Michigan football gains ground on 4-star DT Deuce Geralds, who sets Aug. 2 commitment date
One of the prospects that the Wolverines hosted for an official visit was 2026 Suwanee (Ga.) Collins Hill four-star defensive tackle Deuce Geralds, who took a midweek visit just before Victors Weekend. It had appeared as if the maize and blue weren't in the best position for Geralds, but after his trip to Ann Arbor, Michigan appears to have surged.
But will it be enough?
Geralds teased a big announcement on Wednesday and it turned out it was his commitment date (and not a commitment). With five schools in contention, Geralds will announce his school of choice on August 2.
While Ohio State, LSU, and Ole Miss all made the cut, this appears to be a Michigan vs. Oregon battle. Given that he's not deciding today, that's perhaps good news for Lou Esposito and the Wolverines, as the Ducks probably have a slight lead at the moment.
Michigan does have something of a logjam along the defensive line at the moment, with two defensive tackles (four-stars Alister Vallejo and Titan Davis) and four edge rushers (five-star Carter Meadows, four-stars McHale Blade and Julian Walker, and three-star Tariq Boney) all pledged.
Geralds is rated the No. 73 player in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite.

Kansas City Chiefs DE George Karlaftis weighs in on Jason Kelce's praise for rookie OL
The Kansas City Chiefs are days away from their annual stay in St. Joseph, Missouri, for training camp. Defensive lineman George Karlaftis recently appeared on FS1's Speak to share his thoughts on Jason Kelce's comments about Josh Simmons. 'Yeah, I mean Jason (Kelce) knows what he's talking about when he's talking about o-line. There are definitely a lot of shades there, just with the athleticism alone and his size. I think that's a fair comparison, just off the intangibles alone,' said Karlaftis, 'Let's see how he develops. I think he has all the tools, the intangibles, and the work ethic to be as great as he wants to be. It's all about putting in the work at the end of the day. I would agree with Jason's comparison for sure.' Simmons missed significant time last October due to a torn patellar tendon. He continues to work his way back, hoping to return to good health by the start of the 2025 season. Head coach Andy Reid shared his optimism during the last day of mandatory minicamp that the Ohio State star will be ready for training camp. After completing their draft day trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chiefs selected Simmons with the 32nd pick. At 6 feet 5 inches tall and 310 pounds, he earned Third-Team All-Big Ten honors last season for the 2024 National Champions.

Big Ten quarterback rankings for college football season start with Drew Allar
Amid a Big Ten quarterback club defined by fresh faces and incoming transfers, Drew Allar is one major reason why Penn State may be poised to leap ahead of Oregon and Ohio State and deliver the program's first national championship in almost 40 years. While there are several newcomers with starting experience – including UCLA's Nico Iamaleava and Indiana's Fernando Mendoza – Allar is one of only five returning starters in the conference, joining Luke Altmyer at Illinois, Dylan Raiola at Nebraska, Aidan Chiles at Michigan State and Athan Kaliakmanis at Rutgers. Advertisement That experience could be a major edge for Penn State. In comparison, Ohio State is leaning heavily toward sophomore Julian Sayin and Oregon will tap redshirt sophomore Dante Moore, who previously started five games at UCLA. While Sayin and Moore are pegged as future stars, Allar has 29 games of starting experience and is range of every passing record in Nittany Lions program history. That makes him the safest bet in the Big Ten and one of the top players at his position in the Bowl Subdivision. Beginning with Allar, here's how Big Ten quarterback stack up: 1. Drew Allar, Penn State Allar won't struggle for motivation after his junior year ended with a devastating interception in the team's CFP semifinal game against Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl. He'll be in his second season with offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki and surrounded by a top-notch offensive line and one of the nation's top collections of skill talent, especially in the backfield. Look for Allar to have a hugely productive year and contend for the Heisman Trophy. Penn State quarterback Drew Allar runs the ball for a first down against Ohio State during their game at Beaver Stadium on November 02, 2024 in State College, Pennsylvania. 2. Luke Altmyer, Illinois The former Mississippi transfer had 26 total touchdowns against six interceptions in a breakout 2024 season that saw the Fighting Illini win 10 games. Like Allar, Altmyer is a multiple-year starter at the same program amid a Big Ten quarterback crop that's otherwise defined by youth, inexperience and first-year transfers. Advertisement QUARTERBACK RANKINGS: Big Ten | SEC | ACC | Big 12 UNDER RADAR: Five sleeper candidates for Heisman Trophy 3. Dylan Raiola, Nebraska There are three reasons why Raiola is set for a sophomore surge. The first is the experience gained from an uneven freshman year that skidded to a finish after a very solid start. The second is the stronger supporting cast, especially at receiver. And the third is Nebraska offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, one of the best in the country. 4. Dante Moore, Oregon Moore started at UCLA in 2023 and then spent last season learning the Ducks' system behind Dillon Gabriel. Look for the former five-star recruit to grab this opportunity and run with it to become the next super-productive Oregon starter. Advertisement 5. Julian Sayin, Ohio State Sayin is still expected to grab the starting job, though Lincoln Kienholz made things interesting with a strong performance in the spring. As with Moore, he's extremely gifted and set to benefit from playing alongside stars such as Jeremiah Smith, among others. Unlike Moore, though, Sayin has no starting experience and could take some time to steady himself. 6. Nico Iamaleava, UCLA Iamaleava will be one of this season's most-watched players after his dramatic exit from Tennessee. He'll have a harder time at UCLA, which showed improvement in the second half of its first year under coach Deshaun Foster but is not anywhere near the Volunteers' level. But Iamaleava has led an SEC team to the playoff and is viewed in some circles as one of the top four or five quarterback prospects in the FBS. Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava (8) looks to pass against Vanderbilt during their game at FirstBank Stadium. 7. Fernando Mendoza, Indiana Mendoza takes over for Kurtis Rourke as Indiana looks to follow up on last year's shocking playoff berth. The former California starter threw for over 3,000 yards with 18 scores last season and should flourish in Curt Cignetti's explosive offense. Advertisement 8. Jayden Maiava, Southern California Maiava is the unquestioned starter for the Trojans after Miller Moss transferred to Louisville. Formerly of UNLV, Maiava went 3-1 after taking over last November but really struggled with turnovers, tossing five across the Trojans' loss to Notre Dame and bowl win against Texas A&M. 9. Bryce Underwood, Michigan After enrolling in time for spring practice, Underwood has steadily climbed Michigan's depth chart to become the odds-on starter as a true freshman. The five-star prospect has a uniquely stacked skill set and the complementary pieces to shine as a rookie, though it's obvious that he'll also need time and patience to crack his full potential. Advertisement 10. Mark Gronowski, Iowa Gronowski is one of the most intriguing new starters in the Power Four. The former South Dakota State transfer was a star on the Championship Subdivision level, leading the Jackrabbits to a pair of national championships and winning the Walter Payton Award in 2023 as the best overall player on the FCS ranks. How that production translates to the Big Ten will determine where Iowa falls in the playoff race. 11. Demond Williams Jr., Washington Williams is more than ready to take over for the Huskies based on his play as a freshman. A backup for most of the year, he ascended to the starting job in late November and played well enough to ratchet up expectations heading into September. Williams completed 82.7% of his attempts for 575 yards and five touchdowns with one interception in losses to Oregon and Louisville. Advertisement 12. Aidan Chiles, Michigan State Things didn't exactly go smoothly for Chiles after following former Oregon State coach Johnathan Smith to East Lansing. But the junior did cut down on his turnovers in the second half of the season after a rough start and showed flashes of the dual-threat athleticism that makes him such an interesting prospect, most notably in totaling over 300 yards of total offense in a win against Iowa. 13. Athan Kaliakmanis, Rutgers Kaliakmanis is a high-floor starter who has a command of the scheme and the clear trust of the coaching staff after leading Rutgers into bowl play last season. To take the next step, Kaliakmanis and the Scarlet Knights have to improve on third down and in the fourth quarter after dropping four games by a possession in 2024. Advertisement 14. Billy Edwards Jr., Wisconsin Edwards brings to Wisconsin plenty of experience after making nearly 500 attempts across his three years at Maryland. As the starter last season, Edwards threw for 2,881 yards on 6.9 yards per attempt with 15 touchdowns. He's not really a difference-maker and won't contend for all-conference accolades, but Edwards is a serviceable starter in the Big Ten – and that would be a big improvement over what the Badgers have drawn from the position in coach Luke Fickell's first two years. 15. Preston Stone, Northwestern Stone is the latest quarterback transfer to take the job at Northwestern after starting for SMU in 2023 and mostly playing backup last season to Kevin Jennings. The former four-star prospect threw for 33 scores and only seven interceptions across these two years, and that ability to limit mistakes will be a big positive for a passing game that managed just seven touchdowns with 11 interceptions in 2024. Advertisement 16. Drake Lindsey, Minnesota Lindsey has already drawn raves from coach P.J. Fleck after taking command of Minnesota's offseason competition to replace a one-year rental in Max Brosmer. To ease his transition, the Gophers need to get their offensive line in order and establish a tone-setting ground game behind running back Darius Taylor. 17. Ryan Browne, Purdue Browne left Purdue in December for North Carolina but then reversed course in April to return to the Boilermakers. After all that, he's in position to start under new coach Barry Odom. Browne made two starts in his first two seasons, losing both games, and has four touchdowns and four interceptions in 92 career attempts. Advertisement 18. Malik Washington, Maryland There is plenty of hype around Washington, the current favorite to grab the job for the Terrapins and conceivably start a multiple-year run in the lineup. If so, look for the freshman to take his lumps on one of the weaker teams in the Big Ten but gain valuable experience to lean on moving forward.

EA Sports College Football 26 toughest stadiums rankings: Stats don't add up
You won't find much fighting among college football fans if they are told they has the best environment in North American sports. It's who has the toughest one where the punches are thrown. In one of the most argumentative-driven sports, perhaps nothing gets the blood boiling − other than playoff rankings − than trying to determine which stadium is the class of college football, and hardest to play in. Home field advantage is what makes college football great. Crazed student sections, packed stadiums in football cathedrals with more than 100,000 people partaking in traditions while ensuring their team has the best possible chance to win, no matter the opposition. EA Sports tasks itself with trying to determine the top 25 toughest stadiums to play in for its annual video game. For College Football 26, EA Sports gave the top honors to LSU's Tiger Stadium, with Beaver Stadium (Penn State), Ohio Stadium (Ohio State), Sanford Stadium (Georgia) and Bryant-Denny Stadium (Alabama) rounding out the top five. EA Sports College Football 26: See full rankings of toughest places to play Is there a consensus agreement on it? Not even close. The social media replies to EA Sports' account are filled with people questioning the rankings, wondering how could it come to such a conclusion. Even Florida's Swamp, ranked seventh, and Tennessee's Neyland Stadium, ranked 12th. They certainly have a point. There isn't a correct or wrong way to determine the rankings, but there are statistics that back it up or disprove it. So, which stadium really is the toughest to be in? How does EA Sports determine toughest stadiums? What's certain in the top 25 rankings is the stadium size and attendance. The nine biggest stadiums in the country are on the list, and 20 of the 26 largest college football stadiums by capacity made it. National success is also consistent with 27 of the past 29 national champions on it, which plays a role in the EA Sports rankings. Ahead of College Football 25, EA Sports said there are several factors that are considered in the rankings, but more notable ones are home winning percentage, home game attendance, active home winning streaks and team prestige, among other factors. USA TODAY Sports reached out to EA Sports did n for more information into this year's rankings. Home stadium success After stadium size, a great starting point would be a team's history at home. Sixteen of the 25 teams with the best home winning percentage since 2004 made the rankings. Ohio State has the highest figure at a 91.6% win percentage (141-13) in that timeframe. In the top eight, only Boise State (89.2%) didn't make it. In it are: Meanwhile, the worst top 25 team on the list is Mississippi State. Their 58.2% win percentage (82-59) is 90th. Comparing 2024 rankings to 2025 Another way it could be looked is what last year's rankings and how it affected the 2025 edition. In College Football 25, Texas A&M had the top spot, followed by Alabama, LSU, Ohio State and Georgia. Texas A&M went 5-2 at home, with two top 10 victories and two close losses to Notre Dame and Texas. Yet the Aggies dropped to No. 11 this year, the biggest fall in the rankings. Meanwhile, LSU rose from third to first after a 6-1 home record. However, that included the laugher against Alabama, when the Crimson Tide beat the Tigers so bad the stadium was emptying out early in the fourth quarter. At the top, plenty of cases could be made for who should be where. There were moves that made sense. After the abysmal season, Florida State went ninth to 14th with a 2-5 home record, and Wisconsin's 3-4 mark dropped it from seventh to 15th. Washington joined the party at No. 18 following a 6-0 mark at Husky Stadium. Yet there were head-scratching decisions. Five teams on the list had perfect home records, but arguably the most questionable move is Alabama. It went from 7-0 at home in 2024, including wins over Georgia and Missouri, but went from second to fifth. Plus, Oklahoma State jumped into the rankings at No. 23, even though it went 2-4 at home with the wins against South Dakota State and Arkansas. Meanwhile, Boise State continued its blue turf dominance with a 7-0 record, yet completely fell out. In total, there are six teams − Auburn, Utah, Wisconsin, Oklahoma State, Mississippi State and Florida State − that were .500 or worse at home in 2024 and still in the rankings. All dropped spots except for the Cowboys. Margin of victory Winning at home is necessary, but what really determines the strength of the home field advantage is how a team does it. When it comes to crushing teams, no one on the list did it better than Tennessee. Not only did the Volunteers go 7-0 at home, but they won by an average of 33.6 points at Neyland Stadium, second-best in the country behind Indiana. How was Tennessee rewarded? Moving up just one spot to No. 12. Sure, the Volunteers have won just 67.6% (100-48) of their home games since 2004, but it's coming off a dominant season in Rocky Top. Eight teams − Tennessee, Ohio State, Texas, Alabama, Penn State, Notre Dame, Georgia and Iowa − won by an average of at least 20 points at home, showing how they mostly dominated opponents. Four are in the top five, yet Iowa (19th) only moved up one spot, and Notre Dame (21st) didn't move at all. No. 1 LSU's average margin was 10.4, 18th-best on the list. The Tigers were winning, but "Death Valley" wasn't a terror. At No. 14, Florida State had a -6.3 average margin, the worst on the list, yet it's ahead of eight teams that were positive, including the Hawkeyes and Fighting Irish. Oklahoma State (-4), Mississippi State (-4.1) and Michigan State (-4.3) were the others with a negative margin. Did EA Sports get stadium rankings right? It's anyone's guess how EA Sports made its rankings, but it's safe to say they aren't the end-all-be-all list. Based on these determinations, Alabama, Tennessee, Oregon, Texas should have been ranked higher, while LSU likely shouldn't have the top spot. Teams like Florida State, Auburn and Utah should've seen more dramatic drops than Texas A&M. The cowbells can be tough to play in, but it's evident Mississippi State shouldn't be on a list where the only wins with against Eastern Kentucky and Massachusetts. North Carolina State's admission is questionable but Oklahoma State had zero business moving into the top 25, resulting in Boise State being wrongfully punished. Of course, these opinions won't be correct to everyone. Determining the toughest − not the best − stadium isn't an easy task, but there's data that certainly backs it up. Think your team deserves to be higher? Then show up, be raucous and hope your team wins, and wins by a lot.
