2026 four-star running back Ezavier Crowell updates commitment date
2026 four-star running back Ezavier Crowell updates commitment date Could the talented 2026 RB announce his commitment earlier than expected?
2026 four-star running back Ezavier Crowell could be changing his commitment date.
He posted on his X account (formerly Twitter) that he would no longer commit on Dec. 31. This could be an indication that he will be moving up his commitment. In early March, he had Auburn listed in his top six schools that also included Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State, Georgia, and Texas. He has visits scheduled for these schools during the summer, with Auburn being on June 13 per 247Sports.
He is currently ranked the No. 4 running back of the 2026 class per 247Sports. They also have him ranked as the No. 7 player in Alabama. His teammate and quarterback, Landon Duckworth, is scheduled to visit Auburn on May 16. Perhaps if Duckworth is impressed with the Tigers, that could lead to Crowell heading to the plains. Duckworth is a four-star prospect for the class of 2026 and is rated as the No. 6 quarterback in the country.
The combination led Jackson High School to a state championship in 2024. Jackson defeated Cherokee County in dominating fashion, 69-,6 in the AHSAA 4A State Championship. Crowell rushed for 140 yards and three touchdowns in the game. On the season, he rushed for 1,964 yards and 31 touchdowns. In 2023, he rushed for 1,737 yards and 25 touchdowns.
Auburn currently has seven players committed to the 2026 class, and is ranked No. 23 by 247Sports. Auburn landed one of the best running backs for the 2025 class with the commitment of Alvin Henderson. Crowell and Henderson could develop into one of the best duos in college football if Crowell commits to the Tigers.

Myrtle Beach city manager backs Horry County's $8.25M offer to end joint Pelicans Ballpark lease
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — A key Tuesday vote that would give Myrtle Beach total ownership of Pelicans Ballpark is supported by the city's top administrator amid an $8.25 million offer by Horry County in exchange for ending its part of a stadium lease agreement. The facility, which is in need of $20 million in improvements to come into compliance with Major League Baseball standards, is currently 70% owned by the city and 30% by the county. City leaders last month agreed to take on full responsibility and accept $6 million in county to aid to pay down those costs. Since that time, the county has agreed to an even higher, one-time payment with Myrtle Beach being on the hook for all maintenance costs beyond that. The council will also take a final vote on an ordinance with a new 30-year lease agreement between Myrtle Beach and the Pelicans. The lease payment would be $750,000 for the first 10 years, $850,000 for the next 10 years, and $950,000 for the final 10 years. The team's future on the Grand Strand fell in limbo after Horry County leaders approved a different lease agreement than the city previously approved earlier this month. The city expressed disappointment in the county afterward. Pelicans team president Ryan Moore urged fans to attend the meeting — and for councilmembers to approve the deals. 'Tomorrow is do or die for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. A 'Yes' vote keeps the team in town for the next 30 years. A 'No' vote would mean the end for the Pelicans,' he wrote in a post shared on the team's official Facebook page. 'We've cried tears of joy together. We've cried tears of grief together. We've fought through adversity together. And through it all, we have stayed together and are better off for it. All because of the special place we call Pelicans Ballpark.' The city council meeting begins at 10 a.m. * * * Adam Benson joined the News13 digital team in January 2024.

UNC baseball gets Luke Stevenson replacement with transfer portal commitment
UNC baseball gets Luke Stevenson replacement with transfer portal commitment Can UNC's first baseball transfer portal commitment make an immediate impact in 2026? Georgia State transfer catcher Colin Hynek has committed to North Carolina. In 2025, he hit .230 with 18 HRs and 45 RBIs, leading the team in homers and ranking fourth in RBIs and total bases. He had a .586 SLG, .396 OBP, and 36 walks. — Chris Smith (@chrismithunc) June 7, 2025 The UNC baseball team is extremely lucky to have Luke Stevenson behind the dish, but his time in Chapel Hill is likely coming to an end after the current season. Stevenson, mocked to be a first-round pick in July's MLB Draft, is a do-it-all catcher. Stevenson is the Diamond Heels' top power source, mashing 19 home runs, while he's also a defensive stalwart with only two errors. With Stevenson likely gone in 2026, North Carolina needs an answer at catcher. UNC also carries Liberty transfer Macaddin Dye behind the plate, plus Juco transfer Rom Kellis, but wants to add another option. The Diamond Heels are hoping that their latest roster addition is their answer behind the dish. On Saturday, North Carolina secured a commitment from Georgia State transfer Colin Hynek, who started 105 of the 132 games he played in Atlanta. Like Stevenson, Hynek is also a power threat at the plate, mashing 33 home runs and driving in 91 runs across thre seasons. By coming to Chapel Hill, Hynek will have a significantly better shot at competing for a championship. Georgia State just completed a 26-30 campaign and hasn't made the NCAA Tournament since 2009, while UNC is playing in the Super Regional round for a second-consecutive season. If you're following recent transactions across college baseball, there's plenty of transfers already in the portal, particularly from the Virginia Cavaliers. The Diamond Heels will benefit from adding more starting pitching to their 2026 roster, while more hitting power couldn't hurt.
