2026 4-star offensive tackle is '100% committed to Texas A&M'

2026 4-star offensive tackle is '100% committed to Texas A&M'

USA Today26-06-2025
On Wednesday, Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class landed its 20th and 21st commitments, as four-star tackles Avery Morcho and Zaden Krempin are locked in with the Aggies after developing a strong relationship with O-line coach Adam Cushing, who is now regarded as one of the best assistants in the country and an elite recruiter going back to his time with Northwestern and Duke.
Morcho's focus on developing his raw skill set, paired with his elite traits, made Texas A&M the best choice for his NFL future. On the flip side, Zaden Krempin, who has been on the Aggies' radar for quite some time, was not the favorite to land in College Station over Michigan.
Texas has led the way, but after his time at Texas A&M and his lasting bond with Cushing, the standout pass protector is a future star in the making, as coach Mike Elko has continued to successfully recruit the DFW area (Dallas, Fort Worth) compared to former head coach Jimbo Fisher's lack of focus in the area.
Right after committing, Krempin took to social media to announce that he is "100% committed to Texas A&M" and effectively shut down his recruitment.
"I am 100% committed to Texas A&M. Thank you God for guiding me through this entire process. To my family, coaches, teammates, and friends I love you all. The hard work has just begun."
This is significant news, knowing that Krempin is already on his way to becoming the program's next starting left tackle, and will enter the O-line depth chart with plenty of room to develop once Cushing chooses his future position.
According to Rivals, Krempin is currently positioned as the 181st-ranked prospect in the 2026 cycle, the 20th-ranked offensive tackle, and the 26th-ranked prospect in Texas.

Texas A&M freshman 5-star WR is looking healthy in latest video

Texas A&M's 2025 wide receiver rotation is built on speed and quickness, which should result in consistent separation in coverage after head coach Mike Elko and his staff landed KC Concepcion (NC State), Mario Craver (Mississippi State), and Jonah Wilson (Houston) from the transfer portal, while 2025 signees TK Norman, Kelshaun Johnson and five-star Jerome Myles represent the future rotation. However, after missing a majority of his senior high school season in Draper, Utah due to a knee injury, Jerome Myles is back and 100% healthy with an eye on contributing at a high level during the 2025 season, bringing his notable size at 6'2" and 220 pounds and speed that fits what Elko and OC Collin Klein are looking for to fill the void left by junior Noah Thomas, who transferred to Georgia this offseason. While many worried that health would be an issue after Myles was the last signee from the 2025 class to make it to campus, that is now in the rearview mirror, meaning getting up to speed with the rest of the wide receiver rotation is key to make an instant impact this fall. In a new video from Myles' Instagram, courtesy of On3/Rivals recruiting insider Jaxson Callaway, the Utah native is already looking the part before fall camp officially begins next week. For someone coming off an ACL injury, Myles is looking like a player with a chance to crack the starting lineup, but will more than likely be the No. 4 option for starting quarterback Marcel Reed once he gets acclimated to the speed of college offenses. Either way, this is a great sign for the Aggies, who know that no matter how long it takes, Jerome Myles is destined for stardom.

Iowa women's basketball offers top-10 2028 recruit Arianna Robinson

Iowa WBB has offered '28 four-star guard Arianna Robinson (Plano East HS, TX)Rated as the #10 player in the country by offers from Texas, USC, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, TCU, Kansas State and Kentucky. Iowa women's basketball added another name to their impressive list of prospects by extending an offer to 2028 four-star guard Arianna Robinson on Thursday. At 5-foot-10, the Texas native currently stars for Plano East High School's varsity squad, competes for the Nike ProSkills 17U EYBL and recently won gold as part of USA Basketball's national team at the U16 Women's AmeriCup. Robinson is already highly thought of in the 2028 cycle, checking in as the No. 10 overall recruit in ESPN's 2028 SportsCenter NEXT-Terrific 25. In her lone varsity season so far for Plano East, Robinson averaged an impressive 20.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.1 steals per game through en route to All-Area Player of the Year honors from The Dallas Morning News. In addition to Iowa, Robinson has also received offers from other premier women's college basketball programs, including Texas, Michigan State, USC, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, TCU, Kansas State, and Kentucky. As she continues to receive offers and eventually schedule visits as a part of her recruitment process over the next year or so, Iowa hopes its recent success over the past five seasons and upward trajectory under head coach Jan Jensen will entice Robinson to join the program. 28' Arianna Robinson (@arirobinson_) is a high level two-way performer that has been very impressive at U16 AmeriCup with Team USA 🇺🇸read more+: | @btnscouting | @usabjnt Contact/Follow us @HawkeyesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Iowa news, notes, and opinions.

Notre Dame star RB Jeremiyah Love threw out the first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals game

Notre Dame star running back Jeremiyah Love was in his home state of Missouri this weekend, and once again was honored by the St. Louis community. As one of the top returning players in college football, Love is no stranger to the spotlight and it was once again on him Friday night as he threw out the first pitch at the St. Louis Cardinals game. The clip starts off with him catch an over the shoulder 'pass' from the mascot, as he proceeded to the mount for the ceremonial pitch. Love would then have a solid throw, although it wasn't quite a strike, just a bit out of the zone. What's great about the video is it included his commentary during the whole time. You can hear him saying to himself not to screw it up, go back to his teaching and then not being overtly happy with his throw. After leaving the field, he did acknowledge that his toss was better than it bouncing up there. Check out the full video below, as Love joins plenty of other former and current Notre Dame stars to throw out the first pitch at a Major League Baseball game.
