Louisiana Tech has finalized details to leave C-USA and join the Sun Belt for the 2026 season.
These sorts of moves are not likely to slow down anytime soon.
On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the latest public comment from Indiana DC Bryant Haines.
He has since deleted a tweet that talked about the best teams he faced in 2025, and took a shot at Paul Finebaum.
Alabama has landed one of the top quarterbacks in the 2027 class in 5-star Elijah Haven.
He can be an elite QB for HC Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide.
