CALEB BEY - Los Angeles
Bey was a Gold Ball winner at RCS Los Angeles. The Sacramento State commit did a nice job of catching the ball out of the backfield. His shiftiness created real mismatch problems for linebackers.

Despite being committed to the Hornets since March, the California native is still hearing from programs including UCLA.
ANDREW BEARD - Atlanta
Beard upped his stock after earning MVP honors at the Rivals Camp Series in Atlanta. He was exceptional catching the football out of the backfield and was routing up opposing linebackers, who struggled to keep pace with speed and quick cuts. The four-star prospect is a three-down playmaker and proved as much in the camp setting.
He's hearing from Georgia, Penn State and Georgia Tech most right now in his recruitment.
SEAN MORRIS - Los Angeles
Morris did a great job throughout the entire camp whether it was during position drills, running back/linebacker blocking drills when he showed off an excellent physical nature and then during one-on-ones when he got open and created space against linebackers.

Camps are not the easiest setting for running backs but Morris showed off all his tools. He displayed quick feet, physical toughness with his blocking and the ability to catch the ball coming out of the backfield.
Northwestern may have gotten a steal with him out of California.

VICTOR SANTINO - Los Angeles
Santino is a player that has been coming to Rivals Camp Series events since his freshman year. The 2026 running back is muscled up, looks great on the hoof and runs with determination and smoothness at the same time. It looks like he's gliding through the drills.

It's easy to see why Cal is thrilled to have landed his commitment in June.

LATHAN WHISENTON - Dallas
Whisenton was a force at the running back position. The first thing that comes to mind when remembering his performance was his run blocking ability in drills. But he also more than held his own catching passes out of the backfield.
Whisenton is built to run between the tackles and boasts speed to separate from defenders in coverage and soft hands on the receiving end. He's a 2027 back with the arrow pointing up early on. That's why Texas and Ole Miss are his two latest offers.

Aaron Rodgers says continuing to play football was ‘best for my soul' as he reveals he's now married
After months of speculation, Aaron Rodgers finally signed a deal to become the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback last week and set up another fascinating chapter in his Hall of Fame career. The 41-year-old inked a one-year, $13.6 million dollar contract with the Steelers in an attempt to bring Super Bowl success back to a franchise which has gone 16 years without a Vince Lombardi Trophy and 14 years since their last appearance in the season-ending game; coincidentally, it was Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers who beat the Steelers in their last Super Bowl appearance in 2011. On his first day of mandatory minicamp in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Rodgers said that despite being the oldest quarterback in the league, he's still playing because it's what he wants to do. 'For my ego, I don't need it to keep playing,' Rodgers told reporters. 'A lot of decisions that I've made over my career and life from strictly the ego – even if they turn out well – are always unfulfilling. 'But the decisions made from the soul are usually pretty fulfilling. So this was a decision that was best for my soul. I felt like being here with coach (Mike Tomlin) and the guys they got here and the opportunity here was best for me. I'm excited to be here.' Rodgers' signing saga divided many given the length of time it took – most notably, Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw said he didn't want the former Packers and New York Jets star anywhere near the team – but with the four-time NFL MVP at the helm, the Steelers look a formidable outfit. He is coming off two disappointing seasons with the Jets, including one which was lost to a torn Achilles tendon just four plays into his first year with the franchise. Although he failed to have the success his signing was meant to bring to Gang Green, Rodgers still showed glimpses of producing like a top-level quarterback last year. Now, he joins up with Tomlin and an offense led by wide receiver DK Metcalf, who joined in the offseason. Before Rodgers' signing, videos on social media showed the pair working out in California. Rodgers – who also revealed on Tuesday that he got married this offseason – was complimentary of Metcalf after his first day of practice with the team, but highlighted head coach Tomlin as the main reason he decided to join. 'I've gone against him over the years. The way that the conversations went between him and I, whenever it was in March or April and the last Sunday when I called him was some of the coolest conversations I had in the game,' he said. 'So he's a big reason of why I'm here and I'm excited to play for him.' While Steelers fans might be excited at the prospect of Rodgers playing in the Steel City, other members of the NFL are enthusiastic about it for a different reason. Myles Garrett – who plays for the Steelers' AFC North rivals, the Cleveland Browns – was asked about Rodgers' addition to the division on Tuesday and his answer was unequivocal. 'What do I think about it? I think it's a good opportunity to put him in the graveyard,' Garrett told reporters. Garrett, the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, is famous for his extravagant Halloween decorations. He has decorated the front yard of his house as a graveyard filled with tombstones adorned with the names of every quarterback he has sacked over his career. In 2021, Garrett wore a Grim Reaper-style costume with a cloak emblazoned with the names of the quarterbacks he'd sacked. Garrett's first opportunity to add Rodgers to that list comes in Week 6 as the Browns travel to Pittsburgh before Cleveland hosts the Steelers in Week 17.

Aaron Rodgers reveals he got married but Steeler QB's wife remains a mystery
Aaron Rodgers revealed on Tuesday that he recently got married — but the identity of his new wife remains a mystery. The four-time NFL MVP quarterback and Super Bowl champion said Tuesday after his first practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers that he got married "a couple months ago." Rodgers was spotted wearing a ring on his left ring finger in a photo the Steelers shared after the 41-year-old signed a one-year deal to join the team for the 2025 season. When asked if the ring was an indication he was married, Rodgers replied, "Yeah, it's a wedding ring." He wore the ring on Tuesday while participating in drills with his new team. Rodgers has revealed little about his bride. During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" in December, he mentioned he was dating a woman named Brittani, saying "she doesn't have social media," but offered no other details. In another appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" in April, Rodgers again confirmed he was "in a serious relationship," but it isn't clear whether Brittani is the woman Rodgers married during the 2025 offseason. His previous dating history includes long-term relationships with race car driver Danica Patrick and actors Olivia Munn and Shailene Woodley.

Pacers GM Reveals The True Reason Why He Traded For Tyrese Haliburton
Pacers GM Reveals The True Reason Why He Traded For Tyrese Haliburton originally appeared on Fadeaway World. The Indiana Pacers are just three wins away from their first-ever NBA championship, and Tyrese Haliburton is a big reason why. Haliburton has had a magical postseason, and Pacers GM Chad Buchanan spoke to The Athletic about their decision to acquire him from the Sacramento Kings in 2022. Advertisement 'Our team was kind of at a crossroads,' Buchanan said. 'We didn't really have a guy, like a young player, that you could really build around. Now, Domas (Sabonis) was a terrific player and a very productive player. But we felt like in today's modern NBA, it's hard to build around a center unless you've got, like, a (Denver Nuggets star Nikola) Jokic— an MVP-caliber center. "So we tried to target some young guards, playmaking guards around the league that we thought maybe fit the bill," Buchanan stated. "They're very hard to acquire, obviously. We felt like Tyrese, with the way Rick wanted to play, and how we want to build a team in the modern NBA — playing faster, playing a little more random. "Tyrese was one of the ideal targets to try to build that type of system around," Buchanan continued. "That's what coach Carlisle values, and has developed his philosophy (around) over the years, and where we're at today. It was just a great fit from that standpoint.' The Pacers traded Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday, Jeremy Lamb, and a 2023 second-round pick for Haliburton, Buddy Hield, and Tristan Thompson on Feb. 8, 2022. For the longest time, this was seen as a win-win trade as the big names shone for their new teams. Advertisement Sabonis would make the All-Star team in 2023 with the Kings and helped end a 16-year playoff drought that season. He also made the All-NBA Third Team in 2023 and 2024. For all the good work Sabonis has done, though, the Kings have now become the losers in this trade. They haven't made the playoffs since 2023 and are nowhere close to being good enough to compete for a title. It would be unfair to blame Sabonis for that, but Haliburton has shown the difference a special guard can make. As Buchanan pointed out, the Pacers weren't really going anywhere when Haliburton arrived. They had a woeful 19-37 record when he made his debut during the 2021-22 season, and you wondered when this franchise would turn things around. Success wouldn't come immediately for the Pacers with Haliburton either. They finished that 2021-22 campaign with a 25-57 record and then went 35-47 in the 2022-23 season. Haliburton did make the All-Star team for the first time in 2023, and he was ready to lead a revival the following year. Advertisement The Pacers went 47-35 in 2023-24 to finish as the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. They surprisingly made it all the way to the Conference Finals, but the run was viewed as a bit of a fluke. They had beaten the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks along the way, and both teams were dealing with injuries. The Pacers have now shown that their 2024 run was no fluke by going one better in 2025. They are up 1-0 against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA Finals after yet another incredible comeback that was capped off by another Haliburton game-winner. Haliburton has now established himself as one of the best clutch performers in recent NBA history. The 25-year-old has hit four go-ahead or game-tying shots in the final five seconds of regulation or overtime in this postseason. Haliburton, who is averaging 18.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 9.5 assists, 1.3 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game in these playoffs, would now have his eyes set on putting the Pacers in the driver's seat in this series. Game 2 is at Paycom Center on Sunday at 8 PM ET, and another win would put them in a commanding position.
