Notre Dame stays hot on the recruiting trail, as 4-star 2026 TE Ian Premer commits
Notre Dame football's recruiting hot streak is not slowing down anytime soon, and on Thursday afternoon they added yet another talented prospect to its 2026 recruiting class.
The Irish were viewed as a contender for Kansas tight end Ian Premer, but it looked like it would be tough to pull him away from his home state, but that's exactly what happened. Notre Dame beat out Kansas State, Kansas and Iowa State for the 6-foot, 5-inch and 220-pound tight end.
It's a big verbal for the Irish, as Premer is ranked as the No. 44 prospect in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite. He becomes the second player at the position for Notre Dame, joining Preston Fryzel, who committed just a few days ago.
The class is now up to twenty-two commits, with room for just a few more as Notre Dame tries to shore up a class that is viewed by many as one of the top collections of talent in the 2026 cycle.

I'm a marathoner and this 10-minute kettlebell workout is perfect for adding onto the end of runs
As a keen runner who finds it hard to fit in as much supportive strength training as I should be doing, I find short workouts you can do at the end of a run one of the most convenient options. That's because I'm already in my sports kit and feel motivated to move after enjoying my run, so doing 10 to 20 minutes more training before I shower doesn't feel like a burden. This strength workout for runners only takes 10 minutes and all you need to do it is one of the best kettlebells. It can also be done anywhere you have 10-15 meters of space to move, so doing it outdoors after your run is probably your best option. The workout routine has been put together by Stephen Scullion, an Irish elite runner who competed in the marathon at the Tokyo Olympics. Scullion is using a 17.5lb kettlebell for the workout, but use whatever weight is appropriate for you. I actually used a dumbbell for the session myself and it was fine, though a little unwieldy for the kettlebell swings in the workout. The workout involves doing a series of lower-body focused moves like walking lunges and kettlebell swings, often broken up by plyometric exercises like single-leg hops, which are a great addition to any running-specific routine. There isn't a particular strict structure to the session, so make sure you can see and hear Scullion as he demonstrates the moves and provides pointers on how best to do them. Take breaks as you need to — I just paused the video when I needed a breather so I didn't fall behind. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. I did the workout after an easy run, here are my main takeaways. You need a runway of 10-15m to do some of the moves in the workout like calf walks and walking lunges, which is why it's a great session to do outside at the end of your run. If you don't have a good spot to do it outdoors after your run, then you can do it inside but might have to turn around more often to complete the walking moves. I loved the amount of plyometric moves you do in the workout, which include broad jumps and squat jumps as well as single-leg hops. I always like to include jumping moves in my workouts and I find that doing them after a run when my legs are warmed up is better than going into them a bit cold during standalone strength sessions. Plyometric exercises are fantastic for developing the strength and power that will benefit you during runs, so make sure to follow Scullion's instructions for them regarding jumping as high as possible and trying to be as light on your feet as you can in between jumps. The two main reasons I sometimes skip strength workouts during a hard week of running is that I can't find the time and don't want to work too hard on exercise that isn't running. I also dislike running when I have DOMS from strength sessions. This workout is well-judged in that it doesn't take too long and doesn't wreck your legs, but still will have a beneficial effect in improving your lower-body strength and power. While it is a benefit of this workout that it isn't too demanding, if you're getting serious with your strength training for running then you will probably want to also have some heavier weights sessions on your plan. Classic compound lifts like squats and deadlifts are great for runners, and using heavy weights with those moves is needed to stimulate the growth that will benefit you on the run. Doing this workout a couple of times a week alongside a session with heavier weights would work well. Many workouts for runners are just great core and leg sessions anyone can benefit from, but I'd say this routine is so focused on runners it's not one I'd add to my training plan if I wasn't into the sport. The moves will make you stronger for other sports that involve running, of course, and it's no bad thing to improve your running strength and form in general, but there are probably sessions you could prioritize instead to get more general benefits, like this 10-minute full-body kettlebell workout.

Rose Lavelle Returns From Injury To The USWNT and Scores In Win Over Ireland
Rose Lavelle scored in her first national team match of the year after ankle surgery and the United States defeated Ireland 4-0 on Thursday night. Avery Patterson, Sam Coffey and Alyssa Thompson also scored for the United States. Lavelle last played for the national team in December against the Netherlands. Patterson, making her third start for the national team, scored on a header off a short corner from Lavelle in the 18th minute. It was her first international goal. "It's surreal. I think at halftime someone asked me what was going through my head, and I don't think I fully came down and realized what had happened until two water breaks afterward," Patterson laughed. "I need to watch it again because I kind of blacked out." Coffey added a goal before halftime, with a shot that cut across to the far post. It was her third national team goal and second in the last three games. Lavelle made it 3-0 in the 53rd, scoring handily off a well-placed pass from Ally Sentnor. Thompson ran the ball from the center line, danced around a defender and finished with a blast from atop the box in the 63rd. "I felt that pressure was coming so I took a touch around her, I've been in that situation a lot of times in this game, and I was like `I need to score this one,'" Thompson said. "So I did my usual move and then hit it to the far side." Coach Emma Hayes gave her Europe-based players — including Lindsey Heaps, Catarina Macario, Crystal Dunn and Emily Fox — time off after their seasons. The exception was defender Naomi Girma, who is working her way back from a calf injury. Goalkeeper Claudia Dickey, who plays for the Seattle Reign, and Lilly Reale, a defender for Gotham, started for the United States in their national team debuts. The youngest player on the squad, 18-year-old Jordyn Bugg, made her debut as a second-half substitute. Six of the 11 starters had less than 10 appearances with the national team. Lavelle, with 111 appearances on the team, was one of the veterans in the lineup, along with defender Emily Sonnett. The United States has faced Ireland 16 times and never dropped a match. The Irish have scored just one goal against the United States. The United States plays Ireland again on Sunday in Cincinnati, Lavelle's hometown. The team plays Canada on July 2 in Washington, D.C.
