Nebraska scheduled to host a top class of 2027 running back target
He is very familiar with Nebraska and its campus, having visited the program eight times over the last year. The Huskers have been involved in his recruitment since last April. He most recently visited the program on April 3.
He was effective at running the football in 2024, carrying the ball 146 times for 1,011 yards and six touchdowns. He averaged 6.9 yards per carry and had six games of 100-plus rushing yards. He also proved effective at catching the football, tallying 11 receptions for 137 yards and two touchdowns.
Haine indicated that he liked Nebraska, but Kansas is recruiting him hard. Wisconsin is also recruiting him. That being said, he plans to attend a couple of Nebraska's home games, in addition to Wisconsin.
It sounds like this recruitment is certainly one that the Huskers are in. It will be interesting to see how it progresses throughout the year, as he has several visits scheduled.

Rivals Names Best College Football Recruit Since 2000
Rivals Names Best College Football Recruit Since 2000 originally appeared on The Spun. For the past 25 years, Rivals has handed out five-star grades to a plethora of college football recruits. However, there are a few in particular that stand the test of time. With the 2025 college football season almost here, Rivals took a trip down memory lane to name the top 32 recruits since 2000. Plenty of notable names made this list, such as Jadeveon Clowney, Percy Harvin and Julio Jones. The top five kicked off with former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton. It's safe to say he lived up to the hype, winning an MVP during his NFL career. The No. 4 recruit on this list was none other than Florida legend Tim Tebow. He won a Heisman Trophy and two national titles during his time in Gainesville. Legendary NFL running back Adrian Peterson claimed the No. 3 spot in the all-time Rival rankings. Where things really get interesting is the top two. Texas legend Vince Young was named the second-best recruit since 2000. There's no doubt he left his mark on the Longhorns. At the end of the day though, it was USC running back Reggie Bush who took home the No. 1 spot. "While playing alongside future No. 1 overall pick Alex Smith at Helix, Bush established himself as one of the most electric high school players both in California and across the country," Rivals wrote. "As a senior in 2002, he ran for 1,691 yards on 140 carries (12.1 YPC) and 27 touchdowns despite missing four games due to injury. He ultimately signed with USC and was one of the country's most dynamic players during the next three seasons, racking up 6,541 all-purpose yards and 52 touchdowns in the rushing, receiving and return game. Bush was a regular on SportsCenter's top-10 highlights and took home the Heisman Trophy in 2005 before declaring for the NFL Draft. He was taken No. 2 overall by the New Orleans Saints but struggled to have the same success at the pro level. He did, however, earn All-Pro honors in 2008." Do you agree with these rankings from Rivals?Rivals Names Best College Football Recruit Since 2000 first appeared on The Spun on Aug 4, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Aug 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

Latest 2026 bracketology projects UNC basketball to face familiar foe in NCAA Tournament
Preseason bracketology matchups rarely happen. The North Carolina Tar Heels' basketball program is looking to avoid what happened in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. After barely getting into the tournament, UNC beat San Diego State in the first four before falling to Ole Miss in the opening round. Season-long issues then resurfaced in the Tar Heels' loss to the Rebels and this past offseason saw an overhaul of the roster. In Joe Lunardi's latest round of 2026 bracketology, UNC earns a six seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament. North Carolina is projected to a familiar opponent, 11-seed San Diego State, who advances via winning a First Four matchup. If this actual matchup takes place, Lunardi will cement himself as the top bracketologist in college basketball history (not that he already isn't). Lunardi might anger fans occasionally, but he's pretty accurate. Whereas the Tar Heels carried a guard-heavy roster last year, their upcoming roster will be post-heavy. UNC will carry 7-footers Henri Veesaar and Ivan Matlekovic at center, plus 6'11" Jarin Stevenson and 6'9" Caleb Wilson at power forward. Senior Seth Trimble and Colorado State transfer Kyan Evans will hold down the North Carolina backcourt, with freshman Derek Dixon and Virginia Tech transfer Jaydon Young behind them. If the Tar Heels make a deep run into the NCAA Tournament, Hubert Davis won't have to worry about his job security. UNC's roster is much deeper this coming season, despite plenty of new players, but that depth needs to be proven during non-conference gameplay.

Former Notre Dame QB Steve Angeli praises Riley Leonard, discusses his clutch CFP play
Steve Angeli didn't receive a lot of playing time for Notre Dame last season because Riley Leonard was firmly entrenched as the starting quarterback. For the season, Angeli went 24-of-36 passing for 268 yards and three touchdowns against zero interceptions. But the now Syracuse Orange signal-caller did have an integral part in Notre Dame's run to the College Football Playoff national championship game. During the Orange Bowl CFP semifinal against Penn State, the now Indianapolis Colts rookie Leonard exited the game during the final drive of the second quarter with a possible head injury. Angeli came in to lead a 52-yard scoring drive that featured three third-down conversions and ended in a field goal that cut Notre Dame's deficit to 10-3 entering halftime of an eventual 27-24 Fighting Irish win. Angeli spoke to the local media at Syracuse on Monday about Leonard and that clutch FG drive. "That was the most fun I had playing football last year," Angeli told reporters … "Just having that opportunity was special." It's safe that say that while he didn't get to see the field often in South Bend, he loved his time there. Angeli, who completed 77 percent of his passes for 504 yards with seven touchdowns and one interception in 2023, has two years of eligibility remaining with the Orange.
