Social media reacts to Nebraska landing wide receiver Nalin Scott
Nebraska football was able to flip a commitment from class of 2026 four-star wide receiver Nalin Scott. He made the announcement on social media Friday afternoon. Scott is the No. 63 overall wide receiver in the 2026 class and the No. 47 overall player in his class from the state of Georgia, according to the On3 recruiting rankings. He had a productive season for McEachern High School last year. He tallied 29 receptions for 541 yards and two touchdowns. The wide receiver had been committed to Arizona State before switching his commitment to Nebraska. The decision should not have come as much of a surprise, as Scott visited Nebraska last week, and ASU does not allow commits to take visits to other schools, so a change was likely coming. With this commitment, Nebraska now has its second blue-chip prospect of the class. The class itself has nine commitments in total and ranks No. 18 overall in the Big Ten. Social media reacted to the news of Scott heading to the Huskers, find some of the best reactions below. Flips Peer recruiting Arizona State to Nebraska Flip Alert!

2026 4-star safety receives second prediction to land with Texas A&M
Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class already includes four-star Chace Collins, who chose the Aggies over Texas Tech earlier this month. Outside of four-star South Carolina-based safety Tamarion Watkins, four-star safety Tylan Wilson, one of the hardest hitters in the cycle out of Mississippi, has received a second prediction to land with Texas A&M, according to Rivals insider Sam Spiegelman. Wilson had been connected to Clemson during the latter half of his recruitment. Still, after his official visit to College Station, the versatile defensive back feels that Texas A&M's defense is a perfect fit for his skill set, as coach Mike Elko is well known as one of the nation's better defensive back developers. However, credit also goes to defensive coordinator Jay Bateman and defensive back coaches Jordan Peterson and Ishmael Aristide. As I've previously stated, landing safety prospects who can cover the deep parts of the field while serving as hybrid linebackers is vital, especially in SEC play, where most programs are capable of both passing and running effectively enough to counter any defensive weakness. Last season, the Aggies' safety rotation was average at best, primarily due to a lack of symmetry and the introduction of a new defensive system. If Elko and his staff land Wilson, they have achieved their goal of securing at least two safeties, barring Tamarion Watkins' decision on July 13. Standing at 6-2 and 185 pounds, Wilson is currently positioned as Rivals' 13th-ranked safety, and the 10th-ranked prospect in Mississippi. Wilson will announce his decision on July 18.

Anthony Richardson talks Florida playoff chances, DJ Lagway while in Gainesville
Former Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson sees his alma mater making some noise in the 2025-26 College Football Playoffs with DJ Lagway leading the program. Richardson, a third-year starter for the Indianapolis Colts, was back in Gainesville last weekend for his Read Like a Gator initiative with the Boys & Girls Club of Northeast Florida. Children aged 6 to 16 participated in a free football skills academy featuring Richardson, as well as other NFL players and a handful of Florida Gators players. While he was there to help with the community event, Richardson naturally took time to comment on the program he's followed since he was a kid in Gainesville. "I'm actually looking forward to them running the playoffs this year," Richardson said of Florida. "So, I feel like they're gonna turn it around. It only takes a matter of time and the right plays a game, so, I trust in (Napier) and I believe in him." Richardson was there for the first year of the Billy Napier era in Gainesville and can't help but feel proud of his former coach for weathering the storm and ending Year 3 with one of the hottest teams in the country. "He's always been focused on winning," he said. "Whether that's having those rough couple of years, especially the first year when I was there, we were looking forward to having something better than what we produced. But he's been sticking through it, sticking through all the fire, and last year they had a pretty good season. Anthony Richardson weighs in on DJ Lagway Like most of the college football world, Richardson is high on Florida quarterback DJ Lagway. While it's natural to support someone a generation down the line of succession, Richardson had some genuine praise for the sophomore's big arm. "He's a great player, "Richardson said of Lagway. "I like watching him ball ... I don't really bother him too much because he's already doing great things … He's young right now, but you can't really tell. He doesn't act his age at all. He's a phenomenal leader and I've never seen him really get too high or too low on himself, he's always trying to work. He's always asking me questions about how to get better and do certain things, and I always tell him, 'Man, just keep doing you and just keep working. Everything's going to take care of itself.'" Richardson also conceded that Lagway might already have as strong an arm as him.
