Texas A&M assistant coaches recently visits priority 2026 4-star OL
Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko and his staff have made significant headway with one of the top offensive linemen in the 2026 class, as four-star offensive tackle Zaden Krempin included the Aggies as one of the final four programs he's considering heading into the summer, ahead of his official visit to College Station on June 5.
Krempin is one of the rising prospects in the cycle. Due to his strength and athleticism, he possesses elite run-blocking traits. His 6'4", 275-pound frame shows a player dripping with potential in pass protection at one of the most critical positions in the game: left tackle. Since Mike Elko took over, Texas A&M has returned to recruiting for the Dallas-Fort Worth area, which was not the case under former head coach Jimbo Fisher.
Currently, Krempin is considering Michigan, LSU, Texas, and Texas A&M and will officially visit each program over the next month. However, while SMU was not listed as one of his "final" schools, he will also take an OV to the Mustangs on June 7. Still, credit to Texas A&M O-line coach Adam Cushing and running back coach Trooper Taylor for making the trip to Prosper to visit Krempin, as evidenced by a recent photo.
These in-person visits go a long way, especially when the competition continues to make gains, knowing that the Texas Longhorns have been highly successful in landing elite O-linemen, matching the Aggies in that regard as of late.
According to 247Sports, Zaden Krempin is currently positioned as the 17th-ranked interior offensive lineman and the 38th-ranked prospect in Texas.

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.

Cowboys quarterback takes swipe at former teammates as he embraces fresh start
The Dallas Cowboys acquired Joe Milton from the New England Patriots in the offseason to add some more depth behind starting quarterback Dak Prescott for the 2025 season. Milton spoke glowingly about his new Cowboys teammates and took a swipe at the Patriots' locker room in the process. New England selected Milton in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and he was in a quarterback room with Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett last season. Jerod Mayo was the head coach for the Patriots last season. "Dak is a great leader. All respect to him. He literally goes out of his way to help me, no matter if the coach is talking in the meeting, he literally goes out of his way to help. I've been in another building. I know how that goes. It's just very different over here," Milton said on Friday, via The Athletic. He said he "preferred" to have a fresh start somewhere new. "That was something me and my team put together. They were able to get it done, I really didn't have to do much or say much. So just shout out to my agent, that's pretty much it." Milton only appeared in one game for the Patriots last season. He was 22-of-29 with 241 passing yards and one touchdown pass. He's considered to have massive potential, should he ever get a shot at becoming a starter in the NFL. Milton is projected to be the backup quarterback heading into the regular season behind Prescott. Will Grier is slotted at QB3. Prescott will look to stay healthy for Dallas. He only managed to play in eight games in 2024.
