With Bregman possibly opting out of a $40 million player option for 2026, the Tigers could seize the opportunity to enhance their roster. Bregman is currently experiencing career-high averages in pulled fly ball rate and hard-hit percentage, suggesting he may seek a lucrative, long-term contract.

Alabama HC Kalen DeBoer can send a statement to LSU and Florida by landing 5-star QB Alabama is in the mix for a 5-star QB in the 2027 cycle, and could send a big statement to SEC rivals by landing him. Fresh off of signing the No. 2 QB in the country in the 2025 class in Keelon Russell, Kalen DeBoer and Alabama weren’t able to attract the elite of the elite signal-callers in the 2026 class.
