While McCutcheon committed to Philadelphia Eagles in July, the signs that he’d reconsider staying in Texas were there when he told On3’s Justin Wells that he was keeping his options open after a visit to Texas during the Sept. 28 gam against Mississippi State. Florida State, which was left out of the College Football Playoff in 2023 despite an undefeated season, has had quite the fall from grace, going 1-5 this year. Texas has seen success at both attracting and developing high-caliber receivers. The Longhorns had three wide receivers selected in the 2024 NFL Draft, including: Xavier Worthy (1st round,…

The Astros have a need for a corner outfielder after trading Tucker to the Chicago Cubs. Proponents speculate that…
Todd McLellan faced a lot of hurdles as the first Detroit Red Wings coach to join the team midseason in more than 40 years on Dec. 26. He had little or no knowledge of the players, hadn’t worked with the coaches who remained on staff after Derek Lalonde was dismissed and didn’t have the benefit of any practices – let alone several – before having to step behind the bench. In a span of 40 days, the Red Wings seem to have transformed into another team, moving up to the top wild card spot. They have fashioned two seven-game winning…
The Ohio State Buckeyes remain focused on attempting to win the College Football Playoff, but the program has already begun recruiting for the 2026 class.
