Aggie Football Alum Terrence Murphy hooks ownership role in SFC's Third Coast Renegades
Life after sports can be challenging for many athletes, especially when the game they devoted their lives to is no longer part of their daily routine. This is even more pronounced for professionals whose careers end abruptly due to injuries. There are countless cautionary tales of players struggling post-retirement, many of whom never planned for what came next or made poor financial decisions. That's why it's essential for athletes to seize opportunities to learn and build an identity beyond their sport. Terrence Murphy—former Texas A&M standout and Green Bay Packer—has done exactly that over the past two decades. Murphy was selected in the second round of the 2005 NFL Draft, but his promising career was cut short by a neck injury, forcing him to retire in 2007. Yet he was far from lost—he had already begun investing in real estate, laying a foundation for long-term success. Over the next 20 years, Murphy expanded his portfolio to include more than 100 companies across various sectors, including real estate, construction services, technology, venture capital, and sports. Beyond his regular youth camp in Bryan–College Station, Murphy has embraced the growing sport of pickleball, contributing as both an owner and media creator. His most recent move? Joining the ownership group of the Third Coast Renegades Angling Club, part of the Sport Fishing Championship (SFC). Founded in 2021, the SFC is a competitive sport fishing league representing 16 regions across North America. When asked what drew him to the Third Coast Renegades and the SFC, Murphy shared: "Fishing is about precision, patience, and purpose: the same values that drive successful teams and businesses. Through Third Coast Renegades AC, we're building something bigger than sport; we're creating legacy, community, and opportunity.' 'SFC is pioneering something new, and I'm proud to be part of it. And what also attracted me to SFC was the innovative team structure—they've built something truly unique by creating the camaraderie with teams and fans." Murphy's story serves as a powerful example for former athletes seeking purpose beyond the game. While not everyone will build an empire like his, they can discover something meaningful and fulfilling. Terrence Murphy has always been a go-getter, and it's exciting to imagine what he'll accomplish over the next 20 years.

Notre Dame coach Mike Mickens is coming in for high praise
The Fighting Irish secondary is in good hands Mike Mickens is earning high praise for his recruiting skills. The Notre Dame defensive backs coach is also getting praise for his coaching skills. Combine the secondary's play in 2024 and the Fighting Irish recruiting haul from this offseason, it's clear to see why. Mickens is seen as being responsible for bringing DB recruits Joey O'Brien, Khary Adams, Ayden Pouncey, Chaston Smith and Nick Reddish. We all know how dominant the 2024 secondary was, even after Benjamin Morrison got hurt. What Xavier Watts, Leonard Moore and Christian Gray did en route to the national title game was a sight to behold. Mickens will be a coach to watch in 2025.

Notre Dame football offers 4-star Florida 2027 defensive lineman, Santana Harvey
With Notre Dame football adding 2026 safety Nick Reddish on Friday, its is looking like that class is almost full and the focus will now be turned to the 2027 cycle. That proved true on Friday, as the Irish went to Florida and offered Santana Harvey, a 6-foot, 5-inch and 220-pound defensive lineman. He's considered one of the top players in the state, previously holding offers from teams like Oklahoma, Florida State, Michigan State and others. Harvey is ranked as the nation's No. 312 overall player in the 247Sports Composite, is coming off a sophomore season which saw him have 8.5 sacks, 16.5 tackles-for-loss and 60 total tackles. Those are extremely impressive numbers for a prospect who still has two more high school years left. While he has yet to make a visit to South Bend, according to John Garcia Jr. of Rivals, Harvey is working on scheduling a visit to see the Irish. Notre Dame has had very good success recruiting the state of Florida, as three of their 2026 commits hail from the state. They'll look to continue landing prospects from the Sunshine State, and Harvey is one of their next targets.
