Texas A&M 2026 4-star RB commit ranked as ESPN's top committed running back
Texas A&M 2026 4-star RB commit ranked as ESPN's top committed running back Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class includes one of the top running back prospects, four-star Jonathan Hatton Jr., who was previously committed to Oklahoma before decommitting from the Sooners before ultimately shocking many national recruiting outlets by choosing the Aggies, thanks to Texas A&M coach Mike Elko and running back coach Trooper Taylor's influence. On the field, Hatton is the complete package, possessing the vision, footwork, and acceleration matched with his physical running style to become a No. 1 option during his second or third year at the next level. Among the rest of the running back crop in the 2026 class, Hatton has quickly risen in the ranks in ESPN's 300 rankings, positioned 75th overall, and is currently the No. 1-ranked committed running back in the class. Derek Cooper, Savion Hiter, Ezavier Crowell, and Davian Groce are ranked above Hatton, but remain uncommitted. While his 2023 sophomore season included 1,222 yards, 21 touchdowns, and five yards per carry, his speed and ability to burst out of small holes and evade defenders led to 1,229 yards, 20 touchdowns, and an incredible 9.17 yards per carry. According to ESPN, Jonathan Hatton is currently positioned as the 5th-ranked running back and the 6th-ranked prospect in Texas. As long as OC Collin Klein is employed at Texas A&M, elite running back play is essential to producing offensive points. For every young running back considering the Aggies, senior Le'Veon Moss's skillset is the archetype needed to excel in the SEC and thrive in Klein's system.

Met Office reveals Bank Holiday Monday forecast for Northern Ireland
Bank Holiday Monday could be a bit of a washout in Northern Ireland, according to forecasters. Sunday saw spells of sun, wind and rain — and the unsettled weather after days of sunshine looks set to continue into the Spring bank holiday. The Met Office said there will be some bright or sunny intervals at first, but otherwise cloudy with some showers. The afternoon is expected to see some longer spells of rain develop. It will be cool and breezy, with a maximum temperature of 13C. A changeable Tuesday will see more cloud and rain, although it's expected to be brighter later. Sunshine and scattered showers are due again on Wednesday, with more rain for a time on Thursday. There is good chance of some rain here every day until the start of June, with temperatures hovering around the mid-teens for most of this week. Meanwhile, Met Office figures show that England had its driest start to spring in March and April since 1956, with half the expected rainfall in April and only a quarter of the long-term average in March. According to the forecaster, until Friday night, Leuchars in Fife went 34 days without rain, while people in Bradford, West Yorkshire, did not see rain for 31 days. 'It's been very dry but it will change to something more unsettled on Sunday morning,' meteorologist Zoe Hatton said. 'Across the north of the countryside of Scotland is likely to be wet and quite miserable initially. 'A band of rain will be moving eastwards overnight lingering in the far north of Scotland. Elsewhere it's not going to be widely wet. 'There's going to be low cloud in places which could produce outbreaks of rain across the Pennines and across higher ground in the south of England, but the main focus will really be northern Scotland. 'As the day moves on that band of rain will move eastwards and we're going to see showers arriving from the west. 'The most likely places affected will be Northern Ireland, Scotland and the north of England, and some quite frequent blustery showers across parts of the country, but drier further south.' Temperatures on Sunday are expected to peak at about 15C in Scotland, with highs of 21C to 22C in the south of England. 'As we go into bank holiday Monday we're expecting things to stay fairly similar, with showers arriving from the west heaviest and most frequent across the north and west of the country, in Scotland and Northern Ireland,' Ms Hatton said. News Catch Up - Friday 23 May 'It's not a complete washout, there will be drier, brighter interludes. It shouldn't feel particularly cold as we go into the new working week. 'Temperatures are expected to start rising by the end of the week, so perhaps feeling a little bit warmer in the sunshine from Friday onwards.'

Shane Lowry and Tyrell Hatton learn punishment for foul-mouthed US PGA rants
The second round of the US PGA Championship was a challenge for a number of players and the pressure got the better of a couple of stars as they launched into foul-mouthed outbursts Tyrrell Hatton and Shane Lowry have both landed themselves in hot water for their behaviour at the US PGA. The pair launched into foul-mouthed explosions during the second round at Quail Hollow, and both are in line for fines. Hatton and Lowry were among a number of stars to find the going tough on day two. Rory McIlroy only just made the cut on +1, with Hatton two strokes clear of the Northern Irishman, but Lowry found himself the other side of that line. Ryder Cup star Hatton, 33, began his round on the back nine and ran into difficulties on the 18th. Sky Sports cameras picked up the Brit yelling "'Piece of s***" after a wayward tee shot, after a four-letter Hatton outburst in the opening round had already prompted an apology from the broadcaster. Lowry was seen flipping a middle finger at the hole during a bogey as part of his round, with the Irishman also heard saying "f*** this place". He went round in par in the second round, but his round one struggles meant he still missed the cut. Both Hatton and Lowry are expected to receive fines for their behaviour. And, speaking after carding a round of 73, the former shed some more light on a difficult round. 'You tell me, you've seen it," Hatton replied when asked to clarify his language on 18. 'Either way it wasn't my finest moment on the course but I mean yeah, running hot in the moment I'm pretty good at sometimes saying the wrong thing. So yeah, I'll leave it at that.' He added: 'A great birdie on 17 but a poor tee shot really on 18 and then made some bad decisions. Making seven there was tough and I just unfortunately wasn't able to make other shots coming back on the back nine and it ends up being a frustrating day.' Hatton had made a strong start, carding a three-under 68 in the opening round to leave him tied for ninth. Matt Fitzpatrick was also in that group and fared far better, repeating the trick to sit in second place at the halfway stage. Jhonattan Vegas remains out in front, following his opening-round 64 with a 70. He and Mathieu Pavon will form the final group on Saturday, with the Frenchman posting -6 on day two to fire himself into the mix. "Having been in this position before is a huge advantage," said Fitzpatrick, a former US Open champion. "I feel like there's less pressure. I want to win another major and I'm looking forward to being in contention again."

England's Matt Fitzpatrick rises to equal second at US PGA
Fitzpatrick has slumped from eighth in the world rankings at the beginning of last year to his current position of 85th and admitted after an opening 68 there were times this season he did not want to be competing. However, the 2022 US Open champion, who sacked caddie Billy Foster in March in an attempt to turn the corner, added another 68 at Quail Hollow on Friday to lie just two shots off the halfway lead held by Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas. R1: 6️⃣8️⃣R2: 6️⃣8️⃣ Heading into the weekend T2.#PGAChamp | @MattFitz94 — DP World Tour (@DPWorldTour) May 16, 2025 Matthieu Pavon and Si Woo Kim were alongside Fitzpatrick on six under, Kim making a hole-in-one from 252 yards on the sixth in his 64, with world number one Scottie Scheffler and Max Homa – who also shot 64 – another stroke back. McIlroy bogeyed the final two holes to add a 69 to his opening 74 and make the cut with nothing to spare on one over par, alongside playing partner and defending champion Xander Schauffele. Fitzpatrick, who carded five birdies and two bogeys in his 68, said: 'The best thing for me is I am just happy to be in this position given the start of the year I've had. 'It's not one of the goals to be where I am but I have 36 holes left and I'm in with a good chance. 'I obviously want to win another major, of course I do, but I've already won one, so I feel like there's less pressure when you've already won one definitely.' Halfway leader Vegas, who has recorded just one top-25 finish in 16 majors, had looked set to enjoy a more sizeable lead when he reached 10 under par before taking four to get down from a greenside bunker to make a double bogey on the last. The resulting 70 left him two shots clear of France's Matthieu Pavon, with Max Homa another stroke back adding a 64 to his opening 73. 'I feel like finishing so late yesterday, not getting a great sleep, and having to come back early kind of put me not in the best mood all day,' Vegas, who completed an opening 64 at 8pm on Thursday, said. 'Even though it's never easy to give two shots away right at the end, [there's] a lot of golf left, so got to keep remembering the good stuff.' Tyrrell Hatton would do well to take a similar attitude after swearing at his own driver after pulling his tee shot on the difficult par-four 18th into the creek which runs the length of the hole. Hatton could be clearly heard shouting 'piece of s***' at the face of his driver, followed by another word – seemingly beginning with the letter C – which was not 100 per cent clear. Following a penalty drop, Hatton hit this third shot into the rough short of the green and failed to find the putting surface with his fourth, before seeing his fifth shot trickle back off the green. The Englishman almost holed his next shot and tapped in for a seven before covering the front nine in 36 to complete a 73 which left him one under par. Asked to clarify what he had said on the 18th tee, Hatton said: 'You tell me, you've seen it.' Told the first three words were clear but the fourth was not, Hatton replied: 'OK. Well either way it wasn't my finest moment on the course but I mean yeah, running hot in the moment I'm pretty good at sometimes saying the wrong thing. 'So yeah, I'll leave it at that.' It is far from the first time Hatton's explosive temper has been seen on the course, with the world number 20 labelled a 'terrible influence' by Sky Sports commentator Ewen Murray after snapping a club and complaining about course conditions during the DP World Tour Championship in November. Hatton reacted angrily to missing a short birdie putt on the 11th hole at Jumeirah Golf Estates, exclaiming clearly 'F*** you, f****** s*** greens' and banging his putter down on the green. The LIV Golf player then broke one of his wedges after missing the green with his approach to the par-five 14th.

Shane Lowry and Tyrrell Hatton express frustration during second round of US PGA
Lowry slammed his club into the turf and loudly exclaimed 'F*** this place' after being denied relief for an embedded ball on the eighth hole and dumping his second shot into a greenside bunker. The resulting bogey left the former Open champion battling to make the halfway cut and came hours after the latest outburst from Hatton, who was within a shot of the lead after covering his first eight holes in two under par before a costly triple bogey. After pulling his tee shot on the difficult par-four 18th into the creek which runs the length of the hole, Hatton could be clearly heard shouting 'piece of s***' at the face of his driver, followed by another word – seemingly beginning with the letter C – which was not 100 per cent clear. Following a penalty drop, Hatton hit this third shot into the rough short of the green and failed to find the putting surface with his fourth, before seeing his fifth shot trickle back off the green. The Englishman almost holed his next shot and tapped in for a seven before covering the front nine in 36 to complete a 73 which left him one under par, seven shots off the clubhouse lead held by Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas. Asked to clarify what he had said on the 18th tee, Hatton said: 'You tell me, you've seen it.' Told the first three words were clear but the fourth was not, Hatton replied: 'OK. Well either way it wasn't my finest moment on the course but I mean yeah, running hot in the moment I'm pretty good at sometimes saying the wrong thing. 'So yeah, I'll leave it at that.'

The resulting 70 left him two shots clear of France's Matthieu Pavon, with Max Homa another stroke back adding a 64 to his opening 73. 'I feel like finishing so late yesterday, not getting a great sleep, and having to come back early kind of put me not in the best mood all day,' Vegas, who completed an opening 64 at 8pm on Thursday, said. 'Every chance you get to lead a major and play with the lead is never easy, so I feel proud of a solid round today. Even though it's never easy to give two shots away right at the end, [there's] a lot of golf left, so got to keep remembering the good stuff.'
