Sonny Dykes talks about opener against UNC, Bill Belichick
We are under a month away from kickoff for the college football season, and for the North Carolina Tar Heels, they are ushering in a new era under Bill Belichick.
The Tar Heels will play host to TCU on Labor Day in primetime as they are the standalone game for ESPN. It will be a huge game for both programs as Chapel Hill should be electric for the game. But as we continue to countdown the days, TCU head coach Sonny Dykes had a comment on the opener.
Dykes spoke at the Texas High School Coaches Convention recently, calling the opener against UNC 'interesting'.
"We have an interesting opener against North Carolina on Labor Day," Dykes said. "That will be a big challenge for us getting ready for a tough road game against an opponent that's obviously got a pretty impressive resume when it comes to coaching in Bill Belichick.
"There's going to be a whole lot of things we're not going to have the opportunity to prepare for and a lot of unknowns. We've got to make sure we do a good job making sure our players are ready to go play."
Dykes wasn't taking a shot at UNC or Belichick at all. Instead, he was praising the head coach in his first year at the college level. It's going to be a tough challenge for the Tar Heels as TCU is no slouch. But getting off to a good start will be key as well for Belichick and his team.

Rivals ranks Texas A&M has one of 20 'July recruiting winners'
Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting success this summer has only been matched by several programs, as the future is set at several positions, including running back, after landing four-star Jonathan Hatton and four-star KJ Edwards, who are both considered elite and future stars. Since June, 16 of the program's 27 commits chose the Aggies, led by five-stars Brandon Arrington, Tristian Givens, and Bryce Perry-Wright. Arrington, who will play cornerback at the next level, chose Texas A&M over Oregon in the final stretch of his recruitment. He is considered the best athlete in the class, while Givens and Perry-Wright are considered two of the top pass rushers, who, outside of NIL, felt Mike Elko and defensive line coaches Tony Jerod-Eddie and Sean Spencer's development background on the defensive line, paired with the program's history in the trenches, was too much to pass up. On offense, Elko, OC Collin Klein, and WR coach Holmon Wiggins have locked down wide receivers Aaron Gregory, Madden Williams, and Mike Brown. At the same time, four-star Jace Mathews, who will announce his commitment on Friday, is another name to watch. Texas A&M's tight end future also looks secured with four-star Caleb Tafua, while TE coach Christian Ellsworth beat out Notre Dame and Iowa State for Waukee, Iowa, native and four-star Evan Jacobson. Last week, Rivals writer Adam Gorney ranked its ten "July recruiting winners," including Texas A&M, which is no surprise given what we just discussed above. Texas A&M's 2026 class is currently ranked 3rd nationally, and unless Elko and his staff pull off one or two more commitments or flips, this will likely be the final ranking by the time we reach Early Signing Day on December 4.

Texas A&M senior cornerback is looking healthy and back to form this preseason
It can't be overemphasized how vital Texas A&M's cornerback rotation will be to the program's success during the 2025 season, headlined by he return of senior Will Lee III, and Georgia transfer Julian Humphrey, who is considered the fastest player on the roster. However, senior cornerback Tyreek Chappell could be the x-factor in the Aggies' improving substantially in the secondary. While it wasn't all bad, the 2024 cornerback group was patched together in the offseason ahead of head coach Mike Elko's first season, which includes BJ Mayes, who became one of the more reliable corners late in the season, but has since moved on to the NFL after running out of eligibility. The underrated storyline was the early loss of Tyreek Chappell, which hurt the Aggies in the middle of the field at the nickel spot. Early in the offseason, it was reported that Chappell was set to return for a final season. While he wasn't completely healed until the summer, the Philadelphia native looks like his old self during the first week/weekend of preseason practice, which was highlighted during a one-on-one matchup with Mississippi State transfer WR Mario Craver. Craver is considered one of the fastest receivers on the roster, and while he did make the completion, Chappell went stride for stride with the transfer wideout, which is great to see with the 2025 season opener vs. UTSA just a mere 26 days away. After recording three tackles before missing the rest of the 2024 campaign, Chappell has been one of Texas A&M's most reliable and versatile cornerbacks, netting 106 tackles, two interceptions, and 23 pass deflections during his first three seasons. Washington transfer CB Jordan Shaw has been battling with Chappell this preseason for the starting nickel spot, but it's been rumored that Chappell has taken the lead and is expected to win the job. Either way, Texas A&M's cornerback depth is in much better shape compared to this time last season.
