Notre Dame football stays hot recruiting adding 2026 3-star safety Nick Reddish
The 5-foot, 11-inch and 185-pound North Carolina star picked the Irish over Wisconsin, Indiana and Virginia Tech. Notre Dame's 2026 recruiting class now is up to 26 verbals, and there isn't much room left to add any other prospects.
Reddish is the third safety in the class joining two elite others in Joey O'Brien and Ayden Pouncey. He's a bit smaller than his future teammates, as both of them have the size and frames to outgrow the position. As the No. 681 overall player in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports Composite.
He's set to join an absolutely loaded position group, as Adon Shuler is expected to be a starter, while Luke Talich, JaDon Blair, Ben Minich and others battle out for the opposite starting job. That's not including either of the two transfers in Devonta Smith and Jalen Stroman, as the Irish possess one of the deepest units in the country.
Reddish is a great addition to the room, as Notre Dame's class continues to impress.

Deep Reads: Chasing ghosts with Dale Earnhardt Jr.
In October 2023, Junior turned 49. That's the same age his dad was in 2001, when, before the last turn on the last lap of the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s car bumped into Sterling Marlin's, sending the iconic No. 3 careening into the wall at 160 mph. Reporter Kent Babb was studying journalism in college in 2002 when his grandmother called. 'They think he's gone,' she said, referring to Babb's father. His father's heart had become enlarged, and while he was painting a house one day, it just stopped. His dad was 51. Babb is 43 now, and since the day his dad died, there has been something unsettling to him about the idea of turning 51. This is common among people who've lost a parent young, or what is called an 'off-time' death. Psychologists suggest these feelings of anxiety and fear, alongside a gradually intensifying urge to learn about your bloodline, are like a final stage of grief. And it's one that most people, and in particular men, rarely talk about or explore. Babb wanted to talk about it, preferably with someone who understood. And though he never took to NASCAR, Babb knew he and Junior belonged to the same unfortunate club. Babb wondered if he thought about it, if he dreaded turning 49, how he was coping as he approached the age his daddy was. So, before his birthday in 2023, Babb asked if Earnhardt Jr. would be open to talking. He said yes. This story traces Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s relationship with his father and who he has become after his father's death. Kent Babb reported, wrote and narrated the piece. Bishop Sand composed music and produced audio for the piece. Subscribe to The Washington Post here.

Bill Belichick's Relationship With Jordon Hudson Raises Eyebrows — But a Surprising Ally Speaks Out
Bill Belichick's relationship with Jordon Hudson continues to be a hot-button issue in the media because of their 48-year age gap, but there are people in the football coach's inner circle who support their controversial romance. And now, they are speaking out. Belichick's career turn from his NFL career to NCAA's University of North Carolina (UNC) Tar Heels has thrust him back into the spotlight — and it's been a bumpy ride so far. But receiver Jordan Shipp threw support toward his coach's love life because he claimed to ESPN that Hudson is rarely around. More from SheKnows Bradley Cooper's Friends Are Reportedly Bracing for a Major Announcement With Gigi Hadid 'Social media can promote some narrative, but that was not a distraction to us at all,' he explained on July 24. 'There was never a problem, like people saying she was running practice. We'd never really see her in the building. That was never a problem.' Shipp also noted that the college team's former coach Mack Brown, had his wife, Sally, join them for breakfast almost every day. The 73-year-old Belichick chimed in, 'I don't think Jordon's had lunch with anybody.' Still, the 24-year-old beauty queen's presence has irked some of the UNC community, particularly the alumni donors and faculty members. In early July, the Daily Mail obtained emails via a public records request and found some of the angry correspondence. Faculty member Christopher McLaughlin, a professor of Public Law and Government, wrote an email to UNC Athletics Director Bubba Cunningham to complain about the unwanted attention Hudson was drawing to the revered football program. 'When you agreed to pay a king's ransom to hire Bill Belichick, did you also know that you [were] hiring Jordon Hudson to serve as the primary face of [UNC} athletics? Normally, I would say the University should not concern itself with its employees' personal lives,' McLaughlin wrote. 'But when a prominent employee injects his significant other into the University's affairs, it becomes the University's concern. The furor began in April when Hudson interrupted her boyfriend's CBS Sunday Morning interview with Tony Dokoupil. 'We're not talking about this,' she said from off-camera when the journalist inquired about their romantic timeline. While TMZ seemed to indicate it was a meet-cute story on a plane in February 2021, Hudson and Belichick don't want to talk about it anymore. For now, Belichick's players are on his side and support the romance even if outsiders continue to question Hudson's involvement in Belichick's personal and professional life. And it sounds like the romantic drama will continue into football of SheKnows Actors Who You Forgot Have Impressive Singing Careers Too All About Conor Kennedy, RFK Jr.'s Private Son Who Was Once Linked to Taylor Swift 16 Times the Celebrity Death Rule of Threes Actually Happened Solve the daily Crossword

Colorado football offers Wisconsin committed 2026 defensive lineman
Colorado football extended an offer to class of 2026 defensive lineman and Wisconsin commit Djidjou Bah on Friday. Bah committed to the Badgers on June 1 but seems to be open to a possible change of heart after visiting Missouri on June 20. The Buffaloes became the 25th program to offer the three-star lineman. 247Sports ranks Bah as the No. 92 defensive lineman in the class of 2026 and the No. 21 recruit from his home state of Tennessee. Colorado and head coach Deion Sanders have been after multiple committed prospects recently as the program tries to boost its 80th-ranked class. According to Bah's offer announcement, Colorado's defensive line coach, Domata Peko, is Bah's primary contact, which could go a long way towards a possible flip. Peko was one of the better defensive linemen during his era, and the idea of playing for him was a definite lure for recruits. Follow Charlie Strella on X, Threads and Instagram.
