According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, despite other team's recent inquiries, the Indianapolis Colts have no intentions of trading breakout defensive tackle Ade Adebawore ahead of the league's trade deadline:
With longtime veteran DeForest Buckner's departure, the 25-year-old Adebawore, who was originally a 2023 4th round pick by Indianapolis, is expected to immediately start full-time as his replacement going forward in 2026.
While those are big shoes to fill at 3T, Adebawore has had a standout campaign in a rotational role, recording 17 tackles (7 solo), a pass defensed, 4.0 sacks, and 15 total QB pressures during 7 games (1 start) this season.
Athletic, fast, twitchy, and featuring a surprisingly strong bull rush for his size at 6,'2", 282 pounds, Adebawore has really been flashing his immense athleticism so far this season and turning it into significant on-the-field production—albeit during rotational reps previously:
As a pending free agent in the last year of his current rookie contract, Adebawore appears to be an ascending young player and potential building block, who the rebuilding Colts would ******* uredly like to keep long-term defensively, with an ample amount of projected 2027 available team salary cap ******* e at $61.9M right now.

We now have a better idea of exactly who the biggest creators are on social media. ESHAP and What's Trending have partnered to unveil the second annual Creator Map, a guide to the biggest creators by platform. And TheWrap has your first look at their findings.
The Creator Map will be unveiled later today at the first Jupiter Festival Miami, which is sponsored by YouTube. Evan Shapiro, media cartographer and ESHAP founder and CEO; Shira Lazar, What's Trending founder and CEO; and Jon Goss, CEO of the Lighthouse will unveil the project on the main stage of the event.
Described as the "definitive visual guide to the creator ecosphere," the Creator Map offers a data-informed view of the creator economy, an industry that can often feel confusing and chaotic from an outsider perspective. For the first time, the top 200 creators across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok will have both their follower counts and Affinity Quotient scores published on the map. Sponsored by Whalar Group and with data powered by Whalar's creator operating system Foam, the Affinity Quotient measures the depth of audience engagement and places a greater emphasis on active signals such as shares and saves than on passive interactions. That's an important insight as engagement rather than follower count has become the top metric in the creator economy. The Creator Affinity 100 list was first presented at this this year's IBC and identified 100 creators generating the greatest affinity among their audiences.
The map also identifies top creators across Snap, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Twitch, Pinterest and Rumble, along with the top Substack publishers and podcasters. Additionally, it identifies some of the top agencies, studios, technology tools, payment platforms and other companies powering the creator ecosystem. Check it out below:

Emmie P grew up in a household so religious she was not allowed to dress up for Halloween. Now dressing up as someone else is a central part of her career.
The cosplayer, Twitch partner and car enthusiast sat down with host Wayne Ayers on "The Wayne Ayers Podcast" to talk about convention life, how she picks her costumes, why she prefers DC to Marvel, the ***** anese sports car she keeps modifying and what aspiring streamers should do before they go live.
Ayers first met her at Anime Expo in Los Angeles, where a video of their conversation went viral. He said people still ask him about her.
"That was actually my first convention that I ever went to as a creator that you caught me at," she said. "It was a really cool experience. But I've just been getting more into the actual convention game of cosplay. Usually I just do it from my home, but I'm getting super comfortable with it now."
She has since been to Anime NYC, which she described as a huge ***** e with plenty to do but fewer activities than the Los Angeles show, where she played Beyblade on stream with a friend. Cellphone service was another problem for someone who streams from the convention floor.

India Love, a social media personality, had a rude awakening when she saw pictures of herself from ComplexCon and immediately decided to begin her fitness journey. Love noted that her weight has increased from 150 pounds to 173 pounds and doesn't plan on waiting until her subathon to do something about it.
On her recent Twitch stream, Love explained how the photos were an eye-opening experience for her.
"Y'all, I looked at pictures of me at Complex. Time I said, 'Whoa, baby, that'll do it. That'll do it,'" she stated. "I'm not gonna wait for my subathon to start my journey. The time is now."
Love didn't hold back on her reaction.
"I got rolls falling out the side of my s*** like this ain't it," she admitted. "Ain't done to it but to do it. Me versus me."

US authorities have arrested a 30-year-old from Washington state in connection with the February school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia.
James Cody Bryant was arrested in Bellingham, Washington, on Tuesday morning on a charge of conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country, according to the US Justice Department. The February attack on a secondary school in the small town at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains was Canada’s deadliest school shooting in decades, leaving eight people dead, including six children, and dozens wounded.
Bryant appeared in court Tuesday afternoon in Seattle. CNN has reached out to Bryant’s lawyer for comment. A hearing has been set for October 20.
Bryant was allegedly “in repeated contact with” the 18-year-old Canadian shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, “offering advice, sending money and even agreeing to live stream the horrific event” on Twitch, said Neil Floyd, the acting US attorney for the Western District of Washington, at a press conference in Seattle.
The money Bryant gave the shooter amounted to a little over $100, primarily to buy a lighter and a pair of shoes that Van Rootselaar “wanted to have when she conducted this killing spree,” Floyd said. The two discussed sending weapons to Van Rootselaar, but Bryant was uncomfortable with doing so and refused, according to a complaint filed in court on Friday.

"I want to be alone." The despairing words spoken by Greta Garbo while being spied on by a thief in her 1932 film Grand Hotel, have been injected with chilling new irony. Using the latest AI technique, the starlet has been brought back to life to flog ball bearings in an advert by the industrial Swedish Company SKF. And what a terrifying spectacle it makes.
The lifelike precision is terrific, from the smoky, undulating voice to the thin pencilled eyebrows that twitch between anxiety and hauteur.
At the same time there is something deathly about the figment. What made Garbo so brilliant to watch was that you didn't know where the woman started and the character began; when the camera was rolling she didn't so much perform as emerge. Her AI rendition has magnetism without presence.
True, the animation deploys cutting-edge AI techniques to evade successfully what is known as the "uncanny valley" trap, the nausea that people feel when faced with simulations that nearly – but do not quite – resemble real humans. But simulations like Greta's arguably occupy a new ******* e that one might call the "immaculate void".
Garbo's family gave their permission for the ad. But it's impossible to know how Garbo herself would have felt about it. As we extract commercial value from the departed without their consent, it begs the question: are we any better than Egyptian grave robbers, who sacrilegiously plundered the dead?

Popular Twitch streamer Kai Cenat broke his silence on allegations made by fellow streamer Reggie Travers.
The claims center on 17-year-old QuVonn RaKai Linder, known online as RaKai, who is a frequent collaborator with Cenat. Travers alleged in a YouTube video on Sep. 27 that Cenat is ignoring ***** ual abuse Linder has faced in their inner circle. "Kai, you wrong as ***** , 'cause you know somebody took advantage of RaKai," Travers said, referencing the young streamer.
Travers escalated the allegations during a Sep. 30 Instagram livestream, calling Cenat a "pedophile." "He been grooming RaKai," Travers added in the clip, alleging that Cenat has been encouraging RaKai to do ***** ***** ual acts "for clout."
Cenat, 24, who is the seventh-most-subscribed person on Twitch with over 21.9 million followers, officially addressed the allegations on a livestream on Sep. 30. "Tomorrow, when you wake up, call the cops. Call the cops and show them evidence because guess what? I am calling the cops!" he said on air, addressing Travers. "I'm suing you, bro!"
"I still have sympathy for you because I know you're not yourself, bro. But it's gone too far," Cenat added.

Kai Cenat has already conquered the Twitch world, becoming the platform's most-subscribed streamer with over 21 million followers. On Saturday, Sept. 12, he made his official foray into fashion as his clothing label, Vivet, held its first-ever runway show at New York Fashion Week, which was attended by Ms. Lauryn Hill, Law Roach, and Jaden Smith.
The 24-year-old influencer livestreamed the show across his social media channels, bringing in close to 800,000 viewers from Twitch alone. He's accumulated his following from livestreams where he'd do everything from acting out comedic skits, playing video games, talking to his fans or interviewing A-list celebrities like LeBron James, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Kevin Hart and Ice Spice.

The energy outside Cipriani, in Lower Manhattan, across from the Charging Bull statue on Broadway, seemed conspicuously suspended in a different time. It was as if crossing the threshold into the Financial District sent me back a decade, to the genesis of this current generation's cultural aesthetic—to the lines at VFiles, the SoHo clothing store whose Howard St. storefront once served as epicenter of the nascent fusion of the worlds of streetwear, hip-hop, and high fashion. All of this was because Kai Cenat, the popular Twitch streamer and content creator, was making his runway debut. The fashion show for his brand Vivet's first collection drew a crowd of the current generation's innovators, giving a reminiscent feeling to the last time a popular figure came crashing through the gates of mainstream fashion.
In attendance that night were popular streamers like Jasontheween, Rakai, and Duke Dennis, alongside more traditional celebrity names: Jaden Smith, Luka Sabbat, Lauryn Hill (!). Popular fashion podcasters and journalists from the New York Times filtered through the crowd as well. It reminded me of the pre-pandemic days of fashion week pop-ups in the shadow of Ye's YZY Szn launches, when the crowds outside seemed as consequential as whoever had a seat inside. Social media had given a generation of streetwear obsessives and aspiring artists a way to build their own audiences, and fashion was beginning to accommodate them. At Cipriani, the streamers had brought another audience into the room.

Your replacement for Saturday morning cartoons or that warm cup of coffee has arrived. Or you can just enjoy those things on top of what I'm about to bring to your digital doorstep.
Yes, it's Madden Sim season again.
For the uninitiated, every Saturday morning before a Sunday Detroit Lions game, I'll hop on our YouTube and Twitch channels and fire up a game of Madden 27. I will do my best to adjust the roster as closely as they will be during the actual game, but then I let the computer take over the rest. I do not grab the sticks, I do not call the plays or take over for a specific player. I let the game simulate the result completely, all while providing my own live commentary.
It's also an opportunity for live viewers to do a Q&A. I like to answer any questions you may have about the upcoming game, the Lions' season, or anything else that's on your mind.

Nicole Kidman has been working in Hollywood for almost 40 years, and in that time she has stunned audiences with her natural hair in movies like Eyes Wide Shut and had everyone scratching their heads when she was put into Party City-quality wigs for other roles.
Over the years, Kidman has talked about wearing wigs in her roles to protect her real hair, but while some are indistinguishable from natural hair, others are truly tragic. We're looking at you, Little Orphan Annie wig from 2016's Lion.
Kidman's wig game ranges from distractingly bad to ones any drag queen would be proud of. But what we're really focused on are the times her wigs were so good you wouldn't even know she was wearing one if you didn't already know she had a head full of red ringlets in real life.
Columbia Pictures
When Kidman played the nose-twitching witch in this Bewtiched remake, she gave us a curly blond bob with bangs that both fits the character and her face.

Hasan Piker hears the growing chorus of Democrats condemning him for incendiary statements, and he has a message for the party: "My job is not to make the Democratic Party look good."
The far-left Twitch streamer has boosted socialist candidates even as he created headaches for the broader Democratic Party in a midterm election cycle where it hopes to make major gains. The 35-year-old Piker — whose polarizing stances range from defending communist Chinese dictator Mao Zedong to comparing Zionism to "Nazism" — is a darling of the Democratic Socialists of America, but a potential liability for mainstream Democrats as November approaches.
Piker said Democratic Party officials have not reached out to coordinate a strategy.
"I have not had a conversation with anyone from the DNC," Piker said. "That would be very funny."

Hours after Jaylen Brown was awarded the Key to the City and State by Boston's Mayor, the former Boston Celtics star sat down for a Twitch stream, where he discussed what comes next in his basketball career with the Philadelphia 76ers.
While talking about the process of moving from Boston to Philadelphia, he began discussing his expectations for 2026-27.
"I'm grateful to the city of Philadelphia already, and I haven't even been there that long. I'm grateful that they've been a warm embrace because, for me, it's all about respect. I'm a type of guy that's going to earn his respect. So all my Philly fans in the chat, send some love."
"I look forward to earning every ounce of respect from the city that I possibly can. I don't need no handouts. I don't need no special treatment, no catering, like not being somebody who the organization is always catering to or babying. I don't need none of that; I'm prepared for war," Brown said on Twitch.
"I'm prepared for everything to go right and for everything to go wrong. That's just how life is, and I'm looking forward to the whole journey… You don't get opportunities as you get older. I'm 10 years in; I'm about to be on my 11th season."

A Twitch streamer found himself at the center of a viral controversy after a heated clash with his mother played out live online. 18-year-old Nitro_Camden's sudden surge in viewers quickly gave way to disturbing footage, raising widespread concerns about his treatment at home.
The incident ultimately drew both skepticism and support online, while several prominent streamers stepped in with money, subscriptions, and career opportunities for Camden.
Twitch streamer Nitro_Camden's sudden exposure to thousands of viewers took a disturbing turn when his mother confronted him during a livestream.
The 18-year-old was reportedly broadcasting to a small audience when popular streamer StableRonaldo raided his channel, sending roughly 15,000 viewers his way. Camden celebrated the unexpected surge, but the noise apparently drew his mother's attention.
Footage circulating from the August 21 stream shows her entering his room and interfering with his equipment before the confrontation escalated. She could be heard berating Camden, calling him a "failure" and claiming he brought "no value to the household."

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn acknowledged a major problem after Saturday's preseason loss to the Detroit Lions.
"Sam's really having a good camp," Quinn said in reference to right guard Sam Cosmi. "Like, maybe playing the best I've seen him play in the couple, three years [since Quinn arrived in 2024]. Technique, he's on it. I like what I'm seeing on the outside, you know, at left tackle. So, we got work to do to figure out where we want to get to at center."
Quinn finally acknowledged what everyone else has been saying for months. The center position is a grave concern ahead of the regular season. We've discussed it for months; GM Adam Peters' decision to cut Tyler Biadasz and go with Nick Allegretti could have major consequences. Allegretti isn't even the problem, at least as far as we know. He's barely practiced. But instead of signing a veteran center to push Allegretti, or at least provide insurance, Washington chose to roll with Julian Good-Jones and rookie sixth-rounder Matt Gulbin. The pair have combined for two career NFL snaps.
The problems have been apparent throughout camp with Allegretti sidelined. They showed up again on Saturday. After Saturday's game, we mentioned longtime NFL starter Graham Glasgow as a potential name that could interest Washington. It's not the first time that we mentioned Glasgow as a possibility for the Commanders.
The 6-foot-6, 315-pound 10-year veteran was released by the Lions in a cost-cutting move earlier this year. He hasn't indicated that he plans to retire. So, on Sunday, while Glasgow was streaming on Twitch, someone mentioned him as a possibility for the Commanders and offensive coordinator David Blough — his former teammate.

"Sam's really having a good camp," Quinn said in reference to right guard Sam Cosmi. "Like, maybe playing the best I've seen him play in the couple, three years [since Quinn arrived in 2024]. Technique, he's on it. I like what I'm seeing on the outside, you know, at left tackle. So, we got work to do to figure out where we want to get to at center."
Quinn finally acknowledged what everyone else has been saying for months. The center position is a grave concern ahead of the regular season. We've discussed it for months; GM Adam Peters' decision to cut Tyler Biadasz and go with Nick Allegretti could have major consequences. Allegretti isn't even the problem, at least as far as we know. He's barely practiced. But instead of signing a veteran center to push Allegretti, or at least provide insurance, Washington chose to roll with Julian Good-Jones and rookie sixth-rounder Matt Gulbin. The pair have combined for two career NFL snaps.
The problems have been apparent throughout camp with Allegretti sidelined. They showed up again on Saturday. After Saturday's game, we mentioned longtime NFL starter Graham Glasgow as a potential name that could interest Washington. It's not the first time that we mentioned Glasgow as a possibility for the Commanders.

In the summer of 1993, Manchester United won the ******* le and then signed Roy Keane in a British record transfer. In 2001, United won the ******* le and then bought Ruud van Nistelrooy. In 2008, the summer after winning the Premier League and Champions League, they signed Dimitar Berbatov not because they really needed him but because they could.
Each time, Alex Ferguson took steps not just to maintain the gap to their rivals but to grow it. Each time, United defended their Premier League crown.
Even before kick-off here at the Emirates Stadium, there was that familiar sense of a ******* le-winning manager ******* down the lid on the Premier League trophy they owned. Mikel Arteta's newest signing, Ezri Konsa, was paraded on the pitch to a standing ovation – quite the flex to sign the second best right-sided centre-half in the Premier League while the best, William Saliba, is sidelined with injury.
And after a few minutes of this opening 3-0 win over Coventry City, it was clear that Arteta had strengthened his attack too. Christos Tzolis impressed in pre-season games and topped most of ******* nal's fitness metrics. Here he buzzed into action on the left wing, legs whirring with the urgency of a man fleeing a swarm of bees, all fast-twitch jolts and excitable energy, exactly the sort of opponent Coventry's right-back Milan van Ewijk didn't want to face on his first Friday night live on Sky Sports.
Arsenal had a plethora of attacking options on the field: Kai Havertz led the line, Bukayo Saka started on the right and Martin Odegaard flitted in and out of the right half-space. But for all the passing lanes on offer, the gameplan became a simple one: when in the final third, seek Tzolis.

'Unnecessary': Klay Thompson called out by Olympic gold medalist after latest off-court appearance originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Klay Thompson's recent appearance on PlaqueBoyMax's Twitch stream offered the NBA community plenty to talk about.
During a long 1-on-1 conversation with the 23-year-old streamer, the Dallas Mavericks guard broke down his all-time starting five and named Draymond Green as his closest former Golden State Warriors teammate.
At the end of the stream, after the duo wrapped up a competitive three-point contest, PlaqueBoyMax asked Thompson to honestly evaluate his basketball ceiling. Thompson joked that Max had no chance of ever making it to the NBA, adding that he had professional potential—perhaps in Italy's third division.
Their collaboration trended across social media for over a day. But former NBA All-Star Michael Redd does not like it. He took to X to criticize how modern players rely on internet streamers for attention.

Six-a-side football tournament Baller League will no longer show matches on Sky Sports.
The UK edition of the competition, launched in March 2025, features star managers, including England footballer Chloe Kelly and YouTubers KSI and Angry Ginge.
The league will continue to broadcast matches on Twitch, YouTube and TikTok, but BBC Newsbeat has confirmed its contract with the broadcaster has not been renewed, as first reported by the Guardian.
In a statement, Baller League chief executive Felix Starck said Sky Sports was "always framed as an add-on to our strategy, not the centre of it".
Starck pushed back against any suggestion the event had been "dropped" by Sky.

Studbudz, Courtney Williams (left) and Natasha Heideman (right).
The StudBudz generated more than $1 million in self-reported brand deals in just 72 hours around this year's WNBA All-Star Weekend.
For Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman, the whirlwind began a year earlier. The duo, former teammates and close friends who launched their Twitch channel in 2025, took WNBA All-Star Weekend by storm by streaming for 72 straight hours, giving fans an unfiltered look at the players, personalities, and off-court moments surrounding the league's marquee event.
What started as a way to bring fans behind the scenes quickly became something more valuable, an audience brands wanted to reach.
The StudBudz have since parlayed that growing audience into partnerships with more than 20 global brands. Now, the duo is demonstrating how WNBA players can turn cultural relevance and direct connections with fans into a business of their own.

Left-wing Twitch streamer Hasan Piker appears to be gearing up to sue conservative commentator Scott Jennings for defamation.
Jennings, a CNN contributor, went viral last week after posting a heavily edited, intentionally misleading video of what looked like Piker expressing extreme hostility towards Black voters and calling for lynchings. With the full context, it is obvious that Piker was being sarcastic.
"Black voters have been voting against the socialists, only to be ruled in many cases by privileged white commies," Jennings claimed, using Black identity as a bludgeon against the Democratic left. "Did you ever notice, by the way, how violent these people are? … Now [Abdul] El-Sayed's best friend is out there calling for Black voters to be lynched. Beneath all the smiles and dancing videos, there's nothing but hate and violence in the heart of these Communists."
As Snopes reported, Jennings lied when he claimed that Piker wanted to bringing back lynchings, as "Piker's remarks on lynchings were sarcastic reactions to a user's chat comment and opinions expressed by someone else in a separate video."
Jennings's video was widely panned, with many calling for Piker to sue. The streamer called Jennings's video "the worst instance of defamation" he'd seen. On Sunday, Piker confirmed that his team is preparing a defamation lawsuit, saying it seemed "unavoidable," and that it might include Fox News.

The boogeyman wants a ****** e at the table, MS NOW.
In an expletive-filled rant, leftist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker reacted to Joe Scarborough having an on-air meltdown about him, with Piker calling out the host for interviews with "psychopaths" but not him.
On Monday's episode of "Morning Joe," host Scarborough was discussing how political figures and candidates linked to the Democratic Socialists of America are gaining traction with American voters. His remarks come a week after Abdul El-Sayedwon Michigan's Democratic Senate nomination even though he brought the polarizing Piker along on the campaign trail. El-Sayed does not identify as a socialist but does hold similar policy views to those who do.

Scarborough went on to gripe that although he's happy the left is gaining momentum ahead of the midterm elections by campaigning on values shared by the DSA like "supporting economic justice" or making "billionaires pay more in taxes," he urged Democrats who have been cozying up to Piker to distance themselves from his controversial pro-Palestine rhetoric.

The college football season is less than a month away, so with everyone's football fever rising, many people use this time to make lists of players, coaches, and teams. A lot of those lists have been favorable to Penn State, like the US LBM Coaches Poll and On3 Sports' AP Poll projection.
One of the latest rankings released by Bruce Feldman of The Athletic highlighted the Nittany Lions once again. Feldman ranked the 101-best athletes in college football heading into 2026 and his list included three Penn State players. This is a significant distinction in itself, but having a wide receiver on the list might be the most notable aspect.
Feldman has been putting out this list every year since 2005 and Penn State has never had a wideout make it. Well, Brett Eskildsen comes over from Iowa State and looks to make an immediate impact on the receiver room after coming in at No. 35 on this list. After playing sparingly in 2024, he improved tremendously and had 526 yards and five touchdowns last year with the Cyclones.
We don't get many twitchy athletes come through Happy Valley at Eskildsen's position, so this will be a welcome sight. He has a chance to become a fan favorite if he can build off his successful 2025 season.
Tony Rojas is primed for a big season and everyone knows it. The coaching staff has been talking him up all summer and he has been labeled as one of the few players in college football who has a real chance to break out this season.

FC Bayern Munich have announced they will host a Team Day on the FC Bayern Campus in Munich on August 17th. The senior men's and women's teams — both double winners from last season — will return from their Asian tours and have public trainings at the campus.

Controversial Twitch streamer Hasan Piker is calling on Democrats to ensure that those who do not support Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed face consequences for not holding the party line.
"There are haters in our ranks. Notice how whenever someone comes out and says, 'Yeah that's actually a bad **** ociation,' immediately it's weaponized by the Republicans," he said Thursday while reacting to a clip of Fox News' Bill Hemmer interviewing former Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel.
"You can't be out here saying like, 'Oh, I'm a centrist Democrat. And I think Abdul is a bridge too far.' That must be punished."
Mark Halperin Calls Hasan Piker A 'Horrible Person' As Democrats Face Pressure To Distance From Streamer
Twitch streamer Hasan Piker faced renewed scrutiny after viewers spotted a framed newspaper front page from Sept. 12, 2001, in his background.

Mike Tomlin Explains Why he Doesn't Miss Coaching Yet originally appeared on SportsNet Pittsburgh. Add SportsNet Pittsburgh as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
When Mike Tomlin stepped down after 19 seasons as head coach of the Steelers, reports indicated he planned to take some time away from coaching. Given his age, many figured it was only a matter of time until he returned to an NFL sideline.
For now, Tomlin isn't thinking about that. Now working as an ******* yst for NBC's NFL coverage, the former Steelers coach said during the network's Hall of Fame Game broadcast that he doesn't have the desire to return just yet.
"I haven't thought a whole lot about it yet, because I don't feel like I'm missing anything yet," Tomlin said. "You know, when those regular-season ******* start snapping, that's when I'll start, you know, getting a little twitch a little bit."
Tomlin admitted his mentality could change in the months ahead as the season plays out. If he sees training camps and the preseason playing out and wants no part of it, however, that might be a sign he made the right decision, given how much of a head coach's job is about what happens before the regular season.

Texas A&M's 2026 season opener vs. Missouri State is just over three weeks away, while the Aggies have already completed two preseason practices since Wednesday evening. Overall, the takeaways have been varied, ranging from starting quarterback Marcel Reed's increased accuracy and confidence as a passer to junior wide receiver Terry Bussey, who bulked up this summer and improved as a route runner.
Sticking with Texas A&M's borderline elite wide receiver corps, former Alabama wideout Isaiah Horton brings much-needed size to a rotation built on NFL-level talent, led by Mario Cravers' elite twitch and quickness, paired with Ashton Bethel-Roman and Terry Bussey's track speed. After transferring from Mississippi State before the 2025 season, Craver reeled in 59 receptions for 917 yards and 4 touchdowns, developing immediate chemistry with Marcel Reed.
Reed and Isaiah Horton go back to their high school playing days in Tennessee, and while they have yet to play together at the college level, it's clear that after two practices, both players are on the same page. Horton's catch radius was on full display during Thursday's practice, captured by Texas A&M's media team after the senior wideout snagged Reed's well-thrown pass.
Horton is in line to earn the starting X receiver job, and, on paper, will open up the passing game for Reed, allowing Mario Craver to roam the middle of the field and allowing the redshirt junior to take more 50/50 shots downfield, which was not the case last season given the lack of size on the outside.
Losing star WR KC Concepcion, who led the Aggies in receiving yards and touchdowns last season, likely won't have a massive impact on new OC Holmon Wiggins' ability to push the ball down the field on early downs given his background as one of the top wide receivers coaches.

Holding his first press conference since he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, star forward Jaylen Brown stressed that he's moving on from his time with the Boston Celtics.
He didn't shy away, however, from hints that his final days there weren't without challenges.
During a Twitch stream in early July, Brown had said he felt there was "a bit of a lack of respect" during trade talks and discussions of Brown's future, adding that he "wasn't thrilled" with the way Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens "facilitated some of the conversations."
When asked Thursday, Aug. 6 what bothered him about his final days with the Celtics, Brown wanted to look forward.
"The whole process," Brown said. "But to be honest, my mind is so focused on what's in front of me. I'm moving on. Maybe one day we can share the details of how everything transpired and all the moving parts that took place in this. Obviously, it's a lot of speculation; I feel no need to chime in on it because I'm focused on what's in front of me."

WNBA All-Star Weekend is nearly two weeks in the rearview, but the virality of the StudBudz's 72-hour Twitch stream knows no bounds. Last year, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert was caught dancing to "Knuck If You Buck," and Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve jokingly blamed AI for her viral dancing clip.
This year, ESPN's Holly Rowe produced the WNBA All-Star clip that will endure.
Rowe was on her usual sideline duty for the 2026 WNBA All-Star Game at the United Center in Chicago on July 25. The Emmy-winning reporter went viral during the game for a walk-and-talk interview gone wrong with Olivia Miles. After the game, she went viral again for dancing to Sheck Wes' "Mo Bamba" in the club.
"You know who was on the stream, though? Your girl, Holly!" Indiana Fever All-Star Aliyah Boston said the latest episode of the Post Moves with Candace Parker & Aliyah Boston podcast. "Big Holly! Big Holly!"
Boston mimicked Rowe's dance moves, while Parker hit the stank face in approval.
