The Oregon Ducks weren't the first team to land a commitment from four-star interior offensive lineman Tommy Tofi, but that doesn't mean they're done pursuing him. The Cal Bears commit has only been on the former Pac-12 rivals' verbal list for two weeks, but Oregon might be feeling more confident after figuring out Tofi's priorities. Tofi visited the Ducks this past weekend, surely sending some worrying signs to the Bears' coaching staff about whether they can keep one of their top targets.

The Ohio State Buckeyes were routinely annoyed in 2024 when head coach Ryan Day was constantly asked about how his roster spent $20 million. While the eventual National Champions made the most of their investment, it was far from a pay-to-play roster. Homegrown talent like Jack Sawyer, TreVeyon Henderson, and countless others made clutch plays throughout the season.

The Texas Longhorns might've been discouraged last week when elite four-star cornerback Justice Fitzpatrick committed to Georgia, but Tuesday night's news was far more damaging for their efforts. Texas was set to host Fitzpatrick on campus this coming weekend for an official visit. Instead, Fitzpatrick "shut down his recruitment," per On3's Hayes Fawcett. The No. 4 cornerback in the 2026 class is solely considering Georgia now.

The Ohio State Buckeyes may have been looking for a new head football coach if Ryan Day hadn't pulled off a miraculous College Football Playoff in 2024-25. The Buckeyes were loaded on both sides of the ball, but an untimely demise against Michigan for the fourth-straight year left fans bitter and demoralized. A run to his first National Championship victory saved Day and should keep him in Columbus for many more years, unless he decides to pursue the NFL or another venture.

If you grew up in the 2000s and were an Ohio State Buckeyes fan, then Ted Ginn Jr. was likely one of your all-time favorite playmakers. The speedster created big plays out of nowhere, and his incredible knack for clutch moments for a team that had become a major national power was one of the defining tenures for the era. Ginn was drafted much higher than most expected, and the Miami Dolphins took the Buckeyes receiver ahead of Brady Quinn.
