Nebraska football tight end Mac Markway out for season with torn ACL
Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule gave a status update on tight end Mac Markway on Thursday. The coach officially confirmed that the tight end is out for a second season with a torn ACL. He came to Lincoln in 2024, but suffered a torn ACL injury before the start of the season. He entered the 2025 fall camp with a chance to work his way into the type end rotation. Now, it appears he has suffered another setback, as the ACL repair reportedly failed. He came to Lincoln by way of LSU, where he played limited action. He caught three passes for 16 yards in 2023. Rhule gave some information regarding the injury in his meeting with the media on Thursday. 'After the first practice, he came in and had some swelling in his knee, not until the next day,' he said. 'Unfortunately, the ACL repair failed for him. It's heartbreaking news. He's an unbelievable human. I felt terrible for him. It wasn't any one play, nothing that he even knows necessarily happened. Just some swelling. Got through the walk through that night, then came in the next morning. We got through day one, talked about him, we were really excited for what we knew he was about to do. I know the human he is and I'm excited for what he does next. I just wanted to make sure you guys heard that from me.' This is certainly unfortunate news for the program and the tight end position. Nebraska has the depth to withstand the injury, but this is the difficult part of preseason camp.

4-star Oregon Ducks commit Prince Tavizon reclassifies to 2026 class
The Oregon Ducks received some major recruiting news on Tuesday afternoon, which involved a player who was already committed to them. 4-star edge rusher Prince Tavizon announced that he would be reclassifying from the 2027 class to the 2026 class. As a member of the 2027 class, Tavizon was rated by 247Sports as the No. 76 overall player and No. 13 EDGE in the nation. Of course, those rankings will change when he's re-ranked as a member of the 2026 class, but it's clear that he's a highly rated recruit with some real upside. Tavizon, who stands at 6-foot-3, 245 pounds, chose the Ducks over the likes of the USC Trojans, Texas A&M Aggies, and California Golden Bears. Tavizon is the latest prospect that Oregon has plucked from Lincoln, creating a nice pipeline with the high-profile San Diego school. Last year, they got a commitment from 4-star QB Akili Smith Jr. from Lincoln, and they also got former 4-star CB Jahlil Florence from there in the 2023 class as well. Before the addition of Tavizon, Oregon's 2026 class ranked as the 12th best in the nation, but it will likely rise with the reclassification. As for Oregon's 2027 class, the lone commit is 4-star EDGE Cameron Pritchett with Tavizon's reclassification.
