SIAP - Howard Cross III is getting some pre-season recognition. Athlon & Lindy's both have him as 1st Team Defense Line.
Hope he can build on last years season. In my opinion, he's one of the more important players for us to have returning.
Very happy for him!

The inaugural UFL Championship Game is scheduled for Sunday at 5 p.m. ET in St. Louis. WR Kevin Austin Jr. plays for the Birmingham Stallions, and is the team's fourth-leading receiver with 15 catches for 253 yards and 2 TDs. TE Alizé Mack has 8 receptions for 57 yards and 2 touchdowns for the San Antonio Brahmas.

I know a crazy question but I was wondering if Golden has ever ran any 3-4? Or is he ever would? I’m asking because with guys like Sevillano and Dixon coming up and all the depth at LBer it seems like the opportunity is there to run some 3-4.

I'll have a visitors preview with more details by Friday, but I wanted to share the latest expected official visitors list.

UPDATE | Here's the visitors preview:

2025 COMMITS
Four-star RB Daniel Anderson
Four-star TE James Flanigan
Four-star CB Dallas Golden
Four-star LB Dominik Hulak (recruited at vyper)
Three-star LB Ko'o Kia
Four-star DE Joseph Reiff
Four-star LB Anthony Sacca
Three-star DE Gordy Sulfsted (recruited at defensive tackle)
Four-star CB Cree Thomas
Four-star CB Mark Zackery

As I suggested in today's intel thread, four-star cornerback Jahmir Joseph has committed to Penn State. Notre Dame had recruited Joseph as both a cornerback and safety. Notre Dame may need to expand its safety board if it doesn't add JaDon Blair and/or can't hold onto Ivan Taylor.

Happy Valley Insider has coverage:

Well the Saskatchewan Roughriders are ahead 21-6 against Winnipeg starting the fourth quarter with Jack Coan at quarterback. He just ran for the first down out of the zone read option.

11th trip on deck ...

@RivalsFriedman asked me to contribute to his Fact or Fiction today. His prompt: Riley Leonard will lead Notre Dame to the College Football Playoff.

The two of us agreed.
