News summary

Boise State's football team is entering the 2025 season with key offensive players highlighted, including tight end Matt Lauter, who is considered a contender for the Mackey Award and one of the best tight ends in program history after a strong 2024 season with 619 yards and seven touchdowns. Sophomore wide receiver Cam Bates is poised for a breakout year, aiming to significantly increase his role and stats from the previous season, where he contributed mainly on special teams but showed potential as a pass-catcher. At Clemson, Christian Bentancur is preparing to move beyond a redshirt year by intensifying his offseason efforts to earn playing time in a competitive tight end room filled with talent, including former basketball player Ian Schieffelin. In the NFL, Payton Wilson is set for a major role with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, expected to start at middle linebacker and praised by teammate Patrick Queen for his energy and potential after an impressive rookie season despite prior injury concerns. Meanwhile, Penn State's Zane Durant, a senior defensive tackle, continues to impress with his athleticism and football IQ, earning high praise as one of the best defensive tackles his teammates have faced and ranking eighth on Bruce Feldman's Freaks List for his combination of strength, speed, and technique.
