intelligencer. "Everywhere I went in professional baseball, I met pitchers he coached. Many gave him credit for making it to the big leagues." The Colemans — Casey, Joe, and the elder Joe Coleman, who pitched for three teams from 1942-55 — are the first three-generation family of pitchers in MLB history.
