Notre Dame transfer Rocco Spindler makes PFF College First Team Preseason All-Big Ten
Pro Football Focus College released its preseason First Team All-Big Ten Offense on Monday afternoon, one month before Nebraska begins the 2025 season. Right guard Rocco Spindler represents the Huskers on the list. The Notre Dame transfer joins Nebraska after spending four seasons with the Fighting Irish. He played in 40 games for Notre Dame at right guard, starting in 23 of them. Spindler got his first chance of action during his freshman season in 2021, playing in two games before redshirting. He then played in 12 games as a sophomore in 2022, before earning the starting role in 2023. The 6-foot-5, 320-pound lineman got 10 starts in 2023, helping the Fighting Irish rank second in school history in scoring and yards per play. His performance on the Notre Dame helped him become a 2023 Joe Moore Award Semifinalist. Spindler then started the final 13 games of the 2024 season, guiding Notre Dame to the College Football Playoff championship game. Before joining the Fighting Irish, Spindler emerged from Clarkson High School in Michigan with a four-star rating and ESPN tabbing him as the nation's No. 1 offensive guard.

PFF College ranks Notre Dame's Charles Jagusah as a top-five offensive tackle nationally
It is unknown when Notre Dame offensive lineman Charles Jagusah will be ready to take the field in the 2025 season after he was injured in an ATV accident in Wyoming and underwent surgery to repair a fractured left humerus. The team said Jagusah's prognosis from the surgery is "favorable," so that is good news. And when he does return to the field, he will certainly make an instant impact as he is one of the better linemen in the country. Jagusah's future is bright, as evidenced by Pro Football Focus College ranking him as the No. 5 OT for the 2026 NFL Draft. Jagusah was projected to start at left tackle for the Fighting Irish entering the 2024 season but tore a pectoral muscle early in training camp. After missing the entire regular season, he returned for their College Football Playoff run. He filled in for Rocco Spindler at right guard and then started the national title game against Ohio State at left tackle. He provides a lot of versatility, as he was slated to start at right guard for the Irish this fall.

Oregon Football star Matayo Uiagalelei projected to be first-round pick in 2026
Oregon Football star Matayo Uiagalelei projected to be first-round pick in 2026 The Oregon Ducks have become accustomed to losing players to the NFL in the past few years. They just lost 10 players to the 2025 draft and if the players currently in Eugene continue on this trajectory, then there is expected to be many more draft selections next year. Among those players anticipated to be picked is Matayo Uiagalelei. The 5-star recruit possesses a rare blend of size, speed and athleticism to go along with elite pass rush skills. In his first real opportunity to play at Oregon last year, Uiagalelei proved why he is such a highly touted prospect with 10.5 sacks in just 13 games. Even more impressive is the fact that over the final 10 games of the season there was only one game in which Uiagalelei did not record a sack. Combine that with the two fumbles he forced and the interception he caught, and you have all the makings of a potential NFL star. Max Chadwick of Pro Football Focus College believes that if Uiagalelei continues to develop at this rate then he could be a first-round pick next year. The star pass rusher has all the intangibles and measurables it takes to be an elite NFL player; he will just need to sustain his dominant numbers.
