Browns nab versatile playmaker KC Concepcion at No. 24 in 2026 NFL Draft

With the 24th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Browns selected Texas A&M wide receiver KC Concepcion, a versatile playmaker and returner who earned the 2025 Paul Hornung Award as college football’s most versatile player. Concepcion founded the KC Concepcion Foundation to aid Charlotte and Raleigh communities and wrote a letter to all 32 NFL GMs via The Players’ Tribune about his adversity and growth, which impressed Browns GM Andrew Berry. In 2025 he had 57 receptions for 886 yards and nine receiving TDs, plus 460 punt-return yards and 12 total TDs, ranking among the SEC leaders with 1,409 all-purpose yards; he lined up both outside and inside in an RPO-based scheme, finishing his Texas A&M career with 61 receptions for 919 yards and nine TDs.

Texas A&M Researchers Eye Fire Whirls to Speed Oil Spill Cleanup

Researchers at Texas A&M tested controlled fire whirls (fire tornadoes) as a method to burn oil spills more quickly and with less soot than current in-situ burning, achieving up to 95% fuel burn-off with 40% less soot in a 17‑foot-tall fire whirl; the concept is in early stages and aims to speed cleanup while protecting coastlines, pending further research on practicality and environmental impact.

Watchful students policing the syllabus: a new threat to academic freedom

A Conversation US piece argues that academic freedom is increasingly endangered as students act as informants to police classroom content, citing Texas A&M incidents in 2025 and 2026 and a 2024 Harvard study showing rising faculty self-censorship. It distinguishes academic freedom from free speech, notes legal complexities around recording in classrooms, and calls for new norms—such as think-tank–style confidentiality and classroom compacts—to protect teaching and research from political interference and preserve open inquiry.
