Texas A&M Safety Preview-Can A&M's safety group take a step forward in 2025?
The 2025 football season is coming up fast, and there's plenty of excitement surrounding year two under Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko. One of the most scrutinized position groups this season will be the secondary, especially the safeties. Unless you were living under a rock after the bowl game loss to USC, you heard Elko make it immediately clear: he was furious about the team's poor pass coverage and promised significant changes. Unlike the cornerback position coach Elko the only player added to the safety room was true freshman Rashad Johnson Jr. This shows the amount of faith the staff with the player on the roster to improve. Depth Chart Snapshot Player Spotlight Freshmen Class: Rashad Johnson Jr Scheme Fit & Outlook Elko's safeties must deliver: Ratcliffe, as the third safety on the field, unlocks more blitz and disguise options. Anderson remains the brain, Brooks brings the bite, and the depth group offers a mix of experience and upside. This unit won't just hold the line, it'll bait, confuse, and punish if they can put it all together. Final Thoughts There's upside here, but it's all speculative. Ratcliffe adds versatility, and Anderson brings needed stability. Beyond that, Brooks hasn't anchored a full season, Kerr's the only proven depth, and communication issues still hang over the room. If the vets lock in and the younger guys come on fast, this unit could help A&M turn a corner. But for now, the talent's intriguing, the cohesion isn't.

Popular college football podcast picks Spartans to exceed expectations in 2025
It's predictions season, and one popular college football podcast likes Michigan State to exceed expectations in 2025. Michigan State comes into this season looking to snap a three-year bowl drought, with the Spartans again pegged to be right around the bowl eligibility cutline. But for one popular college football podcast, Michigan State will easily surpass the six win threshold in 2025. The Undergrad CFB podcast released their game-by-game predictions for Michigan State next season and have the Spartans finishing 8-4 overall and 5-4 in Big Ten play. The popular podcast has the Spartans picking up notable wins over Boston College, UCLA, Indiana, Michigan and Iowa this season. I personally have some similar game-by-game predictions that I'll be releasing in the coming weeks ahead of the season. So this prediction from The Undergrad CFB account is not far off from my personal opinion, but definitely is higher on the Spartans than most of the national or regional media. Check out the complete game-by-game predictions below: Contact/Follow us @The SpartansWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Michigan State news, notes and opinion.
