Texas A&M star OL has officially announced his return for the 2025 season
On Tuesday afternoon, Texas A&M starting offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III announced his official return for the 2025 season during an interview with TexAgs' Ali Russell, as the senior left tackle could have declared for the 2025 NFL Draft but opted to improve his future stock.
On paper, Texas A&M OL coach Adam Cushing has managed to keep the entire 2024 offensive line intact, and outside of losing several reserve players, led by sophomore center TJ Shanahan, who transferred to Penn State earlier this month.
Still, Zuhn re-joins left guard Chase Bisontis, center Mark Nabou, right guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams, and right tackles Dametreious Crowover and Reuben Fatheree. Zuhn's importance is undeniable, as the veteran pass protector possesses the size, strength, and athleticism to become a first-round draft pick.
During the 2024 season, Zuhn was rated as one of the top-performing tackles by Pro Football Focus, earning a 75.1 overall grade, 81.1 pass-blocking grade, and 67.9 run-blocking grade.
Offensively, Texas A&M's passing game under quarterback Marcel Reed will be dictated by the protection up front, as Zuhn's return should only boost his confidence under center.

Where does the Iowa football 2026 recruiting class rank after Cash Herrera's decommitment?
Following the decommitment of three-star quarterback Cash Herrera, Iowa football's 2026 recruiting class currently consists of nine players. Depending on the site, Iowa has anywhere from one to three four-star prospects, with the rest of the class regarded as three-star commits. The Hawks have focused heavily in the trenches, with six of the nine commits in the class being either an offensive or defensive lineman. Certainly Kirk Ferentz and recruiting director Tyler Barnes are high on this class, but what do national recruiting sites think? Site are mixed on Iowa football's 2026 recruiting class Iowa's 2026 class has an aggregate ranking of 47th across 247Sports, On3 and Rivals. ESPN released their top 25 recruiting classes for 2026 and Iowa was not featured among the 25 teams or in the honorable mentions. Here's where each individual site currently ranks Iowa football's 2026 recruiting class: What's next for the 2026 class? While the national rankings don't look great, it's important to note that it's still early in the process. At this time last year, Iowa's 2025 class had only eight commits. The Hawkeyes finished with 16 signees and the country's 42nd-ranked class according to the averaging ranking from those three sites. Iowa's eight commits are tied for the fourth-fewest in the Big Ten. Only Michigan, Oregon, Maryland and Nebraska have fewer commits at this time. As the Hawks add more commits, their national and conference rankings will continue to rise. Iowa is hosting a number of key visitors this weekend, including uncommitted targets CJ Hester, Julian Manson, Kasen Thomas, Darion Jones and Mason Lewis. There's also the transfer portal, which Iowa will be able to hit after the 2025 season. The Hawkeyes are bringing in nine transfers this season and will continue to look to the portal going forward. With upcoming visit days, the 2025 season and the transfer portal to follow, Iowa's 2026 recruiting class should start to climb the rankings soon.

Ravens' Malaki Starks Receives Preseason Honor
Ravens' Malaki Starks Receives Preseason Honor originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Baltimore Ravens had a clear focus on defense in this year's draft, and addressed a subpar secondary from last season with their first-round pick. Advertisement General manager Eric DeCosta spent the No. 27 overall pick on Georgia safety Malaki Starks, and the selection was called "the best defensive fit of the first round" by ESPN. DeCosta said Starks was one of the best Combine interview they had and considered the Georgia defender the best safety in the draft. Starks has been named to All-Rookie Team by Gennaro Filice. "Starks is represented by Nicole Lynn, but the trailblazing agent has a serious competitor when it comes to the dogged promotion of her client: ME! Seeing how my infatuation with the safety approached stalker levels during this draft cycle, his placement here was guaranteed the moment I was handed this assignment," Filice wrote. Advertisement "The fit in Baltimore is perfect, as Starks' center field chops will allow Kyle Hamilton to return to the overhang role that made him a first-team All-Pro in 2023. And Malaki has already endeared himself to his head coach." Ravens coach John Harbaugh has been impressed with Starks since Day 1. 'He was organizing walk-throughs at the hotel for the rookies pretty much the whole camp -- I think that's pretty cool,' Harbaugh said last week. 'He's always on point.' It's likely that Starks can be a Week 1 starter too. The Ravens kept free agent Ar'Darius Washington, who started the final 12 games of the season including the playoffs at safety. But he's struggled to stay healthy and has played more than three games just one time in four seasons. Advertisement "This was a guy that really checked every single box for us in a lot of different ways," DeCosta said. "There were some other players that we coveted it as well, but in the end, he was by far the best guy available for us when we made the pick."
