Oregon’s Bo Nix and Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. have been considered in the next tier after Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, and J.J. McCarthy. Don’t end the group there.

Long before Gregg Doyel developed what seems like a cringe crush on Caitlin Clark, he became a great sports columnist at the Charlotte Observer in the 1990s, later at CBSSports.com and, since 2014, at the Indianapolis Star.
Doyel, who is in his mid-50s and a father of two sons, won the Associated Press Sports Editors No. 1 columnist in the nation in 2014, ‘17, ’19 and ’22. He has won 16 top 10 awards from APSE – the Oscars of sports writing – since 2007 with eight of those for columns.

There are plenty of ways to get hurt playing baseball but you’d think there would be virtually no chance anyone would be unlucky enough to get injured by having a home run ball plunk them while they’re in the bullpen.
