LSU football offensive lineman Jordan Seaton was named to the Outland Trophy preseason watch list. The award is presented annually to the best collegiate interior lineman on offense or defense. Glenn Dorsey is the only former Tiger to win it, taking the honor home in 2007.
Seaton came to LSU as the top offensive lineman in the transfer portal. He spent his first two years of college at Colorado, starting all 13 games as a true freshman. It's incredibly rare for true freshman to start on the offensive line but the former five-star prospect earned the role at left tackle, helping the Buffaloes finish 9-4.
As a sophomore, Seaton started the first nine games but sat for the final three due to an injury. He still earned a spot on the All-Big 12 second team, following up 2024 when multiple outlets named him to their freshman All-American teams.
Seaton adds much-needed experience and talent to a depleted offensive line room. LSU lost much of its depth to the transfer portal but retained key pieces from last year, such as center Braelin Moore.

Watch list season in college football continues to roll along. Recently, USC quarterback Jayden Maiava and running back Waymond Jordan were named to the Maxwell Award Watch List. However, they were not the only Trojans to make a watch list this past week.
On Tuesday, the watch list was announced for the Outland Trophy, presented annually to the top interior lineman in college football. Included on the list was USC offensive lineman Alani Noa.
After earning snaps as a reserve offensive lineman in 2023, Noa has started at offensive guard for the Trojans each of the past two seasons, Now, he returns for his senior year as a key member of a USC offensive line that is bringing back all five starters from 2025 (minus center Kilian O'Connor, who head coach Lincoln Riley announced on Thursday suffered an injury and will miss the entire season).
The only Trojan to ever win the Outland Trophy was offensive lineman Ron Yary all the way back in 1967. For context, USC head coach Lincoln Riley would not be born for another 16 years after that. Now, six decades later, Noa will look to become the second.
USC will kick off its 2026 season on August 29 at the Coliseum against San Jose State.

The Eagles changed a lot about their offense this offseason, but offensive coordinator Sean Mannion will be holding onto something from previous regimes.
Mannion was asked about his stance on the tush push during a press conference on Saturday. The quarterback sneak has been a staple in Philadelphia for several years, but they were less successful running it in 2025 and the team parted ways with longtime offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland this year. Neither of those things will lead to the play disappearing from the playbook, however.
"It's gonna be a part of what we do," Mannion said. "It's been an extremely effective play here. We're going to lean into that. It's something this organization has executed at a high level. So along with many other elements to our offense, certainly, it's something that will be a part of it."
Mannion was hired after the Eagles dropped to 19th in the league in points scored last season and he'll be charged with reversing that dip in his first season. Fixing larger issues will be crucial to that effort, but the tush push will still be on hand when needed.

Kentucky Wildcats senior center Coleton Price has been tabbed to The Rimington Trophy preseason watch list for the nation's top center. This marks the second straight season Price earned a spot on The Rimington Trophy's preseason watch list.
Meanwhile, senior left tackle Lance Heard has been named to the preseason watch list for the Outland Trophy, given annually to the nation's top offensive/defensive lineman.
Price, who played his previous three seasons at Baylor, has seen action in 32 career games and made 30 starts. Last season, he logged 842 snaps while earning an 83.6 pass-block grade and a 69.5 run-block grade from Pro Football Focus. He allowed just one sack, six quarterback hurries and seven total pressures, while starting 11 of 12 games.
As for Heard, he transferred to Kentucky this past offseason after two seasons at Tennessee and one season at LSU. He's played 35 career games (24 starts) while allowing just three sacks in his career. He was a Third-Team All-SEC pick after making all 12 starts at left tackle for the Volunteers in 2025. He earned a 72.3 pass-blocking grade and a 69.7 run-blocking grade from PFF across 887 total snaps.

Florida football junior center Harrison Moore has been named to the Rimington Trophy watch list, an award given to college football's top center.
A transfer from Georgia Tech, the 6-foot-4, 293-pound Moore appeared in 11 games and made eight starts for the Yellow Jackets in 2025. Moore helped anchor an offensive line that allowed just nine sacks (0.69 per game) during the season.
The Trophy Committee worked with Pro Football Focus (PFF) to narrow down its list to the top 40 centers PFF grades every player on every play of every game on how well they execute their given ******* ignment. That play-by-play grading allowed the Trophy committee to create a watchlist based both on nominations from the schools and data provided by PFF.
Dave Rimington, the award's namesake, was a consensus first-team All-America center at the University of Nebraska in 1981 and 1982, during which time he became the John Outland Trophy's only two-time winner as the nation's finest college interior lineman.
Moore is projected to replace former Florida Gators center Jake Slaughter, a two-time All-American and two-time Rimington Award finalist in 2024 and 2025. Slaughter was taken in the second round by the Los Angeles Chargers in the 2026 NFL draft.

Two Bulldogs are being recognized in the preseason after being named to watchlists for the nation's top players.
Senior defensive back Simeon Harris has been added to the watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Award, given to college football's best defensive player of the year.
Last season, Simeon was second on the team in tackles and ranked 7th in the nation for interceptions.
Senior defensive lineman DJ Lafitte named to the Outland Trophy watch list, the award given to the nation's top interior lineman.
Simeon - a natural leader. Very vocal, understands football, very aware of his surroundings and can help everyone in the backend. With DJ, his evolution while he's been here. I knew DJ before I got to fresno... and the young man that you see now..." Fresno State Football head coach Matt Entz said. "Young men have an opportunity to grow up in programs like ours where it's all about the development it's all about the growth."

The Outland Trophy is given to the best interior lineman – offense or defense – in college football.
Both are selected and presented in part by the FWAA.

John Harbaugh is rebuilding the New York Giants on the foundation of smothering defense and power running, but the team's success still ultimately hinges on how much quarterback Jaxson Dart can develop in Year 2, particularly how well he heeds the warning about a couple of "subpar" numbers his new coaches can't ignore.
Those numbers refer to what Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus dubbed Dart's "subpar accuracy: His 11.2% plus accurate throw rate tied for last, and his 58.9% accurate attempt rate tied for 21st."
Issues with ball placement underpinned a "3.4% turnover-worthy play rate tied for sixth-highest" amongst quarterbacks in 2025. Becoming more accurate is part of the learning curve for any young signal-caller in the NFL, but Locker cautioned that "if Dart fails to make a jump in 2026, it could render some uncomfortable conversations and/or transactions next offseason."
Perhaps that's a little outlandish, given how the Giants traded up to invest a first-round pick in Dart during the 2025 NFL draft. Yet, the worrying numbers detailed by Locker are part of recurring issues for Big Blue's QB1 entering a critical sophomore campaign.
Dart's list of flaws contains some repeat offenders, with accuracy and "avoiding poor decisions and sacks" chief among them, per Locker. Fixing accuracy begins with dart refining his mechanics from the pocket, a process he's already begun under the watchful eye of a noted quarterback whisperer on Harbaugh's staff.

After years of success in WWE and WCW, Jeff Jarrett paved his own path in professional wrestling as a co-founder of TNA. But had he not stood his ground in contract negotiations, one of wrestling's most pivotal promotions might never have been born.
Jarrett's departure from WWE (formerly known as WWF) is an infamous story, often told as the moment when Jarrett "held up" WWE Chairman Vince McMahon ahead of his final match with the company in 1999. The story goes that Jarrett demanded $200,000 without a contract for his final match against Chyna — an Intercontinental Championship match — at that year's No Mercy pay-per-view. However, that isn't the whole truth, as Jarrett clarified on Monday's edition of "The Ariel Helwani Show."
"It is fascinating how some people say, 'Jeff Jarrett held Vince McMahon up.' Really think about that. **** ody's going to hold Vince up for — I mean, it's outlandish, it's ridiculous," Jarrett told Uncrowned.
"It was proposed, 'Hey, Chyna's going to have her first match,' or whatever it may be. So there really was a collision course between the male chauvinist deal [many characters were portraying] and 'here comes Chyna.' So that sets the course.
"One of the pieces of the puzzle that people just kind of gloss over was that Vince McMahon was taking his company public. And so the summer and early fall of that year, he was out literally going around the world. He'd go to 'Raw,' and then he'd get on a plane and do more bank — he's out prepping to sell and take the company public. So I was dealing with J.R. [Jim Ross] in my contract negotiations."

Every summer, especially during the “slow” time on the calendar, we ask VikingsTerritory writers for their hottest takes regarding the upcoming season, predictions that are bold and outlandish. This year is no different. You can read last year’s here.
Remember: these takes are designed to be “out there.” We’ll have formal predictions — serious ones — later this summer.
Predictor: Janik Eckardt
Greenard arrived in 2024 and logged 12 QB takedowns in his first campaign in purple en route to Pro Bowl recognition. Year No. 2 delivered underwhelming returns with only 3 sacks. That makes 15 sacks in a Vikings uniform, a total his successor, Dallas Turner, will eclipse in his first year as a starter.
Predictor: Tony Schultz

Replacing talent is one challenge. Replacing familiarity is another entirely. The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2026 season without A.J. Brown, one of the league's premier wide receivers over the past four seasons, but everyone already knows that.
It's also common knowledge that they'll also begin life without legendary offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, whose fingerprints remain all over one of football's most respected position groups. Those are significant departures, but neither represents the Eagles' biggest storyline entering training camp. That honor belongs to Sean Mannion. Can we argue that his impact might be one of the largest determining factors of how this season ends?
Every discussion about Philadelphia's chances of repeating as NFC East champions eventually circles back to two questions. How quickly can the Eagles master the new offensive coordinator's system? Can that system catapult the offense to the tier of the NFL's elite?
The Eagles didn't simply replace a receiver this offseason. They're changing the way they play offense. Reports throughout the spring have consistently pointed toward an attack featuring more pre-snap motion, more snaps from under center, and greater emphasis on creating easy throws through scheme rather than asking receivers to consistently win isolated matchups.
It's a philosophical shift that asks everyone, from Jalen Hurts to the offensive line, to learn new responsibilities. Yes, it's yet another different play caller for Jalen Hurts. What is this? His seventh play caller? Somehow, he has remained consistent in a web of instability.

Like him, love him, hate him or be completely indifferent to him — Michael Block has a way of grabbing people's attention. Whether it be because of his putts, his ability to rise to the occasion (occasionally) or his personality, the spotlight seems to always be focused on Block.
Where the media outlines the 50-year-old's alleged "fall from grace" and "overly animated" persona, it's worth noting the attention he's brought to the sport of golf, for better or for worse, and after making his debut at the 2026 PGA Tour Champions **** 's Open at En-Joie Club this past weekend, Block is dreaming of reliving his 2023 PGA Tour glory at the U.S. Senior Open, preferably, with New Yorkers watching.
When someone as notably controversial as Block begins a sentence with "they're gonna hate me for this" and follows it with "I had a dream," it's hard not to tense up in anticipation of what words may come next.
But Block's dream of winning the U.S. Senior Open at 50 years old is one of the lesser outlandish things he's said.
"I literally had a dream that I would win the U.S. Senior Open the first year I turned 50, and that's something I've had in my head for a long time," Block said.

Fox Sports has **** embled a motley crew for its coverage of the North American-hosted 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup this summer, with a top panel consisting of Alexi Lalas, Thierry Henry, and Zlatan Ibrahimović, and anchored by Rebecca Lowe.
Despite what has appeared to be clear disdain from Henry and Ibrahimović toward Lalas, Lowe has insisted that there is "a lot of respect" between the panelists. However, those insistences have done little to curb others from declaring open season on Lalas and his hot takes and half-baked **** ysis; from The Athletic's Andrew Marchand penning a column wishing Lalas hadnever learned English to The Guardian's Aaron Timms claiming that Lalas specialized in "trollish, hyperventilating garbage."
Now, one of Lalas's most heralded teammates on the USMNT, Eric Wynalda, has thrown his hat in the ring.
"I think it's been unwatchable at times," Wynalda told John Shrader during an appearance on The Soccer Media Podcast. "Yeah, I think, I mean, I think a lot of people feel that way. I mean, Alexi is, kind of true to the Fox brand, has been told: this is what we need you to do, start a fight, say some things, insult some people, say something outlandish that no one will believe, and we'll see how many people will click into that. I think the American public has grown up now. I think our community, our soccer community is way too knowledgeable to fall for that anymore."
Eric Wynalda has covered the Bundesliga, the UEFA Champions League, and the FA Cup for Fox, so if anyone has an inside track on what the network wants from its soccer **** ysts, it'd be him.

The Philadelphia Eagles have long valued rare athletic profiles, whether they come from traditional football backgrounds or from athletes who sharpened their instincts, speed, toughness, and body control in other sports.
That history has included Olympic track athletes, college basketball players, baseball prospects, rugby converts, skiers, high school dunkers, and players whose multi-sport backgrounds helped explain why they looked different once they reached the football field. The list ranges from franchise icons to short-term roster experiments, but each player represents the competitive range that has helped shape Philadelphia's personnel philosophy.
No. 1 belongs to Terrell Owens, whose basketball background added another layer to one of the most physically dominant wide receiver careers in NFL history. Before Owens entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he played college basketball at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and appeared in the 1995 NCAA Tournament. His strength, leaping ability, body control, and competitive edge translated to football, where he became one of the league's most feared wide receivers. Owens' tenure with the Eagles was brief, but his impact was enormous. He helped push Philadelphia to Super Bowl ***** IX, played through a serious leg injury on the sport's biggest stage, and remains one of the most talented players ever to wear an Eagles uniform.
Donovan McNabb ranks No. 2 after building one of the strongest multi-sport résumés of any franchise quarterback in team history. McNabb was a football star at Syracuse, but he also spent two seasons as a reserve guard for Jim Boeheim's nationally ranked basketball program. He was part of the 1996 Syracuse team that reached the national championship game before losing to Kentucky. McNabb's basketball background showed in his footwork, vision, balance, and ability to create outside structure. With the Eagles, he became the best quarterback in franchise history, leading Philadelphia to five NFC championship games, one Super Bowl appearance, and the most successful sustained run of the Andy Reid era.
Jordan Mailata checks in at No. 3 because his transition remains one of the most remarkable athletic development stories in modern NFL history. Mailata arrived from Australia as a former professional rugby league player who had never played organized American football before entering the NFL Draft process. The Eagles selected him in the seventh round in 2018 and developed him into a franchise left tackle. His rugby background gave him rare movement skills, toughness, and open-field athleticism for a player of his size. Still, his rise also required years of technical development under offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland. Mailata's path from rugby prospect to elite NFL tackle makes him one of Philadelphia's greatest scouting and development success stories.
