Me and him created a bond that's crazy. I love him and he loves me. And the man that started it all was Kenny (Johnson). He's been family since I met him and has been recruiting me since 7th grade. He changed my life basically. The whole Indiana coaching staff is great. The university is great. Bloomington is the most peaceful place I've ever been to.

They just had everything I needed, plus more and I love their play style."

Elite 2027 quarterback likes how Mike Norvell coaches
The FSU Seminoles recently landed the quarterback of their 2026 recruiting class in Jaden O'Neal, and now they are working on landing one for the 2027 cycle. One of their top targets is Jayce Johnson, a four-star prospect from Valdosta, Georgia. He recently named them one of his top five schools and locked in his commitment date for Aug. 3. Johnson will be deciding between the Seminoles, Texas A&M Aggies, Tennessee Volunteers, Mississippi State Bulldogs, and South Carolina Gamecocks. He recently spoke with On3's Steve Wiltfong about his recruitment and explained what he likes about each school. For the Seminoles, it was all about head coach Mike Norvell and quarterback coach Tony Tokarz. 'The way Coach (Mike) Norvell coaches and the way Coach (Tony) Tokarz breaks down how he wants his quarterbacks to work within his offense," he said. Johnson is the No. 50 player and No. 5 quarterback in On3's industry ranking. The 6-foot-3, 205-pounder is also the No. 6 player from Georgia. He had a productive sophomore season for Lowndes High School, leading them to a 10-2 record.

Social media reacts to Nebraska landing wide receiver Nalin Scott
Nebraska football was able to flip a commitment from class of 2026 four-star wide receiver Nalin Scott. He made the announcement on social media Friday afternoon. Scott is the No. 63 overall wide receiver in the 2026 class and the No. 47 overall player in his class from the state of Georgia, according to the On3 recruiting rankings. He had a productive season for McEachern High School last year. He tallied 29 receptions for 541 yards and two touchdowns. The wide receiver had been committed to Arizona State before switching his commitment to Nebraska. The decision should not have come as much of a surprise, as Scott visited Nebraska last week, and ASU does not allow commits to take visits to other schools, so a change was likely coming. With this commitment, Nebraska now has its second blue-chip prospect of the class. The class itself has nine commitments in total and ranks No. 18 overall in the Big Ten. Social media reacted to the news of Scott heading to the Huskers, find some of the best reactions below. Flips Peer recruiting Arizona State to Nebraska Flip Alert!

Texas A&M receives prediction to land elite 2027 4-star QB out of Georgia
Texas A&M's quarterback future presents an interesting discussion in today's transfer portal age, as 2025 starting QB Marcel Reed will need to succeed this season to continue in his role, while the depth chart includes redshirt freshman Miles O'Neill, who looks like the next man in line if Reed fails to deliver. However, 2026 four-star commit Helaman Casuga, who was one of the top performers during On3's Elite 11 event last week, looks like the future starter after Reed and O'Neill, so looking ahead to the 2027 cycle, coach Mike Elko and OC Collin Klein have their eyes on four-star quarterback Jayce Johnson, who is one his way to becoming a five-star prospect by this time next year. After landing in his top-five program list this week, Johnson is down to Tennessee, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Florida State, and Texas A&M. According to a source, Johnson and Collin Klein have developed a strong relationship based on what the Valdosta, Georgia native could do in his offense. On Saturday, it was revealed that Rivals recruiting insider Sam Spiegelman has predicted that Texas A&M will land Jayce Johnson, who is expected to announce his commitment on August 3. This isn't a shock given the staff's closeness to his development, combined with Elko's recruiting pipeline in Georgia, which features three high-ranking 2026 commits from the Peach State. Set to enter his all-important junior season at Lowndes High School, Johnson made his mark during his 2024 sophomore season after throwing for 1,799 yards, 16 touchdowns, and three interceptions, paired with over 300 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. According to Rivals, Johnson is currently positioned as the 29th-ranked prospect in the 2027 class, the 5th-ranked quarterback, and the 4th-ranked prospect in Georgia.
