Son of Super Bowl champion, Georgia DL names top schools
Snellville has produced several legendary Georgia Bulldogs over the years including defensive end David Pollack and quarterback David Greene. However, neither player attended Brookwood.
Brayden Tyson's top schools are Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, Tennessee, North Carolina, Miami, Rutgers and Florida State. The 6-foot, 235-pound running back is ranked as the No. 159 player in the class of 2027. Tyson is the No. 13 running back in the country and the No. 23 prospect in Georgia.
The elite running back prospect has recently visited Florida State, Texas, Miami and South Carolina. Tyson has a notable connection to Georgia. His father, DeAngelo Tyson, played defensive tackle at Georgia from 2008-2011. He was selected in the seventh round of the 2012 NFL draft and helped the Baltimore Ravens win Super Bowl XLVIII over the San Francisco 49ers.
Tyson could elect to blaze his own path like a couple of key Georgia legacies did in the class of 2026. Four-star linebacker Thomas Davis Jr. committed to Notre Dame and three-star edge rusher Kedric Golston II committed to Tennessee.
Coach Kirby Smart and Georgia currently have two commitments in the class of 2027, but none at running back. The Dawgs typically sign two running backs per recruiting cycle and Tyson appears to be a key target for UGA.

NFL veteran Lorenzo Carter informs Titans of surprising retirement decision days before training camp start
Tennessee Titans veteran edge rusher Lorenzo Carter has retired just days before the start of training camp, the team announced Tuesday. Carter, 29, signed a one-year, $1.4 million contract with the Titans during free agency ahead of the 2025 season. But according to Titans general manager Mile Borgonzi, he only informed the team of his decision to retire on Monday – just two days before the start of training camp. "He notified us yesterday that he will be retiring," Borgonzi said, according to the team's website. "So we wish him well." Carter played in the NFL for seven seasons after the New York Giants selected him in the third-round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Georgia. The edge rusher spent the first four seasons with the Giants before he joined his hometown Atlanta Falcons for the final three seasons of his career. Carter started 62 of his 96 career games in the NFL. He only started two of his 15 games in his rookie year, but after that he became a regular starter with the Giants. In four seasons with the Giants, Carter had 153 combined tackles, 14.5 sacks, one interception, 15 passes defended, five forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries. Following his four-year stint with the Giants, Carter signed a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Falcons. Carter started all 17 games that season and parlayed that into a two-year, $9 million contract the following season. Last season, Carter started 11 of the 13 games he played in and had 32 combined tackles and no sacks for the Falcons. Without Carter, the Titans have seven edge rushers on their roster: Arden Key, Dre'Mont Jones, Femi Oladejo, Jaylen Harrell, Ali Gaye, Titus Leo, and Desmond Evans.

Big Ten commish makes it clear: When it comes to College Football Playoff expansion, his No. 1 priority is inventory
Remember all the thrilling games of the 2024-25 College Football Playoff? Texas' two-overtime victory against Arizona State in the Peach Bowl! Notre Dame's walkoff field goal to defeat Penn State in the Orange Bowl! And … and … hey, how about that Peach Bowl? The sad truth about the debut of the expanded College Football Playoff was that from a competitive standpoint, it was pretty much a wet firework. Only two of the 11 games — those two above — finished with a one-possession margin of victory. Five of the games were decided by a margin of two touchdowns or more, and three were 20-plus-point blowouts. (Thanks for stopping by, SMU, Tennessee and Oregon.) More, in other words, didn't come anywhere near better. Yes, these were college football playoff games … but more importantly, they were inventory created to meet demand. And if people are going to buy as much of the product as you put on the shelves, what's the incentive to limit that product? Why worry about quality when quantity is your overall goal? College power conference leaders know this, which is why they're angling so hard for representation in the CFP's bracket — now at 12, almost certain to expand to 16. If — no, let's be honest, when — that expansion comes, most conferences favor a 5+11 bracket. That would comprise five conference champions, 11 at-large teams, and would seem to be as meritocratic as possible: Play well and you're in. (Win those winnable games, Alabama.) But meritocracy isn't the endgame here, aristocracy is. And so now you have Tony Petitti, Big Ten commissioner, backing a '4-4-2-2-1-3' idea, which would give the Big Ten and the SEC four automatic bids apiece, the Big 12 and the ACC two apiece, and the remaining conferences a single bid, with three more at-larges. (It's like one of those ridiculous old word problems — 'If the Big Ten gets four automatic berths in the playoffs, and the SEC gets four automatic berths … how can they screw the ACC and the Big 12 out of three more?') 'At the end of the day, I think there's been a lot of concern about how [the playoff selections] are made. I focus on that piece,' Petitti explained. 'How are we differentiating from teams that don't have head-to-head play, teams that don't play common schedules across leagues that do different things? I think that's a really hard, tall order.' It's quite the rhetorical trick Pettiti is playing there, saying that because his conference is so big, you can't adequately determine strength by head-to-head matchups alone. And whose fault is that? It wasn't the selection committee that expanded the Big 'Ten' to 18 teams. Petitti isn't interested in creating a more equitable playoff, or in creating the conditions for better competition. He wants to pack the bracket with his schools, damn the optics or the on-field results. (Worth noting: the talent dropped off fast in the Big Ten after the top four last year. Would Iowa or Illinois, with their 6-3 conference records, be more deserving of an at-large spot than a whole range of other options? No.) Petitti understands that there are spots that need to be filled — both now and in the 16-team playoff to come — and he wants those guaranteed for his conference, not subject to the whims of a playoff selection committee. But guaranteed bids are the very antithesis of 'settle it on the field,' and run counter to literally every 'you gotta earn it!' mantra preached by every coach from the beginning of time. It's no surprise why the ACC and Big 12 hate the idea, and it's also no surprise what's driving the Big Ten's push to claim as much inventory as possible. We're not exactly breaking news here to note that money trumps tradition at every single level of college sports now. Tradition only has value for universities, and especially for broadcast partners, to the extent it can be monetized. Yes, it's wonderful that you can hum along to your alma mater's fight song … but maybe you can kick in a few bucks to the ol' athletic capital campaign while you're at it? That rivalry you enjoyed your entire life … well, your rival just didn't have deep enough pockets to join a new conference. Shame to lose that, really, but how about a replacement conference game against a school from halfway across the country? That's almost as good, right? Tradition has no place in the College Football Playoff. This is about inventory, plain and simple, and every business wants to create enough inventory to meet demand. Except here, instead of cereal boxes on a grocery shelf or burgers on a restaurant warming tray, the inventory in question is college football playoff games. Broadcasters want more inventory because each playoff game is a highly monetizable asset. Universities want more inventory because each nationally televised game means more exposure, more alumni goodwill, more broadcast dollars. Fans might want more inventory because … well, more football is good football, right? Yeah, not so much. Sure, there's always the chance that a Cinderella will knock out a Goliath, to mix literary metaphors, but given the wide variance between college football haves and have-lesses, the more likely outcome is what we saw last year: the big dogs carving right through the happy-to-be-here teams. You know the best way to ensure competitive playoff games? Narrow the field down to the best four and let them have at it. Wild idea, right? We're never going back there, meaning college football fans are now living a truth that plagues everything from pizza to music to Marvel movies: As quantity goes up, quality goes down.
