[Follow our live coverage of the Supreme Court’s hearing on the Texas Abortion Law.] WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is hearing arguments on Monday in challenges to a Texas law that has sharply curtailed abortions in the state.

Four-star safety Bryce Anderson trending toward Texas A&M over Texas
When four-star safety Bryce Anderson announced his top two schools, it became an old-fashioned in-state Texas vs Texas A&M showdown. Both schools are pushing hard to land Anderson, needing him to be a key part of their secondary. Despite having to go through multiple schedule changes, Anderson made it to Austin on an official visit. Current commit Jaylon Guilbeau and DBU legend Michael Huff hung out with the Beaumont native throughout the weekend.
