The tight end room has some fresh blood and they look poised to be more impactful heading into next season. With the new arrivals of Noah Fant and third round draft pick Oscar Delp the offense will have the ability to play more in multiple tight end sets to create mismatches for the defense. Multiple tight end sets should allow the Saints to improve the run game and conversely the play action game. Playing in tight end heavy sets was something they were unable to do more of last year due to injuries and lack of talent at the tight end position. Mainstay and the only returning starting caliber player is Juwan Johnson. Johnson had a good year last year as one of the few reliable targets in the passing game aside from Chris Olave. Johnson is looking to build on a solid year where he had 77 receptions for 889 receiving yards with 3 touchdowns. He was a security blanket when Rattler was starting and had quite a few big plays when Shough took over as the starting quarterback. With Shough coming into the season as the presumed starter I expect their connection to be even better next season. Someone hoping to have a better connection with a new QB is Noah Fant. Fant was a first round pick back in 2019 with the Broncos but has never quite lived up to his draft status. Fant will be playing on his third team in three years as he seeks to be a quality rotational piece in the offense and find stability for his career here in New Orleans. Fant should be utilized more in the passing game than in the running game but should be able to hold his own when called upon to do his part on run downs. Fant has been on a statistical decline since his time with Denver as his best receiving season came in at 68/670/4 back in 2021. Although his stats have been declining Fant still has plenty to offer with his athleticism and should produce more given a better opportunity. After Fant in the depth chart should be Oscar Delp who could be the x-factor of the tight end room after being selected in the third round of the draft this year. Delp brings a versatile option to the offense as he can lineup in various spots and handle the rigors of blocking in the run game. Delp’s calling card in college was his elite athleticism which jumps off the screen when you watch his tape. He has the ability to turn a five yard catch into an explosive play with how quickly he can get to top speed. Delp is an adequate, willing blocker where like most new tight ends in the league has room to improve in the blocking area of his game. With his versatility and athleticism I believe Delp will play a pivotal role in the offense this upcoming season. With Delp presumed to round out the depth chart at tight end the remaining tight ends will be competing for spots on the practice squad or spots on another team. This group includes Cody Hardy, Treyton Welch, Moliki Matavao, and Zaire Mitchell-Paden. We’ve seen Welch and Matavao from last season fill in admirably after some injuries but are best served as bench options at this point in time in their development. This group of roster hopefuls should hopefully provide some good competition from one another as we progress through training camp and preseason here shortly. Overall this group has a lot more promise heading into this season as it did last year. By getting younger and more athletic the tight ends will play a more prominent role in Kellen Moore’s offense. Whether it’s Juwan building on last season or Fant having a bounce back year or Delp proving to be revelation, the team is going to have plenty of options to choose from to attack the defense. Exactly what this team needed after not having enough last season.
Why Pelicans fans should be grateful for a boring day 1 of draft night.
Cornerback was one of the positions going into the offseason I thought could use another major infusion of talent. Outside of Marshon Lattimore’s time with the Saints the team has not had a bona fide number one caliber cornerback. We’ve seen the defense benefit from having one and what the defense looks like without one in recent years. The defense can still be very well be good and effective without a number one but knowing you have one who can take the opposing team’s best receiver out of the game is a game changer. So the Saints have gone through the offseason without any flashy additions to the cornerback room. I’m sure they would have liked to but with all the focus on upgrading the offense it seems like the plan will have to wait for another day. In the meantime though there is a major opportunity for the young cornerbacks on the roster to show they can be long term answers at the position. Kool-Aid McKinstry is entering his third year in the league and offers the best chance of these young corners to break out and become a number one corner. He’s been a reliable starter who has shown flashes of success but with the inconsistency you expect from a young player. Kool-Aid will look to make the patented third year jump a lot of young players tend to make. I’m sure the Saints would love to see it and they just might be with the feedback we have been getting from OTA’s and minicamp.
Official Visits Fuel Wave of 2027 Commitments June 2026 has been a landmark month for Tulane Green Wave football recruiting under head coach Will Hall. The program hosted a series of official visits that translated directly into commitments, adding significant talent and momentum to the 2027 class. What started as steady growth earlier in the offseason (6 Commits) exploded into a flurry of pledges, with Tulane securing approximately 18 commitments during June alone. This surge has pushed the class size to around 23 commits (Was 24, DB Deshaun Wylie De-Commit), with a strong emphasis on local Louisiana prospects, trench players, skill-position athletes, and versatile defenders. The Green Wave are building depth and competition across multiple position groups while capitalizing on the growing appeal of the program in New Orleans and beyond. Official Visits Drive the Momentum Official visit weekends in June proved decisive. Prospects got an up-close look at Yulman Stadium, the Uptown campus, the coaching staff, and the culture, and many didn’t need long to decide. June Commits: • Joshua Sylvain (WR, Miami Carol City HS, FL) Visited Tulane on June 18 and committed shortly after. The 6’4”, 205 lb big-bodied receiver brings length, contested-catch ability, and red-zone mismatch potential. • Multiple defensive backs and local standouts, including James Tyson (CB, St. Charles Catholic, LaPlace, LA), who had a strong OV and pledged. • Other visitors and quick turnarounds in the defensive line, edge, and skill groups helped fuel the run of commitments. These visits, combined with strong evaluations from camps and prior relationships, created a snowball effect. Coach Hall and the staff have been aggressive and targeted, landing players who fit the scheme and bring high character/intangibles. The June Commitment Haul (2027 Class) Here is a compiled list of the June 2027 commitments for Tulane. Early-to-Mid June Additions: • Teddy Graff (TE, 6’5”/220, Ensworth HS, Nashville, TN) Committed June 5. Blocking tight end with size and upside. • Anquan Jackson (RB, South Jones HS, Ellisville, MS) June 6. • Kavarris Duncan (DL, Winterboro HS, Alpine, AL) June 6. Interior presence. • Ray’Quan Williams (WR, 6’0”/163, St. Augustine HS, New Orleans, LA) June 7. Local speedster and playmaker (#111 WR nationally per 247). • Peyton Perkins (RB, Eupora HS, MS) June 7. Versatile athlete. • James Tyson (CB, 5’11”/180, St. Charles Catholic, LaPlace, LA) June 7. Local DB with strong OV. • Jackson Shaw (OT, 6’6”/260, Catholic HS, Baton Rouge, LA) June 7. Local offensive line help. • Gus Faulkner (S, 6’2”/212, Fairhope HS, AL) June 9. Athletic Hybrid LB. Mid-to-Late June Surge: • Ja’ir Burks (WR, Jesuit HS, New Orleans, LA) June 14. Another local New Orleans skill player. • Jaden Terrance (WR, Archbishop Rummel HS, Metairie, LA) June 14. Local versatile addition. • Hans Emery Julien (EDGE, 6’3”/235, Baylor School, Chattanooga, TN / Laval, Quebec) June 15. Explosive, high-motor pass rusher with length and Canadian prep background. • Malik Ward (EDGE, 6’4”/235, Gautier HS, MS) June 15. Long, athletic disruptor with Gulf Coast production. • Demetrius Terrell (DL, 6’3”/265, Parker HS, Birmingham, AL) June 16. High-upside interior lineman with two-way experience and violent hands. Strong scouting notes on pass rush and run defense. • Dallas Crescenzo (WR, 6’0”/183, Bastrop HS, TX) June 17. Became the 20th commit overall. Big-play vertical threat, excellent route runner, YAC creator, and return-game weapon. Previously decommitted from Purdue; polished and competitive. • Joshua Sylvain (WR, 6’4”/205, Miami Carol City HS, FL) June 19 (after June 18 OV). Imposing length, contested-catch specialist, deep-ball threat, and mismatch creator. One of the more physically dominant WRs in the class. • Aymaud Sykes (RB, 6’0”/180, Dry Prong HS, LA) June 21. Patient, decisive downhill runner with elite acceleration (4.29 40), long speed, contact balance, receiving versatility, and two-way/ATH traits. High-character leader with track pedigree and multi-sport background. Detailed scouting highlights vision, elusiveness, and finishing ability. These additions give Tulane notable strength at WR (multiple additions including local speed and big-bodied options), EDGE/DL (three impactful front-seven pieces in quick succession), secondary (DB/CB/S depth), and offensive line reinforcements, plus backfield and tight end help. Many bring Louisiana or regional ties, which resonates with the fanbase and aids retention/development. Class Outlook and What It Means Tulane’s 2027 class is taking shape rapidly and competitively for an American Conference program. The June haul demonstrates strong staff work in identifying fits, building relationships, and converting official visits into pledges. The emphasis on size/speed at skill positions, length and motor on the edges, and local talent creates a balanced foundation. Note: One earlier commit, DB De’Shawn Wylie, recently flipped to UConn, adjusting the net total slightly (class currently at 23 hard commits). This is normal in recruiting and doesn’t diminish the overall momentum or quality of the remaining group. Under Coach Will Hall, Tulane continues to raise its recruiting profile. The combination of on-field success, NIL/transfer portal activity, and genuine player development is attracting prospects who see a clear path. June’s official visit success and commitment wave position the Green Wave well for the rest of the summer, fall camps, and the 2026–27 cycle. #RollWave Tulane fans have plenty to be excited about. The wave is building. #RMFW Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X
Adding Etienne Jr. and keeping everyone healthy will immediately improve the running back room.
Yulman Stadium has been electric this June. In the IDPF or under the lights and in the Louisiana heat, the Tulane Green Wave coaching staff, led by head coach Will Hall, turned their summer camp circuit into a major recruiting statement. Across multiple sessions, the Green Wave extended 11 scholarship offers to talented prospects from Louisiana and beyond. The camps featured position-specific drills, 1-on-1 competitions, and direct evaluations from Coach Hall and his staff. Prospects left with more than just memories, several walked away with their first (or latest) Division I offer from a program that continues to build momentum in the American Conference and on the national recruiting trail. Standout Performers and Scholarship Recipients Tulane’s staff targeted size, athleticism, versatility, and scheme fit. Here are some of the prospects who earned offers during the recent camp sessions. Blair “Big Red” Lewis (Class of 2029 | OT | Jeanerette High School, LA | 6’6”, 300+ lbs)
The massive offensive tackle dominated the trenches with powerful hands, leverage, and improving footwork. After strong showings in pass pro and run blocking, he earned his Tulane offer from OL coach Cody Kennedy. Lewis already holds offers from LSU, USC, and Memphis and is one of the top 2029 linemen in the country. Trilon Francis (Class of 2028 | TE/DE Hybrid | Lafayette Renaissance Charter Academy | 6’3”, 230 lbs)
A high-motor, versatile athlete who flashed explosiveness at both tight end and on the edge. His length, change-of-direction ability, and physicality stood out. He picked up his third D-I offer after conversations with the defensive staff. Lipton Zachary Mckenzie (Class of 2029 | RB/ATH | Cardinal Gibbons High School, FL | 5’9”, 165 lbs)
The shifty, explosive back made defenders miss in space with elite burst and vision. Tulane saw a playmaker who can contribute as a change-of-pace back or return specialist. Nasir Parker (Class of 2028 | WR | 6’5”, 202 lbs) Earned his fifth overall offer. Reece Robinson (Class of 2030 | QB | Parklane Academy) Received his first Tulane offer and expressed excitement about building a relationship with the staff.@reeceqb12 Kasen Anio (Class of 2030 | ATH | Zachary High School | 6’2.5”, 208 lbs) Picked up his fifth offer after a strong camp and conversation with Coach Schexnayder. Mason Smith (Class of 2030 | QB | North Desoto) Earned an offer after working with QB coach Collin D’Angelo. Other prospects from the June 17 session and earlier camps also received offers (27- DB James Tyson Tulane commit), bringing the total to 11 scholarships extended during Tulane’s camp circuit this month. The staff evaluated talent across multiple classes (2027–2030), showing a clear long-term vision for roster building. Coaching Presence and Camp Atmosphere Head Coach Will Hall, along with assistants including Collin D’Angelo, Coach Schexnayder, Cody Kennedy, and others, were heavily involved in evaluations and conversations. Prospects from across Louisiana (New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette areas) and neighboring states competed in front of the staff. Recruiting Momentum Under Will Hall These 11 offers continue a strong trend for Tulane. The Green Wave have been aggressive in-state and regionally, targeting physical linemen, versatile athletes, and explosive skill players who fit Will Hall’s offensive and defensive schemes. With the transfer portal and NIL landscape evolving, camps like these allow Tulane to identify high-upside talent early and build relationships before the bigger national names lock in. The fact that multiple 2029 and 2030 prospects earned offers shows the staff is thinking ahead while still competing for immediate needs. What’s Next? The staff will continue monitoring these 11 new offer recipients as they navigate their recruiting processes. The camp circuit delivered, and the future looks bright in New Orleans. #RollWave #RMFW Make sure to follow Patrick Harkness on X
It’s the night before the draft, and you’re scrolling on X to see what all the NFL insiders and draft analysts have to say about your team. Trying to find any clues about who is going where and what the latest rumor is that could be the biggest surprise of Thursday night. The NFL Draft is one of the few times during the year when every fan has some level of hope and optimism in their team. The draft is a three-day event where it can make or break a franchise to where you can be set up for a Super Bowl contention or be stuck in the doldrums. This year, Saints fans get to have some hope and optimism after how well the 2025 NFL Draft went. Kelvin Banks and Tyler Shough headline their draft class, which showed great promise for the Saints moving forward. Now it is on Mickey Loomis, Jeff Ireland, and company to keep the momentum going and have back-to-back successful drafts. Something they haven’t been able to really do in almost ten years now. But pressure isn’t new to Mickey Loomis, the man is not fazed by the likes of you or me posting online how poor of a job he’s done. No, the man simply chews his gum into a microphone defiantly with the confidence knowing that when his back is against the wall, he can capture lightning in a bottle. Mickey did it for the 06’ draft as well as the 17’ draft. The 2025 draft doesn’t appear to be quite like those, however, getting a starting Quarterback in the second round might help make a case, but that’s beside the point. The Saints don’t need to shoot for the moon with the 2026 NFL Draft, they aren’t one player away, which Mickey confirmed today in his annual pre-draft interview. All the Saints have to do is draft good football players and not get cute. Which I know is putting it way too simply, and is easier said than done. But I don’t want the Saints to get trigger-happy and make a costly trade that backfires on them à la Trevor Penning or Marcus Davenport. If a trade opportunity comes along that they deem is reasonable, then by all means, I hope they take advantage, but just make sure you’re not the ones being taken advantage of. The Saints might have already done the hardest part by finding a QB, so now they can do the fun part of the roster building. I’ll admit there is some nervousness as a Saints fan about the draft and rightfully so, but as I type this out, the Saints are in a spot where they can’t really go wrong with their first pick in the draft. All the players being mocked to them can and should help the team in a major way as a rookie. They could go with a dynamic wide receiver like Jordyn Tyson or Carnell Tate, a do-it-all safety like Caleb Downs, a productive edge rusher like Ruben Bain, or maybe even trade up for a cyborg-like linebacker in Arvell Reese. The Saints have plenty of options, and all of them should be quality options. So now the question is, who is going to be the Saints fans’ present Thursday evening? We don’t have to wait much longer to find out. Merry Draftmas, everyone.
The Sun Belt Conference announced its "set" 2026 football schedule today, which includes the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. Normally, it does not take this long for the Sun Belt to release their annual football schedule. But ongoing issues between Louisiana Tech and Conference USA has complicated the process and delayed the schedule releases for both conferences. That said, I would take this "set" schedule release with a grain of salt (with heavy emphasis on the quotation marks). A few days ago, reports surfaced that the Sun Belt would indeed release its football schedule today and that it would include Louisiana Tech. The Bulldogs have already accepted an invite to join the Sun Belt last July, and is pushing to make the move this summer, pending a court ruling next week. Late Thursday night, however, Conference USA unexpectedly released its own "set" 2026 football schedule out of nowhere, which also includes Louisiana Tech as one of its member schools. The timing itself raised eyebrows, making it seem like the conference did it out of pettiness to release their version of the schedule with the Bulldogs included prior to the Sun Belt's scheduled Friday release, which was also set to include the Bulldogs. As a result, Louisiana Tech is technically listed as a member of both conferences according to the newly released schedules. Of course, the Bulldogs cannot play in two conferences at once, which is why both schedule releases should be viewed as tentative for now. A court ruling between the UL System (which oversees Louisiana Tech) and Conference USA is currently rumored to take place on Thursday next week (March 19th). The decision at this rumored hearing is expected to have a solution on whether Louisiana Tech can move to the Sun Belt in the summer or remain in the Conference USA for one more year before making the move in the summer of 2027. Until then, it is a wait-and-see game for members of both the Sun Belt and Conference USA. Ultimately, one of these newly released schedules will be right, while the other will be forced to change. But it is in the best interest that both sides have their backup non-Louisiana Tech schedules ready to go in case the ruling swings one way over the other.

When: Saturday, October 18th, 2025, 11:00 AM Where: FirstBank Stadium, Nashville, TN Channel: ABC Spread: Vanderbilt -2.5 O/U: 47.5 The Tigers will be playing Saturday morning in Music City. This matchup will tell us a lot! Vanderbilt, 5-1 (1-1), is entering into this contest coming off of a bye week. Vandy does appear to be a little beat up. Keep an eye out for this. The Commodores have the 4th best rushing offense in the SEC as well as the 5th best total offense in the SEC. Diego Pavia is the leader of this team. Pavia has over 1400 passing yards, over 300 rushing yards, and 16 total TDs. Sedrick Alexander and Makihilyn Young are the leaders in the running back room. The leading pass catchers are Eli Stowers, Junior Sherrill, and Tre Richardson. The defense is led by safety CJ Heard, edge rusher Miles Capers, and Bryan Longwell. This isn't your grandpa's, your dad's, nor your Vanderbilt. This is a high strung team. The Tigers are in for a fight. LSU, 5-1 (2-1), enters the contest coming off of a big win against South Carolina. Garrett Nussmeier appears to be healthy. The ball really jumped off of his hand last week. The Tiger signal caller will look to cut back on the interceptions. Caden Durham and Ju'Juan Johnson will take care of the backfield duties for the Tigers. Both Durham and Johnson had solid games last week. The offensive line will look to build off of the momentum from last week. Trey'Dez Green had a great game last week. It will be interesting to see how the Tigers use Green. Kyle Parker has stepped up big time in recent weeks. I would like to see Parker continue to be involved. Aaron Anderson appears to be good to go for this one. This is huge for the Tigers. The Tiger defense is a solid unit with talent at all 3 levels. Jacobian Guillory is the leader on the line. Whit Weeks, who is a bit dinged up, is the leader in the linebacker room. Tamarcus Cooley and AJ Haulcy are the leaders in the defensive backfield, but this defensive backfield is LOADED with talent! KEYS TO THE GAME - The Tigers shut down Diego Pavia last year. This defense had practice last week facing LaNorris Sellers. Let's see if the Tigers can make Pavia one dimensional. - Can the Tiger defense get off the field on 3rd down? - Can the Tigers keep the running game going? This will be a perfect way to start the day, Tiger fans. This looks to be a great game. Fun Fact: The 1st time these teams met was in 1902. LSU finished the season 6-1 with the only loss being to Vanderbilt. The Tigers went on to capture a co-conference championship. Follow me on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) @eazytro
