In this week's Akem's Analysis, I'm looking at who some of the young rising stars in FCS football are. These are players who have the chance to be some of the best in the country in 2026. Luke Combs made waves by saying he doesn't donate NIL at App State, and he thinks they should drop down. Are there real drop-down candidates at the FCS level? Sam Herder reported on potential changes coming to the FCS playoff eligibility and what that would look like in practice for the 2026 season. All of this and more in this week's Akem's Analysis.
