BYU Football adds Stanford receiver in transfer portal
The two hoped to play together and got their wish at BYU. Tiger seems to be the replacement for Keelan Marion, who committed to Miami. Bachmeier led the Pac-12 among true freshmen with 409 receiving yards. He also contributed as a kick and punt returner.

In his first collegiate game as a punt returner (Sept. 7 vs. Cal Poly), returned a punt 90 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter for the first punt return for a touchdown by Stanford since Christian McCaffrey in the 2016 Rose Bowl Game. His return tied for the second-longest in Stanford history with Luke Powell, who did so against UCLA in 2003.

Johnny Manziel Threatens Podcast Host In Bizarre Feud Over Cam Newton
Johnny Manziel Threatens Podcast Host In Bizarre Feud Over Cam Newton originally appeared on The Spun. Johnny Manziel appears to have inserted himself into the growing feud between fellow SEC legend Cam Newton and "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" host Gillie Da Kid. Coming to the defense of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts after Cam didn't rank him as a top-10 NFL QB, Gillie — a Philly-born rapper turned podcaster — clapped back at the former No. 1 pick in a video posted to social media. "A good day, Cam Newton. I seen you came at me because I said Jalen Hurts did what you couldn't do… win a Super Bowl. So you wanna get all in your feelings? Man, shut your tight jeans wearin' a— up," Gillie said. "You had on a jersey with a bow tie, you corny a— [expletive]!" "What you do? You won MVP? Won a Super Bowl? Win the Super Bowl MVP? And you hating on him? 'Cause he did what you couldn't do [expletive], win a Super Bowl! And he been to two of 'em!" he continued. "So when you hate on him [expletive], just know you wasn't better than him." That led to Gillie further trolling Cam at his birthday party over the weekend when the host held up a Lombardi Trophy and yelled "Cam ain't never had one of these... I ain't going back and forth with you [expletive]!" That caused Johnny Football to step in— where the former Heisman Trophy winner made a pointed threat towards the 41-year-old regarding the next time they see each other. "Yo @gilliedakid you may be the biggest (expletive) loser on the planet," Manziel wrote Saturday. "Talking like you've (expletive) done anything on a football field. If I see you just know I'm going to slap the (expletive) out of you, trust." "I love million dollaz worth of game but that's the corniest (expletive) I've ever seen in my life," he added. "Can't wait for this response… Just set up the Rough & Rowdy and let's call it a day." Johnny then upped the ante by disrespecting the ex-rapper even further and telling him, "Take Jalens (expletive) out of your mouth for a couple minutes. Pretty sure he's already got a chick." Clearly neither side is ready to back down and Cam has already warned: "There will be no playing with my name."Johnny Manziel Threatens Podcast Host In Bizarre Feud Over Cam Newton first appeared on The Spun on Aug 2, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 2, 2025, where it first appeared.

Part of what makes the Oklahoma Sooners' schedule so difficult this season is the incredible stadiums they'll be playing in. SEC play takes you through some of the best college football environments in the sport. From Death Valley to The Swamp, the Southeastern Conference is filled with American cathedrals and coliseums. Saturdays in the south are set aside for football with iconic venues and passionate fanbases. In the SEC, there are five stadiums that are capable of holding more than 100,000 people and another five that can fit 80,000 or more.
