LSU's Kim Mulkey Sends Message to Flau'jae Johnson After Career Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Flau'Jae Johnson is not only a star basketball player for the LSU Tigers. She is also a multi-talented woman. Advertisement Over the last three years, she has helped lead the Tigers to the Elite Eight round of the women's NCAA Tournament. As a freshman during the 2022-23 season, she teamed with Angel Reese, who is now with the WNBA's Chicago Sky, to guide LSU to the national championship with a win over Caitlin Clark's Iowa Hawkeyes. Johnson is also a rapper who has appeared on "America's Got Talent" and "The Rap Game." She has released three albums, and on Friday, her new single, named "Remember When," dropped. Tigers head coach Kim Mulkey took to X to congratulate Johnson. "Proud of you @Flaujae 💜🤍💛," Johnson wrote.

Klubnik Cracks Top 10 Returning QBs, Eyes Heisman After Championship Season
Klubnik Cracks Top 10 Returning QBs, Eyes Heisman After Championship Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. CLEMSON, S.C. -- After leading the Clemson Tigers back to the pinnacle of the ACC and securing a College Football Playoff berth, quarterback Cade Klubnik is not just a champion, but also one of the nation's elite signal-callers heading into the 2025 season. According to the College Sports Network's advanced QB+ metric, Klubnik ranks as the seventh-best returning quarterback in college football, positioning him as a legitimate contender for the Heisman Trophy. Advertisement Klubnik's 2024 campaign was a resounding success, culminating in a dramatic ACC Championship victory over SMU where he was named the game's MVP for the second time in his career. This performance, a key factor in his impressive 82.2 (B-) QB+ grade, solidified his status as a clutch performer and a leader capable of elevating his team in high-stakes moments. The CSN QB+ metric, which weighs stable performance factors like clean pocket passing and designed rushing success more heavily, highlights the core strengths of Klubnik's game. One of his most impressive attributes is his composure under duress. Only two other returning quarterbacks in the nation posted a better pressured EPA per dropback (0.1) than Klubnik last season, a testament to his calm presence in the pocket when chaos erupts. While his overall grade was slightly dampened by a tough season-opening loss to Georgia (66.8, D grade), Klubnik's body of work speaks for itself. He consistently performed at a high level, logging four games with an 80+ grade.

He led all returning quarterbacks with an impressive 36 passing touchdowns in 2024. Within the ACC, his dominance was even more apparent. According to TruMedia, he paced all returning conference quarterbacks in total pass EPA (114.19). A constant big-play threat, Klubnik tied for the ACC lead with seven plays of 50 or more yards and recorded more 20+ yard plays (57) than any other quarterback returning to the conference in 2025. Advertisement His efficiency was also top-tier, boasting a 6.0 touchdown-to-interception ratio, second only to Georgia Tech's Haynes King among returning ACC signal-callers. As Klubnik enters his third season at the helm of Garrett Riley's offense, expectations are soaring. With another year of experience and a proven track record of success, a trip to New York for the Heisman ceremony is a realistic goal. If he can build upon his 2024 performance and continue his upward trajectory, Klubnik has the potential to not only lead Clemson to another ACC title but also contend for a national championship.

Nation's Top LB To Officially Visit SEC Powerhouse After Trips To Clemson, Oregon
Nation's Top LB To Officially Visit SEC Powerhouse After Trips To Clemson, Oregon originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Class of 2026 five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson remains uncommitted as he entertains some of the top college football programs in the country. Advertisement The Grayson High School product out of Lawrenceville, Georgia, ranks as the nation's No. 1 linebacker, the No. 1 player in the state and the No. 22 overall recruit in his class (Rivals). Ratings aside, Atkinson's production over the last two seasons raised some eyebrows on the recruiting trail. As a sophomore, the 6-foot-2, 205-pound linebacker broke the Grayson record for tackles in a season (197). Atkinson went on to lead the Rams to a 6A state championship title as a junior while racking up 166 tackles (32 for loss), 13 sacks, an interception and a forced fumble. Atkinson is coming off official visits to both Clemson (May 30) and Oregon (June 6). He also unofficially visited Ohio State and Miami last year. Grayson High School linebacker Tyler AtkinsonLori Schmidt / Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Where Atkinson has spent the most time, though, is SEC powerhouse Georgia. Advertisement Head coach Kirby Smart's Bulldogs have hosted the elite in-state recruit multiple times dating back to his middle school days and are slated to receive an official visit from Atkinson this weekend, the linebacker announced Wednesday via On3's Hayes Fawcett. 'It feels like I grew up at UGA because of all the camps and visits I've been to over the years since I was younger," Atkinson said. Georgia is believed to be the favorite to land Atkinson, according to recruiting experts from On3, 247Sports and Rivals. That wouldn't be a surprise considering the long-running relationship, proximity to home and UGA's knack for producing NFL players at Atkinson's position. Advertisement Smart and co-defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Glenn Schumann have recruited and coached three Butkus Award winners, along with multiple first-round draft picks, since 2017. However, Clemson and Oregon should be considered as heavyweight contenders as Atkinson considers the best option for his future.
