Social media reacts to David Stone staying at Oklahoma
The Oklahoma Sooners have made several significant additions via the transfer portal. But perhaps the biggest portal news came when David Stone decided to withdraw his name from the transfer portal on Sunday night.
John Mateer and Jaydn Ott were huge additions for the Oklahoma Sooners offense. But retaining a player of David Stone's potential at a premium position from Oklahoma, with three years of eligibility remaining, was enormous. Oklahoma couldn't afford to lose a significant piece of their defensive tackle rotation for 2025 and a guy likely to start at defensive tackle as soon as this year but at least by 2026.
David Stone is a cornerstone piece for the foundation of Brent Venables' defense and Oklahoma was able to keep him in Norman where Stone can continue to develop into the player that everyone believes he can be.
Sooner Nation was ecstatic with the news of Stone's return and here's how social media reacted to the former five-star staying in Norman.

Former Texas A&M outfielder Braden Montgomery is making noise in AA with Birmingham Barons
Former Texas A&M outfielder Braden Montgomery experienced a shaky start in Double-A ball after being promoted from the Winston-Salem Dash to the Birmingham Barons, but he's beginning to find his stride. Over the last two games, Montgomery has flashed the tools that earned him the call-up, quieting doubts and reigniting excitement around his development. August is still in its early days, yet Montgomery has posted an impressive .500 on-base percentage (OBP) and a 1.250 slugging percentage (SLG), signaling a red-hot beginning in Double-A. While the organization expects him to remain at this level for the rest of the season, there's growing optimism that he could make his major league debut as early as next year. The start wasn't easy. After going 2-for-13 with nine strikeouts in his first three games, Montgomery looked overmatched. But in his last two outings, he's turned a corner, going 3-for-8 with his first home run at this level. Though strikeouts remain a concern and could slow his path to the majors, his high ceiling and raw talent still mark him as one of the club's top prospects. Below are a few early clips from his stint with the Barons. First AA hit for Montgomery lands in centerfield Montgomery shows off his speed with his first AA steal Montgomery's first AA home run was a solo knock over the rightfield wall He doubles up on the day with his second hit off the game Contact/Follow us @AggiesWire on X and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes, and opinions.

Jase Summy adds Western Amateur, the 'biggest win of my life,' to Walker Cup resumé
Few players, if any, have had better summers than Ethan Fang. The Oklahoma State standout helped the Cowboys to an NCAA Championship in late May before flying across the pond and becoming the first American to win the British Amateur in nearly 20 years. After narrowly missing the cut at The Open, Fang co-medaled at this week's Western Amateur before storming through to the final with convincing wins over Huge Le Goff and Jacob Modleski, plus a hard-fought 3-and-1 result against Ben James. Like James, Fang is already on the U.S. Walker Cup team that will compete at Cypress Point this September. So, too, are Jackson Koivun, Michael La Sasso and Preston Stout, which leaves five spots still up for grabs. But on Saturday afternoon at Skokie Country Club, Jase Summy entered the chat. Summy, a rising senior at Oklahoma, dominated Fang, 6 and 5, to win the 123rd edition of the Western Amateur and tie the championship record for largest margin of victory in a final, equaling 6-and-5 marks by Phelps B. Hoyt (1901 over Bruce D. Smith) and John Klauk (2002 over Adam Rubinson). 'This is the biggest win of my life – by far,' Summy said. 'I knew my game was there, but I hadn't quite broken through. Today, I did.' Fang, ranked third in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, took just one hole against Summy, whom he grew up playing junior golf against in Texas. Fresh off a 19-hole victory over Florida's Zack Swanwick, Summy won five of the last six to end things before the 14th hole. 'It was a good week,' Fang said. 'Stroke play went great, and I was proud to co-medal. I did my best to stay focused, but I got a little tired and a little loose near the end. It didn't go my way, but that's golf.' Summy is projected to rise to seventh in the world, and with a T-3 at the Southern Amateur and T-12 at the Northeast Amateur this summer following a junior season that included a win and six other top-10s, he should feel confident about getting the call for Cypress. The final five Walker Cuppers are named after the U.S. Amateur, which begins a week from Monday at Olympic Club in San Francisco. With his win, Summy also received a sponsor exemption into next summer's NV5 Invitational, the Korn Ferry Tour stop outside of Chicago. 'This was a long, tough week,' Summy added. 'I prepared the right way, mentally and physically. I know I'm on the right path.'

Colorado football's 2026 offer letters are out of this world
Deion Sanders is quite possibly college football's leader when it comes to swag, and he has brought every ounce of his bravado to the Colorado Buffaloes football team. He has brought in refreshed uniforms, new gear and a superior culture that was severely lacking before his arrival. That swag is, of course, a significant presence in recruiting, and it put the program's 2026 offer letters over the top. The official offers were sent out to Colorado's class of 2026 verbal commits, and as of Friday evening, there are ten. Colorado's top-rated commit, defensive back Preston Ashley, showed off the letter in a social media post. The offer letter includes trading cards of each coach on Colorado's staff, with each emphasizing the NFL experience that is so abundant. Each card features a picture of the coach with their former NFL team, along with a couple of seemingly exclusive cards of Deion Sanders himself. It truly is a unique and creative way to showcase the coaching talent currently in Boulder to recruits. Each letter also comes with a personalized trading card that resembles a one-of-one collectible card. Colorado routinely goes above and beyond in their recruiting efforts, and these 2026 official offers are simply another example. Follow Charlie Strella on X, Threads and Instagram.
