Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman stole the spotlight at the 2025 IIHF World Championships, leading Team USA to its first gold medal since 1933.

Swayman’s dominance was a welcome sight for Bruins fans after a turbulent end to the NHL season that saw Boston eliminated early. The tournament reinforced Swayman’s potential as a franchise goaltender, prompting speculation that the Bruins may lean on…
Florida Gators forward Alex Condon has withdrawn his name from the 2025 NBA Draft and will return for his sophomore season, giving the Gators one of the most formidable frontcourts in the SEC. Condon, a 6-foot-11 Australian powerhouse, showed flashes of dominance last season, averaging 9.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in limited minutes. His decision to return is a massive boost for head coach Todd Golden, who is assembling a roster that blends experience with high-upside youth. With Condon back alongside Will Richard and freshman phenom Asa Newell, Florida’s interior presence will be one of the most feared in college…
Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, is embracing his role as the new face of the Chicago Bears with maturity and poise.

Coach Smith, who recruited Chiles at Oregon State, said, “He’s got the tools, the character, and the command of the offense. We’re building around him.” The Spartans are looking to rebound from a…

His Trackhouse Racing team delivered lightning-fast pit stops, and a late-race caution allowed him to make a final charge. In the final 20 laps, Chastain passed Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney, eventually edging out Kyle Larson in a thrilling finish that had fans on their feet.

A long-term deal that could, ironically, give him a smaller average per year…
