New Mexico has agreed to a five-year deal to make UC San Diego’s Eric Olen the school’s next head coach, sources told ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly one of a few teams hosting Kansas “sleeper” offensive lineman Bryce Cabeldue on an official 30 visit, according to Tony Pauline.
Each draft cycle, every team is able to have up to 30 prospects in for visits at the team facility. It’s an opportunity for teams to do medical checks if needed, walk through film, and get to know the player.
In describing Cabeldue, Pauline would note his athleticism, versatility, and being a “nasty power gap blocker.”
Cabeldue measures in at just under 6-5 and weighs 306 pounds.

Manchester City star Erling Haaland had an up-and-down day, and it finished prematurely in an up-and-down way with an injury at the Vitality Stadium.
Haaland scored City’s second-half equalizer, but that came after the Norwegian had a penalty saved and missed two other chances to open the scoring for the Premier League champions.

He then suffered a painful looking injury when chasing a loose ball. Haaland beat Bournemouth’s James Cook to it but then felt the falling Cook’s weight crash down on the back of his heel.

NEW YORK (AP) — Brewers pitcher Nestor Cortes had a return to Yankee Stadium to forget on Saturday.
A day later, Cortes reflected on allowing five of the Yankees’ team-record nine homers and lasting two-plus innings in a 20-9 loss.
“It’s not a good feeling,” Cortes said. “So obviously didn’t go the way I planned.”
Cortes left the ballpark after the game without speaking to reporters in what the Brewers said was a miscommunication. He was at his locker about two hours before Sunday’s series finale.
NEW YORK (AP) — New torpedo bats drew attention when the New York Yankees hit a team-record nine homers that traveled a combined 3,695 feet on Saturday.
Using a strikingly different model in which wood is moved lower down the barrel after the label and shapes the end a little like a bowling pin, Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, Austin Wells, Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr. homered in New York’s 20-9 rout of the Milwaukee Brewers.
“That’s just trying to be the best we can be,” manager Aaron Boone said Sunday. “That’s one of the things that’s gotten pointed out.
