Dallas Brannon grew up liking one of Tennessee’s SEC rivals. But that didn’t make him any less excited when his first trip to Knoxville earlier this month resulted in the Vols joining the list of teams in the running for him.
The Class of 2026 linebacker from Independence High School in Charlotte, N.C., visited Tennessee for the first time Feb. 3 to attend the Vols’ first junior day of the year, and he came away with a scholarship offer from them. It was the second SEC offer for Brannon, who’s the son of former Georgia tight end Robert Brannon.
Wake Forest Baseball once again has a loaded roster, is ranked No. 1 in the country and has its sights set on a return trip to Omaha after shattering every program record en route to the College World Series a season ago.
Fair or not, comparisons between Team 110 and Team 109 are going to happen, so why not get ’em started here as the first weekend comes to a conclusion?
It’s starting to feel like March. The NCAA Tournament selection committee boldly inserted San Diego State into the top 16 of its bracket reveal, clearly an ode to the strength of the Mountain West. The league then went out and had a tizzy of a Saturday. Colorado State bulldozed Utah State behind 18 points and eight assists from Isaiah Stevens, and Nevada rallied out of nowhere late in regulation to hand UNLV a 69-66 loss and spoil a brilliant Dedan Thomas Jr. outing.
The Mountain West now has three teams tied in the loss column atop the league standings: San Diego State, Utah State and Boise State. It has four teams just a game back: New Mexico, Colorado State, Nevada and UNLV.
What a war. This is shaping up to be one of the best conference title chases down the stretch.
