Hey Commanders fans, what do you know about Robert Henry Jr?
With the Washington Commanders rookies having already reported for the 2026 training camp, let's learn about Henry. Initially, it is perfectly understandable if no one in the Commanders fan base knew of Henry in his first two years of college. You see, he played for Jones College in Ellisville, Mississippi, a junior college in 2021 and 2022. Henry then transferred, finding a new football home at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).
Playing at UTSA from 2023-2025, Henry blossomed in his senior season, accumulating 1,045 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on 151 carries, averaging 6.9 yards per attempt. One of the things that Commanders scouts no doubt noticed about Henry was his development in his ability to break off an explosive run for big yardage. Henry produced five rushes of 70-plus yards in 2025. This was not only the best, but was three more than any other FBS player. Henry was named a first-team All-American Athletic Conference and was a Doak Walker Award semifinalist.
Standing 5-foot-9, weighing 196 pounds, Henry is not exactly Derrick Henry in stature. This is another reason Henry went undrafted in April's 2026 NFL Draft. When the seventh and final draft rounds had concluded, there was Henry still available, and the Commanders ****** ed him, signing him to an undrafted free agent deal.
The Commanders' running back room has Jacory Croskey-Merritt "Bill" and Jeremy McNichols returning from the 2025 team. Chris Rodriguez departed, signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a free agent. Offseason additions have included signing free agents Rachaad White and Jerome Ford. The draft brought Kaytron Allen from Penn State in the sixth round.

Under Deion Sanders, the Colorado Buffaloes have rebuilt their roster each offseason through the transfer portal. It's the new way to build a roster in college football, placing greater emphasis on current production than on internal development.
That new philosophy has completely changed the average age of college football rosters, with most now slightly older since the transfer portal's implementation. Considering Colorado added 40-plus transfers this offseason, are the Buffs an old or young team?
Unsurprisingly, Colorado is on the older side with an average age of 20.63, according to data from RotoWire. The Buffs are tied for the 16th oldest roster in the FBS. CU is also the fifth-oldest team in the Power Four and the third-oldest in the Big 12. The two older Big 12 teams are Oklahoma State and UCF.
Considering Colorado frequently uses the transfer portal, an average age close to 21 (normally a college senior) is not surprising.
Georgia is the youngest team in the country (19.81 average age), which is not surprising given their propensity to land highly ranked freshman recruiting classes. The oldest team is UTSA (21.02 average age), as a team that prioritizes development and has many players who have been with the program for 3-4 years.

Summer is here, and it is everyone's favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Bucs fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Tampa Bay.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Bucs, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Bucs fans can be the most informed fans.
So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Granja Comary, in Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, will host the first edition of the Futsal and Beach Soccer Integration Workshop from July 8 to 11. The initiative aims to establish a unified and integrated working model for all Brazilian National Teams in the two sports, optimizing athletic performance and resource management through the integration of methodologies, protocols, and decision-making processes.
The meeting will be led by CBF’s Futsal and Beach Soccer Director, Mauro Carmélio, the manager of the Brazilian Futsal and Beach Soccer National Teams, Lavoisier Freire, and the national team coordinators, Marquinhos Xavier and Chicão.
For CBF’s Futsal and Beach Soccer Director, Mauro Carmélio, the meeting reinforces the organization’s commitment to the development of the sports.
"This Workshop represents an important moment for strengthening futsal and beach soccer within the CBF. Bringing together professionals from different areas and categories in the same environment allows us to align methodologies, share experiences, and build increasingly efficient processes.
When we work in an integrated way, we strengthen our National Teams and create a solid foundation to keep Brazil competitive and prepared for the challenges of the future," says Mauro Carmélio.

We are down to 66 days until Texas football is back and it's another Wildcard Wednesday. I wanted to focus on the two "lay-up games" on the Longhorns schedule, Texas State and UTSA. The Longhorns are favored to win both games by a wide margin, but I do believe both represent interesting challenges that could be important for Texas this season.
Let's start with the team that'll kick off the "All-In" season, the Texas State Bobcats. Texas State is a team that could very well factor into the CFP conversation among the Group of 5 teams. Beau Jackson at QB is an elite athlete, coming off a 3,200+ passing yard, 700+ rushing yard season.
Beau Sparks is his running mate at WR, coming off a 1,200-yard season but Chris Dawn Jr. is also back off a 1,000-yard campaign. Lincoln Pare left the RB room but Greg Burrell, who rushed for 671 yards last season, is back as the starter.
Point being, this offense is going to be potent. Obviously Texas should have more than enough answers for them but it'll be a nice test prior to Ohio State. The DL, particularly the edge defenders will need to contain Brad Jackson. The secondary will need to step up in man coverage against a strong WR duo. On top of that, the Texas offense will be facing an experienced defense that, at the very least, will test the Longhorns execution.
Moving forward to the Roadrunners, they are the easier of the two opponents on paper. That being said, there are aspects of this team that will create questions for the Texas defense. Owen McCown is back for another season as the starter, alongside his star WRs, David Amador II and AJ Wilson. Robert Henry Jr. is out of the RB group but Will Henderson III notched 866 rushing yards last season. The offense is going to be potent, and more importantly, experienced.

NFL world reacts to Bears releasing CB Zah Frazier
The Chicago Bears have moved on from one of their 2025 draft picks before he ever stepped onto the field. Cornerback Zah Frazier was released on Thursday, ending his brief time with the team.
Frazier was selected by the Bears in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of UTSA and was expected to compete for a roster spot last summer. Unfortunately, Frazier didn't practice at all during training camp due to a personal matter and wound up missing the entire season because of it.
Still, the Bears had planned on him being in the mix for the 2026 season, though he had plenty of competition from players such as Terell Smith and rookie Malik Muhammad. Instead, Frazier becomes the first member of the 2025 class to move on from the organization and will attempt to restart his NFL career with another team. Here is how fans reacted to the surprising news of Frazier's release.
