Texas offers elite 2027 in-state WR
It's two years away, but Texas currently only has four-star linebacker Taven Epps committed for the 2027 cycle. Over the weekend, plenty of elite talent from that cycle attended the Longhorns' Elite Camp, and four-star wide receiver prospect Alvin Mosley was one of them.
Mosley came into the weekend with 16 offers with programs such as Florida State, TCU, SMU, and Arkansas already making bids. That number is now 17 as Texas extended an offer to the 6-foot-2, 185-pounder.
It was a productive sophomore campaign for Mosley. He produced 52 receptions for 830 yards and 11 touchdowns. Because of that, 247Sports composite rankings have Mosley as the No. 223 player nationally and the nation's No. 29 wide receiver. They also have him ranked as the No. 32 prospect in the state of Texas.
Mosley has mentioned that TCU, Houston, and SMU have caught his eye. However, he came into his visit with Texas hoping to leave with an offer.
"I mean, it sounds great. They could develop me to be an NFL receiver so of course I'd like it," said Mosley via Horns247.
The Longhorns need to strike while the iron is hot and set up another visit with Mosley quickly.

BTN programming schedule for 2025 Big Ten Football media days next week
The college football season, and the opportunity to watch YOUR Ohio State Buckeyes on the gridiron, is just a little over a month away. And, if we are that close to breaking the seal on the 2025 college football season, it must be time for the annual spectacle that is Big Ten football media days. This year, the conference is taking advantage of its extended footprint out west by holding media days in Las Vegas, Nevada, so if there were ever a reason to cover all of the player and coach interviews, this would be it. Unfortunately for me, I'll be on a Disney Cruise instead, so the coverage will have to be from the view of the ocean with a drink in hand instead (woe is me). But never fear, we'll bring the coverage you deserve to you, and it all starts with understanding what the programming schedule will be. As always, the Big Ten Network will be on-site covering it all, and since there are 18 teams in the league, the event is now spread out over three days. Here's a look at the schedule of events the Big Ten Network will be covering Day 1: Tuesday, July 22: Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Ohio State, Rutgers *Note: Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is set to take to the podium at 12:45 p.m. ET Day 2: Wednesday, July 23: Minnesota, Northwestern, Oregon, Penn State, Washington, Wisconsin Day 3: Thursday, July 24: Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue, UCLA, USC There are always some interesting quotes, sound bites, and moments during Big Ten football media days, so make sure you come along for the ride with us.

Former Ohio State quarterback Will Howard discusses last six months while at ESPYs
To say that it's been a memorable and eventful last six months for former Ohio State quarterback Will Howard would be an understatement. Not only did he realize a couple of childhood dreams by winning a College Football Playoff national championship and by being selected in the NFL draft, but he also appeared on the red carpet at the ESPYs because the Buckeyes were nominated for "Team of the Year." And while OSU didn't win that award, he still got to rub elbows with American sports' royalty and experience all that comes from being a part of the festivities. One other thing Howard has been able to do is learn from future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers after he was signed to lead the Steelers this coming year. Howard -- all decked out in his best -- took some time while at the ESPYs to talk about those things and more while on the red carpet ahead of sitting in the audience in person to watch the annual sports awards show. As he always is, Howard was gracious and engaging in talking about a six-month whirlwind that will undoubtedly be unlike any other in his life. He reflected on his transfer to Ohio State, making a run to the national championship, and what it means to be mentored by Rodgers. You can catch all of his comments below, thanks to the ESPN College Football "X" account. It's unlikely that Howard will get much time under center in Pittsburgh this season, but as Rodgers moves on, if he can learn and make the most of the opportunity he has, maybe we can see him doing some of the same things he did for Ohio State for the Steelers in the near future. I wouldn't bet against him at this point. Contact/Follow us @BuckeyesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Ohio State news, notes and opinion.

Ohio State football will be near bottom of returning production in 2025
Ohio State lost a lot of players to the NFL at the end of last season, 14 total drafted to be exact, just one shy of an NFL draft record. But as they say, programs like the Buckeyes don't rebuild, they reload, and that should be pretty close to correct for OSU in 2025. In fact, according to ESPN's SP+, Ohio State is rated as the No. 1 team heading into the fall. However, if you look at what the Buckeyes lost, it might not be as easy as some believe. If Ohio State is going to be a Big Ten and College Football Playoff contender, it'll have to overcome being near the bottom of the league and pretty far down the national scale in returning production. ESPN recently dropped its Big Ten preview, and used metrics to rank Big Ten teams in their returning production both in the conference and nationally, and Ohio State is quite far down the list, further down than I can remember in a long time, and it's at key positions. Ohio State will be ushering in a new quarterback, a brand new backfield, and an overhauled defensive line, just to name a few areas of concern. Again, the thought is that the talent and at least some experience are still there, but this team is far from the experienced one we saw last season. So, where exactly is Ohio State ranked in returning production? In the Big Ten, the Buckeyes land at No. 14 with 48% returning production according to ESPN. Nationally, the Buckeyes are No. 92, much closer to the bottom of the total number of FBS teams, at 136. Illinois has the most returning production in the league, followed by Rutgers and Wisconsin. Here's a look at each Big Ten team and where they rank in returning production, both in the Big Ten and nationally. It's always interesting to see how experienced teams that aren't generally near the top of the Big Ten do during the season, but if you simply take that into account, you would think that Illinois or Rutgers could surprise some folks this year. We'll see if that happens. Contact/Follow us @BuckeyesWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Ohio State news, notes and opinion.
