Elite 2027 4-star QB places Texas A&M in his Top 5 program list
2027 four-star quarterback Jayce Johnson has announced that Tennessee, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Florida State, and Texas A&M are the final programs he will focus on ahead of his commitment on August 3. Johnson is considered elite due to his impressive size and arm strength at this point in his young career. Texas A&M offered Johnson back in January, but has yet to host the QB.
Set to enter his all-important junior season at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia, 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.
Texas A&M OC Collin Klein has already proven to be one of the top quarterback recruiters in the country after landing 2026 four-star Helaman Casuga, who was considered one of the top passers during On3's Elite 11 camp this summer. Johnson has yet to reach his full potential, as he needs to work on several areas of his game, including touch and vision. However, it appears that he'll be considered a five-star prospect sooner rather than later.
According to 247Sports Composite, Johnson is currently positioned as the 32nd-ranked prospect in the class, the 2nd-ranked quarterback, and the 4th-ranked prospect in Georgia.

'Still dirty': Tigers fans issue warning to Lachie Galvin for Bulldogs grudge match
Wests Tigers fans have promised to bring the heat when Lachie Galvin runs out for the first time against the club he ditched mid-season. But they risk being drowned out by the rabid Bulldogs Army. The 20-year-old playmaker will line-up against the Tigers at CommBank Stadium on Sunday afternoon and can expect a serve from the home crowd with every touch of the ball. David Craine is a lifelong Balmain/Wests Tigers fan and administers the 'Wests Tigers Will Never Die' Facebook page, which has more than 44,000 members. He predicts Galvin will cop a hostile reception from both fans and former teammates. "The fans are still dirty over him walking out and will let him know. They will boo him at every opportunity," Craine told Yahoo Sport Australia. "And I believe it won't just be the fans - the players will be filthy as well. "I've heard reports that the team want payback for what he said about Benji…basically saying he can't coach. These players are only there because they believe in Benji. They will want to send him (Galvin) a strong message." But for all the passion and anger Tigers fans will muster, Craine concedes they face a tough time being heard over the raucous Bulldogs Army. Canterbury's fan base is on the march and turning up in big numbers during the club's best season in a decade.

"I expect Dogs fans to be bigger and louder than our sobbing fans," Craine predicted. "Their fans are the most passionate and noisy in the game and will try to drown the Tigers fans out. But we won't back down and they won't back down. We'll both be doing what we can to give our side an edge. It's all set up for a really feisty afternoon with plenty at stake for both teams." Canterbury has kept Galvin out of the firing line this week, refusing to offer him up to media outlets for fear of heightening tensions. It's been left to teammates to speculate on how the rookie half will handle playing against the club he rejected two months ago. Halves partner Matt Burton said: "He'll just go to another level and get better from that (scrutiny). That won't faze him at all. "There's going to be a lot of talk, but whatever's in these four walls, we just stick together and we don't worry about that. It's like he's a 26-year-old in a 20-year-old's body. He's got that maturity about him."

Jonathan Smith provides injury update of Spartans on opening day of preseason fall camp
Head coach Jonathan Smith provides an injury update on the Spartans on the first day of fall camp In the words of Michigan State head coach Jonathan Smith, the Spartans are starting fall preseason camp in a "solid" spot on the injury front. Michigan State opened up fall preseason camp on Tuesday, with the Spartans holding their first practice of the 2025 season. As part of fall camp opening, media was able to attend a brief portion of practice and have availability to ask questions to a number of players and Smith. One of the typically asked questions during this time of year is the injury status of the team, which Smith was able to provide a positive response. "I'd say solid," Smith said when asked about the overall team health of the Spartans. "Knock on wood, but we haven't came across the season-ending injury (or anything) to that extent. We definitely are being, I'll call it, smart with some guys in camp and we will ease them into it. But currently, we are feeling pretty solid." Now, preseason camp has just started so, of course, we are only dipping our toes into the injury front at this time. But, this is certainly reassuring knowing there aren't any offseason injuries that Smith and the Spartans were ready to announce on opening day of fall camp. This is a notable development as we get going on the 2025 season. Throughout fall camp, injuries will be something to monitor so stick with Spartans Wire for the latest updates. Hopefully, we don't have any news of any significant injuries before Michigan State takes the field on August 29 in the season opener against Western Michigan. Check out the full opening press conference for the 2025 fall preseason camp from Smith by clicking here.

Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith makes a major award watch list
Rejoice, college football fans! It's preseason watch list time, and one of the biggest ones announced its preseason watch list on Monday, and there is indeed an Ohio State football player on it. The Maxwell Award has been handed out annually since 1937 and goes to the players judged to be the best in college football. The award announced 80 names, and OSU wide receiver Jeremiah Smith was included (to nobody's surprise). Four Ohio State players have taken home the award that is handed out by the Maxwell Football Club since its inception. Howard "Hopalong" Cassidy won it in 1955, fullback Bob Ferguson took it home in 1961, Heisman winner Archie Griffin won in 1975, and Eddie George was the last to hold the Maxwell in 1995. Obviously, being on the preseason watch list means little because names can be added and culled down as the season goes on, but you have to be on the list at some point to win it, so Smith has that going for him. The superstar wide receiver hauled in 76 receptions for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns last season and had some of his biggest moments during the College Football Playoff national championship run. He should be poised to have another phenomenal year this fall as well as appointment television.
