Texas WR Ryan Wingo undergoes LASIK surgery ahead of spring football
Freshman wide receiver Ryan Wingo was expected to make an impact for the Texas Longhorns in his first season, but few could have predicted the extent of his contributions. Even more surprising, he accomplished it despite what has been described as 'very poor vision' on the field.
According to Orangebloods.com reporter Anwar Richardson, Wingo underwent LASIK surgery during the offseason after Texas staff discovered he was struggling with significant vision issues.
'According to my sources, Texas WR Ryan Wingo recently had LASIK surgery after the staff discovered he was struggling with very poor vision after struggling in workouts,' Richardson shared on X. 'Apparently, he dealt with it last season. However, he'll clearly see those dimes from Arch Manning this season.'
Wingo, a five-star recruit and one of the Longhorns' top offensive weapons, made his collegiate debut in Texas' season opener against Colorado State. He led the team with 70 receiving yards on four catches, including a 30-yard reception. His impact continued throughout the season, highlighted by a career-high 127-yard performance against UTSA, which included a 75-yard touchdown grab from quarterback Arch Manning.

The St. Louis native also played a key role in Texas' transition to SEC competition, contributing in matchups against Mississippi State, Oklahoma, and Georgia. He finished the regular season with 16 games played, tallying multiple receptions in the College Football Playoff matchups against Clemson, Arizona State, and Georgia.

Commanders Media Bizarre Criticism of Cowboys Offseason
Commanders Media Bizarre Criticism of Cowboys Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Look, there's plenty of ammunition for critics of the Dallas Cowboys. In case we haven't forgotten, they last played in a Super Bowl almost 30 years ago.. Advertisement And although it's always fun to poke Jerry Jones and one of the Washington Commanders' biggest NFC East rivals, there's some real stretching going on this offseason. By stealing from Dallas - hello, Dan Quinn - the Commanders leap-frogged the Cowboys last season on their way to the NFC Championship Game. Washington should be targeting the Philadelphia Eagles above them, not the Cowboys below them. Nonetheless, a new story on Friday is taking shots at Dallas for what most analysts believe was a good, productive offseason. The Cowboys filled the void of future Hall of Famer Zack Martin by drafting offensive lineman Tyler Booker 12th overall. They also pulled a bold trade, acquiring talented-but-temperamental receiver George Pickens from the Pittsburgh Steelers. But reads the story, "the Cowboys' failure to address one of their most pressing needs could end up being their downfall." Advertisement The writer targets Dallas' running backs. That's fair, given the departures of Ezekiel Elliott and leading rusher Rico Dowdle. But criticizing Jones for a "failure to address" the position is questionable. The Cowboys signed veterans Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, and then drafted Texas' Jaydon Blue in the fifth round. "So, let's get this straight," the story reads. "The Cowboys thought it would be a good idea to sign a career 4.0 YPC running back (Williams) and a guy who has hardly played over the last two seasons while watching his starting job get snatched in Carolina (Sanders). Those two are sure to lead Dallas to the promised land. But, just in case they don't, have no fear! The Cowboys' fifth-round running back is here to play rescue. "That's not a knock on Blue by any means. But, if the Cowboys are banking on a fifth-round rookie saving this franchise's running back room, they've got another thing coming." How nonsensical is this angle? The writer then concedes "could Blue end up being great? He absolutely could." Advertisement So on one hand you blast the Cowboys for not addressing the running back position, then turn around and admit they could've drafted a "great" running back in the fifth round. The Cowboys dominated the Commanders while winning 12 games and making three consecutive playoff appearances. Quinn and Jayden Daniels changed that in one season. Going out of your way to pick on Dallas at this point is just a bad look.

Aaron Civale gets a little wild in White Sox debut after trade from Brewers
ARLINGTON, Texas — Aaron Civale got a little wild in the right-hander's first start for the Chicago White Sox two days after he was traded by the Milwaukee Brewers. Civale walked four of the first seven hitters he faced in a 2-1 loss to the Texas Rangers on Sunday. The 30-year-old finished with four walks, one off his career high, while allowing six hits and two runs in five innings. He threw 65 strikes and 39 balls. Chicago trailed 2-1 when he was replaced by Dan Altavilla to start the sixth. 'Not the cleanest,' Civale said. 'It's been a whirlwind of a week. First couple of innings, just getting back out there and settling in and getting used to the new team, new catcher and all of the above.' The White Sox acquired Civale a day after he said he wanted to remain a starter — for the Brewers or another team — following his demotion to the Milwaukee bullpen. The Brewers made the move to clear the way for hard-throwing prospect Jacob Misiorowski to join the rotation. Civale (1-3) pitched a scoreless first inning despite three walks, thanks in part to Wyatt Langford's double-play grounder. The fourth walk ended up costing Civale when Adolis García scored on the first Texas hit — a two-out double from Ezequiel Duran in the second inning. The Rangers made it 2-0 on Marcus Semien's sacrifice fly in the fifth, when Civale allowed three hits but struck out Jake Burger to end the inning with runners at second and third. 'Credit to him for grinding through that and getting through five innings,' said manager Will Venable, who was ejected after a couple of close calls didn't go Civale's way in the first inning. 'Not his sharpest day, but with these veteran guys that have experience, they're able to navigate tough situations.' All 123 of Civale's regular-season appearances in the major leagues have been starts. This is the third consecutive year he has been part of a midseason trade. Milwaukee got him from Tampa Bay last year. The Rays acquired him from Cleveland in 2023. 'It never gets easier,' Civale said. 'There's comfort in experience that you have, but every time it's new and it's a different challenge in itself. You're trying to make that adjustment as quick as you can. Was out there trying to compete and I wasn't filling up the zone like I would have liked to.' Milwaukee sent Civale, who is eligible for free agency after this season, to the White Sox for first baseman Andrew Vaughn and $807,000 in cash. Civale said he had no issues with anybody in the Brewers clubhouse, or the coaches there. He just wanted to remain a starter, like he had also been for all 86 of his minor-league appearances. The outing against Texas lowered Civale's ERA to 4.67 this season, when he is making $8 million. He has allowed nine runs over 24 innings in five starts since a stint on injured list with a strained left hamstring. Civale threw just six of his first 19 pitches for strikes, and it was during that stretch that home plate umpire Marvin Hudson, the crew chief, gestured into the Chicago dugout. Moments later, he ejected Venable. The second career ejection for Venable, a first-year manager, came on Father's Day. The first was on Mother's Day. Venable was a bit wide-eyed when that was pointed out to him. 'I was unaware of that,' Venable said. 'But that is an interesting coincidence.' ___ AP MLB:
