Texas A&M's latest injury report ahead of facing No. 2 Arkansas on Thursday
Since being shut 10-0 and held hitless against Tennessee in the first game of the series, A&M's offense erupted for 26 runs in the following Saturday doubleheader, including a 17-6 win to finish the series. Against the Gamecocks, Caden Sorrell's walk-off home run in Game 1 led to a 17-0 run-rule win on Friday night, leading to Texas A&M's largest comeback in program history.

Down 12-2 in the bottom of the sixth, the Aggies chipped away, adding five runs heading into the ninth, only to load the bases with graduate DH Hayden Schott delivering a timely grand slam to bring the Aggies within one score. Texas A&M's patience at the plate continued to pay off in the final frame, as junior SS Kaeden Kent, for the second time in his career, stepped up to the plate with bases loaded with two outs, destroying an inside fastball for his second career walk-off grand slam.
The Aggies are riding high, but the Razorbacks are No. 2 for a reason, boasting an elite pitching rotation with a 3.65 ERA, a batting average of .330, and rank third nationally with 84 home runs, compared to Texas A&M's 59.
According to the newest injury report, Texas A&M enters the game as healthy as last weekend. At the same time, first baseball Gavin Kash is listed as "probable" with the potential to return to the lineup by Friday or Saturday. However, Blake Binderup, who was recently named SEC Player of the Week, has been one of the Aggies' best bats since last week, meaning Kash could be a candidate to play left field to keep Binderup at first.
For the Razorbacks, second baseman Nolan Souza, who was injured against Georgia will miss Thursday's game, while pitcher Parker Coil is also out.
Texas A&M will head to Fayetteville to face No. 2 Arkansas. Game 1 is slated for Thursday and will air on the SEC Network at 7:00 p.m. CT.

Levi Slawson, Sawyer Lindblad top competition at U.S. Open of Surfing
More than 120 surfers from all over the world converged on the south side of the Huntington Beach Pier during the past week to compete in the U.S. Open of Surfing, and when all was said and done, two Southern California locals came away with the men's and women's crowns. Levi Slawson of Encinitas outlasted an aggressive Mateus Herdy of Brazil in the men's final, while San Clemente's Sawyer Lindblad beat 14-year-old Tya Zebrowski of France in the women's final to win her second Open, each winner taking home $20,000 in prize money. The men's final finished with so much drama that it left the thousands watching from the beach and pier in silence, waiting to hear the final scores after the horn sounded to end the 35-minute heat. Slawson put up an early score of 7.33 to set the tone for the heat, leaving Herdy to do what he does — catch as many waves as possible and turn it into an air show. Herdy rode a remarkable 18 waves in the heat, most of them coming in the final half of the heat after Slawson's second score of 6.17 gave him the lead, 13.50 to 10.57. Slawson held onto priority, letting Herdy attempt to pull off a big air on multiple waves in an effort to get the 7.93 he needed to take the lead. The strategy seemed to be working until the final minute, when Herdy took to the sky and landed an air reverse, before connecting to the inside. Slawson caught one last wave in the final 10 seconds, but it would not figure into the scoring, meaning Herdy's score on his final wave would determine the winner. The beach went silent as Slawson straddled his board and waited patiently for the judges' scores to be announced — 7.70, just slightly shy of the 7.93 he needed, and the beach erupted with Slawson winning, 13.50 to 13.27. 'I gave Mateus a chance at the end, I should have just taken that wave off him,' Slawson said. 'You just never really know in those pressure moments, so I was just waiting and hoping for the best.' While Herdy was riding everything in sight, Slawson remained cool, picking and choosing his spots. 'I knew exactly what Mateus was going to do, I've surfed a bunch of heats against him,' Slawson said. 'I knew he was going to ride a ton of waves, and for me I was going to stick to my strategy and get my two good waves. And when I got my two good waves, I was going to sit right next to him and hold him off any opportunities.' The victory for Slawson was huge, considering he got off to a rough start on the Challenger Series (CS), which is the stepping stone to the Championship Tour (CT). He was ranked No. 48 on the CS before the Open, which qualifies the top 10 to the CT at the end of the seven-event season. The victory propelled Slawson to No. 4. 'For me to take my first win on the Challenger Series, it means everything,' he said. 'I've dreamt of winning a contest this big my whole life. I haven't ever had a win this big in my career. I knew I had it in me, and I'm grateful for my support team.' In the women's final, Lindblad, 19, surfed a near-perfect heat technically, putting up numbers early, taking the lead and then playing the priority game in the final minutes to hold off Zebrowski, 13.17 to 12.57. 'Definitely pretty stressful letting her go on some of those waves,' Lindblad said. 'But I knew that I couldn't let her have priority with a couple of minutes left. It's super important to hang onto it until the very end.' Lindblad was able to surf the contest free and easy, considering she has already qualified for next year's CT, ranked No. 11 in the world. So the results from the Open were not crucial for her. 'Yeah, I felt like I could just relax and surf,' she said. 'Even at the end, I wasn't even that stressed. I was like, whatever happens, happens.' What happened is Lindblad became one of only a handful of women's surfers to win the Open twice, also taking home the honors in 2023. 'This event is iconic and is an event I've always wanted to win,' she said. 'And to do it twice is surreal. I'm just really grateful. 'I feel like '23 it was more shocking and surprising when I won. And it was what made my career, getting me on the CT. This year I didn't feel like an underdog.' Huntington Beach's Kanoa Igarashi made it to finals day, but was ousted by Brazil's Michael Rodrigues in the quarterfinals, 12.76 to 12.37. Igarashi led the entire heat until Rodrigues pulled ahead with just three minutes remaining. Right after coming up short in his heat, Igarashi left the beach to go home and pack for a Sunday night flight to Tahiti, site of the final CT contest of the season starting Thursday, in an effort to qualify for the championships in Fiji at the end of August. Igarashi is ranked No. 3 in the world and needs to finish in the top five to earn a chance at a world title. 'Tahiti's been on my mind the past two weeks, but I was so happy to compete at home,' he said. 'The last few days have been really fun, so I've just been enjoying myself.' Falling short of winning what would have been his third Open title reminded Igarashi of what he needs to focus on moving forward. 'That's competition,' he said. 'One mistake can lead to a heat loss. Even my first couple heats, I could have made a mistake and lost first round or second round. At this level, everyone is surfing so good that any little mistake is really costly, whether it's in the U.S. Open or next week in Tahiti. It's good though; it kept me sharp and is definitely a reminder that you can't leave the door open for anybody.'

Dolphins sign former Texas A&M star to bolster OL after Austin Jackson injury
NFL roster moves continue as former Texas A&M offensive lineman Germain Ifedi signs with the Miami Dolphins for his ninth season and fifth team.

Jimmy Horn Jr. turning heads at Panthers training camp with his speed and toughness
Colorado football currently has four receivers on NFL training camp rosters who were on the team last season. Other than the Jaguars' Travis Hunter, the standout has been Carolina Panthers rookie Jimmy Horn Jr. Horn was a sixth-round pick by the Panthers in the 2025 NFL draft, but after a fantastic offseason, he is looking like a steal of the draft. With his speed and toughness, Horn is everything a team would want out of a sixth-round receiver. In a recent mock scrimmage at Bank of America Stadium, Horn impressed once again, scoring the first touchdown for the second team offense. Horn was in motion before the snap and then snuck underneath, and quarterback Andy Dalton found him for an easy walk into the endzone. While it was not a typical go-ball that the speedy Horn should see plenty of this season, it was a play that Colorado ran a ton with Horn. Get him the ball in space and let his open-field ability do the rest. Panthers head coach Dave Canales has loved what he has seen from the rookie receiver so far. "I think it's the energy he plays with," said Canales to "He doesn't quit on routes, he continues after the normal part of the protection he can count on, he continues to find space and play fast, and, it's a credit to his fitness, but it's also a credit to just the energy that he puts out there, that you want to throw to him." While sixth-round picks are far from guaranteed to make the final 53-man roster, Horn's performances through the offseason have made it almost a forgone conclusion that he makes Carolina's final group. The Panthers and Shedeur Sanders, Cleveland Browns, will have joint practices this week before each team's first preseason game on Friday, Aug. 8. Follow Charlie Strella on X, Threads and Instagram.
