Texas A&M freshman 5-star WR is looking healthy in latest video
Texas A&M's 2025 wide receiver rotation is built on speed and quickness, which should result in consistent separation in coverage after head coach Mike Elko and his staff landed KC Concepcion (NC State), Mario Craver (Mississippi State), and Jonah Wilson (Houston) from the transfer portal, while 2025 signees TK Norman, Kelshaun Johnson and five-star Jerome Myles represent the future rotation. However, after missing a majority of his senior high school season in Draper, Utah due to a knee injury, Jerome Myles is back and 100% healthy with an eye on contributing at a high level during the 2025 season, bringing his notable size at 6'2" and 220 pounds and speed that fits what Elko and OC Collin Klein are looking for to fill the void left by junior Noah Thomas, who transferred to Georgia this offseason. While many worried that health would be an issue after Myles was the last signee from the 2025 class to make it to campus, that is now in the rearview mirror, meaning getting up to speed with the rest of the wide receiver rotation is key to make an instant impact this fall. In a new video from Myles' Instagram, courtesy of On3/Rivals recruiting insider Jaxson Callaway, the Utah native is already looking the part before fall camp officially begins next week. For someone coming off an ACL injury, Myles is looking like a player with a chance to crack the starting lineup, but will more than likely be the No. 4 option for starting quarterback Marcel Reed once he gets acclimated to the speed of college offenses. Either way, this is a great sign for the Aggies, who know that no matter how long it takes, Jerome Myles is destined for stardom.

Wānaka woman wins at NZ book awards
Mandy Myles of online retailer Bookety Book Books has won the Titlepage Bookselling Trailblazer of the year, at the Aotearoa New Zealand Book Industry 2025 awards. PHOTO: SUPPLIED Mandy Myles, of online retailer Bookety Book Books, has won the Titlepage Bookselling Trailblazer of the year, at the Aotearoa New Zealand Book Industry 2025 awards. The judges said Ms Myles' initiative, smart thinking and sheer hard work saw her stand out from the other very worthy contenders. "Mandy has made some bold business decisions that have paid off. She has consciously and self-reflectively learned to work smarter, not harder, as a crucial lesson for long-term success. She has skilfully procured sponsorship and strategically beneficial partnerships, and her marketing and programming skills are among the best in the industry." Ms Myles said she was honoured to receive the award. "Absolutely blown away, it's such an honour to be recognised in an industry packed to the brim with legends." It was during the Covid-19 lockdown that Ms Myles got the idea for an online retail store, Bookety Book Books. Her pivot was completely out of the blue. She had studied fashion, worked in lingerie and fashion retail, including at 47 Frocks in Wānaka, and was an online fashion buyer. Ms Myles said she started the idea because she wanted to make reading more fun and accessible for those with busy lives. "I wanted to bring the feeling of community that independent bookstores create directly into people's homes in an effort to make reading feel fun and accessible for everyone." She posted some book recommendations on social media during lockdown, which sparked questions about where to get them. Ms Myles was inspired to provide an alternative option to major online booksellers, and in August last year, from her parents' spare bedroom, she launched a curated, sustainably packaged online book range for women aged 20 to 60. She believed reading could be very social. "Books spark such rich conversation, which inherently creates connection, whether you loved a book or not, there's always something to unpack with someone else who's read it. Being able to discuss stories with others is one of the true joys of reading."
