Boston College offensive lineman Kyle Hergel is a very big individual, who eats a lot, with a unique story. He ended up in Chestnut Hill by way of Canada.
Hergel, a sixth-year graduate transfer from Ontario, is a former unranked recruit who is entering his first year with the Eagles this fall. His career began with three years at the University of North Dakota (not to be confused with the Bison).

Ducks veteran goaltender John Gibson has reportedly demanded a trade from the organization, and he didn’t mince words when doing so, according to NHL insider Frank Seravalli.
During an appearance on the Nasty Knuckles podcast, Seravalli claimed that Gibson told the organization he’s not going to play another game in Anaheim.
“John Gibson’s asked for a trade. And I’ve reported that, and he’s said, ‘I am not playing another game for the Anaheim Ducks,’” Seravalli said.
The Ducks finished with a league-worst 58 points in 2022–23.
When the full rosters for the 2023 MLB All-Star Game were revealed, the usual gripes about players who were left off the list followed. Of course, most of these complaints end up being premature, as many players are added as injury replacements in the days leading up to the Midsummer Classic itself. But the absence of Padres star right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. drew an interesting explanation from a prominent MLB insider.
After enduring a devastating opening-round Wimbledon loss on Monday, Venus Williams spoke candidly about a frightening knee injury she sustained early in her loss to Elina Svitolina.
Competing in a historic 24th appearance on Centre Court, Williams, 43, seized early control over Svitolina, 28, only to fall behind after slipping at the net while attempting a backhand volley during the third game. Williams screamed in pain after tweaking her already bandaged right knee on the fall but managed to play through her injury after two medical timeouts and eventually fell 6–4, 6–3.
Morgan Wrublik traded the shot put for a football over the weekend and eviscerated the narrative that girls can’t throw. Her brother, Nate, needed to run routes so she subbed in at quarterback to help him out.
Wrublik, a rising senior at Illinois State, competes in the hammer throw, weight throw and shot put.

She has multiple second-place finishes throughout her first three years in both indoor and outdoor. Wrublik’s 55.
Social media had a hearty laugh at the expense of New York Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe after he showed off his CPR form on Monday.
The young man’s play this year hasn’t been breathtaking, but the way Volpe presses down on the chest of a potential cardiac arrest victim is something working adding to a nursing highlight reel.
Volpe joined Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin as the latter visited Yankee Stadium on Monday for a CPR training session to kick off HOPE Week.
As ESPN continues its series of big-name layoffs, another well-known basketball analyst is reportedly unlikely to return to the network: former eight-time All-Star Vince Carter.
Carter, who’s been with the network for three years following the conclusion of his 22-year playing career, reportedly “fits the bill” as the type of on-air talent ESPN has cut ties with in recent weeks, according to Michael McCarthy of Front Office Sports. Carter’s contract is set to expire in September.
Jalen Ramsey considers himself to be like Russell Westbrook on the hardwood. He said so himself.
Lotta energy, getting the rebounds, the triple-doubles, all of that. If I get a chance to get in an NBA game, they give me 30 minutes, I’m gonna be the worst teammate you ever had. I’m shooting every time! I’m getting my 10 for sure!
— Jalen Ramsey on his basketball skills
However, based on how he plays, Ramsey is more like Giannis Antentokounmpo. He dunks everything.
The 6-foot-1, 194-pound, six-time Pro Bowl defensive back was traded from Los Angeles to Miami in March.
The players who will be swinging for the fences in Seattle are being unveiled, including a hometown star. Here’s how they match up.
As one of the NBA’s most outspoken players, Kyrie Irving is no stranger to saying what’s on his mind. And, thanks to his newest contract, the Mavericks star again found himself going viral after The Ringer’s Bill Simmons trolled him over the deal.
The three-year, $126 million contract Irving inked to return to Dallas when free agency opened on Friday sparked several reactions, and perhaps none caught as much fire as a tweet shared by Simmons—one of the more vocal critics of Irving’s off-court drama in recent years.
