🧃Why Arch Manning won’t declare for the NFL Draft after next season
Despite the last name, Arch Manning is unlikely to bolt for the NFL after just one season as the starter. J.D. explains why development, patience, and Texas’ long-term plan play into Arch’s timeline — and why fans should be more focused on 2026 than 2025 when it comes to his draft stock.
🧃Why Oklahoma fans can believe in John Mateer at quarterback
Many Sooner fans are wondering if John Mateer is the guy. J.D. breaks down Mateer’s athleticism, command of the system, and chemistry with Ben Arbuckle's offensive design — making the case that OU has a massive upgrade under center heading into 2025 SEC combat.
National perception check: What does the country really think of Notre Dame?
Notre Dame is always in the spotlight — but are they still viewed as an elite program by the broader college football world? J.D. digs into national media narratives, recruiting momentum, and recent big-game performances to assess whether the Fighting Irish brand still carries heavyweight status.
🧃 Michigan’s identity with Bryce Underwood leading the offense
The Wolverines are entering a new era — and all eyes are on 5-star QB Bryce Underwood. J.D. explains how Michigan’s traditional power-run identity may evolve with Underwood’s dual-threat talent and what that means for the Big Ten title race going forward.
🧃How big is it that DJ Lagway is throwing again for Florida?
After a brief injury scare, DJ Lagway is back to throwing — and that’s a huge sigh of relief for Florida fans. J.D. explains why Lagway’s development is central to Billy Napier’s success, the Gators’ 2025 hopes, and whether he can elevate Florida back into SEC contention.
