Amaree Williams was on track to be a high school senior in 2024 before reclassifying and signing with Florida State. But he still would have been a redshirt candidate, perhaps playing four games as an undersized defensive end.
A plan to have Williams line up at tight end played out well for his development. Williams played 148 snaps, grabbing five catches for 78 yards and two touchdowns. That on-field time has helped in his development and now the planned shift back to defensive end this spring.

LONDON (AP) — One low-ranked French tennis player was banned for life from the sport, and four others were given suspensions varying from two to 10 years, for match-fixing linked to a syndicate in Belgium, the International Tennis Integrity Agency said Friday.
More than 30 players have been punished for connections to Grigor Sargsyan, the syndicate leader who previously received a five-year custodial sentence in the case.
Yannick Thivant, 38, was handed a lifetime ban and fined $75,000 after admitting he fixed 22 matches — including 16 he played in — from 2017 to 2018.

The New York Football Giants will have a massive decision to make when they come to the podium with the No. 3 pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Do they take Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders to be the face of the franchise for the next decade plus or do they go with a dynamic weapon the likes we haven’t seen in some time with Travis Hunter?
It isn’t an easy call either way, but you can’t go wrong with either selection if both are available.

Following Thursday’s practice, GBK’s Joe Iacono had the opportunity to chat with three members of the Army Black Knights’ offensive unit.
You had Slotbacks Noah Short and Samari Howard along with Center, Brady Small. We started off with Howard, and now it’s Small’s turn.
The product of the Garden State leads the group of returning linemen as a two year starter at his position. Small came to West Point from St Augustine Prep in Mt Ephraim, New Jersey with a modest rating of 5.2 from Rivals.

The SEC Player of the Year is chasing history — for himself and Auburn — as the Tigers head into Final Four.

The first publicly known commit in the Colorado State football 2026 recruiting class is a quarterback who has put up prolific numbers.
Darnell Kelly announced his verbal commitment to the Rams on X Thursday, becoming the first recruit in the class to publicly announce he would join the Rams in the next signing class.
Kelly is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound quarterback from Fairburn, Georgia.
At Peachtree Ridge last season as a junior Kelly had 2,521 passing yards (67% completion percentage) with 28 passing touchdowns and just six interceptions.

All eyes will be on Colorado’s Pro Day with Shedeur Sanders throwing.
The 2025 NFL Draft is still a few weeks away.
But today could clarify how the first round unfolds.
Decision makers from around the NFL will descend upon Boulder, Colorado today for the Colorado NFL Showcase, which features two of the more fascinating prospects in this year’s NFL Draft class. One of those players is CB/WR Travis Hunter Jr., who comes off a Heisman Trophy season and is already viewed as a consensus Top-Five pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

It wasn’t easy, but someone had to do it.
On Friday, I woke up to a ton of tweets in response to me calling out my fellow New York Yankees fans who are making the rest of us look pathetic. 
Why’s that? Because for multiple games now, there have been “F*** Juan Soto” chants during Yanks games because some fans still can’t get over the fact that he left and moved on to the crosstown Mets. The worst part is that the Yankees weren’t even facing Soto or the Mets.

A concern when ESPN put the Pat McAfee Show on air live, was that words not previously suitable for daytime television broadcast would make air because they were often used to color points or segments on the popular show. But no one sharing those concerns could have predicted this week’s segment with Trey Hendrickson.

Stephanie Turner, a Senior Women’s Foilest in USA Fencing, protested against facing a transgender opponent by taking a knee last weekend. Turner, 31, was matched against Redmond Sullivan, a trans-identifying biological male, during The Cherry Blossom Open, hosted by USA Fencing.
Due to her actions, Turner was given a “black card,” the most severe penalty in fencing. That meant she was disqualified from the tournament, had to be escorted off the premises, and could face suspension from future events.
