Tennessee sophomore left fielder Dylan Dreiling was named Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Tournament’s Knoxville Regional, which the top-ranked Vols won Sunday night with a 12-3 win over Southern Miss at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. Six of the 11 spots on the team went to Tennessee players, but Dreiling won the Most Outstanding Player award after a consistently stout weekend at the plate. The draft-eligible sophomore (and likely early-round pick in this summer’s draft) was big at the plate in the Vols’ wins over Northern Kentucky, Indiana and Southern Miss. Dreiling was 7-of-13 (.538) in the Knoxville Regional, collecting…

considering the Ravens saw Jadeveon Clowney walk this free agency to sign with the Carolina Panthers. Campbell isn’t what he was a couple of years into his prime but he provides a boost for Clowney’s replacement. The Miami product did play for the Ravens between 2020-2022 so it makes sense why sources believe this could be a fit. However, Mike Macdonald isn’t the defensive coordinator for the Ravens anymore since Zach Orr is taking over those duties. The Ravens would know what type of playing they’re getting out of Campbell. He may not be the same but he could…
LAKE FOREST, Ill., — With OTA’s officially in the books and mandatory minicamp the next step on the NFL’s offseason calendar, the Chicago Bears have started to piece together a plan for what training camp during July and August could hold. In the third year of the Ryan Poles-Matt Eberflus era, the franchise will have a number of key roster decisions to make. The worst-kept secret about the 2024 offseason is that Chicago’s roster moves were largely predicated on building a team that would allow No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams to succeed. With Williams now on the roster,…
JJ Redick recently revealed his ballot for the 2023-24 NBA awards. One player who was missing from the All-Defensive Teams: Lakers star Anthony Davis. While the search for a head coach is reportedly still ongoing, many believe it to be a foregone conclusion that JJ Redick will ultimately become the next head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s an extraordinary gamble on the Lakers’ behalf, as Redick has yet to coach at the professional or collegiate levels. There are some in Los Angeles who see Redick as a Pat Riley-level coaching prospect, however, and the early signs are…
The season is still young, a lot can change, blah, blah, blah. But as this moment, Rafael Devers appears to be on his way to the best year of his career. What’s been the catalyst to his resurgence? The Red Sox think it’s all about plate discipline. The 12.2% walk rate Devers is currently carrying is easily the best mark of his career. (Julian McWilliams, Boston Globe) Devers isn’t the only Red Sox player having a career season, Jamie Westbrook is, too! In his case, though, the career-year thing is kind of happening by default, as he only just…
The New York Giants’ offense was abysmal in 2023, averaging 15.6 points per game. They struggled to move the ball downfield with consistency and oftentimes found themselves failing to convert while in the red zone. As a result, some serious changes could soon be made to the structure of the offense. Offensive coordinator Mike Kafka has been the Giants’ playcaller on offense since being hired during the 2022 offseason. His playcalling has been inconsistent and, resultingly, New York’s offense has struggled. In 2022, Big Blue’s offense ranked 18th in the NFL with 333.9 total yards per game. Their middle-of-the-road unit…
Amid the uncertainty around wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, the San Francisco 49ers could swing big for three-time All-Pro Justin Jefferson. Similar to Aiyuk, Jefferson wants a bigger contract, and the Minnesota Vikings superstar wideout didn’t show up for the start of organized team activities. Andrew Hughes of USA Today’s Vikings Wire proposed a hypothetical trade package for the 49ers to acquire Jefferson and only lose veteran wideout Jauan Jennings in the process. That means the 49ers could have an elite trio of Jefferson, Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel for at least 2024. Hughes wrote that the 49ers could send…
New York Giants appear determined to make more of Wan’Dale Robinson’s multi-faceted talents. At least based on how often the third-year wide receiver is moving into different positions during OTAs. Robinson was seen “lined up in the backfield and out wide, as the Giants continued to move the slot receiver around the field,” at practice on Thursday, May 30, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. This is the time of year teams and coaches indulge every whim and throw every idea at the board to see what sticks. Yet, it’s still a good sign the Giants are…
Terrion Arnold has yet to step foot on the turf of an NFL game and league analysts are dropping his name in the hat to win Defensive Rookie of the Year. CBS Sports’ Chris Trapasso ranked the new Detroit Lion as the leading candidate for DROY, citing his clean performance on film and despite a so-so combine. “A decade ago, he may be considered small for the outside cornerback spot. Not today, with the way receivers — even perimeter ones — around the league are getting smaller and lighter,” he said. It’s just how well Arnold is…
