Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson Jr. take the top spot, but Jahmyr Gibbs, Derrick Henry and Christian McCaffrey make this ranking loaded with star power

All eyes are on Lane Kiffin going into his first season as LSU head football coach. However, while speaking to reporters at SEC Media Days, he revealed that monitoring his social media accounts wont yield anything spicy anymore. Kiffin said that he deleted all social media apps from his phone, initially doing so as a challenge from his son Knox. But like many who have distance themselves from social media, Kiffin realized that he liked being more offline. Lane Kiffin says he deleted all social media apps from his phone. It started as a challenge from son Knox and has now become something hes embraced. https://t.co/QkHsxj0Kqk Ross Dellenger (@RossDellenger) July 23, 2026Really, it just started with Knox, my son, was sitting there and hes like, Youre on social media; I bet you couldnt get off, Kiffin explained, via Baton Rouge radio host Matt Moscona. If you follow me, if you tell me I cant do something, thats really a good way to get me to do it. So I just got off of everything, he continued. Got off of it. Dont even have the apps, so its not even like I read it either I just wanted to show him I could do it. Its been really interesting as I look back over my life and my journey, a lot of great things have come when Ive subtracted things out of my life and Ive eliminated them.

But its less fun for college football fans (and the media which covers him). Kiffin gained a reputation for trolling fans and rival coaches (in other sports too) on social media. Asked about that during his appearance at SEC Media Days, Georgia coach Kirby Smart agreed when told that a troll likes to stir the pot and poke fun at rivals. Yep, Smart said. Thats him.5/11/26 pic.twitter.com/dPABjcSAxg Lane Kiffin (@Lane_Kiffin) June 18, 2026Perhaps not coincidentally, Kiffins self-imposed exile from social media coincides with him causing an uproar with comments he made in a Vanity Fair profile about recruiting players to Ole Miss at his previous head-coaching stop in the SEC. Kiffin claimed that a lack of racial diversity in Oxford, Mississippi made it difficult to convince athletes to play for the Rebels. Additionally, players parents were put off by the schools association with the Confederate flag, the Colonel Rebel mascot and the University of Mississippi's "Ole Miss" nickname.Now its been a couple months and its been really refreshing, Kiffin added. Ive talked to a lot of family, friends, even players and encouraged them to take a break because what happens is, when youre on it this is what I found, that you dont really realize until youre off of it its really taken over what we used to say we were worried about our kids doing. The adults are just as bad. Kiffin said its been freeing to be away from social media. Hes more present in the moment, rather than comparing experiences to others, as so many of us do. However, Kiffin has not deleted his accounts, and probably wont since theyre still a vital recruiting tool. His last post to X was on June 18, referring back to May 11 when he was last active on social media. Posing a tiger statue atop an image of Michael Jordan, he included the quote, They have no idea who you are becoming. Time to go ghost.

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) The 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hit his first international half-century for India as Zimbabwe was comfortably beaten by seven wickets in a Twenty20 on Thursday.Sooryavanshi scored 50 off 18 balls. He was out next ball at 68-2, top-edging an attempted cut at Richard Ngarava.But the teenager had turned the chase of 126 into a doddle and Shreyas Iyer was in the middle at 126-3 to celebrate his first win as captain in eight T20s. Zimbabwe made 125-7 after Mayank Yadav and Prince Yadav took two wickets each.Sooryavanshi replaced Sachin Tendulkar this month as the youngest player to represent India but his output in the T20 series in England was modest: 14, 13, 15 at a strike rate of 168. He was replaced for the last match and India lost the series 4-0.The selectors hoped Sooryavanshi would thrive in a low-key series at the same cricket ground where he blasted 175 off 80 balls against England in February in the final of the Under-19 World Cup.Sooryavanshi on Thursday took four balls to smash his first six over backward square. The other sixes cleared long-off, fine leg and long-on.The second of three matches is on Saturday.___AP cricket: https://apnews.com/hub/cricket

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) As it turns out, even Lane Kiffin likes the so-called Lane Kiffin Rule a Congressionally proposed provision that would fix the longstanding problem of college coaches bailing on their teams while the season is still going.The lightning-rod LSU coach took his turn Thursday at SEC Media Days, where he ate up more than 16 of his 25 minutes behind the mic delivering an opening statement that included the revelation that he's given up social media. He then fielded four questions, the last of which was whether he felt he got a bad rap for his much-discussed and widely criticized move from Ole Miss to LSU at the end of last season. That transaction made him the namesake for part of a Senate bill that would forbid in-season moves from school to school.Without getting into what people thought of him, he said he did think the rule could be helpful.I guess (so), in that I hope that some way for future coaches, theyre not put in that situation, Kiffin said. In the NFL, youre never put in that situation because of the calendar and because of the rules of movement within seasons. I do hope for future people thats fixed so that youre not in that same predicament.___Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.

Official|Bundesliga veteran Xaver Schlager rejoins old coach Oliver Glasner at Nottingham ForestFormer Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig professional Xaver Schlager a free agent since July 1st has officially selected Nottingham Forest as his next station. The Austrian international will be reunited with newly appointed Forest head coach Oliver Glasner, under whom he worked for two seasons at Wolfsburg between 2019 and 2021.Schlager departs German football having made 150 Bundesliga appearances over the course of the last seven seasons. During that time, he scored seven Bundesliga goals and earned 55 caps for his native country.Xaver Schlagers time in the BundesligaSchlager arrived in German football when Wolfsburg signed him from Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 2019. An ankle injury disrupted the first half of his debut campaign, but the Austrian soon established himself alongside Maximilian Arnold in central midfield. By August 2021, Schlager had already made 70 competitive appearances for die Wlfe and developed into one of the teams most important midfielders.His Wolfsburg rise was interrupted by a cruciate ligament rupture suffered against Leipzig early in the 2021/22 season. Schlager underwent surgery and remained sidelined until February 2022. He nevertheless returned strongly enough to earn a move to Leipzig, who paid approximately 12m for him that summer.Schlager quickly became an important part of Marco Roses Leipzig midfield. He scored the winner against Werder Bremen in November 2022 as the German Red Bulls extended their unbeaten run across all competitions to 13 matches. His energetic pressing, physicality and willingness to contest virtually every midfield duel made him well suited to Roses football.Injuries nevertheless repeatedly halted his momentum. A syndesmosis tear ended his first Leipzig season prematurely in March 2023. After re-establishing himself and forming an effective partnership with Amadou Haidara, Schlager then suffered another ACL rupture in May 2024. The injury ended what Leipzig sporting director Rouven Schrder described as a spectacular campaign and ruled him out of Austrias European Championship squad.Schlager fought his way back once again and reclaimed a starting place during the 2024/25 campaign. A strong subsequent training camp convinced new Leipzig head coach Ole Werner to make him an integral part of the 2025/26 squad. Schlager was named David Raums vice-captain and moved ahead of Arthur Vermeeren in the midfield hierarchy.His final Leipzig season ultimately marked the end of a seven-year Bundesliga journey. Schlager rejected the opportunity to extend his expiring contract, prompting Leipzig to acquire Rocco Reitz as his long-term replacement. He departed after 108 competitive appearances for the Saxons.GGFN|Peter Weis
