Clemson football 2026 target, 4-star DL Bryce Perry-Wright announces commitment

Yahoo20 hours ago
The Clemson Tigers and coach Dabo Swinney had long been considered the favorite to land elite four-star defensive lineman Bryce Perry-Wright in the 2026 recruiting cycle.
But on Saturday, Perry-Wright announced he was committing elsewhere. The 6-foot-2, 250-pound lineman is headed to College Station to play for Texas A&M after a late push by the Aggies this week.

Perry-Wright announced his decision in a live stream on 247Sports' YouTube channel. The Texas Longhorns and Miami Hurricanes were the other finalists for Perry-Wright.
It's a disappointing loss for Clemson on the recruiting trail after a hot stretch in June when the Tigers added five commitments: four-star defensive lineman Keshawn Stancil (Clayton, North Carolina), four-star EDGE Dre Quinn (Buford, Georgia), three-star defensive lineman JR Hardrick (South Pittsburg, Tennessee), and four-star offensive linemen Leo Delaney and Carter Scruggs.
Perry-Wright is the nation's No. 2 defensive lineman in 247Sports' player ratings for the 2026 class and is ranked as the No. 32 overall recruit. Rivals ranks him the No. 5 lineman and the No. 33 overall recruit.
Perry-Wright had received a crystal ball prediction to sign with Clemson in late March, but Rivals recruiting expert Steve Wiltfong logged a prediction on Wednesday that the Peach State native would flip to Texas A&M.

That win was his first in more than a calendar year and closed the gap from him to championship leader William Byron. The Grant Park 165 will be another challenge for the remaining 16 drivers in contention for the in-season challenge title. It's the only street course event of the season and the prior two runnings were impacted by rain. USA TODAY Sports will have coverage of the Grant Park 165 at the Chicago Street Course.

Lynx's Courtney Williams named to WNBA All-Star Reserve

Minnesota Lynx guard Courtney Williams has been named to the 2025 WNBA All-Star Reserve, the team announced on Sunday. This marks the first time Williams has been selected as an All-Star while with the Lynx, and the second time in her career. She is the 14th player in franchise history to play in an All-Star Game. Williams is joining teammate Napheesa Collier, who will serve as one of the league's captains for the All-Star Game. This is the tenth time multiple Lynx players have been selected to participate in the All-Star Game in the same season. Courtney Williams #10 and Napheesa Collier #24 of the Minnesota Lynx celebrate their win against the Golden State Valkyries at Target Center on July 5, 2025 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Ellen Schmidt / Getty Images Williams opened the season with 19 assists and zero turnovers across the Lynx's first two games against the Dallas Wings and Los Angeles Sparks, tying her for the highest assist total with zero turnovers over a two-game span in WNBA history, according to the Lynx. Williams also posted a season-high 25 points and a career-high five assists in the third quarter against the Wings during one of those games. The reserves were selected by the WNBA's 13 head coaches, who each voted for three guards, five frontcourt players and four players at either position, regardless of conference. The coaches were not able to vote for their own players. Captains Caitlin Clark and Collier will draft their teams for the All-Star Game on July 19. First, they'll choose from the eight other starters: Minnesota native Paige Bueckers, Breanna Stewart, A'ja Wilson, Nneka Ogwumike, Allisha Gray, Sabrina Ionescu, Satou Sabally and Aliyah Boston. The All-Star teams will be revealed on Tuesday. Some notable players left off the team were Washington's Brittney Sykes, Atlanta's Brionna Jones, New York's Natasha Cloud and Los Angeles' Dearica Hamby. Connecticut was the only team without an All-Star selection.

Yankees' Aaron Judge left bleeding after getting hit in face by teammate Anthony Volpe's throw

Yankees star Aaron Judge was struck in the face by a toss from teammate Anthony Volpe as they were coming off the field after the fifth inning of Saturday's 12-6 loss to the New York Mets. Judge came to bat in the sixth with a small bandage that was still affixed near his right eye after the game. He had a mark right around the eye but said he was fine. Mark Vientos lined out to Yankees second baseman Oswald Peraza to end the fifth at Citi Field, and New York players began tossing the ball around as they trotted toward the dugout as many major league teams do at the conclusion of an inning. The ball went to Volpe, and the shortstop made a high, arcing throw in Judge's direction as the slugger jogged in from right field. Judge, however, appeared to be looking the other way as he approached the infield and the ball hit him on the side of the face, knocking off his sunglasses. "Yeah, I mean, confusion. I didn't know what happened initially. I just saw kind of a, what felt like something happened," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "So yeah, of course I was concerned. Had a little cut. In the end I don't think anything too serious, obviously. But yeah, initially, obviously very concerned." The sloppy Yankees were handed their sixth consecutive defeat, matching a season worst. "It's been a terrible week," Boone said. New York also dropped six straight from June 13-18, marking the first time since 2000 the club has endured two six-game losing streaks in one year. "Just got to play better. That's what it comes down to. Just fundamentals. Making the routine play routine," said Judge, the Yankees' captain. "It's just the little things. That's what it kind of comes down to — but every good team goes through a couple bumps in the road. "We'll clean some things up. We know what we need to do. We'll take care of business."
