DeCorte played at Jackson High School, where he helped the football program to its third-ever playoff victory. According to DeCorte's biography on the CMU athletics website, the lineman was recruited by Michigan State out of high school before he decided to attend CMU.

Stats – Breaking down Barcelona debutant's performance against Vissel Kobe
Barcelona's summer signing, Roony Bardghji, announced himself in style during his debut against Vissel Kobe, scoring a well-taken goal in a 3-1 victory. The 19-year-old winger, brought in with plenty of expectation, played just 45 minutes but was one of the standout performers in what was a convincing display by the Catalans. Bardghji had 30 touches during his time on the pitch and completed 16 out of 19 passes, recording an impressive 84% accuracy. He managed three shots on goal, created one clear chance, and completed both of his dribble attempts, making him the most successful dribbler of the match. He also played two passes into the final third, made one clearance, recovered the ball once, and won two of his three ground duels. Influential against Vissel Kobe From the moment he stepped onto the field, the youngster looked confident and involved. Roony Bardghji made quite an impact. (Photo by) He had two early chances to get on the scoresheet, first with a powerful strike from outside the area that was blocked by a defender, and then with a close-range attempt following a smart pass from Marcus Rashford, but the finish narrowly missed. Still, Bardghji showed hunger and maturity by not letting the missed opportunities affect his rhythm. His goal, when it finally came, was the result of an intelligent and composed move. Rashford played a perfectly weighted ball behind the defence for Robert Lewandowski, who used his experience to square the ball to Bardghji at the edge of the box. With remarkable composure for someone his age, the Swedish winger calmly slotted the ball into the bottom-right corner. Beyond the goal, Bardghji's energy, vision, and confidence on the ball gave Barcelona fans a glimpse of what he could offer this season. For a 19-year-old making his first appearance, it was a performance full of promise, and if this is just the beginning, Bardghji may prove to be one of the club's smartest acquisitions in recent years.

Liverpool have signed a new winger
Liverpool have already signed a new winger this summer and no one has noticed. Luis Diaz is set to depart the Reds as he jets off to Germany from Japan to undergo a medical at Bayern Munich. With his departure there have been a lot of calls for Liverpool to sign a replacement for the Colombian. LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now The Reds are working on a deal to bring in another attacker but it's not a winger - it's Alexander Isak. He's a number nine and this is an area where Liverpool are short of options. In contrast on the wings, Liverpool may already have enough ammunition - even if Federico Chiesa is set to depart as well. Arne Slot has Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and the brilliant Rio Ngumoha to choose from. Although they are not the only options. New signings, Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz can also play on the wings. And the Reds have also signed a winger, who not many people have noticed is actually a winger. At least that is where new signing Jeremie Frimpong has played for the most of pre-season. He came on and played as a right-winger against Preston and did the same against AC Milan as well. Frimpong's speed and the fact that he played really advanced in Bayer Leverkusen's system means he's very well suited to play that forward role. Against Milan, he showcased his qualities, too. His speedy runs caused a lot of problems to AC Milan's defence and it went under the radar a little bit, just how good Frimpong was in that game. The Liverpool man won the most duels (7) in the match and his constant threat could have easily resulted in the game being more even.

Leverkusen star pushes for Wolves move
Having already said goodbye to several key players this summer, Bayer Leverkusen could be set for another departure. According to Bild, Amine Adli has asked the club's management for permission to enter talks with Wolverhampton Wanderers after receiving an offer from the Premier League side. Wolves have reportedly contacted Leverkusen as well, with negotiations currently underway. However, the two clubs remain far apart in their valuation. Die Werkself are said to be demanding around €30 million including bonuses for the 25-year-old attacking midfielder. West Ham United are also believed to be interested in Adli, who joined Leverkusen from Toulouse in 2021 for a reported €7.5 million. The Moroccan international signed a contract extension in November, committing himself to Leverkusen until 2028.
