New York Giants' Jaxson Dart says Brian Burns opened his eyes to NFL speed
New York Giants' Jaxson Dart says Brian Burns opened his eyes to NFL speed New York Giants first-round pick Jaxson Dart is wasting no time in making his presence known to the local media and the fans. On Friday night, Dart and his fellow Giants rookies took in the Yankees-Boston Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium. He was invited on the air by the Yankees' broadcast team of Michael Kay, David Cone, and Paul O'Neill. Dart explained how he came to be a Yankees fan and even showed a picture of himself as a young boy attending a game in the Bronx in 2008. Dart said he had played baseball as a kid and was on a travel team. He believes he could have been a major league player had he not devoted himself to football. Kay asked him if his No. 2 jersey in college had anything to do with another famous No. 2, Yankees Hall of Fame shortstop, Derek Jeter. "There's some ties to that. Are some ties to that. It's kind of crazy. But yeah, that was my, you know, my favorite athlete growing up," he said. Dart went on to say that the notion of playing in New York did not intimidate him but he did notice that the NFL players are a lot quicker than he has been used to. "Oh, yeah, I had my first, you know, I don't think I've had, like, my full experience of kind of seeing that, but I've had a little experience with Brian Burns chasing me," he said. "He had a read option play and just, you know, his ability to come to come back and chase me down was kind of crazy." Dart, the 25th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft out of Ole Miss, is heading into Giants camp the No. 3 quarterback behind Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston but could end up under center in a game at some point this season. "I think that when you come into a situation like this, first of all, I'm in a super special position to be able to learn from guys like Russ (Wilson), Jameis (Winston), and Tommy (DeVito), guys who have competed at the highest level," Dart said. "Russ winning the Super Bowl, and, you know, to kind of pick their brains each and every day has been awesome for me, especially for how young I am. But I think that my focus right now is to try to develop each and every day and do whatever I can to make the team better, and I just want to win. I can't stand losing, and I'm gonna do whatever it takes, to not let that happen. So whatever my role is, I'm gonna play the best way that I can."

Florida State beats Oregon State 3-1, avoids elimination at Corvallis Regional
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Gage Harrelson hit the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning, Jamie Arnold gave up a run with nine strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings and No. 9 national seed Florida State beat Oregon State 3-1 on Saturday night to avoid elimination at the Tallahassee Regional. The teams play a decisive Game 3 on Sunday. Eighth-seeded Oregon State (46-14-1) beat the Seminoles 5-4 when AJ Singer hit a walk-off single in the 10th on Friday in Game 1 of the best-of-three series. Oregon State starter Ethan Kleinschmit (8-4) walked Drew Faurot to lead off the seventh and was replaced by Laif Palmer. Pinch-hitter James Hankerson Jr. reached on a fielder's choice and moved to second on a single by West before Harrelson gave Florida State its first lead at 2-1. Maison Martinez (1-2) replaced Arnold and struck out Avia Arquette to end the seventh, then walked Gavin Turley to lead off the eighth. Peyton Prescott came on and got Wilson Weber to strike out swinging and Trent Caraway to ground into a 4-6-3 double play to end the inning and struck out the side in a scoreless ninth for his third save of the season. Oregon State broke the program's single-season strikeouts record of 628 set in 2022 when Kleinschmit — who gave up two runs, one earned, with 11 strikeouts over six-plus innings — struck out Harrelson in the third. Beavers pitchers have 637 strikeouts this season. Arquette hit a single, stole second base and scored on a single by Weber to give the Beavers a 1-0 lead in the first inning. West reached on a error to lead off the third, Alex Lodise drew a two-out walk and Max Williams drove in West with a single through the left side to make it 1-1. Florida State (42-15) is playing in its second consecutive Super Regional and its 19th since the format was introduced in 1999, the most among any program. The Beavers are playing in their second consecutive super regional and their ninth in program history. ___ AP college sports:
