Joey McGuire and Texas Tech ran a full-fledged campaign for Jacob Rodriguez to get more recognition among Heisman voters. This pushed the linebacker to score his first touchdown against the UCF Knights and perform a Heisman pose, which resulted in a 48-9 win. As the Heisman efforts are in full swing, the LB also paid homage to a $340 million Heisman winner. November 15th wasn’t just a game day for the Red Raiders; it was their Senior Day ceremony. Every senior was recognized before the game, and celebrated their moments. Jacob Rodriguez made sure to add his own touch, donning his cowboy hat, holding it high in the air, as the whole Jones AT&T Stadium crowd rained cheers of appreciation. While Rodriguez was asked about the ‘cowboy hat’, the Red Raiders LB revealed that it was a homage to the Heisman winner Joe Burrow. According to Jarrett Ramirez’s report on X, “Jacob Rodriguez said wearing his cowboy hat for senior day was a nod to Joe Burrow’s “Burreaux” jersey on his own senior night. Rodriguez got the idea from Tech head strength coach Lance Barilow, who was on staff at LSU in 2019.” Lance Barilow was a staff member at LSU when Joe Burrow won the Heisman Trophy in 2019.

It didn’t end there. Burrow led LSU to win the 2020 national championship against Clemson by 42-25. He went to the postseason and completed the 2019 season with 60 passing TDs, breaking the single-season FBS record posted by Colt Brennan (58) in 2006. He also tied the most touchdowns (65) with Bailey Zappe in 2021, and fourth most passing yards (5671), tied with Case Keenum in 2009. A shoutout from the aspirant to the Heisman winner, who won the poll by a big margin, seems like a stunt to boost his campaign. However, Rodriguez is also racking up some Heisman-worthy numbers on his 2025 campaign. Jacob Rodriguez’ Heisman Trophy-worthy season Jacob Rodriguez has been having a noteworthy 2025 season with some incredible numbers. Entering week 12, he has totaled 97 tackles (54 solo), 9.5 tackles for loss, seven forced fumbles, three interceptions, and two fumble recoveries. Rodriguez is a defensive beast for Texas Tech, who had 10 straight games with at least five tackles and recorded a season high of 14 tackles twice, against Kansas and BYU. He had 12 tackles for a loss to Arizona State, and 11 and 10 against Utah and Oklahoma. His 14 tackles, a fumble recovery, and an interception in Tech’s 29 – 7 win over BYU, led the former Red Raiders QB Patrick Mahomes, who was in attendance on the Chiefs bye week endorse Rodriguez for the Heisman finalist, through a tweet, “Get him to New York! @HeismanTrophy.” On the Saturday game against UCF, he came up short with nine tackles, of which six are solo tackles. He also scored his first touchdown, snapping the ball from the QB position, as an effort to be in the Heisman trophy conversation. However, his chances of winning the Heisman are incredibly slim. Currently, Ohio State’s Julian Sayin and Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza are considered the favorites. But he’ll probably get votes if he leads the Red Raiders to win the Big 12.

While Deion Sanders preaches positivity on social media, a storm of speculation is brewing in Cleveland that could directly impact his son, Shedeur. Even though his son has not seen any regular-season game action yet, Coach Prime’s optimistic aura remains unmistakable. “Today will be a blessed, productive Day!” He recently posted on X. Today will be a blessed, productive Day! #CoachPrime — COACH PRIME (@DeionSanders) November 16, 2025 Coach Prime clearly senses the urgency surrounding the Cleveland Browns’ upcoming Sunday showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. It’s a make-or-break moment for 216 as they sit bottom of the division standings. Maybe, just maybe, his son Shedeur could finally get his shot on the field. The timing of such a chance wouldn’t entirely be a surprise. Recently, HC Kevin Stefanski spoke highly of Shedeur’s work ethic. He’s doing a really nice job,” Stefanski said on the QB2. “Continues to work really hard, do a good job in meetings.” It’s no secret that the Browns have been struggling this season. Their recent 27-20 knockout at the hands of the New York Jets exposed the troubles knocking on the door. That infamous fourth-and-1 moment epitomized their offense’s current identity crisis. This loss again sparked the same question: Will Stefanski finally give Shedeur some game time? Dillon Gabriel, the Browns’ starter quarterback who replaced Joe Flacco early in the season, flashes talent but consistently falls short when it counts. His rookie stats have been far from the best, placing him 30th in the NFL’s latest Week 11 quarterback rankings. The Browns’ current situation points to giving Shedeur a single opportunity, which could be the spark the entire franchise needs. Rumors have suggested that Stefanski’s confidence in Gabriel partly stems from them possibly sharing the same agent, Jimmy Sexton. Regardless, as the Week 11 showdown looms large. For Dillon Gabriel, it could shape the rest of his rookie campaign, and for Kevin Stefanski, it may define his future. Is Kevin Stefanski’s job on the line? The insiders on 92.3 The Fan predict the Brown Bombers are on the brink of decisive action. “You’ve been blown out four times this year…That’s where I put it on Andrew Berry going, ‘your team ain’t good. You got some good young talent, but it ain’t enough,” Ken Carman said on the show. “Your team ain’t good.’ So that’s an Andrew Berry problem as well.” Simply put, the Cleveland Browns’ front office might finally pull the trigger. “Sunday could be that day where you start to see some jogging,” Carman added. “But to not really have the offense that can punch forward and go get that win, I’m afraid that could break the franchise or at least break the roster…And that, that really puts Kevin [Stefanski’s] job in jeopardy.” Not just Stefanski. Anthony Lima chimed in, saying that he thinks this can get “everybody fired.” Cleveland’s history does little to inspire calm. The Browns hired Freddie Kitchens in 2019, only to show him the door after just one 6-10 season. Things don’t look good for Stefanski. The head coach did get Cleveland’s hopes up by taking the Browns to the playoffs twice, delivering an 8-9 season in 2021 and an 11-6 record in 2023. Yet, since then, the magic faded quickly. With last season’s dismal 3-14 record and a 2-7 start this year, the Browns are stuck last in their division. Stefanski’s win-loss record with Cleveland stands at 42-51 over 93 games. With so much riding on this Sunday’s game, the Browns have more than pride at stake. Whether it’s finally giving Shedeur Sanders his shot or parting ways with Kevin Stefanski, Cleveland is teetering on a big decision.
