Nebraska offers a top Alabama playmaker
Nebraska football offered 2027 four-star edge defender Jabarrius Garror on Tuesday. He made the announcement on social media.
Garror is the eighth overall edge defender in the 2027 class, and the third overall player in his class from the state of Alabama per the On3 recruiting rankings. He committed to the Crimson Tide on July 31, 2024.
The last couple of months have seen the Auburn Tigers and Crimson Tide really make a push for the linebacker. He has visited Alabama four times, all for unofficial visits. He most recently did so on March 27. He took a visit to Auburn on January 25.
He was a playmaking linebacker as a sophomore last season. He recorded 104 total tackles, 21.5 sacks, and five pass deflections, according to statistics from MaxPreps.com.
The Huskers could benefit from a playmaking edge defender like Garror. They have visits set up with several impact playmakers in the 2027 class, and he would definitely be a strong addition to a defense that is young but talented.

Nebraska has big success on the June recruiting trail
Biggest recruiting winners in June📈(via @adamgorney)Read: Nebraska football was named one of the big winners of June recruiting in a recent list compiled by Adam Gorney. The Huskers landed eight commitments in June alone, including headliners in four-star corner Danny Odem and four-star offensive tackle Claude Mpouma. This marked what was a busy month for the program, as they head into the month of July on a hot streak. Alabama, BYU, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Michigan State, Texas, and Texas A&M were also on the list as the season inches closer. The 2026 Nebraska football recruiting class ranks No. 15 in the conference with 12 total commitments per Rivals rankings. It remains to be seen if the Huskers will add to this class, as several decisions still have to be made. With that being said, there is no denying that the program was able to get things done in June and set themselves up nicely for the future in the process.

New Steelers TE Jonnu Smith makes waves on social media with Pittsburgh hype video
Create your own narrative. Let's get to it @steelers⚫️🟡 New Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith is ready to make his debut in Pittsburgh. Following the blockbuster trade that saw the Steelers send Minkah Fitzpatrick and a late-round pick swap to the Dolphins in exchange for Smith and All-Pro CB Jalen Ramsey, the Steel City's newest tight end took to social media to celebrate his arrival with a hype video. It's safe to say Smith is making a strong first impression with Steelers fans — and having Renegade playing throughout was a nice touch. In 2024, Smith caught 88 passes for 884 yards and seven touchdowns with Miami. His dominance really shined in the latter half of the season, as he caught seven of his eight touchdowns and totaled 537 receiving yards in his final eight games as a Dolphin. As a result, Smith was named to his first Pro Bowl after the breakout season. Fans were skeptical of the move, as the Steelers' tight end room was seemingly filled to maximum capacity — but insiders have revealed Smith could line up at a variety of different positions in 2025.

Insider: T.J. Watt told Steelers, ‘You're fortunate to have me', in past contract talks
The Steelers' contract talks with T.J. Watt continue to take center stage — but both parties have been down this road before, and one insider believes there's a connection to be made. According to CBS Sports insider Aditi Kinkhabwala, the issues between Watt and Pittsburgh resemble the 2021 contract negotiations — where, apparently, both sides had choice words for one another: 'Here's what the disconnect is,' Kinkhabwala said Wednesday on 93.7 The Fan. 'And this is what happened the last time around in these negotiations. T.J. Watt was openly told, 'You're fortunate to be a Steeler.' And his response was, 'You're fortunate to have me.'' Four years ago, both the Steelers and Watt were locked in a contractual stalemate that wouldn't be resolved until days before the regular season began — and many insiders agree a similar situation could take place this season. While it's important for everyone to take these reports and rumors with a grain of salt, if Pittsburgh truly wants to keep Watt, they very well could be forced to make him the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL.
