The Clemson Tigers enter the ninth weekend of the 2025 college baseball season as one of the hottest teams in the nation. They face the Stanford Cardinal for a three-game series beginning today at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
At 31-5 overall and 9-3 in ACC play, the Tigers come into the weekend ranked No. 3 in the nation by Perfect Game and No. 5 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll. Baseball America now projects Clemson as a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
After sweeping California in Berkeley last Sunday and holding the Golden Bears to 10 runs in the series, the Tigers earned a 4-2 victory over Gardner-Webb in midweek play on Tuesday. Catcher Jacob Jarrell hit a pair of solo home runs and now leads the team with seven for the year.
Second baseman Jarren Purify had led the Tigers in hitting all season and carries a .333 average into this weekend's series. Purify has reached base at a .467 clip and stolen 15 bases in 18 attempts while collecting 13 extra base hits and 23 RBIs.
Cam Cannarella isn't far behind him with a .319/.484/.429 slash line and 10 extra base hits to go with 24 RBIs. Two transfers lead Erik Bakich's club in RBIs: third baseman Josh Paino (.274/.365/.452) with 36 and outfielder Dominic Listi (.308/.524/.449) with 33. Clemson's .278 batting average as a team ranks 10th in the ACC.
For the most part, sophomore right-hander Aiden Knaak has impressed as the Tigers' Friday night starter. Against Cal last week, Knaak pitched into the eighth inning and was charged four runs after giving up five hits in 7 1/3 innings. He struck out four and walked one. For the season, Knaak is 5-0 with a 4.30 ERA and 61 strikeouts to 13 walks in 44 innings.
Clemson's 4.37 ERA as a pitching staff ranks fourth in the ACC behind North Carolina (3.44), Wake Forest (4.13) and Georgia Tech (3.16).
Stanford enters the weekend at 18-12 overall and 5-10 in the ACC. Led by senior Temo Becerra (.371/.415/.467) and freshman outfielder Tatum Marsh (.371/.477/.552), the Cardinal are batting .307, good for fifth in the ACC. Stanford's 6.14 ERA as a staff ranks third to last in the league.

Chiefs DL coach Joe Cullen is impressed by rookie linemen: 'They have great motors'
During his press conference on Wednesday, Kansas City Chiefs defensive line coach Joe Cullen praised the work of two rookie defensive linemen so far at OTAs. "Well, the two are really good. I mean, when you study the draft and our scouting staff, led by our general manager, Brett Veach," said Cullen, "they do a great job, and they were guys that we identified and had opportunities to really get around and bring them in for a visit, Zoom with them. They both love football, and they're both football junkies, and they're really good players." Advertisement The Chiefs added the two defensive standouts, selecting Tennessee's Omarr Norman-Lott in the second round with the 63rd pick and Louisville's Ashton Gillotte in the third round with the 66th pick. "Well, they have great motors; they're powerful, explosive, and sudden. And both of them at their school, where they're represented, great in their role," said Cullen, "When you look at Omarr (Norman-Lott), when you broke down his snaps this past year, he led the NCAA and pass rush win ratio by interior tackles. And then Ashton (Gillotte) played all over the place. He played end and inside. '4i' was powerful. He was explosive when he went back to his junior year. Before his sophomore year, he had 11 and a half sacks. He was playing more on the edge. This year, they moved them inside a little bit. It's a '4i' kind of like Felix (Anudike-Uzomah) did when he was at K-State. So both those guys are going to bring great energy to the room, and they're doing that now." During his last season at Louisville, Gillotte earned Second-team All-ACC honors. He led the Cardinals with 10 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks and started 12 games with 43 total tackles. Norman-Lott recorded 44 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 9.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery in his two seasons at Tennessee.

Bill Belichick Breaks Silence on NIL Chaos
Bill Belichick Breaks Silence on NIL Chaos originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When a six-time Super Bowl champion like Bill Belichick speaks, the sports world listens and this time, it's not about the NFL, but the chaos surrounding college football's NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) era. Advertisement Belichick, who stunned fans by returning to the college sidelines this spring as head coach of North Carolina, didn't mince words when asked about the state of NIL during the ACC Spring Meetings. With the highly anticipated House v. NCAA settlement still pending after nearly a month on U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken's desk, the legendary coach made his stance clear. 'For me, it's really pretty simple: I'd say, tell me what the rules are and then we'll play by them,' Belichick told ESPN's Rece Davis on the College GameDay Podcast. 'Right now a lot of it is up in the air.' Belichick, now 73 and in his first college role since the 1970s, is entering this new chapter amidst massive uncertainty. More than 2,000 athletes entered the football transfer portal in 2024 alone, and the current NIL landscape is largely unregulated which is fueling concerns among coaches and administrators across the country. If approved, the House settlement is expected to reshape enforcement through a newly formed College Sports Commission. Power Four conferences have already drafted new membership contracts that would bind schools to future decisions by this independent body in an attempt to stabilize the current free-for-all. UNC head coach Bill BelichickBob Donnan-Imagn Images 'Whatever it is… we'll figure it out,' Belichick added. 'But I'd say right now it's a lot of 'we're not sure.'… I think things will settle eventually.' Advertisement His comments echo sentiments from fellow ACC coach Dabo Swinney, who simply stated, 'We just want some rules.' The anticipation for clarity is palpable. With the NCAA expected to relinquish enforcement power to this new commission, coaches like Belichick are asking for one thing: a clear rulebook. Belichick isn't just adjusting to college football, he's calling for its transformation. And until there's structure, even the greatest minds in football are left waiting.

At 47 years old, Gabrielle Rose finishes 7th in 100-meter breaststroke finals at U.S. Nationals
Gabrielle Rose might be 47 years old, but she's still one of the best breaststroke swimmers in the country. Nearly three decades after qualifying for her first Olympics, Rose finished seventh in the finals of the 100-meter breaststroke at the U.S. Swimming National Championships on Friday, falling short of qualifying for the world championships but still defying her age. Advertisement Rose posted a time of 1:08.54, close to her personal best of 1:08.32 and roughly three seconds behind champion Kate Douglass. Three-time Olympic gold medallist Lilly King, who plans to retire after this season, finished second. The one swimmer Rose finished ahead of in the final was the youngest person in the pool, Elle Scott. She was born in 2007. To make the final, Rose had to make the top 8 of a field of 60 swimmers, with every competitor at least 19 years younger than her. Every single one of those 59 other swimmers was born after Rose made her first Olympics in 1996, when she competed in the 100-meter butterfly, 200-meter individual medley and 100-meter freestyle for Team Brazil. Advertisement The Rio de Janeiro native and Stanford graduate switched to representing the U.S. in 1999. After Rose, the oldest swimmer was King at 28 years old. Per SwimSwam, Rose was the oldest swimmer to ever qualify for a championship final at a U.S. Olympic or Worlds Trial meet. Following her two Olympic berths in 1996 and 2000, Rose retired from competitive swimming in 2004 at age 26 after being struck with mononucleosis shortly before the Olympic trials. Per World Aquatics, her passion for the sport was reignited when she focused on fulfilling her late father's wish of preserving an Olympic-sized pool in her hometown. Advertisement Rose made a surprise return to elite competition in 2022 and reached the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials, where she reached the semifinals 100-meter and 200-meter breaststroke. Despite being in her mid-40s, she managed to make it a step further one year later. She also competed in the 50-meter breaststroke, placing 15th, and the 200-meter breaststroke, placing 19th.
