If you think Army is going to run over, around and through the South Florida defense the way the Black Knights did against Bryant in week one, think again.
There were a lot of positives to draw from as Army rolled up a school-record 648 yards of total offense and 569 rushing yards on the way to a 59-3 victory over Bryant. With a rout in progress, Army went deep into its bench and utilized 16 different ball carries, including three quarterbacks.
South Florida is not Bryant. The Bulls feature a defensive front that averages 6-foot-3, 293 pounds per man (Major Dillard is 330 pounds at nose, Asani Redwood is 300 at tackle and Michael Williams is 250 at end), compared to the Bryant squad that averaged 30 pounds less. Jump to the linebackers, and USF features a group that averages 6-3, 233 pounds, more than a dozen pounds heavier than the similar Bryant unit. You can also expect South Florida's defenders will be quicker to close off the edges, perhaps cutting off Army's success on the perimeter.
The Bulls held Florida International to 80 yards on 25 carries in a 19-9 win on the evening of Sept 5. FIU did roll up 301 yards of passing, on 62% of completed throws, but run-dominant Army has not been a passing threat for many years.
Based off last week's starting lineup (the Bulls do not release depth charts to the media), the South Florida defense fields nine starters who transferred in from other Division I schools. Linebackers C.J. Hicks (Ohio State), Grayson Howard (South Carolina and Florida) and Sam Robinson (Rutgers) played Power 4 ball, as did Redwood (West Virginia) up front. Corner Teddy Foster (Florida) and 'Star' Amanio Fortenberry (Kansas State) help anchor the secondary.

The Baltimore Ravens completed a significant roster transformation over the past four days, reducing their offseason group to 53 players and constructing a practice squad before turning their attention toward the September 13 season opener against the Colts. Baltimore began preparing for the deadline on August 26 by placing center Danny Pinter on injured reserve. Pinter suffered a torn patellar tendon during a joint practice with Minnesota. The Ravens also waived linebacker Reid Williford with an injury settlement.
The largest wave of moves arrived August 30. Baltimore placed cornerback Bilhal Kone and running back Adam Randall on injured reserve with designations to return. Both players counted against the initial 53 before being moved, allowing them to return after missing at least four regular-season games.
The Ravens then released five vested veterans: wide receiver Chris Moore, cornerback Amani Oruwariye, offensive tackle David Sharpe, safety K'Von Wallace and running back Jonathan Ward. Unlike players with fewer than four accrued seasons, those veterans immediately became free agents.
Baltimore also waived 28 players:

How do the New York Giants stack up against the rest of the NFL following the deadline to finalize 53-man rosters?
ESPN had the Giants drop one spot to No. 24 overall in its preseason power rankings after rosters were set, highlighting Odell Beckham Jr., who just made the team, and his milestone chase as a feat to watch for New York in 2026.
Milestone to watch: Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. climbing to second in Giants history for total touchdown receptions.
Beckham needs five touchdown grabs to pass Kyle Rote (48) for the second most in Giants history. Amani Toomer is first with 54. Beckham is back for his second stint with the team since leaving in 2018, and coach John Harbaugh complimented his performance during training camp. Beckham is currently fourth in franchise history with 44 touchdown receptions. Joe Morrison is third with 47.
Beckham adds to a wide receiver room that will welcome Malik Nabers back from injury and also features rookie Malachi Fields along with Darius Slayton. The receiving corps has the potential to produce solid numbers if everyone can stay healthy.

UFC Shanghai is less than 24 hours away …
It all goes down this weekend (Sat., Aug. 29, 2026), inside Shanghai Indoor Stadium in Shanghai, China. In the main event, No. 6-ranked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight contender Song Yadong returns to action against former ****** le challenger Umar Nurmagomedov with big implications.
We have a weekly series at MMAmania.com called "Weekend Lock," where we share one bet that we predict will slap in China when the chaotic dust settles. We also want to hear what our readers think (that's you!), so please tell us your most confident UFC Shanghai betting lock in the comments section below (see full UFC Shanghai odds here).
Last week's recap: And just like that, the streak has ended … Anthony Wint won at UFC Sacramento but did not win by knockout; instead, he submitted his opponent (watch highlights).
Let's keep rolling below (spoiler — I'm chasing the knockout again):

After the first matchday of Serie A, the talking points we've seen are the usual ones: refereeing decisions, the transfer market still being open, the post-match reactions where some vent by criticizing and others take little digs as a strategy.
The routine we waited for all summer, however, mustn't put us on autopilot, because something different happened: young Italians actually played. It seems unbelievable, but it's true: Mattia Liberali, Simone Lontani, Alessandro Romano (Swiss with dual citizenship), Emanuele Lulli, Alphadjo Cisse and Alessio Cacciamani took the field.
Some did so as starters, others came off the bench: for not all of them was it their absolute Serie A debut, but the wider public really discovered them just a few days ago. The comparison with the other top European leagues is still a long way off (to put it kindly), but at least we're trying: "Better something than nothing," as Gianni Brera would have said.
After an excellent pre-season with Milan and Ruben Amorim's imprimatur in a press conference, Alphadjo Cisse (without the accent, as he himself wanted to point out) made his debut at San Siro and scored the first Serie A goal of his career. He handled the ball well in traffic, pressed constantly and, above all, scored at the decisive moment.
During the summer he trained on his own in Montesilvano (Abruzzo) to get back into shape after tearing his adductor tendon, an injury that had cut short an excellent season with Aquilani's Catanzaro. Throughout July, Sassuolo and Torino wanted him on loan, but Amorim chose to keep him and throw him in. He is already repaying that faith.

Late August is typically the most interesting point of silly season—not the most exciting, mind you, but the proximity to the new season makes every rumor and update feel more consequential. By now, all of Roma's top targets are long gone, and those who have replaced them—in this instance, Malick Fofana and/or Alessio Cacciamani—are intriguing enough to keep the club (and fans) on the hook.
The problem, as we see seemingly every year, is that negotiating for these second options is incredibly difficult, especially after Roma invested heavily in other positions. With a specific need to fill (in this case, left wing), little money to spend, and even less time to pull it off, the club has virtually no leverage in negotiations.
(Sorry, did I say this was an interesting time of year?)
According to the latest rumors, Roma has abandoned its pursuit of Fofana (which I don't believe for a second) and is instead focusing its efforts on Fenerbahçe's Jayden Oosterwolde. While the 25-year-old Dutchman can't fill the void left by Fofana, he's a handy little full-back/center-back hybrid with ample top-flight experience, including nearly 90 appearances for Fenerbahçe over the past three seasons.
Earlier today, Fabrizio Romano reported that the two clubs are working on an €18 million loan deal with an option that becomes mandatory under certain conditions. Oosterwolde may not be the most exciting name we've discussed this summer, but he would provide the club with the fourth wing-back they've pursued all summer. Additionally, his ability to play centrally could make Jan Ziolkowsi expendable, which could, in turn, generate enough capital to push the Fofana deal over the finish line.

While teenage sensation Rodrigo Mora continues to twist in the wind as Roma and Porto struggle to agree on the finer points of a €50 million transfer, the Giallorossi remain active on other fronts, particularly the wing-back position. In addition to bringing Champions League experience from his days with Atlético Madrid, newly signed right-back Nahuel Molina gives the club a dependable trio of wing-backs, joining Devyne Rensch and our top-rated U-23 player, Wesley França.
There's just one small problem: they're all nominally right wing-backs. Granted, Wesley's success on the left last season gives Gian Piero Gasperini more options at the position, but Roma still lacks a bona fide left wing-back. Earlier this summer, we discussed the possibility of signing Alessio Cacciamani, Torino's über-talented teenage winger, only to remember what a pain in the ***** it is dealing with Urban Cairo.
There have been intermittent whispers that Roma remains interested in Cacciamani, but over the past week, the club has become increasingly linked with Destiny Udogie. The 23-year-old Verona native officially joined Spurs in 2023 after a successful two-year stint with Udinese, where he scored eight goals and provided seven ***** ists in 68 league appearances.
While he hasn't quite matched those counting stats with Spurs, he's been a key piece of the puzzle at Tottenham, making 94 appearances across all competitions over the past three seasons. When silly season began, it seemed Roberto De Zerbi was keen to keep Udogie in North London, but the transfer pendulum has swung the other way.
According to multiple sources in Italy, including Nicolò Schira and Alfredo Pedullà, Spurs are reportedly warming to the idea of life without Udogie.

As the second quarter earnings season begins to wind down, Wall Street and Main Street alike are tallying up the scores, and the numbers have been unquestionably strong.
With just under 90% of companies in the S&P 500 (^GSPC) having released second quarter earnings, roughly 80% have reported year-on-year EPS growth, putting the quarter in the 94th percentile for the metric, per Bank of America research.
Those results, plus Wall Street consensus forecasts for the third and fourth quarters, put the S&P 500 on track for four consecutive quarters of EPS growth exceeding 20%, per BofA, a phenomenon that has only happened 10 times since 1936.
Part of that story, according to Bank of America strategists led by Savita Subramanian, is the AI boom that has largely been driving the US equity market.
The second quarter has seen broad earnings growth, with 10 out of 11 sectors on pace for positive year-on-year movement, BofA noted. Yet, "even so, AI remained the index's primary growth engine," the strategists wrote. While the median AI-related stock notched EPS growth of 28%, the median non-AI-related stock saw growth of just 12%.

PSLs or Personal Seat Licenses are a hot-button topic in Broncos Country right now. First, what exactly are PSLs? They are a one-time fee to secure the exclusive right to purchase season tickets for specific seats. It has become a new trendy thing in the sports landscape recently. The Buffalo Bills are doing PSLs for their newly opened Highmark Stadium and reportedly made nearly $260 million dollars
Greg Penner said the Broncos haven’t even got to deciding on PSLs yet pic.twitter.com/A5gtL5VMLC
The outrage amongst Broncos fans started when Team President Damani Leech was asked at the start of training camp if a decision had been made when it comes to implementing PSLs. Leech noted that most, if not all, new stadiums built in the past 10+ years had them issued and that they are a "pretty likely thing to happen", but did say no formal decision had been made at that time.
"As you know, I think every stadium in the last 10-plus years that's been built, there have been PSLs issued. So it seems like it's a pretty likely thing to happen, but we haven't made any formal decisions on that."
Well, on Tuesday, Denver Broncos Owner and CEO Greg Penner met with the media and was also asked about PSLs. Unlike Leech, who made it sound like a formality, Penner told reporters that PSLs are "the furthest thing from our minds right now" and that they have so many steps before they reach that point.

The Denver Broncos had a major piece of their new stadium land fall into place on Monday. SRM Concrete and the team came to terms on an undisclosed agreement to purchase about 10 acres of land surrounding Burnham Yard, the preferred site of the Broncos' upcoming stadium, according to Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post.
SRM Concrete was mentioned by name from Broncos owner and CEO Greg Penner at the NFL's annual meetings at the end of March as being one of the holdouts in the area in and around Burnham Yard, and one of the largest hurdles to cross before ground can be broken on a new stadium ahead of a projected 2031 opening of a new stadium.
Broncos president Damani Leech recently spoke about developments concerning the stadium, saying the team and the community need to work together to get Burnham Yard ready for the mixed-use development and stadium. Just a week ago, the team shared incredible renderings of what Burnham Yard may look like in the future.
One of the last major dominoes that needs to fall is the relocation of Denver Water, one of the biggest companies still located at Burnham Yard. Conversations surrounding the relocation are still ongoing, and details are still being ironed out.
"We're laser-focused on delivering (the new stadium) by 2031," Leech said earlier this month. "It's been a great effort by ownership, ourselves, the staff, the city. I've got to be honest, I wish we were further along in some areas than we are now. I think areas where we do control, particularly real estate, you mentioned Burnham Yard, real estate, engaging with the community, we've done site tours of the location, the design of the stadium continues to evolve, the master plan continues to evolve."

The move, outlined in a meeting held last week between Hirdaramani Group director Sid Hirdaramani and General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) CEO Dr. Mohamed Awad, is part of Egypt's continued push to attract foreign direct investment, particularly in export-oriented manufacturing.
According to GAFI, Hirdaramani Group intends to establish Egypt as a regional centre for manufacturing and exports to global markets, leveraging what the company described as Egypt's "competitive advantages".
The group, which operates more than 30 factories across several countries and employs over 55,000 staff, reported annual revenues of approximately $1.2bn with monthly garment production ranging from 12 million to 18.4 million units exported internationally.
During the meeting, Dr. Awad reiterated GAFI's support for facilitating Hirdaramani's expansion, highlighting the importance of attracting international manufacturers as part of Egypt's strategy to grow its export base and deepen local industrial capabilities.
He stated that such investments help integrate Egypt further into global supply chains and support the development of local supplier industries capable of meeting high international standards.

Roma's transfer market will see a dramatic acceleration in the coming days.
Following Gasperini's rebuke following the 3-0 defeat to Brighton in England, Sporting Director Tony D'Amico is working hard to finalize deals for a winger and striker.
In addition to Cacciamani and Mora, the Giallorossi are also moving forward with negotiations for Real Madrid's Endrick.
After loaning Franco Mastantuono to Fiorentina, the Blancos are reportedly considering leaving the Brazilian talent as well.
In this sense, as reported by Matteo Moretto, the player's will will be decisive.

The Denver Broncos' new facility was built with the idea of bringing the entire organization under one roof. Broncos president Damani Leech believes the team has accomplished its goal. While addressing media members last Saturday, Leech spoke about the project at length.
"This building is just… It's amazing," Leech said. "It's amazing; every day I walk the building, I see different parts for the first time post-construction, and I think it's amazing. It's a testament to ownership, to Greg and Carrie (Penner), the investment they've made into football. Football first, but also our business to bring nearly 100 business staff into the building to create culture, to design a building with football in mind. The ******* es are really well thought of. Very intentional layout. The player path of travel was really, really important. I love coming to work every day, and I think everybody else does too."
The first floor is specifically tailored for the players, second floor is for football operations, and the top level is the business side of the franchise. Take a look at an inside video of the building courtesy of DNVR's Zac Stevens.
Leech spoke about the features of the building which make it special in his eyes, including a fun feature he "begged for."
"What I think is unique about this building is that it is distinctly Colorado," Leech said. "I think people walk the building and they feel like they understand that this is the Denver Broncos' training facility. We're here in Colorado, a lot of the natural wood. I love on the third floor, which we'll see, the elevated ceilings, the mass timber is a great place for me to come and work every day. I was begging for the golf simulator and I got it, so there's really nothing that we didn't get."

One more "Damage" fight incoming.
Longtime Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight veteran and all-around violent fighter Darren Elkins returns to action against Cuban prospect Yadier del Valle in the "Featured" fight of UFC Vegas 120 this weekend (Sat., Aug. 8, 2026) inside Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
And this weekend will be his final UFC fight.
"This is it, brother," Elkins told MMAmania.com during UFC Vegas 120 media day. "I'm older in age now, but mostly, I'm starting to get hurt more often. Training more and more is taking a toll on my body more than it used to, so it's time.
"I mean, I've been contemplating it for awhile, and I talked with my family," Elkins continued. "I've always wanted to lay my gloves in the Octagon, and most people don't get that chance — they either get cut or have to say it on social media. So, I wanted to do it and ride off into the sunset."

Multiple sources confirm Roma have asked Torino for the availability of 19-year-old winger Alessio Cacciamani, who spent last season on loan at Juve Stabia.
The Giallorossi are seeking an attacking figure for the left flank and went through several alternatives, but were always out-bid.

Antonio Nusa is also a very costly idea from RB Leipzig, so Sportitalia and Sky Sport Italia note they are turning towards a more local option.
Cacciamani is a product of the Ancona and Torino youth academies, working his way up the ranks and impressing last season on loan in Serie B with Juve Stabia, scoring two goals with two ******* ists in 36 games.

Norwegian footballer Erling Haaland has gone on a luxury holiday after his World Cup heartbreak.
The sports superstar, who crashed out of the World Cup when England defeated Norway in early July, has been making the most of his time off before the new Premier League season kicks off later this month.
Over the weekend, the 26-year-old enjoyed a luxury break in the South of France with a bunch of male friends, including PrettyLittleThing founder Umar Kamani.
The group spent time on Kamani's yacht and at the upscale Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. Haaland also shared a photo of him meeting basketball legend Michael Jordan.
The Manchester City striker has been close friends with Kamani for years and they have previously been on holidays together in Dubai, Monaco and St Tropez.
The businessman described him as his "brother" on Instagram to celebrate his birthday on 21 July.

Cercle Brugge going into this season hoping to avoid the mistakes of the past two campaigns. After finishing in the bottom four twice, there are hopes that the club can turns things around under Danish head coach Lars Friis. He has a few new players to work with, but it does not appear that the side have done much to rectify their struggles up front. Perhaps Cercle Brugge are hoping for some internal growth from the strikers already on the books, or are still working on some new signings. They will once again be one of the youngest sides going into the new season.
Transfers in: Lazare Amani (Kifisia FC), Gaetan Coucke (Sampdoria)
Transfers out: Warleson (Botafogo), Nils De Wilde (Aalst), Beni Mpanzu (FC Dordrecht), Flavio ***** nho (Monaco)
Key player: Lazare Amani
He may be one of the few new signings, but the former Union St Gilloise man could be crucial for Cercle Brugge this season. In many ways, he is the replacement for Leandro Lopes who left a few seasons ago and was never really replaced. High energy and tough tackling at his best, if Amani can find his best form, he really could be a driving force for a young Cercle Brugge team in midfield.

Indianapolis Colts' cornerback Charvarius Ward said after the 2025 season that retirement was on his mind, but how close was he to making that decision?
"Probably 85% sure I was going to retire," Ward said via Stephen Holder after Thursday's training camp practice.
Ward sustained three separate concussions last season. He also lost his daughter in 2024.
"I found a different why, a different purpose," Ward said. "Doing it for Junior, doing it for Amani, my daughter. They bring me joy. They bring a smile to my face."
On the practice field, Ward -- as well as Sauce Gardner -- are off to very strong starts.

NEW YORK, July 23 (Reuters) - The Trump administration will withdraw subpoenas issued to New York Times' journalists who reported on security concerns about the president flying on a Qatari-donated Air Force One, a prosecutor said at ‌a court hearing on Thursday.
The subpoenas issued by Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton on July 10 were the latest ‌instance of the Trump administration seeking to compel journalists to divulge confidential sources in leak investigations, a practice press-freedom advocates say can chill reporting.
A prosecutor with Clayton's office informed U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian of the decision after the judge spent roughly 1-1/2 hours questioning government attorneys about procedural issues in the leak investigation, including their handling of subpoenas for reporters' phone records.
"The government is prepared unilaterally to withdraw the subpoenas," prosecutor Sean Buckley said, noting that the probe was ongoing and that the government could subpoena the reporters again.

The Tennessee **** ans will officially begin training camp on July 28th when the veterans report to Vanderbilt Health Football Camp in Nashville. We’re concluding our positional preview with the secondary, cornerbacks and safeties. The **** ans have 17 defensive backs on the offseason roster. General manager Mike Borgonzi made various acquisitions across these positions.
In camp (17): Alontae Taylor, Cor’Dale Flott, Amani Hooker, Kevin Winston Jr., Marcus Harris, Tony Adams, Joshua Williams, Jerrick Reed II, Jalen McMurray, Latrell McCutchin, Jeadyn Lukus, Kendell Brooks, Sanoussi Kane, Erick Hallett II, Bishop Fitzgerald, Keydrain Calligan, Micah Robinson.
Biggest storyline: The **** ans totally revamped the cornerback room, signing Alontae Taylor and Cor’Dale Flott to very lucrative contracts in free agency. They’ll be tasked with being Robert Saleh’s starting boundary corners. This position needed a makeover after trading Jarvis Brownlee and Roger McCreary, and cutting L’Jarius Sneed. Expectations are high for Taylor and Flott.
Most to prove: Both Kevin Winston Jr. and Marcus Harris are sophomores entering the year in starting roles. The **** ans cut Xavier Woods during the offseason to make room for Winston in the starting lineup opposite Amani Hooker. Harris doesn’t appear to have any competition for the nickel role either.
Breakout star: Winston Jr. is probably the correct choice. The former Penn State standout flashed an exciting skill set when he was healthy as a rookie. Winston is entering camp fully available and should make a massive impact next to Hooker in the lineup. He possesses every trait to be a breakout defender.

Tennessee ****** ans training camp kicked off on Thursday when rookies reported to the team facility, but it wasn’t all good news.
The ****** ans announced that offensive tackle JC Latham and safety Amani Hooker will open camp on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. While the injuries do not sound serious, they will impact the early days of camp.
While those injuries are important, they are far from the biggest storyline heading into camp. If you listen to Turron Davenport of ESPN, the biggest question centers on Cam Ward and his development.
Tennessee ****** ans
Biggest storyline: Can offensive coordinator Brian Daboll help Cam Ward become an elite QB? Coach Robert Saleh handpicked Daboll to work with the QB because of his previous experience, most notably with Josh Allen in Buffalo. Daboll said two key components to making the situation work are establishing a relationship with Ward the person and seeing the game through Ward's lens.

Barnsley have signed Leicester City forward Amani Richards for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal
The 21-year-old never featured for the Foxes' first team but had a loan spell in League One with Exeter City in 2024-25 when he played six games.
He is the third player to join the Tykes this week following defender Tyrese Noslin and goalkeeper Cieran Slicker.
"We believe Barnsley is the right place for him to take the next step in his career, and we are excited to start working with him," boss Daniel Stendel told the club website.

The Philadelphia 76ers began summer league play on Thursday when they took on the Detroit Pistons in Las Vegas. It offered up the first opportunity for them to see what they have in their younger pieces in a competitive setting. They have been practicing all week, and now is the time to get in an actual game.
The summer Sixers began with a 101-93 win over the Pistons at The Pavilion. There were some sloppy moments, as there always are in the summer league, but the Sixers have to be happy with what they saw from the young players in the summer league opener.
Rookie guard Labaron Philon Jr. finished with 18 points and seven **** ists while Johni Broome had 19 points and 13 rebounds. Isaac Johnson had 20 points off the bench and Dante Maddox Jr. had 21 points while Amani Lyles had 11 points.
Here are the player grades following the win:
Welcome to the league, Mr. Philon. The No. 22 overall pick went to work early as he knocked down his first three triples on the night. He had the ball on a string, too, as he really showed off his handles when pressured by Detroit’s guards. The shooting tailed off after the hot start, but his ability to get into the paint and make things happen either by finishing at the basket or making a play for a teammate was impressive in this one. The Sixers have to be happy with what they saw in this one. He will challenge Tyrese Maxey for having the best handles on the team. There is a lot of work to do, but Philon showed off a lot of his game in this one.

In 2016, Chelsea Handler filmed her ayahuasca ceremony for the Netflix docuseries Chelsea Does. In the decade that's followed, psychedelic healing has continued to bleed into the mainstream, from pop culture to TV, film, and music. This year, AppleTV's hit show Widow's Bay has shown a "shamanic journey," with Mayor Tom Loftis, played by Matthew Rhys, going on a psilocybin trip for clarity amidst supernatural events. AMC's tech satire The Audacity opens its very first episode with its CEO character, Duncan Park, played by Billy Magnussen, having a private ayahuasca ceremony.
And in the world of nonfiction, we've heard notable A-list testimonials in the press. Miley Cyrus has talked about her experience on Joe Rogan's podcast. Aaron Rodgers detailed nine separate journeys with it on his own Netflix series. Prince Harry told The Telegraph how this natural, indigenous form of healing helped him process losing his mother, Princess Diana. The brew that used to live in the jungle is now in the urban world, a secret no more. It's whispered about on the red carpet, and making headlines as a growing list of celebrities are now willing to talk about it on the record.

On Wednesday, one of Texas A&M's priority prospects in the 2027 recruiting class, five-star cornerback Joshua Dobson, will announce his commitment just days after the Aggies landed key commitments from rising three-star wide receiver Damani Warren and five-star wideout Eric McFarland, who committed to A&M on Sunday afternoon.
While the Aggies have led with Dobson for quite some time, a recent report and official prediction have given South Carolina the edge, which isn't shocking in today's NIL-driven recruiting age that gives nearly any Power Four program a chance during the final 24 hours of a prospect's commitment decision. Still, no one can count out Texas A&M going into Wednesday, similar to landing five-star linebacker Kaden Henderson after he received a prediction to commit to Notre Dame.
Even if Dobson commits to South Carolina on Wednesday, you can be sure that coach Mike Elko and cornerbacks coach Bryant Gross-Armiento will continue to pursue the five-star defensive back heading into the 2026 season up until Early Signing Day in December.
Another name to watch in the coming weeks is 2027 four-star linebacker Mikahi Allen, who, according to AggieYell insider Jaxson Callaway, continued to trend towards committing to Texas A&M ahead of his July 11 commitment date. While Syracuse has made headway with the New Jersey native, the Aggies continue to hold the lead.
"At the moment, it’s hard not to like where Texas A&M stands. Syracuse has continued to prioritize Allen and has generated some momentum, but the latest buzz continues to favor the Aggies."
