The 21-year-old junior, who had just been named a preseason Heisman contender, delivered the news at a press conference surrounded by teammates, coaches, and family. “I’ve been dealing with symptoms for months,” Boyd said, his voice cracking. “After seeing specialists, I was told continuing to play could permanently damage my brain.” Boyd, who led the Spartans to a Big Ten Championship appearance last season, was known for his resilience…
History was made in Montreal as 14-year-old Cavan Sullivan officially debuted with the Canadiens, becoming the youngest professional athlete in the club’s storied existence and across North American sports. Though a soccer standout by training, Sullivan’s elite footwork, vision, and athleticism drew interest from the Canadiens’ scouting department, which extended him a rare dual-development opportunity.
