Podcasts about San Diego State

Six in the morning, and the sand is cold. That is the part nobody posts.The highlight reels from Sean Lewis's program show Snapdragon Stadium under the lights and the Warrior Shield held high. What they don't show is a defensive back on his back in wet sand before sunrise, being reminded that paradise has a price when you play at San Diego State.That's the core of SDSU, and it's led by Sean Lewis.He joined today's episode of THE DAWN, a limited series highlighting the re-imagined Pac-12, a collaboration between Y-Option and the league.I've known Coach Lewis since his days at Kent State when he was a 31 year old head coach, and it was clear then, just like it is now, that his philosophy is clear and his leadership style is one that will continue to thrive.Two and a half years ago the giant was asleep. Now it's a 9 win team, a 1st round NFL pick out the door, and a program that was in the CFP discussion last November. Coach Lewis co-signs the idea without blinking that the champion of this new Pac-12 should be playing in the postseason in December.What's underneath it all is the story behind Coach Lewis's path to wearing a whistle. He grew up on the south side of Chicago, went to Wisconsin to play quarterback and ended up at tight end. He was the head coach at Kent State by 2018, took a stop in Boulder to work with Deion Sanders, and two years ago this Midwest QB found himself leading the Aztecs out West. He didn't draw this up. Nobody could have.Life's too short to huddle, he likes to say. One might argue life's too short to plan out one's path too. We just have to be present, enjoy the ride, and compete to impact people along the way.Safe to say Sean Lewis is doing that, and much more, as San Diego State enters the new look Pac-12.Much love and stay steady, YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

College football's next breakout stars and shocking disappointments are set to shake up the landscape. Can Josh Hoover redefine Indiana's offense after a tumultuous run at TCU? Will Dante Moore finally meet sky-high expectations at Oregon, or will injuries and tough competition derail the Ducks' hopes? Hot takes fly as quarterback battles—from Drew Mestemaker's transition to Oklahoma State, CJ Carr's evolution at Notre Dame, to Kevin Jennings' leadership at SMU—come under the spotlight. Coaching decisions put South Carolina's Shane Beamer and Baylor's Dave Aranda on the hot seat, while emerging programs like Washington, Missouri, and San Diego State are poised for surprise runs. The conversation focused on loaded receiver rooms (like Miami's), pivotal injuries, and whether teams like Florida State can survive brutal schedules. Key questions: Which “busts” will crumble under pressure, and which under-the-radar squads have what it takes to stun the college football world? Support us by supporting our sponsors!

The previous post covered my grades on how the strength of today’s four largest college athletic conferences compare with their previous versions twenty years ago in 2006. Here's a brief recap. In my estimation, only the SEC (which expanded from 12 to 16 teams over that 20 year period) has shown an upgrade in competition levels since 2006.  I awarded the SEC a “B” grade. The Big 12 (which lost four of its prominent members to the SEC) received a C+ for their nimble addition of several relevant regional sports schools. A “D” grade was handed down to the Atlantic Coast Conference.  Their nonsensical addition of West Coast newcomers Cal (Berkeley) and Stanford in 2024 crashed the ACC's overall score. Speaking of lousy grades, I awarded a D- to the Big Ten Conference as its recently-annexed properties have resulted in a BIG thud.  From the east (Maryland and Rutgers) to the west (Nebraska, Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington), the Big Ten’s new coast-to-coast configuration has failed to improve this conference for either sports fans or student/athletes. How have the five mid-major conferences fared with recent expansion issues? These other conferences (nicknamed the “Group of Five”) can be quite entertaining but rarely win national championships.  They must compete against the “Big Four” major conferences featuring the wealthiest college sports programs. American Athletic Conference (AAC) The AAC has only been around since the year 2013.  There were 10 initial AAC members and now 14 in 2026. Only Memphis, South Florida, and Temple remain from 2013.  The ACC raided Conference USA to obtain several of its new members. Army and Navy – What's not to like about these two additions?  They bring the focus of the entire college football world to their annual game played in early December.  Grades – A Charlotte – The 49ers have been perpetual cellar dwellers in most sports.  Charlotte, North Carolina sports fans are more likely to follow UNC, Duke, and Clemson.  Yawn.  Grade – D- East Carolina – The Pirates have made the NCAA baseball playoffs ten times since 2013 and have occasionally contended for the AAC title in football.  A hearty fan base makes ECU a fun place to watch sports.  Grade – B Florida Atlantic – A member of the AAC since 2023, this school is best known for its men's basketball team and having a great beach nearby.  Sadly, most local sports fans don’t give a hoot about the FAU Owls yet.  Grade – C- North Texas – The Mean Green had a brilliant 12-2 football season in 2025 in the school's third year as part of the AAC.  The other sports are lagging behind.  Grade – C Rice – Another third year AAC member, the Houston-based Owls have been an athletics flop in their new conference.  Grade – D Tulane – Green Wave football program has rejuvenated Tulane athletics down in the Crescent City.  Unfortunately, the remainder of the school’s sports teams rarely lead the AAC.  Grade – C Tulsa – Golden Hurricane football and men's basketball programs have been on the decline in the past decade.  That's a shame, because Tulsa fans desperately want to get behind the city’s lone major college athletics team.  Grade – C- UAB – Try as I might, I'm having trouble remembering any recent sports successes for the Blazers.  Grade – D- UTSA – Like Tulsa, the Roadrunners have the entire San Antonio market ready for their athletics programs to take off.  Other than some recent success in football, UTSA sports still appear to be taking a siesta.  Grade – C- AAC overall grade for expansion: C- Conference USA (C-USA) I am not going to provide individual grades to Conference USA member schools.  It is not their fault that C-USA management has done such a lousy job of keeping this conference together and relevant in major college sports. The conference has seen a 100% turnover in the past 20 years. Schools being added have generally been former FCS top teams such as Delaware, Sam Houston, and Jacksonville (AL) State. Things have declined so badly in Conference USA (“How badly have they declined?”) that longtime member Louisiana Tech recently agreed to pay a reported $8 million to buy its way out of C-USA.  The Bulldogs’ jubilant athletic department and fans are rejoining the Sun Belt Conference this fall.  Louisiana Tech will save more than $1 million annually in travel costs formerly required to travel to schools within the far-flung Conference USA. Longtime C-USA holdovers Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee State deserve a better fate.  Save your money and call the Sun Belt in a couple of years! C-USA overall grade for expansion –  F- Mid-American Conference (MAC) In contrast to Conference USA, the MAC has remained remarkably stable for the past 20 years. Eleven of the dozen MAC members in 2006 remain a part of the conference today.  Northern Illinois (which had been part of the MAC for 30 years) is leaving this fall to become part of the Mountain West Conference. In a couple of curious moves, the Mid-American Conference has added two new members recently. UMass – The 2025 addition of the University of Massachusetts (which is at least in regional proximity to longtime MAC member Buffalo) was rather questionable.  Athletic success at Umass has been nearly invisible over the past decade.  After just one year in the MAC, the Minutemen have been a net negative in sports for the Mid-American Conference.  Grade: D- Sacramento State – Seriously?  Yes, the Mid-American Conference will add this longtime FCS member from California to its football schedules this fall.  Sacramento (the #20 TV market) is 2,500 miles from the middle of Ohio. The Hornets will be a football-only member of the Mid-American Conference.  For the usually stable MAC, this is a rather bizarre expansion move.  Grade: F MAC overall grade for expansion:  D- Mountain West Conference (Mountain West) The Mountain West has survived a few departure tremors in recent years.  Of the nine Mountain West members 20 years ago, only Air Force, New Mexico, UNLV, and Wyoming remain.  Let’s review the teams which have come aboard since 2006. Hawaii – The Rainbow Warriors (2012) have posted winning football records in just four of their 14 seasons in the Mountain West.  The other athletic squads are nearly invisible in the post-season tournaments.  Hawaii remains a dream road trip destination for visiting teams and their fans, though.  Grade: C- Nevada – At least the men’s basketball team has appeared in the NCAA March Madness event five times over the past nine seasons.  Otherwise, fans of the Nevada Wolfpack (which joined the Mountain West in 2012) haven’t had much to howl about lately.  Grade: C- North Dakota State – This former FCS division powerhouse football program is stepping-up to play against the big boys beginning this fall.  The move is for football only. The Bison are a terrific geographic fit for the Mountain West Conference, too.  This makes sense.  Grade: A Northern Illinois – The Huskies will join the Mountain West this fall after 30 years in the Mid-American Conference.  Northern Illinois’ sports resume has weakened in recent years.  Other than bringing the #3 TV market (Chicago) to the Mountain West, this move makes little sense.  Grade: D San Jose State – The Spartans (members since 2013) have appeared in four bowl games over the past decade.  On the other hand, the men’s basketball team has won just 33% of its conference games over the past 13 years.  Grade: C- UTEP – This longtime Conference USA member joins the Mountain West this fall.  UTEP’s football team has been downright awful in recent years.  Despite a sports slump, UTEP bring strong fan support from the El Paso area.  They should be a fine geographic fit for the Mountain West.  Grade: C Mountain West overall grade for expansion:  C Sun Belt Conference (Sun Belt) The Sun Belt has been nicknamed the “Junior SEC”.  This conference has grown from 10 members in 2006 to 14 today. Only Arkansas State, Louisiana-Lafayette, South Alabama, Troy, and UL-Monroe remain from 2006. Appalachian State – The Mountaineers (members since 2014) have been a top football contender in the Sun Belt.  Their enthusiastic fans make road trips to Boone, North Carolina a fun stop.  Grade: B Coastal Carolina – Speaking of fun stops, how about a visit to Myrtle Beach to play Coastal Carolina?  The 2017 Sun Belt addition of the Chanticleers has been a terrific addition for the conference.  Coastal’s football team has played in six straight bowl games.  The baseball team won the men’s College World Series in 2016.  Grade: A Georgia Southern – Would it surprise you to learn that the Golden Eagles from Statesboro, Georgia have played in seven bowl games over the past eight seasons?  The other sports programs at Georgia Southern need to step it up.  Grade: B Georgia State – The 2013 addition of the Panthers from Atlanta has not added a lot of sports notoriety.  However, the men’s basketball program has earned four invitations to March Madness in the past 11 seasons.  Grade: C Louisiana Tech – The Bulldogs paid dearly ($8 million) to escape Conference USA beginning this fall.  Louisiana Tech brings several highly competitive sports teams. They are a perfect geographic addition to the Sun Belt Conference Western division.  Grade: A Marshall – This begins Marshall’s fourth year in the Sun Belt Conference.  The Thundering Herd has been a top football competitor and competes well in other major sports.  Grade: B Old Dominion – ODU came into the Sun Belt in 2022.  The Monarchs from Norfolk, VA posted a nifty 10-3 football record in 2025.  Old Dominion has been relatively quiet in its other sports, though.  Grade: C Southern Miss – The Golden Eagles (Sun Belt members since 2022) have been a dominant team in recent NCAA college baseball post-season tournaments.  Last season’s 2025 football team improved from a miserable 1-11 record in 2024 to a hopeful 7-6 mark.  Grade: B Sun Belt overall grade for expansion:  B+ Bonus Conference!  The newly revived Pac-12 Conference “states” its case in 2026 The most prominent names of the long-time Pac-12 Conference bolted for better TV money into the Big Ten and ACC in 2024.  That left holdovers Oregon State and Washington State “homeless”.  The Beavers and Cougars have bagged a few top teams from the Mountain West Conference to help them rebuild the Pac-12 starting this fall. Boise State is the biggest name coming to the new Pac-12.  The Broncos have fielded a nationally ranked football program several times in the past few decades. Other Mountain West migrants include Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, and Washington State. Texas State (formerly of the Sun Belt Conference) will also join the Pac-12 this fall. In case you didn’t notice, each of the eight new Pac-12 schools has the last name of “State”! Summary Only the Sun Belt Conference has earned a positive score (B+) from SwampSwami among the “Group of Five” mid-major conferences. The Sun Belt is the only major college athletic conference opting to maintain two divisions (East and West) to minimize travel expenses for its member schools and lessen the travel impact on their student/athletes.  Bravo! The post Grading the Mid-Major Conference expansions – Part 2 appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

In this college football podcast episode, we continue our 2026 Group of Six conference previews by breaking down the resurrected Pac-12, the new-look Mountain West and a wide-open Conference USA. We start with Boise State’s move into the Pac-12 and discuss whether the Broncos are truly a College Football Playoff threat or simply the best team in their new neighborhood. From there, we examine the cases for Fresno State, San Diego State, Texas State and Washington State, along with the conference’s unusual plan to flex matchups during the final week of the regular season. The Mountain West has undergone an even more dramatic transformation, with North Dakota State making the jump to FBS and Northern Illinois and UTEP entering the league. Can NDSU immediately contend with UNLV and New Mexico? Does Hawaii have enough around Micah Alejado to make a run? And can Air Force, Wyoming or one of the conference’s rebuilding programs force its way into the race? We also venture into Conference USA, where Western Kentucky may be the preseason favorite, but Jacksonville State, Kennesaw State, Liberty and several recent FBS arrivals give us plenty of reasons to question the established order. Finally, we bolt independent UConn onto the end of the preview and explore Jason Candle’s attempt to rebuild a roster that lost nearly everything from last season.

Randy Jones was a left-handed sinkerball pitcher who became one of the most unlikely stars of 1970s baseball, spending the bulk of his career with the San Diego Padres after being drafted in 1972. Undersized and lacking overpowering stuff, he relied on pinpoint control and a heavy sinking fastball to induce ground balls, leading the NL in wins and ERA in 1975 before an even better 1976, when he went 22-14 with a 2.74 ERA and an NL-record-tying 25 complete games to win the Cy Young Award. That July, he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated under the headline "San Diego's Confounding Randy Jones — Threat to Win 30," a nod to his 16-3 record at the All-Star break, a mark no pitcher has matched since. Elbow trouble eventually diminished his effectiveness, and he finished his career with 100 wins after a trade to the Mets in 1981, but he remained a fixture in San Diego as a broadcaster and ballpark personality, remembered as one of the most beloved Padres in franchise history. Ted Leitner, affectionately known as "Uncle Teddy," served as the radio play-by-play voice of the Padres for 41 seasons from 1980 to 2020, becoming one of the most recognizable figures in San Diego sports — as one local comedian joked, "there are only two kinds of people in San Diego: you either hate Ted Leitner, or you are Ted Leitner." A Bronx native, he paired his baseball duties with a long run as a KFMB-TV sports anchor and as the radio voice of San Diego State football and basketball, while also calling games for the Chargers and Clippers. He's best remembered for his decades-long partnership with fellow Hall of Fame broadcaster Jerry Coleman, together narrating the Padres' pennant runs in 1984 and 1998 and the careers of franchise icons like Tony Gwynn and Trevor Hoffman — a bond Leitner never fully recovered from losing after Coleman's death in 2014. His relationship with Randy Jones ran nearly as deep, dating back almost 50 years to when he covered Jones as the Padres' first true star during his playing days; the two later reconnected as club ambassadors together, with Leitner calling Jones "Mr. Everyman." After stepping away from the booth in 2021, Leitner was inducted into the Padres Hall of Fame in July 2022, cementing his legacy as the connective thread across generations of Padres history. Joining us on Past Our Prime, "Uncle Teddy" Leitner holds court — and folks, holding court is basically his day job. He tells us Randy Jones might've been the most likeable human to ever throw a baseball, a guy so charming he could talk Steve Carlton, Willie McCovey, and other future Hall of Famers into showing up on their pregame show for a soft-tossing lefty who, in his own words, "couldn't break a pane of glass." Case in point: Mike Schmidt once told Jones he should be embarrassed to pitch with stuff that slow — right before Jones went out and shut out the Phillies. Twice. Nothing quite like getting owned by a guy throwing batting practice. Leitner and Jones later became Padres ambassadors together, and Ted doesn't hide how hard it's hit him to lose his old pal — right on the heels of losing another lifelong friend, the legendary Jerry Coleman. And Coleman, it turns out, came with a Hall of Fame connection of his own: a friendship with Ted Williams so tight that Leitner practically got Splendid-Splintered by association with "the greatest hitter who ever lived." There are laughs, there are tears, and there's Ted being Ted for a full hour. It's a Ted Talk, literally, on Past Our Prime — and trust us, you don't want to miss this one.

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie for another episode of Last Call, featuring a wide-ranging discussion about Alabama football, the transfer portal, conference realignment, the College Football Playoff, NIL and the changing structure of college athletics. Jake and Mick break down the rebuilt Pac-12 and attempt to name the schools joining the new-look conference, including Oregon State, Washington State, Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State, Texas State and Gonzaga. Can the relaunched Pac-12 become a legitimate college football conference after losing programs such as USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington? The conversation then turns to Notre Dame's special position in the College Football Playoff. Should the Fighting Irish receive a guaranteed CFP bid for finishing inside the top 12 despite not competing in a conference championship game? Jake and Mick debate whether Notre Dame's independence gives the program an unfair advantage over teams from the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12. Jake also explains why Alabama's recruiting strategy may increasingly focus on experienced players from the transfer portal, Group of Five programs and the FCS. Are proven veterans with toughness, fundamentals and college experience more valuable than highly rated high school prospects? The guys discuss how NIL and revenue sharing could turn smaller programs into a “farm league” for college football's biggest brands. Plus, Jake shares his Independence Day plans at “the camp,” Mick prepares to watch fireworks at the ballpark, and the guys discuss the massive “flood mosquitoes” invading the Birmingham and Tuscaloosa areas. They also preview the 76th annual Choctaw Indian Fair in Philadelphia, Mississippi, featuring traditional stickball, concerts, cultural events and more. Let us know in the comments: Should Notre Dame receive an automatic College Football Playoff bid for finishing in the top 12? Is Alabama smart to prioritize experienced transfer portal players? Can the new Pac-12 become nationally relevant again?

Texas State surges up the recruiting rankings after GJ Kinney lands four-star running back Daylon Gordon, beating out Power Four contenders like Baylor and Florida State. Is this the start of a recruiting revolution for the Bobcats and the new-look Pac-12? Brian Smith and Christian Rauh break down Gordon's NFL potential, discuss Texas State's recruiting being ranked similarly to Alabama, and analyze how NIL and relationships are reshaping college football. The hosts also spotlight Washington State's coup—securing elite OL Rashaun Lavata'i over Washington and Utah—and debate whether the Cougars can keep top recruits out of the transfer portal. Closing out, they tackle San Diego State's challenges: can Sean Lewis leverage San Diego's unique market to reload on defense and establish the Aztecs as a perennial Group of Six contender? Don't miss this fast-moving conversation on recruiting battles, portal strategies, and which Pac-12 teams could lead college football's next wave of success.

PAC-12 football recruiting heats up as San Diego State surges to the conference's top class for 2027, riding a bold local strategy under Sean Lewis and eyeing future league dominance. Can the Aztecs' efforts to keep Southern California talent at home finally close the gap with West Coast powerhouses like UCLA, Oregon, and USC? Recruiting expert Brian Smith joins Christian Raugh to break down key storylines, including standout visitors like Jaiden Flores, the importance of mining hidden California talent, and how Washington State's Caden Pinnick could become the league's next quarterback sensation. The conversation spotlights the impact of transfer portal moves, junior college additions, NIL competition, and the critical need for elite media strategies and unified booster-administration support. Is this the formula for PAC-12 teams to compete with national giants and become the premier G6 conference? Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it's time to make it official.

With less than a month left in his Hall of Fame career, Nestor visited his favorite baseball player one last time at The Murph for a lengthy chat on Labor Day weekend 2001. Tony Gwynn touched on the legend of Ted Williams, his San Diego State basketball career, the physical toll of his final season, and the emotional challenge of saying goodbye to the game and his fans. A deep dive sit down with a baseball legend. The post Tony Gwynn tells Nestor about a life in baseball chasing a World Series ring back in 2001 as he faced retirement first appeared on Baltimore Positive WNST.

It's June, which means it's time to get into the 2025 JMU football schedule — and we're doing it with a twist. Inspired by the Ringer Fantasy Football Podcast's schedule draft format, Jack and Bennett each draft games off the Dukes' schedule across five categories: - Home Game You'd Most Want to Attend - Home Game Worth Skipping - Road Game Worth Attending - Must-Watch TV Game - Pumpkin Picking Day (the game you skip altogether to build relationship goodwill before championship season) From the Troy rematch under the lights to a 10 PM kick at San Diego State on the CW, we break down every game worth circling on your calendar — and a few you should hand off entirely. Plus: a deep dive into the state of the Sun Belt Conference, why the league's national profile has slipped since JMU joined, what it would take for the Dukes to crack the College Football Playoff conversation, and whether the Sun Belt can still compete for G5 supremacy against a rising American Athletic Conference.

On Sunday, May 31, 2026 hundreds gathered together at the Parma Payne Goodall Alumni Center on the campus of San Diego State University to celebrate the life of SDSU Alumnus and Super Fan, Chet Carney. In this episode we present our audio recording of the ceremony featuring speakers: Don Jones, Sarah Eishen, Jim Herrick, Steve Fisher, Brian Dutcher, and Michael Brunker. Chet Carney enrolled at San Diego State in the late 1970s where he was an SDSU yell leader for the 1978-79 athletic year. He returned to the role in the early 1980s, leading cheers from the football field at the school's request. When that ended, Carney became an unofficial cheerleader for the school he loved — and arguably SDSU's most recognizable fan.

Hour 4 continues the Miami sports conversation with speculation around whether Pat Riley could be nearing retirement and what the future of the Miami Heat looks like, including discussion about ownership structure and the desire for more involvement from Dwyane Wade—despite his commitments as a minority owner with the Utah Jazz and his growing media presence, similar to other athlete-media crossover figures like Tom Brady. The focus then shifts back to the Miami Dolphins, with continued debate over the Kadyn Proctor vs. Rueben Bain decision, more reaction to Miami passing on local Miami Hurricanes talent, and broader discussion of the draft strategy. The guys also talk about the Dolphins selecting Chris Johnson out of San Diego State and what it means when teams take players from smaller programs.

His dad taught him persistence. Soccer taught him strategy. Ted B. Wacker combines both skills in the courtroom. That's how he wins what he calls the “civil war” of litigation. In this conversation with host Dan Ambrose, Ted traces a career defined by bold bets: from clerking on the Exxon Valdez oil spill case, to knocking out expert cardiologists in the bellwether case about Merck's Vioxx pain medication, to leading a “monster” wrongful death litigation against Uber. He and his brother and law partner will teach the Uber litigation at TLU Beach.Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Ted B.

That memory quietly shaped his path to plaintiff's law.Ted played on the state championship soccer team in Washington, earned all-state honors, received pro tryouts from Seattle and San Jose out of high school, and played at San Diego State — ranked No. 2 in the nation his senior year in 1987.Ted paid his own way through law school by bartending and clerking. His first clerk position at San Diego's oldest and biggest plaintiffs' firm came through a surprising connection: the firm's office manager turned out to be a distant uncle.On the trial team case against the drug manufacturer Merck, Ted deposed both of retained cardiologists. Ultimately, the team won a $51 million verdict.After transitioning out of mass torts, Ted scored back-to-back landmark verdicts: a $3.1 million elder abuse verdict with punitive damages (settling closer to $10 million after attorney's fees) and a $14.6 million verdict in a case where State Farm had refused to pay a $25,000 policy.Ted's advice to aspiring trial lawyers: Find a mentor, prioritize getting into trial, and understand that there is no better teacher than actually practicing in the courtroom and getting reps in trial.Produced and Powered by LawPods

The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down another unblemished week of action for USC baseball as the Trojans went 5-0 with midweek wins over San Diego State and Cal State Bakersfield along with a sweep of Washington. They also talk with the catalyst of the win over Bakersfield, senior outfielder Jack Basseer, who hit a walk-off two-run homer to give USC the victory over the Roadrunners. Basseer discusses the walk-off winner as well as his journey to playing for his dream school and how he's been able to improve his game in his second season playing for USC. After a break, Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the Trojans' five-game week noting three positives, including Mason Edwards' continued dominance and the contributions of bench players and deep bullpen arms have helped USC start another win streak after their 19-0 start was stopped. They also try to find three negatives after five wins. (Some tasks are more difficult than others.) Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' stand in the rankings -- moving all the way up to No. 5 in one top 25 ranking and earning a first-place vote in the coaches poll -- before previewing the beginning of the toughest two-week stretch of the season for the Trojans.

Pack Nation, the pro day circuit is in full swing and the Draft Room has everything you need to stay ahead of the board. Today we break down three pro days — San Diego State, Kansas State, and Wisconsin — before going deep on one of the most compelling under-the-radar edge prospects in this entire class: Mason Rieger out of Wisconsin. San Diego State: CB Chris Johnson reaffirmed his top-50 status, wowing scouts in positional drills despite not needing to prove anything after a strong combine. The Cowboys, Vikings, Chiefs, Steelers, and Seahawks are all circling — and Seattle may use their first-round finale on him. Kansas State: Center Sam Hecht continues to profile as the draft's cleanest interior technician (zero sacks over 1,600 college snaps), drawing a large Chicago Bears contingent. TE Jaran Brantley quietly boosted his stock with elite athleticism for a converted receiver. Wisconsin: Safety Austin Brown stole the room with a reported 4.47/43-inch vert combo, while OLB Mason Rieger headlined the day. Mason Rieger Deep Dive: Six knee surgeries. Louisville told him his career was over. He transferred, rehabbed, posted a 9.53 RAS, earned Shrine Bowl Defensive MVP, and is now climbing into Day 2 conversation. This is the full breakdown — strengths, weaknesses, scheme fit, and pro comps (Kyler Fackrell, Vince Biegel).

Spring football always tells you something if you're willing to listen.I found myself in Lincoln, Nebraska for a quick trip to learn about this years team. I flew in at 5am, got a great cup of coffee at The Mill Coffee shop, walked to the stadium, spent a few hours around the program, and headed back home to hang with our sons. And the 24 hour down and back to a true blue-blood program was insightful on many levels.Upon landing back in LA I was able to reflect on my time in Lincoln and wanted share my thoughts around the 2026 Nebraska program, which is the focus of today's Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth podcast, fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat.When I go to a practice, I try to organize my mind first. I build out a depth chart, jot down what I'm most curious about and track position groups. Overall, I'm just trying to understand who's who so I can focus on how they move, how they compete, and how they communicate. Because in mid-March, that's what you're really evaluating —growth.And right away, Nebraska felt intentional.There was no wasted movement. Warmups had purpose. Guys were talking, moving, transitioning with clarity. It felt organized, but more than that, it felt player-led vs coach-fed. In a sentence: this team felt mission-minded.Then practice started, and the energy jumped. Bag drills, bodies moving, juice from the start. It took me back to my days around Pete Carroll where practice wasn't something you eased into, you attacked it. And knowing how much Matt Rhule believes in that philosophy, it made sense. This wasn't just a practice, it felt like a standard.What really stood out though was the competition. Every drill mattered. Not just team periods, everything. Routes, blocking, individual work. And when that's real, you stop focusing on Saturday's and you start obsessing over winning a Tuesday practice in the spring. This team felt like it was living there.At quarterback, Anthony Colandrea has real presence. You can feel it. He's dynamic, decisive, and there's an energy to him that lifts people around him. That “It Factor” is hard to define, but I've always felt it's defined as someone whose presence is felt when they walk into a room…AND they make everyone better. Behind him, there's growth and depth. TJ Lateef looks like a different player, and Danny Kaelin coming back home looks like he's ready to compete in a real way. That room feels strong with three Power 4 starters.The receiver group is deeper than I expected, and in an offense that's built on mindset as much as scheme, that matters. The offense, led by Dana Holgorsen isn't just concepts, it's conviction, and in the Air Raid offense you need guys who can play that way. I think this group is best suited for that approach.Defensively, new DC in Rob Aurich brings in a new system from San Diego State, but the same theme showed up. Intentional coaching, clear teaching, real physicality. Take a look at who he has been around and it's easy to be impressed on many levels. Additionally, watching coaches like Roy Manning work, you could hear it and feel it in every drill.After practice, I spent some time with Coach Rhule, and I walked away thinking this isn't a reset in Lincoln, it's a build. A program taking its next step with clear standards.It's early, way too early to make any bold claims, especially in the hyper-talented Big Ten, but I left feeling something that's hard to fake — competitive depth, clear identity, and a team that looks like it's having a blast doing hard things.If you want the full breakdown, take a listen to the Y-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth podcast and as always, thanks for the support.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.
