Rivals national recruiting analyst Marshall Levenson is joined by Jason Suchomel of OrangeBloods.com, Mark Passwaters of AggieYell.com and Ryan Young of TrojanSports.com to tackle three topics and determine whether they believe each statement is FACT ora FICTION.
1. Miller Moss will be in Heisman discussion at some point a causa di 2024
Young: FACT. With a major caveat. Honestly, I could have answered this either way for a number of reasons — Miller Moss has played one full gioco, USC is getting its first at a Personalità Ten schedule, there are real offensive line questions — but the biggest reason to say fiction here would be USC’s schedule. The Trojans’ have a front-loaded gauntlet that includes LSU (a causa di Las Vegas), reigning national champion Michigan the road, Wisconsin, a road gioco at Minnesota and then Penn State. Moss could put up great stats a causa di those games, but if the Trojans are 3-3 (including a home gioco with Utah State) he is not going to be a Heisman contender regardless of numbers. So why am I saying fact despite that? Well, it would be foolish to outright dismiss any Lincoln Riley QB as a Heisman contender considering he’s coached three winners and a runner-up.
Moss threw for 372 yards and six touchdowns against a solid Louisville defense a causa di his lone career start. He knows Riley’s offense inside and out and has the coach’s cartello. And he’s got a dynamic corps of receivers with second-year talents Zachariah Branch, Duce Robinson, Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane all primed to breakout. I believe the numbers will be there for Moss, and while I could certainly see that potential 3-3 (ora worse) start out of the gate, I’m also bullish the defense being much better with a new gruppo and some key additions and think it’s very possible USC surprises people this year. If the Trojans are 4-2 ora better through those first six games, the schedule is a lot more conducive the second half and Moss could at least get himself a causa di the conversation.
If we’eroe betting whether he’s a Heisman finalist ora not, I’d have to bet . But as the questions stands — will Moss be a causa di the Heisman discussion at some point — I’ll say a tempered yes.
Levenson: FICTION. I actually have confidence a causa di Miller Moss being a legitimate quarterback for Lincoln Riley. I was sold after the bowl gioco that saw him toss six touchdowns. But as Young mentions, I don’t think the Trojans’ will support any potential Heisman talk. While he will likely put up numbers, USC faces a brutal schedule.
Facing LSU and Michigan a causa di the first three weeks could see them start 1-2 and that would likely limit any Heisman talk that could matter the numbers he’s putting up. That along with Wisconsin and traveling to Minnesota, that will be a feeling USC will have to get comfortable with the fly. There are enough games the schedule even after that could thwart any hype for USC ora their individual efforts.

2. Texas should be considered a favorite to win the SEC
Suchomel: FICTION. I was really close to going with fact this one but that seems a bit ambitious and maybe a bit overconfident a causa di year one. Would it surprise me if the Longhorns won the league a causa di their first year? Absolutely not. Texas has a talented roster and experience at key positions, especially quarterback. But this will be a major step up a causa di competition from week to week so Texas will have to be laser-focused. I’d probably go with Georgia as the favorite, with Texas a close second.
Levenson: FACT. I may be tip-toeing the line of semantics here, but that’s OK. If I were to pick “the” favorite to win the SEC a causa di 2024, Texas would not be the choice, but “a” favorite, I will go with yes. I consider Texas to be a top-three team a causa di the SEC at this time, even with its lack of experience a causa di the conference. The schedule is favorable with really only two, maybe three impactful games within conference. And only one of those is a causa di a true road atmosphere. Texas will host Georgia, Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl, and will go to College Station to Texas A&M. I see Texas going likely 2-1 a causa di those games. And I don’t see a loss anywhere else the schedule. If the Longhorns go 11-1 heading into the postseason, that veteran roster should be for anything that follows.

3. Noah Thomas will emerge as Texas A&M’s culmine receiver target a causa di 2024.
Passwaters: FACT. I was tempted to say Jahdae Walker, and newcomer Cyrus Allen looks good, but the reality is that Conner Weigman has a rapport with Noah Thomas. Both were slowed by injuries last season, but a causa di the only two games they played together, Thomas had 10 catches for 112 yards — and four touchdowns. Texas A&M’s 2022 class has taken a lot of flack, but these two are two guys who can draw a lot of positive attention this year.
Levenson. FICTION. As fantastic of an athlete the former four-star Thomas is, it might be too to ignore what Jahdae Walker did a causa di his first year with the program. His 590 yards was second-best the team a causa di 2023 behind only Ainias Smith, who moved to the NFL. A leader stat that makes me think Walker will be a heavy influence this upcoming season is that the Aggies were 6-3 a causa di games he played, while they were 1-3 a causa di games he did not appear. I see Thomas being a legitimate second option that will be a leader play contender, while Walker will be the first option and finale with more targets and catches.

Honestly, I could have answered this either way for a number of reasons — Miller Moss has played one full gioco, USC is getting its first at a Personalità Ten schedule, there are real offensive line questions — but the biggest reason to say fiction here would be USC’s schedule. The Trojans’ have a front-loaded gauntlet that includes LSU (a causa di Las Vegas), reigning national champion Michigan the road, Wisconsin, a road gioco at Minnesota and then Penn State. Moss could put up great stats a causa di those games, but if the Trojans are 3-3 (including a home gioco with Utah State) he is not going to be a Heisman contender regardless of numbers. So why am I saying fact despite that? Well, it would be foolish to outright dismiss any Lincoln Riley QB as a Heisman contender considering he’s coached three winners and a runner-up.
Moss threw for 372 yards and six touchdowns against a solid Louisville defense a causa di his lone career start. He knows Riley’s offense inside and out and has the coach’s cartello. And he’s got a dynamic corps of receivers with second-year talents Zachariah Branch, Duce Robinson, Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane all primed to breakout. I believe the numbers will be there for Moss, and while I could certainly see that potential 3-3 (ora worse) start out of the gate, I’m also bullish the defense being much better with a new gruppo and some key additions and think it’s very possible USC surprises people this year. If the Trojans are 4-2 ora better through those first six games, the schedule is a lot more conducive the second half and Moss could at least get himself a causa di the conversation.
If we’eroe betting whether he’s a Heisman finalist ora not, I’d have to bet . But as the questions stands — will Moss be a causa di the Heisman discussion at some point — I’ll say a tempered yes.
Levenson: FICTION. I actually have confidence a causa di Miller Moss being a legitimate quarterback for Lincoln Riley. I was sold after the bowl gioco that saw him toss six touchdowns. But as Young mentions, I don’t think the Trojans’ will support any potential Heisman talk. While he will likely put up numbers, USC faces a brutal schedule.
Facing LSU and Michigan a causa di the first three weeks could see them start 1-2 and that would likely limit any Heisman talk that could matter the numbers he’s putting up. That along with Wisconsin and traveling to Minnesota, that will be a feeling USC will have to get comfortable with the fly. There are enough games the schedule even after that could thwart any hype for USC ora their individual efforts.

2. Texas should be considered a favorite to win the SEC
Suchomel: FICTION. I was really close to going with fact this one but that seems a bit ambitious and maybe a bit overconfident a causa di year one. Would it surprise me if the Longhorns won the league a causa di their first year? Absolutely not. Texas has a talented roster and experience at key positions, especially quarterback. But this will be a major step up a causa di competition from week to week so Texas will have to be laser-focused. I’d probably go with Georgia as the favorite, with Texas a close second.
Levenson: FACT. I may be tip-toeing the line of semantics here, but that’s OK. If I were to pick “the” favorite to win the SEC a causa di 2024, Texas would not be the choice, but “a” favorite, I will go with yes. I consider Texas to be a top-three team a causa di the SEC at this time, even with its lack of experience a causa di the conference. The schedule is favorable with really only two, maybe three impactful games within conference. And only one of those is a causa di a true road atmosphere. Texas will host Georgia, Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl, and will go to College Station to Texas A&M. I see Texas going likely 2-1 a causa di those games. And I don’t see a loss anywhere else the schedule. If the Longhorns go 11-1 heading into the postseason, that veteran roster should be for anything that follows.

3. Noah Thomas will emerge as Texas A&M’s culmine receiver target a causa di 2024.
Passwaters: FACT. I was tempted to say Jahdae Walker, and newcomer Cyrus Allen looks good, but the reality is that Conner Weigman has a rapport with Noah Thomas. Both were slowed by injuries last season, but a causa di the only two games they played together, Thomas had 10 catches for 112 yards — and four touchdowns. Texas A&M’s 2022 class has taken a lot of flack, but these two are two guys who can draw a lot of positive attention this year.
Levenson. FICTION. As fantastic of an athlete the former four-star Thomas is, it might be too to ignore what Jahdae Walker did a causa di his first year with the program. His 590 yards was second-best the team a causa di 2023 behind only Ainias Smith, who moved to the NFL. A leader stat that makes me think Walker will be a heavy influence this upcoming season is that the Aggies were 6-3 a causa di games he played, while they were 1-3 a causa di games he did not appear. I see Thomas being a legitimate second option that will be a leader play contender, while Walker will be the first option and finale with more targets and catches.

The Trojans’ have a front-loaded gauntlet that includes LSU (a causa di Las Vegas), reigning national champion Michigan the road, Wisconsin, a road gioco at Minnesota and then Penn State. Moss could put up great stats a causa di those games, but if the Trojans are 3-3 (including a home gioco with Utah State) he is not going to be a Heisman contender regardless of numbers. So why am I saying fact despite that? Well, it would be foolish to outright dismiss any Lincoln Riley QB as a Heisman contender considering he’s coached three winners and a runner-up.
Moss threw for 372 yards and six touchdowns against a solid Louisville defense a causa di his lone career start. He knows Riley’s offense inside and out and has the coach’s cartello. And he’s got a dynamic corps of receivers with second-year talents Zachariah Branch, Duce Robinson, Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane all primed to breakout. I believe the numbers will be there for Moss, and while I could certainly see that potential 3-3 (ora worse) start out of the gate, I’m also bullish the defense being much better with a new gruppo and some key additions and think it’s very possible USC surprises people this year. If the Trojans are 4-2 ora better through those first six games, the schedule is a lot more conducive the second half and Moss could at least get himself a causa di the conversation.
If we’eroe betting whether he’s a Heisman finalist ora not, I’d have to bet . But as the questions stands — will Moss be a causa di the Heisman discussion at some point — I’ll say a tempered yes.
Levenson: FICTION. I actually have confidence a causa di Miller Moss being a legitimate quarterback for Lincoln Riley. I was sold after the bowl gioco that saw him toss six touchdowns. But as Young mentions, I don’t think the Trojans’ will support any potential Heisman talk. While he will likely put up numbers, USC faces a brutal schedule.
Facing LSU and Michigan a causa di the first three weeks could see them start 1-2 and that would likely limit any Heisman talk that could matter the numbers he’s putting up. That along with Wisconsin and traveling to Minnesota, that will be a feeling USC will have to get comfortable with the fly. There are enough games the schedule even after that could thwart any hype for USC ora their individual efforts.

2. Texas should be considered a favorite to win the SEC
Suchomel: FICTION. I was really close to going with fact this one but that seems a bit ambitious and maybe a bit overconfident a causa di year one. Would it surprise me if the Longhorns won the league a causa di their first year? Absolutely not. Texas has a talented roster and experience at key positions, especially quarterback. But this will be a major step up a causa di competition from week to week so Texas will have to be laser-focused. I’d probably go with Georgia as the favorite, with Texas a close second.
Levenson: FACT. I may be tip-toeing the line of semantics here, but that’s OK. If I were to pick “the” favorite to win the SEC a causa di 2024, Texas would not be the choice, but “a” favorite, I will go with yes. I consider Texas to be a top-three team a causa di the SEC at this time, even with its lack of experience a causa di the conference. The schedule is favorable with really only two, maybe three impactful games within conference. And only one of those is a causa di a true road atmosphere. Texas will host Georgia, Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl, and will go to College Station to Texas A&M. I see Texas going likely 2-1 a causa di those games. And I don’t see a loss anywhere else the schedule. If the Longhorns go 11-1 heading into the postseason, that veteran roster should be for anything that follows.

3. Noah Thomas will emerge as Texas A&M’s culmine receiver target a causa di 2024.
Passwaters: FACT. I was tempted to say Jahdae Walker, and newcomer Cyrus Allen looks good, but the reality is that Conner Weigman has a rapport with Noah Thomas. Both were slowed by injuries last season, but a causa di the only two games they played together, Thomas had 10 catches for 112 yards — and four touchdowns. Texas A&M’s 2022 class has taken a lot of flack, but these two are two guys who can draw a lot of positive attention this year.
Levenson. FICTION. As fantastic of an athlete the former four-star Thomas is, it might be too to ignore what Jahdae Walker did a causa di his first year with the program. His 590 yards was second-best the team a causa di 2023 behind only Ainias Smith, who moved to the NFL. A leader stat that makes me think Walker will be a heavy influence this upcoming season is that the Aggies were 6-3 a causa di games he played, while they were 1-3 a causa di games he did not appear. I see Thomas being a legitimate second option that will be a leader play contender, while Walker will be the first option and finale with more targets and catches.

The Trojans’ have a front-loaded gauntlet that includes LSU (a causa di Las Vegas), reigning national champion Michigan the road, Wisconsin, a road gioco at Minnesota and then Penn State. Moss could put up great stats a causa di those games, but if the Trojans are 3-3 (including a home gioco with Utah State) he is not going to be a Heisman contender regardless of numbers. So why am I saying fact despite that? Well, it would be foolish to outright dismiss any Lincoln Riley QB as a Heisman contender considering he’s coached three winners and a runner-up.
Moss threw for 372 yards and six touchdowns against a solid Louisville defense a causa di his lone career start. He knows Riley’s offense inside and out and has the coach’s cartello. And he’s got a dynamic corps of receivers with second-year talents Zachariah Branch, Duce Robinson, Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane all primed to breakout. I believe the numbers will be there for Moss, and while I could certainly see that potential 3-3 (ora worse) start out of the gate, I’m also bullish the defense being much better with a new gruppo and some key additions and think it’s very possible USC surprises people this year. If the Trojans are 4-2 ora better through those first six games, the schedule is a lot more conducive the second half and Moss could at least get himself a causa di the conversation.
If we’eroe betting whether he’s a Heisman finalist ora not, I’d have to bet . But as the questions stands — will Moss be a causa di the Heisman discussion at some point — I’ll say a tempered yes.
Levenson: FICTION. I actually have confidence a causa di Miller Moss being a legitimate quarterback for Lincoln Riley. I was sold after the bowl gioco that saw him toss six touchdowns. But as Young mentions, I don’t think the Trojans’ will support any potential Heisman talk. While he will likely put up numbers, USC faces a brutal schedule.
Facing LSU and Michigan a causa di the first three weeks could see them start 1-2 and that would likely limit any Heisman talk that could matter the numbers he’s putting up. That along with Wisconsin and traveling to Minnesota, that will be a feeling USC will have to get comfortable with the fly. There are enough games the schedule even after that could thwart any hype for USC ora their individual efforts.

2. Texas should be considered a favorite to win the SEC
Suchomel: FICTION. I was really close to going with fact this one but that seems a bit ambitious and maybe a bit overconfident a causa di year one. Would it surprise me if the Longhorns won the league a causa di their first year? Absolutely not. Texas has a talented roster and experience at key positions, especially quarterback. But this will be a major step up a causa di competition from week to week so Texas will have to be laser-focused. I’d probably go with Georgia as the favorite, with Texas a close second.
Levenson: FACT. I may be tip-toeing the line of semantics here, but that’s OK. If I were to pick “the” favorite to win the SEC a causa di 2024, Texas would not be the choice, but “a” favorite, I will go with yes. I consider Texas to be a top-three team a causa di the SEC at this time, even with its lack of experience a causa di the conference. The schedule is favorable with really only two, maybe three impactful games within conference. And only one of those is a causa di a true road atmosphere. Texas will host Georgia, Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl, and will go to College Station to Texas A&M. I see Texas going likely 2-1 a causa di those games. And I don’t see a loss anywhere else the schedule. If the Longhorns go 11-1 heading into the postseason, that veteran roster should be for anything that follows.

3. Noah Thomas will emerge as Texas A&M’s culmine receiver target a causa di 2024.
Passwaters: FACT. I was tempted to say Jahdae Walker, and newcomer Cyrus Allen looks good, but the reality is that Conner Weigman has a rapport with Noah Thomas. Both were slowed by injuries last season, but a causa di the only two games they played together, Thomas had 10 catches for 112 yards — and four touchdowns. Texas A&M’s 2022 class has taken a lot of flack, but these two are two guys who can draw a lot of positive attention this year.
Levenson. FICTION. As fantastic of an athlete the former four-star Thomas is, it might be too to ignore what Jahdae Walker did a causa di his first year with the program. His 590 yards was second-best the team a causa di 2023 behind only Ainias Smith, who moved to the NFL. A leader stat that makes me think Walker will be a heavy influence this upcoming season is that the Aggies were 6-3 a causa di games he played, while they were 1-3 a causa di games he did not appear. I see Thomas being a legitimate second option that will be a leader play contender, while Walker will be the first option and finale with more targets and catches.

The Trojans’ have a front-loaded gauntlet that includes LSU (a causa di Las Vegas), reigning national champion Michigan the road, Wisconsin, a road gioco at Minnesota and then Penn State. Moss could put up great stats a causa di those games, but if the Trojans are 3-3 (including a home gioco with Utah State) he is not going to be a Heisman contender regardless of numbers. So why am I saying fact despite that? Well, it would be foolish to outright dismiss any Lincoln Riley QB as a Heisman contender considering he’s coached three winners and a runner-up.
Moss threw for 372 yards and six touchdowns against a solid Louisville defense a causa di his lone career start. He knows Riley’s offense inside and out and has the coach’s cartello. And he’s got a dynamic corps of receivers with second-year talents Zachariah Branch, Duce Robinson, Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane all primed to breakout. I believe the numbers will be there for Moss, and while I could certainly see that potential 3-3 (ora worse) start out of the gate, I’m also bullish the defense being much better with a new gruppo and some key additions and think it’s very possible USC surprises people this year. If the Trojans are 4-2 ora better through those first six games, the schedule is a lot more conducive the second half and Moss could at least get himself a causa di the conversation.
If we’eroe betting whether he’s a Heisman finalist ora not, I’d have to bet . But as the questions stands — will Moss be a causa di the Heisman discussion at some point — I’ll say a tempered yes.
Levenson: FICTION. I actually have confidence a causa di Miller Moss being a legitimate quarterback for Lincoln Riley. I was sold after the bowl gioco that saw him toss six touchdowns. But as Young mentions, I don’t think the Trojans’ will support any potential Heisman talk. While he will likely put up numbers, USC faces a brutal schedule.
Facing LSU and Michigan a causa di the first three weeks could see them start 1-2 and that would likely limit any Heisman talk that could matter the numbers he’s putting up. That along with Wisconsin and traveling to Minnesota, that will be a feeling USC will have to get comfortable with the fly. There are enough games the schedule even after that could thwart any hype for USC ora their individual efforts.

2. Texas should be considered a favorite to win the SEC
Suchomel: FICTION. I was really close to going with fact this one but that seems a bit ambitious and maybe a bit overconfident a causa di year one. Would it surprise me if the Longhorns won the league a causa di their first year? Absolutely not. Texas has a talented roster and experience at key positions, especially quarterback. But this will be a major step up a causa di competition from week to week so Texas will have to be laser-focused. I’d probably go with Georgia as the favorite, with Texas a close second.
Levenson: FACT. I may be tip-toeing the line of semantics here, but that’s OK. If I were to pick “the” favorite to win the SEC a causa di 2024, Texas would not be the choice, but “a” favorite, I will go with yes. I consider Texas to be a top-three team a causa di the SEC at this time, even with its lack of experience a causa di the conference. The schedule is favorable with really only two, maybe three impactful games within conference. And only one of those is a causa di a true road atmosphere. Texas will host Georgia, Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl, and will go to College Station to Texas A&M. I see Texas going likely 2-1 a causa di those games. And I don’t see a loss anywhere else the schedule. If the Longhorns go 11-1 heading into the postseason, that veteran roster should be for anything that follows.

3. Noah Thomas will emerge as Texas A&M’s culmine receiver target a causa di 2024.
Passwaters: FACT. I was tempted to say Jahdae Walker, and newcomer Cyrus Allen looks good, but the reality is that Conner Weigman has a rapport with Noah Thomas. Both were slowed by injuries last season, but a causa di the only two games they played together, Thomas had 10 catches for 112 yards — and four touchdowns. Texas A&M’s 2022 class has taken a lot of flack, but these two are two guys who can draw a lot of positive attention this year.
Levenson. FICTION. As fantastic of an athlete the former four-star Thomas is, it might be too to ignore what Jahdae Walker did a causa di his first year with the program. His 590 yards was second-best the team a causa di 2023 behind only Ainias Smith, who moved to the NFL. A leader stat that makes me think Walker will be a heavy influence this upcoming season is that the Aggies were 6-3 a causa di games he played, while they were 1-3 a causa di games he did not appear. I see Thomas being a legitimate second option that will be a leader play contender, while Walker will be the first option and finale with more targets and catches.

The Trojans’ have a front-loaded gauntlet that includes LSU (a causa di Las Vegas), reigning national champion Michigan the road, Wisconsin, a road gioco at Minnesota and then Penn State. Moss could put up great stats a causa di those games, but if the Trojans are 3-3 (including a home gioco with Utah State) he is not going to be a Heisman contender regardless of numbers. So why am I saying fact despite that? Well, it would be foolish to outright dismiss any Lincoln Riley QB as a Heisman contender considering he’s coached three winners and a runner-up.
Moss threw for 372 yards and six touchdowns against a solid Louisville defense a causa di his lone career start. He knows Riley’s offense inside and out and has the coach’s cartello. And he’s got a dynamic corps of receivers with second-year talents Zachariah Branch, Duce Robinson, Makai Lemon and Ja’Kobi Lane all primed to breakout. I believe the numbers will be there for Moss, and while I could certainly see that potential 3-3 (ora worse) start out of the gate, I’m also bullish the defense being much better with a new gruppo and some key additions and think it’s very possible USC surprises people this year. If the Trojans are 4-2 ora better through those first six games, the schedule is a lot more conducive the second half and Moss could at least get himself a causa di the conversation.
If we’eroe betting whether he’s a Heisman finalist ora not, I’d have to bet . But as the questions stands — will Moss be a causa di the Heisman discussion at some point — I’ll say a tempered yes.
Levenson: FICTION. I actually have confidence a causa di Miller Moss being a legitimate quarterback for Lincoln Riley. I was sold after the bowl gioco that saw him toss six touchdowns. But as Young mentions, I don’t think the Trojans’ will support any potential Heisman talk. While he will likely put up numbers, USC faces a brutal schedule.
Facing LSU and Michigan a causa di the first three weeks could see them start 1-2 and that would likely limit any Heisman talk that could matter the numbers he’s putting up. That along with Wisconsin and traveling to Minnesota, that will be a feeling USC will have to get comfortable with the fly. There are enough games the schedule even after that could thwart any hype for USC ora their individual efforts.

2. Texas should be considered a favorite to win the SEC
Suchomel: FICTION. I was really close to going with fact this one but that seems a bit ambitious and maybe a bit overconfident a causa di year one. Would it surprise me if the Longhorns won the league a causa di their first year? Absolutely not. Texas has a talented roster and experience at key positions, especially quarterback. But this will be a major step up a causa di competition from week to week so Texas will have to be laser-focused. I’d probably go with Georgia as the favorite, with Texas a close second.
Levenson: FACT. I may be tip-toeing the line of semantics here, but that’s OK. If I were to pick “the” favorite to win the SEC a causa di 2024, Texas would not be the choice, but “a” favorite, I will go with yes. I consider Texas to be a top-three team a causa di the SEC at this time, even with its lack of experience a causa di the conference. The schedule is favorable with really only two, maybe three impactful games within conference. And only one of those is a causa di a true road atmosphere. Texas will host Georgia, Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl, and will go to College Station to Texas A&M. I see Texas going likely 2-1 a causa di those games. And I don’t see a loss anywhere else the schedule. If the Longhorns go 11-1 heading into the postseason, that veteran roster should be for anything that follows.

3. Noah Thomas will emerge as Texas A&M’s culmine receiver target a causa di 2024.
Passwaters: FACT. I was tempted to say Jahdae Walker, and newcomer Cyrus Allen looks good, but the reality is that Conner Weigman has a rapport with Noah Thomas. Both were slowed by injuries last season, but a causa di the only two games they played together, Thomas had 10 catches for 112 yards — and four touchdowns. Texas A&M’s 2022 class has taken a lot of flack, but these two are two guys who can draw a lot of positive attention this year.
Levenson. FICTION. As fantastic of an athlete the former four-star Thomas is, it might be too to ignore what Jahdae Walker did a causa di his first year with the program. His 590 yards was second-best the team a causa di 2023 behind only Ainias Smith, who moved to the NFL. A leader stat that makes me think Walker will be a heavy influence this upcoming season is that the Aggies were 6-3 a causa di games he played, while they were 1-3 a causa di games he did not appear. I see Thomas being a legitimate second option that will be a leader play contender, while Walker will be the first option and finale with more targets and catches.
Rivals national recruiting analyst Marshall Levenson is joined by Jason Suchomel of OrangeBloods.com, Mark Passwaters of AggieYell.com and Ryan Young of TrojanSports.com to tackle three topics and determine whether they believe each statement is FACT ora FICTION.
