FSU is still pursuing a four-star WR committed to an SEC school
Even if you have committed elsewhere, Florida State has proven that they still believe they might be able to flip you, and they won't stop recruiting you.
Over the weekend, four-star wide receiver prospect Madden Williams, who is committed to the Texas A&M Aggies, took an official visit to Tallahassee to see the Seminoles. Per Warchant.com's Matt LaSerre, Williams told them that 'It was great being able to be out here. Being able to see all the coaches, see all the coaches and [being] able to interact; it was definitely a great visit for me."
The 6'2" prospect is originally from St. John Bosco (CA), and even though he grew up in California, he has had a favorable view of the Seminoles since childhood.
'It was my dream school growing up,' Williams added. "I've been a Florida State fan since I was 4 or 5 years old."
He also had high praise for new offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, telling Warchant.com that he liked how the former UCF Knights head coach planned to utilize him in the new-look Florida State offense.
Williams plans to announce his final decision regarding commitment after his official visit to Texas A&M on June 20.
He is ranked as the No. 235 overall player and No. 38 wide receiver in On3's industry ranking. He is also the No. 23 player from California.

Ex-Steelers QB Kenny Pickett injured at Browns training camp
Browns QB Kenny Pickett injured his hamstring near the end of Saturday's practice and is expected to re-evaluate the injury later this week, per sources. Pickett was coming off a strong couple of practices, per sources, and at least for the short term, there now will be more reps… Former Steelers QB Kenny Pickett has suffered an unfortunate hamstring injury at Browns training camp — opening the door for the starting competition to get additional reps. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Pickett suffered his hamstring injury at the end of Saturday's practice — and is set to be re-evaluated later this week. The Steelers traded Pickett to the Eagles last offseason — who then sent him to the Browns, where he's involved in a four-way competition for the starting QB position in Cleveland. Pickett was splitting reps with QBs Joe Flacco, Dillon Gabriel, and Shedeur Sanders for the Browns' starting spot — and despite a strong early showing at camp, the ex-Steeler will likely fight an uphill battle for the job while nursing his hamstring. Here's to hoping the former first-rounder can return quickly and earn the role for Cleveland — as the Week 6 revenge game, when the Browns visit Pittsburgh, hinges on Pickett under center.

Big Ten Network personality Jake Butt picks teams for 2025 Big Ten title game
Another Big Ten football media days is in the books, and now we can focus our attention towards the start of fall camp and the buildup to the start of the 2025 college football season. Ohio State will be defending its College Football Playoff national championship and will look to add a couple of goals it missed out on last season -- winning the Big Ten and beating Michigan. That's not as easy as it used to be with the addition of former Pac-12 schools from the West Coast -- Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC-- and with Michigan and Penn State rising up to become national powers as well. The Big Ten has closed the gap on the SEC and created one of its own as the best conference in the country, and it should be another fantastic season in 2025. So, who has the advantage in making the Big Ten Championship game? Ohio State and Penn State are expected to be the best teams this year according to most of the media, but that's not what Jake Butt from the Big Ten Network thinks. In a segment on social media, Butt provided his picks for teams that will play in Indianapolis, and he omitted Ohio State, picking Penn State to tussle with Oregon instead. It's all opinion, of course, and it's not like the Ducks aren't a program to reckon with almost annually now, so there's that. But Butt not identifying his alma mater, Michigan or the Buckeyes, is an interesting take, especially considering Oregon lost as much talent as OSU. But never fear Ohio State fans, Butt did mention Ohio State as one of the teams that will contend for a College Football Playoff spot -- so there's at least that. Ohio State defending its title and having a shot at a conference crown will largely depend on the production it gets at the quarterback spot and how well the defense plugs some of those gaps lost to the NFL. It won't take long to see how those questions are answered because the Buckeyes open up against Texas in Week 1. Let the countdown continue.

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin reveals his most anticipated training camp matchup
With the first week of Steelers training camp in the books, HC Mike Tomlin is excited for what lies ahead — particularly one matchup between an accomplished pass-catching running back and a great second-year linebacker. Following Sunday's practices at training camp, Tomlin shared which matchup he's looking forward to the most next week when pads come on — and it's the meeting of RB Kenneth Gainwell and LB Payton Wilson. "I like Kenny G versus Payton Wilson in routes," Tomlin told reporters. "Kenny G has shown a really good aptitude, from a route-running standpoint out of the backfield. Payton Wilson, in his second year, is a guy that's working to be dominant in that area. It's just one of those matchups that has my attention." Wilson was drafted with the 98th overall pick in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft — and make a strong impression during his rookie year with the Steelers. Gainwell, who spent the past four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, signed with Pittsburgh this offseason — a fantastic fit in a completely restructured Steelers running back room. All eyes will be on these two Steelers when training camp returns on Tuesday, July 29 — a showdown that clearly has the full attention of the longest-tenured NFL head coach.
