Player Summary
Kevin Concepcion is one of the more dynamic playmaking wide receivers in college football in 2025. He has some issues to address in his game, namely his hands and lack of ball control, which are major concerns, but the playmaking outshines those moments. I really enjoy watching him run routes and use his body control to work defenders with and without the ball in his hands. Concepcion really thrives using his speed to pick up extra yards and take advantage of every touch he gets, as NC State tended to manufacture touches for him often. Going to Texas A&M, it will be interesting to see how they use him as he has the making of a dynamic playmaker, but their offense may make him a better pro in the end than a college player.

Texas OL coach says LT is locked down, but a camp battle is raging for RT
After filling in nicely when needed last year, redshirt sophomore Trevor Goosby will take over at left tackle this season on the Texas Longhorns offensive line. But Texas offensive line coach Kyle Flood says the other side is still a position to be claimed. The 6-foot-7, 309-pound Goosby did a great job taking Kelvin Banks' place last year when the former Longhorn went down to an ankle injury. "We feel like he's a starter,' Sarkisian said in April. "I mean, he got thrust into the games against A&M, Georgia, Clemson. He was ready." Flood praised the redshirt sophomore's versatility in this week's media availability. "We got to a point last year where I said, 'OK, Trevor is our third tackle.' And he can play both sides. ... Trevor did a great job stepping in for us," Flood said. Left tackle is locked in with Goosby, but right tackle is another story. There are two players in a heated position battle for the key spot on the offensive line. "There's definitely going to be a camp battle," Flood said. "For sure. We've got a couple of guys that have been playing there in the spring in Andre Cojoe and Brandon Baker, who have done a really nice job. A really nice job. Both those guys have changed their bodies and improved their skill sets." Baker played in eight games during the 2024 season. Cojoe saw time in four games. Both players are sophomores. Flood says the quality of the Texas defense is a big advantage when getting the offensive side of the ball ready for the season. It's especially true in position battles. "I think one of the advantages we have is we're going to play against a really talented edge group in training camp," Flood said." So I think these guys are going to get challenged on a day to day basis." Either way, Flood is confident it will all work out. "We'll figure out in training camp how that all plays out," he said. "Both guys are going to go out and compete and we'll see how it plays out in training camp." Follow us on X/Twitter at @LonghornsWire.

NFL employee 'seriously injured' after gunman targeted league headquarters in NYC shooting that killed 4
NFL employees were told to shelter in place Monday evening as a gunman opened fire inside the New York City building that houses the league's headquarters, killing four and leaving another in critical condition. A league employee was "seriously injured" in the shooting, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a memo to employees that was obtained by ABC News. Via ESPN, Goodell said: "One of our employees was seriously injured in this attack. He is currently in the hospital and in stable condition. NFL staff are at the hospital and we are supporting his family. We believe that all of our employees are otherwise safe and accounted for, and the building has nearly been cleared." That employee was reportedly identified by Diana Russini of The Athletic, who reported Tuesday that Craig Clementi was struck in the back by a bullet while calling other NFL employees to warn them about the shooting. Clementi reportedly continued to make calls while being transported to the hospital, per The Athletic. Per multiple media reports, the NFL sent an emergency alert to employees inside the high-rise at 345 Park Ave., advising them to shelter in place at the time of the shooting. 'Do not exit the building," the alert read. "Secure your location and hide until law enforcement clears your floor. Please switch phones to silent.' It was initially unclear whether the gunman specifically targeted the NFL in the shooting. New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday said that was the case, and that the man took the wrong elevator and wound up on the wrong floor of the building. The 44-story Manhattan building where the shooting took place houses multiple tenants, including accounting firm KPMG, investment firm Blackstone and real estate management group Rudin Management Company. NFL Headquarters has offices on floors 5-8 in the building. Off-duty police officer Didarul Islam was among those killed in the shooting, New York Mayor Eric Adams confirmed at a news conference Monday night. Islam, 36, was working security at the building at the time of the shooting. Authorities declined to immediately identify the other victims, pending notification of their families. Per Adams, two other men and one woman were killed in the shooting, and another man was hospitalized in critical condition, "fighting for his life." Adams confirmed that the shooter was also dead of an "apparent self-inflicted" gunshot wound. Citing security footage, NYPD commissioner Jessica Tisch described the scene of the shooting. She said the shooter exited a BMW double-parked outside of the high-rise while carrying an M-4 rifle. He then entered the lobby of the building and "immediately opened fire on an NYPD officer." "He then shoots a woman who took cover behind a pillar and proceeds through the lobby spraying it with gunfire," Tisch continued. "He makes his way to the elevator bank where he shoots a security guard who was taking cover behind a security desk." Per Tisch, he shot another man in the lobby before taking the elevator to the building's 33rd floor, which houses Rudin Management's offices. Rudin also owns the building. "He begins to walk the floor, firing rounds as he traveled," Tisch continued. "One person was struck and killed on that floor. He then proceeds down a hallway and shoots himself in the chest." Tisch announced that 27-year-old Shane Tamura of Las Vegas is the shooter's suspected identity. Police found a rifle case with rounds, a loaded revolver, ammunition and magazines in the BMW that he left behind. According to ABC, Tamura left a note mentioning the NFL and said he wanted his brain to be studied because he believed he was suffering from the effects of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Tamura played high school football. CTE is a degenerative brain disease that can result from repeated head trauma. It can only be diagnosed posthumously via autopsy. Tamura traveled across the country starting Saturday before arriving in New York on Monday, shortly before the shooting, Tisch told reporters. "His motives are still under investigation, and we are working to understand why he targeted this particular location," Tisch said. Per Tisch, police believed that Tamura acted alone and there was no longer an active threat to the area.
