Cam Skattebo headlines list of top 30 visitors for Titans
The Tennessee Titans are busy this week at their facility in Nashville. According to multiple posts by Paul Kuharsky, Tennessee will be hosting six players on Top 30 visits, including multiple running backs, defensive backs, and a wide receiver.
Cornerbacks Quincy Riley and Zah Frazier, running backs Cam Skattebo and Jordan James, safety Andrew Mukuba, and wide receiver Jakobie Keeney-James are all scheduled to visit Nashville.
We covered Louisville cornerback Quincy Riley earlier in the Titans Wire pre-draft coverage, and will break down the others below.
UTSA CB Zah Frazier
Frazier is one of the more interesting cornerback prospects in this class. His measurables are off the charts, coming in at 6-foot-3, 186 pounds. He brings an elite mixture of athleticism, size, and speed to the table with the upside to develop into a long-term starter in the league.
Unfortunately, with a lack of tape against high-level competition, much of his stock is a projection. A developmental player may need consistent coaching and technique refinement to reach his ceiling. An older prospect, Frazier is best suited for a zone scheme as he continues his development. He has starter traits and potential, but may need some seasoning before reaching his peak.
Arizona State RB Cam Skattebo
Skattebo may not boast the athletic traits of many of the running backs in this class, but consistent on-field production outweighs his athletic testing deficiencies. A bowling ball of a back, he defies traditional metrics with balance, instincts, and power.
Starting his career at Sacramento State, he worked his way to Heisman finalist and Big 12 Championship MVP at Arizona State, sometimes carrying their offense on his shoulders. His athleticism will not overwhelm teams and could cause him to fall, but as a multifaceted performer with underrated receiving skills, he could outperform his eventual draft slot.
Skattebo projects to be the type of change-of-pace running back that head coach Brian Callahan has talked about. He's a mid-round prospect who has a chance to develop into more than a complementary piece in an offense.
Oregon RB Jordan James
James profiles as another change-up type back for the Titans. He is a physical inside runner with developmental upside and starter potential. He is a decisive runner who offers exceptional vision and burst for an offense and should be able to contribute early in his career.
He lacks experience as a receiver and will need to improve his skills before assuming a more significant role in the offense, but the athletic traits are there for it to happen. He enters the league as a complementary back who can fill a niche in short-yardage and goal-line packages and has a high ceiling if developed.
Texas S Andrew Mukuba
Mukuba is one of the top safety prospects and has the skill set to be a dynamic back-end chess piece early in his career. His combination of experience and production against top competition should prepare him to step in and succeed. He's not the biggest safety in the class, but he brings elite athleticism to the table, giving him exceptional range and scheme versatility.
He lacks the bulk of many safeties, and that could impact him early in his career against the run, but his ability as a pass defender should get him on the field early in sub-package football. Mukuba is a Day 2 prospect who will see the field early as a rookie and has the potential to develop into one of the more dynamic safeties in the league.
UMass WR Jakobie Keeney-James
Keeney-James is a small-school prospect who opened some eyes after a pro day, during which he flashed 4.36 speed and solid athleticism. After four years of obscurity at Eastern Washington, he appeared to have put it all together at UMass and was a leader on the offense, putting up 50 receptions for 836 yards and six touchdowns in 2024.
A true developmental prospect as a receiver, he does bring special-teams experience to the table. Viewed as a late-round selection or a priority undrafted rookie free agent, he appears to be an ascending prospect heading into the NFL.

NY Giants Rookie Leaves Practice With Mysterious Setback
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Lately, the New York Giants have been taking it easy with their rookie running back, Cam Skattebo. Earlier this week, the team revealed that Skattebo is on a "participation plan," according to reports. Giants head coach Brian Daboll has not disclosed the primary reason behind Skattebo's plan. On Friday, it was a positive sign to see Skattebo back in the mix for the Giants. However, he ended up leaving the field early with a mysterious setback, roughly 30 minutes after he was spotted in action. The rookie running back was joined by the tight end Thomas Fidone. Both players have joined the Giants in the 2025 NFL Draft class. Cam Skattebo and Thomas Fidone have each left practice here at Giants camp and gone inside with the training staff — Art Stapleton (@art_stapleton) August 1, 2025 Skattebo landed with the organization as their 105th overall selection in the fourth round. Fidone joined the team as their seventh-round selection out of Nebraska. This summer, Skattebo has been making a lot of noise out of the Giants' backfield. Since New York could utilize a committee approach this year, there is a real opportunity for Skattebo to have a day-one impact, and he seems to be taking total advantage of it. Cam Skattebo at Giants Pracitce. Cam Skattebo at Giants the Giants' first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart had some notable praise for his running back. "He's been elite out there," Dart said on 'Up & Adams' following practice on Tuesday. "I knew coming into it, when you watch the Texas game, he caught the fade against a really good safety against Texas. He kind of was able to shield him off and catch that over his outside shoulder, so that was already super impressive from what I saw." Over the past four seasons, Skattebo worked his way up the college ranks. He started his NCAA run at Sacramento State in 2021. After playing there for two seasons, Skattebo transferred to Arizona State in 2023. As a junior, Skattebo took on 164 carries for 783 yards. He totaled nine touchdowns on the ground and picked up another one in the air. During his senior season, Skattebo appeared in 13 games. He took on a career-high 293 carries and produced 1,711 yards. Skattebo reached the endzone 24 times throughout the year, with 21 of those scores coming in the ground game. He caught 45 passes for 605 yards. It's unclear if Skattebo's early exit will keep him off the field for an extended period. It will be a situation to keep an eye on as the Giants' training camp continues.

Brian Kelly explains improvement he wants to see from LSU football QB Garrett Nussmeier
LSU football quarterback elected to return for another year of college football in hopes of leading LSU to a national title. Nussmeier and crew took another step towards that goal this week, returning to the practice field as training camp got underway. LSU head coach Brian Kelly met with the media after practice one and detailed what improvements he expects to see from LSU's veteran gunslinger in 2025. "His worst play needs to be zero," Kelly said, "What we can't live with is catastrophic mistakes. And I think you have to live through that to know what your limits are, right? I think he knows what those limits are in terms of managing a bad play and making it zero. I think that's experience." Nussmeier threw 29 touchdowns in 2024, but there were rough stretches headlined by turnovers. Nussmeier combined to throw five picks vs. Texas A&M and Alabama. The next week at Florida, he fumbled twice. He finished the year with 12 picks and five fumbles. Along with Nussmeier's improvements through the air, LSU looks for added impact on the ground. Nussmeier ran for just 93 yards in 2024, even when adjusting for sack yardage. Kelly said Nussmeier reached a top speed of 21.4 miles per hour this offseason. He doesn't have blazing speed, but that's enough to do damage. "I think he clearly understands that when the opportunity arises, that he can take off and be an effective runner," Kelly said. Nussmeier is looking to write the next chapter in LSU's recent history of elite quarterback play. Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels both won the Heisman trophy in 2019 and 2023, respectively, after returning for a fifth year. "I think that's the growth. And then just the technical things, right? I mean, on time throws, never turn down a profit, you know, meaning if there's a check down, you know, check it down. It doesn't have to always be down the field. So I think that's experience. I think some of it's technical. And I think he's in a great position to do that," Kelly said.
