Texas A&M 2026 3-star commit recently worked out with two Aggie greats
Like many of the program's commits, Johnson shut down his recruitment and is all-in with Texas A&M ahead of his senior season with Fort Bend Marshall. This summer, knowing that his future is in College Station, Johnson has reportedly been working out with two Aggie legends to refine his skill set and prepare for his position change.

In a recent photo on X, Johnson, alongside former Texas A&M standout left tackle and current longtime Atlanta Falcons blindside blocker Jake Matthews, and former Texas A&M tackle Germain Ifedi, who last played for the Cleveland Browns during the 2024 season.
Working out at the Apollo Performance & Sports Medicine center in Houston, Texas, the Aggie family is strong, and the connections are limitless, especially for the future players dedicated to sticking with the program and developing, which has become a rarity in the transfer portal age.
During his 2024 junior season, Johnson passed for 2,109 yards and 25 touchdowns, completing 60% of his passes, while also rushing for 571 yards and six touchdowns. Johnson has proven that he can play QB at the next level, but Texas A&M tight end coach Christian Ellsworth deserves credit for striking while the iron is hot, knowing that Johnson has been sky rocking locally before his OV.
According to Rivals, Johnson is currently ranked as the 34th-best athlete and the 109th-best prospect in Texas.

Josh Giddey Reflects On Incredible Half-Court Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater Against Lakers
Josh Giddey Reflects On Incredible Half-Court Game-Winning Buzzer-Beater Against Lakers originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey delivered one of the best moments of the 2024-25 NBA season back on March 27. Giddey hit a half-court game-winning buzzer-beater against the Los Angeles Lakers to cap off a sensational comeback win for the Bulls, and he reflected on that shot on the Ball Magnets podcast. Advertisement "The shot obviously gets a lot of attention, but we were down like nine points with 15 seconds left," Giddey said. "And there was a lot that had to go right to lead up to that shot going in. And we went up, and then Austin Reaves hit that layup with three seconds left. "We had no timeouts and I tried to get the ball into Coby [White] quick, [but] they denied him," Giddey continued. "I threw it to [Patrick Williams], and he was kind of stuck awkwardly on the sideline. So, I started trailing the play, and he threw it back to me, and the best shot ... I could get was from where I shot it. "If I had kept dribbling, the clock probably would have ran out," Giddey added. "So, I just let it fly, and luckily it went in. While luck did play a factor, Giddey stated he felt like the shot was going in when the ball left his hands. Advertisement "That's kind of why I held my follow-through and kept walking," Giddey stated. "Because when it left my fingertips, it felt good." Here is Giddey's incredible shot. Just a few days before this clash, the Bulls had blown out the Lakers 146-114 at Arena on March 22. The Lakers had revenge on their minds for the rematch and seemed set to come away with an easy win when they led by 18 points early in the fourth quarter. A Bulls comeback seemed highly improbable, but a 32-15 run saw them cut the Lakers' lead to 111-110 with under a minute remaining. Austin Reaves would push the lead back to three, and Giddey then missed a floater, which seemed to seal the Bulls' fate. Advertisement Reaves would hit both his free throws on the next play to push the lead to five with 12.1 seconds remaining. The Lakers looked to have averted disaster, but things would go horribly wrong from then on. LeBron James left Patrick Williams open for a three-pointer, and he drilled it from the corner. Giddey would then steal James' inbounds pass, and Coby White hit another three to give the Bulls the lead. Reaves then scored again with 3.1 seconds remaining, which set the stage for Giddey's memorable shot. With time winding down, the Australian let it fly from half-court over James and drilled it. It was a night that Giddey will never forget, and James won't either, but for all the wrong reasons. Giddey finished with 25 points (8-19 FG), 14 rebounds, 11 assists, and two steals against the Lakers. It was one of the 22-year-old's best performances of the season, and it was part of a very promising stretch of play from him. Advertisement Giddey averaged 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game for the Bulls after the All-Star break. He was very efficient, too, shooting 50% from the field and 45.7% from beyond the arc. The timing of that stretch was quite ideal for Giddey. He is a restricted free agent and, according to the Chicago Sun-Times' Joe Cowley, wants a contract worth around $30 million a year from the Bulls.

Real Madrid superstar underwent doping test after Dortmund win
According to a report from MARCA, it has come to light that Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe found himself in an unusual situation after his team's 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final. The French forward had to stay behind at the venue to complete a routine doping test, which ended up taking much longer than expected. Advertisement After the match, Real Madrid's players gradually made their way from the locker room to the team bus, ready to head back to their base camp in West Palm Beach, Miami. Club president Florentino Perez also departed the stadium in his car. However, as everyone settled in and the bus prepared to leave, they realised one key figure was missing: Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe had to leave alone The delay left Real Madrid in a tricky spot. With the entire squad and coaching staff already on the bus and time ticking away, they had no choice but to leave without Mbappe. Mbappe scored a fantastic goal against Borussia Dortmund. (Photo by) Advertisement The forward, who had taken longer than expected to finish his doping test, was still inside the stadium nearly an hour after his teammates had gone. When Mbappe finally emerged, he was escorted by a club staff member and whisked away in a different car, followed by up to five police vehicles for security. The extraordinary escort highlighted both the importance of the player to the club and the level of attention he commands wherever he goes. This unexpected incident did little to dampen the excitement of Real Madrid's win, which booked their place in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup against Paris Saint-Germain. Mbappe, who scored a goal in the match, will now focus on helping his team reach the final and lifting another trophy.
