Social media reacts to Clemson landing 4-star defensive end Dre Quinn over Texas
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound pass rusher out of Buford (Ga.) announced his decision on Thursday, choosing the Tigers over Texas. Notre Dame and Georgia had also been contenders earlier in the process, but Quinn trimmed his list to Clemson and Texas earlier this week and canceled a scheduled visit to South Bend.
Quinn first visited Clemson last November for the Louisville game and received an offer shortly afterward. He returned in March for the program's Elite Retreat and made his official visit to Clemson during the first weekend of June. Texas and Georgia also hosted him for officials, but Dabo Swinney and his staff were able to close the deal.
Rated the No. 105 overall prospect in the country by Rivals, Quinn is also ranked the No. 13 edge rusher nationally and the No. 15 player in Georgia. He's now the second edge rusher to commit to Clemson in the 2026 cycle, joining JR Hardrick. The Tigers now have 19 verbal pledges in a class currently ranked among the top five nationally by Rivals.
Here's how social media reacted to Dre Quinn committing to Clemson:

Previewing the 2025 season for Texas A&M OL Trey Zuhn III with his player profile
As we gear up for the 2025 football season, Aggies Wire is breaking down every player on the Texas A&M roster. Throughout the preseason, each profile will highlight a player's background, recruiting rankings out of high school, and projected role under head coach Mike Elko. Trey Zuhn III is one of three Aggies on the offensive line considered among the premier players at his position in the conference. He's held a starting spot since his redshirt freshman season and routinely picked up awards at the team's annual banquets. He was part of the group that helped the running game rank 26th in the nation and second in the SEC, averaging 195.5 yards per game. Zuhn could have entered the NFL Draft this year after a season in which he was named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week and earned a spot on the 2024 All-SEC Third Team. Instead, he chose to return for a chance to compete for an SEC title and improve his stock ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Preseason Player Profile Recruiting Rankings (Class of 2021) The former four-star prospect was a top recruit out of Colorado, where he was a two-sport athlete, competing in shot put and discus alongside football. Depth Chart Outlook Trey Zuhn III is a Day 1 starter at left tackle and is expected to be one of several Aggies linemen drafted in 2026. His size, footwork, and impressive athleticism make him one of the most important players on the 2025 roster, protecting Marcel Reed's blindside throughout the season.

Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 38: a history of the number and who wore it best
The Steelers countdown to kickoff is here — and we're at 38 days until Pittsburgh faces off against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. In the spirit of the countdown, we're taking a look at the history of No. 38 and the players who wore it best. Current Steelers No. 38 wearer: RB Evan Hull Evan Hull is the current No. 38 wearer on the Steelers roster. Drafted by the Colts with the 176th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, Hull appeared in just two games for Indianapolis before he signed a reserve/future contract with the Steelers this past January. He aims to compete for a spot in Pittsburgh's restructured RB room this season. Last five Steelers to wear No. 38: Best No. 38 in Steelers history: RB Sidney Thornton No. 38 doesn't have the storied Steelers history of other jersey numbers — but the best to ever wear it was RB Sidney Thornton. Drafted by Pittsburgh with the 48th overall pick in the second round of the 1977 NFL Draft, Thornton played primarily in a backup role behind Hall of Fame RB Franco Harris. He accumulated 2,027 yards from scrimmage and 24 total touchdowns across 74 games, winning two Super Bowls with the Steelers. An underrated offensive contributor from the greatest era in franchise history, Thornton holds the top spot at No. 38.
