Iowa football running back transfer commits to Mountain West program
With the Iowa Hawkeyes currently carrying a full running back room, there are only so many carries to go around to the group. The nature of that position being a deep group has one former Iowa running back committing to a new program.
With Kamari Moulton and Jaziun Patterson sitting atop the depth chart and in line for the bulk of the workload, fellow back Max White entered the transfer portal earlier this offseason in search of a new home and a chance to tote the rock.
White has since found that home as he announced via his account on X. He is transferring to the Wyoming Cowboys, a program located in Laramie, Wyoming, and part of the Mountain West Conference.
Max White joined the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2021 as a walk-on before cracking the field in the 2023 season in multiple capacities.
White has appeared in 27 games for the Hawkeyes with nine rushes for 38 yards and a touchdown under his belt. He has also returned kickoffs, averaging 18.6 yards per return on five return attempts.
A product of John F. Kennedy High School and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Max White comes in at 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds, per 247Sports.
Wyoming went 3-9 last season but saw a strong run prior. The Cowboys went 9-4 in 2023, 7-6 in 2022, and 7-6 in 2021.

Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Kevin Riley
Entering year two playing for his hometown team, could the 2025 season mark a breakout campaign for Alabama Crimson Tide running back Kevin Riley? A native of the Tuscaloosa area, Riley is coming off a true freshman season a year ago in which he did not see much action for the Crimson Tide. However, Riley came to Tuscaloosa as one of the highest-rated running backs in his recruiting class, and is a player who is certainly capable of emerging this season to potentially become a key contributor of Alabama's running back room. Here is a look at everything you need to know about Alabama running back Kevin Riley entering the 2025 season. Kevin Riley player information Kevin Riley career stats Entering year two of college football, Riley is coming off a true freshman season in which he did not play much for the Crimson Tide. Last season, Riley played in only two games where he rushed for 30 yards on 10 attempts, while also hauling in two receptions for nine yards. Kevin Riley 2024 stats As mentioned previously, Riley appeared in only two games during the 2024 season, which came against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Over that span, Riley rushed for 30 yards on 10 attempts, and caught two passes for nine yards. Kevin Riley recruiting ranking According to the 247Sports Composite rankings, Riley came to Alabama considered as the nation's No. 75 overall prospect in the 2024 recruiting class, as well as the No. 3 running back nationally. Riley, a four-star prospect who committed to Alabama in Dec. 2023 when he flipped from Miami, was also ranked the No. 7 player in the state of Alabama where he attended Tuscaloosa County High School. Kevin Riley 2025 season outlook When taking a look at Riley's potential impact this season, it is currently an unknown surrounding what the former four-star prospect's role might be. As to why, that is because Alabama's running back room returns two big names in starter Jam Miller and Richard Young, while also having added an experienced transfer in Dre Washington. However, Riley could also potentially emerge in that group as well, as the redshirt freshman could make an impact in multiple different ways from the running back position. Overall, expect Riley to improve on his season totals from a year ago, and to be a backup option at running back who could potentially emerge later in the season.

Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck praises former Nebraska wide receiver Malachi Coleman
A former Nebraska wide receiver is receiving high praise from his new head coach. Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck discussed the impact of Malachi Coleman on the Golden Gophers' offense while meeting with the press at Big Ten media days. Coleman transferred to Minnesota after spending two seasons at Nebraska. In 2023, he appeared in 11 games and had eight catches for 139 yards and one touchdown. He has three seasons of eligibility remaining after he redshirted in 2024. The Lincoln native was the No. 11 overall wide receiver in the 2023 class and the top player in his class from the state of Nebraska, according to the 247Sports Rankings. He committed to the Cornhuskers on December 21, 2022. Fleck opened his comments by mentioning Coleman's athleticism as reported by Clint Cosgrove of ProPath Management. 'You talk about a dynamic playmaker that can do things in the air that I haven't seen many people do at the wide receiver position throughout my entire coaching career. You talk about playing for the Niners, coaching for the Buccaneers, coaching all the receivers we have. He's got very rare attributes." Fleck has had success against the Huskers since becoming the head coach of the Golden Gophers, boasting a 6-1 record against the Cornhuskers, including a five-game winning streak in the series. Minnesota will host Nebraska on Friday, October 17. The kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. CT.

Four-star forward Davion Adkins lists Auburn in top six, schedules official visit
The Tigers are battling several blue bloods to land Davion Adkins, a four-star forward from Texas. Ask any Auburn basketball fan, and they will tell you that the Tigers are a "blue blood" program. Sure, Auburn's history on the hardwood is not as deep as the likes of UCLA, Kentucky, or Duke. However, the Tigers have proven in recent years that they can compete with the sports' most successful programs on the court, as well as the recruiting trail. Another example of the Tigers' rise is in the recruitment of Davion Adkins, a four-star forward from Dallas, Texas. According to Joe Tipton of Rivals, Adkins has placed Auburn in his top six schools. The Tigers are competing with blue blood programs Indiana, Kansas, and UCLA, as well as national runner-up Houston and Rutgers. The race for Adkins is a tight one according to Rivals, as neither program in his top six has a chance greater than 24% to land his signature. Kansas is the leader, followed by Rutgers, Houston, Auburn, and Indiana. September and October will be key months for Adkins' recruitment, as he will take official visits to all six schools over those two months. His tour will begin Sept. 13 at Indiana, and will conclude Oct. 25 at UCLA. He plans to visit Auburn during the weekend of Oct. 18, the same weekend that Auburn football hosts Missouri at Jordan-Hare Stadium. In an interview with Tipton and Rivals, Adkins shares that he is impressed with the Tigers' recent success, and that Bruce Pearl and his staff could develop him. 'They've had great success in the tournament and overall with the players they bring in. I feel like they would be able to help me a lot.' Adkins is a 6-8 forward from Prolific Prep, by way of Dallas, Texas. He is the No. 5 power forward from the 2026 class, and the No. 36 overall player. Pearl and the Tigers are looking for their first 2026 commitment.
