Texas offers elite 2027 in-state WR
Texas offers elite 2027 in-state WR It's two years away, but Texas currently only has four-star linebacker Taven Epps committed for the 2027 cycle. Over the weekend, plenty of elite talent from that cycle attended the Longhorns' Elite Camp, and four-star wide receiver prospect Alvin Mosley was one of them. Mosley came into the weekend with 16 offers with programs such as Florida State, TCU, SMU, and Arkansas already making bids. That number is now 17 as Texas extended an offer to the 6-foot-2, 185-pounder. It was a productive sophomore campaign for Mosley. He produced 52 receptions for 830 yards and 11 touchdowns. Because of that, 247Sports composite rankings have Mosley as the No. 223 player nationally and the nation's No. 29 wide receiver. They also have him ranked as the No. 32 prospect in the state of Texas. Mosley has mentioned that TCU, Houston, and SMU have caught his eye. However, he came into his visit with Texas hoping to leave with an offer. "I mean, it sounds great. They could develop me to be an NFL receiver so of course I'd like it," said Mosley via Horns247. The Longhorns need to strike while the iron is hot and set up another visit with Mosley quickly.

Commanders UDFA Seen As Contender to Make 53-Man Roster
Commanders UDFA Seen As Contender to Make 53-Man Roster originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In a division with CeeDee Lamb, A.J. Brown, Malik Nabers, George Pickens and DeVonta Smith, the Washington Commanders know that they have to field a strong secondary to get any chance to be competitive. Advertisement Their defense made major strides in 2024 under coach Dan Quinn. After having the worst unit in 2023, the Commanders secondary ranked third in the league in 2024. Having a better offense certainly helps, but Quinn's work has seen staggering results. Washington isn't done, either. They added Marshon Lattimore at the trade deadline last year, and hope that second-round rookie Trey Amos can have an immediate impact as well. There's one more player that Washington may have at their disposal. And he's a UDFA that is turning heads at OTAs. CBS Sports' Chris Trapasso believes that Fentrell Cypress II, the cornerback out of Florida State, has a great chance to make the 53-man roster for the Commanders. Advertisement "Fentrell Cypress II is a man-coverage specialist with the athletic attributes to play that role in the NFL," Trapasso wrote. "While not ridiculously long, the former Florida State star is 6-foot-1 and 181 pounds with 4.43-second speed in the 40-yard dash, a 38-inch vertical jump and tremendous agility illustrated by his 6.84-second time in the three-cone drill at the Seminole pro day. "Sometimes that natural talent is all a cornerback needs to impress coaches enough to go from undrafted to on the roster in Year 1." If there's a coaching staff who can develop unsure talent in the secondary, it is Quinn. It is what makes Washington such an interesting team going into the 2025 season. ... and made more interesting if a UDFA like Cypress makes the roster.

No. 9 overall seed Florida State rallies to beat Mississippi State 5-2, win Tallahassee Regional
Associated Press TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Cal Fisher tied the game with a two-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning and Max Williams gave No. 9 overall seed Florida State the lead with a two-run single in the eighth as the Seminoles rallied to beat Mississippi State 5-2 on Sunday and win the Tallahassee Regional. Florida State (41-14), in its 61st appearance in the NCAA Tournament, clinched a berth in the super regionals. The Seminoles have advanced to the College World Series 24 times and never won it. They were the runners-up in 1970, 1986 and 1999. Only Texas (38) and Miami (25) have more CWS appearances than Florida State. Gehrig Frei put Mississippi State (36-23) on top when he homered to left field on the first pitch of the game from Wes Mendes (7-2). Joe Powell homered to left off Mendes in the fifth for a 2-0 lead. Mendes gave up five hits with nine strikeouts. Florida State couldn't get anything going against Bulldogs starter Karson Ligon despite getting four hits and drawing five walks in his four innings. Luke Dotson (1-2) pitched three innings and surrendered the lead on four hits and a walk. Ligon and Dotson both struck out seven. Ryan McPherson gave up the final two runs. Fisher homered off Dotson after Myles Bailey led off with a double. Dotson left after issuing a leadoff walk in the eighth. Bailey drove in the third run of the inning with a single. Mississippi State was making its 41st appearance in the tournament. The Bulldogs have made 12 CWS appearances. They won it in 2021 and were the runners-up in 2013. The Seminoles beat the Bulldogs 10-3 on Saturday. ___ AP college sports: recommended
