With the release of the Athlon Sports 2025 College Football Preview Magazine, it's time to take a look at the best of the best and honor the top players in the league with a release of first, second, third and fourth all-conference teams for '25.
An important note on the all-conference teams: These are based on how players will perform in 2025. Career statistics and awards matter in the evaluation, but choosing players for the 2025 all-conference team is largely based on predicting and projecting the best for the upcoming year. Also, team strength does not play a role in selections. These are the best individual players at each position in the league for '25.

Where UM stands in competition for numerous prospects planning to announce in next 2 weeks
The Miami Hurricanes already have a loaded 2026 recruiting class that is ranked sixth by 247 Sports and includes 18 players, a group led by offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell, considered one of the nation's top five prospects. But Miami isn't done. The Canes are awaiting clarity from well over a dozen players, including several who are planning announcements in the next two weeks. An update on the players that the Canes have pursued, their announcement dates and where they stand: ▪ Planning to announce Thursday: Four-star safety Devin Jackson, who plays for The First Academy in Orlando. He says he will choose among Miami, Oregon, LSU, Florida and Nebraska. predicts he will pick Oregon. He had 80 tackles and two interceptions last season; 247 rates him the No. 22 safety in the country. ▪ July 5: Buford, Georgia-based five-star defensive tackle Bryce-Perry Wright, who will announce a school at 5 p.m. This has turned into an interesting three way battle among Clemson (which has been pegged for weeks as the favorite) and UM and Texas A&M, who are pushing hard for the 6-2, 250-pound lineman. 247 Sports ranks him the 32nd best player overall in the 2026 class and the No. 2 defensive lineman. ▪ July 5: Miami Northwestern five-star receiver Calvin Russell plans an announcement at 5 p.m. Saturday, but the odds seems against UM. Russell said this week that UM is not in his top three. He told 247 Sports that FSU, Michigan and Oregon are the schools 'I like the most.' Is there a chance he could pick one of the other schools not in his top five (LSU or UM)? 'Somewhat but not really,' he told 247. The 6-5 Russell is rated by 247 Sports as No. 3 receiver and No. 21 player overall. The loss of another local receiver, in the wake of former five-star Chaminade Madonna star Jeremiah Smith picking Ohio State two years ago, would sting for UM, which must hope that Russell is trying to fool everyone with his public comments. ▪ July 6: Two prospects - Texas-based four-star receiver Brayden Robinson and Sarasota Booker High five-star cornerback Chauncey Kennon - are due to make their announcements on Sunday. UM reportedly is no longer in the mix for Kennon. 247 Sports - which ranks second among all cornerbacks and 27th overall - predicts he will pick FSU. The 5-8 Robinson, ranked 41st among all receivers by 247, is widely expected to select Notre Dame. ▪ July 11: Devonte Anderson, a three-star cornerback who attends West Orange High in Winter Garden, visited UM last month and will pick among Miami, UCF, Auburn, Rutgers, Louisville and Maryland. 247 Sports rates him the 88th best cornerback. ▪ July 12: Duncanville, Texas-based three star tight end Zachary Taylor reportedly is leaning toward SMU over Miami; the Mustangs have gained momentum and Arkansas has also been pursuing him. The Canes landed their first tight end commitment for 2026 when skilled receiver Israel Briggs committed to Miami. ▪ July 12: Brunswick, Georgia-based tight end Heze Kent, a 6-6, 310 pounder who is rated by 247 Sports as the No. 167 player overall in the class. Different web sites have each identified three different leaders for Kent in the past month: 247 predicts he will pick Miami, while other web sites have called him an FSU lean or a likely future Gator. Kent also can play offensive tackle. ▪ July 13: Blake Stewart, the three-star Atlanta based safety, has been one of several UM priorities. 247 Sports predicts he will pick Clemson but the Canes have given him something to think about. Cooper news Derrek Cooper, the Hollywood Chaminade-Madonna High multi-position star who has been a high priority for UM, this week canceled his plans to announce his school on July 12. 247 Sports is predicting he still will pick the Hurricanes, who would play him at running back. Texas, Ohio State and Georgia remain in the mix. Per MaxPreps, Cooper ran 124 times for 905 yards (9.3 per carry) and 13 TDs last season while also catching nine passes for 156 yards and a touchdown. 247 Sports rates him the No. 3 athlete in the country, the No. 6 player in Florida and the 39th best prospect overall. Updates on other '26 targets Meanwhile, the Hurricanes - according to Canesport - have pulled even with Michigan for the services of four-star Jacksonville Mandarrin cornerback Brody Jennings, who remains a Michigan commitment. Ranked by as the No. 18 cornerback and the No. 129 overall prospect, Jennings told Canesport this week that Miami and Michigan are 'the same' in his rankings after summer visits to both schools, with Florida and FSU also under consideration. ▪ UM also continues efforts to flip Mississippi-based Tristan Keys, an LSU commit and considered the top receiver in the 2026 class (and a top-five overall prospect). Texas A&M and Tennessee also are in the mix. ▪ UM remains eager to land four-star Mobile, Alabama-based edge player Anthony Jones (who is also considering Alabama and Texas A&M, among others) and Mississippi-based defensive tackle Nolan Wilson, with Alabama, Ole Miss, UF and Auburn among his other options. Meanwhile, three-star interior guard Breck Kolojay, who plays for IMG Academy in Bradenton, is considering UM, Georgia and Southern California.

Cubs Reportedly Interested in Pirates Third Baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes
Cubs Reportedly Interested in Pirates Third Baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes originally appeared on Athlon Sports. How long is the Chicago Cubs' leash for rookie third baseman Matt Shaw? The Opening Day starter at the hot corner, Shaw was sent down to Triple-A Iowa for a period this season before reassuming his duties at third. Advertisement The 23-year-old has been better since his late May call-up, with a .246 batting average, a .655 OPS, one home run, and 10 stolen bases over his last 35 games. However, he is still at a .222 batting average, a .617 OPS, a 79 OPS+, and an 18:42 BB:K ratio for the year. Shaw's defense is also a work in progress, and it is unclear if he can remain a starter for a Cubs team with real World Series aspirations. Should Chicago look elsewhere for an improvement at the trade deadline, Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes could be a name to watch for: Here is the latest on Hayes: Hayes, 28, has three more years of club control at $7 million and two additional years at $8 million before facing a club option at $12 million in 2030. The Pirates are seemingly perpetual deadline sellers, but the division tax and Hayes' long-term contract should drive the price for the Cubs. Chicago Cubs third baseman Matt Shaw (6) bats in the second inning against the Houston Astros at Daikin Lysaker-Imagn Images Hayes is an excellent defender (2023 Gold Glove winner) with outstanding range, albeit a lackluster arm, and could provide Chicago with more stability on that side of the ball. Advertisement But his .246 batting average, .601 OPS, 67 OPS+, and just two home runs over 78 games are not exactly the ideal upgrade over Shaw. This is no down year, either, as Hayes, over six MLB campaigns and 554 games, has a .256 batting average, a .685 OPS, and an 89 OPS+. Hayes is an intriguing player, but the trade cost and risk of impeding Shaw's development, even in this crucial summer, do not feel like a wise move.

Cubs' Kyle Tucker Decision Could 'Gnaw' on Fans Amid Latest Rumors
Cubs' Kyle Tucker Decision Could 'Gnaw' on Fans Amid Latest Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Cubs signaled during the offseason that they wanted to win a World Series as early as this year. Trying to make a blockbuster trade, the Cubs did exactly that when they landed Kyle Tucker. Advertisement Tucker has been as good as advertised, and as a result, Chicago has been a better team than it has been over the recent years. Sitting in first place in the National League Central, despite struggling over the past 10 games, the Cubs are 49-35 and 4-6 in their last 10. Tucker has been a big part of their success, but there's a hefty price tag that will come along with keeping him. Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker (30) celebrates his home run against the St. Louis Cardinals in the third inning at Busch Vizer-Imagn Images When examining the entire situation, including who they traded him for and other factors, Northside Baseball recently noted that this trade could "gnaw" at the fan base for quite some time if Jed Hoyer doesn't secure a deal to retain his star this winter. Advertisement 'If Kyle Tucker walks, this trade could gnaw at Cubs fans for years. Some of that will just be in their heads, since again, Smith might not be this guy if he were still with the Cubs. Nonetheless, dealing a great prospect like Smith means the checkbook needs to be opened to keep Tucker around—if only for our collective mental health,' they wrote. Hoyer also has a contract that he has to figure out himself, as he only has a few months left on his remaining deal. If he can keep Tucker around, make the right moves at the deadline, and more, there would be a reason to keep him, too.
