"I'd describe my game as a pass-first guard who can create when needed and score the ball too," Herro said to On3. "I take pride in being a two-way player, someone who can impact both ends of the floor and bring energy every time I step on the court."

Herro is joining four-star power forward A'mare Bynum as the second freshman joining Ohio State's roster this year as four-star shooting guard Dorian Jones will not be enrolling with Ohio State for the upcoming season.
Deciding to go with Ohio State puts him on a different path than his older brother. Tyler played for one season with the Kentucky Wildcats before he was drafted by the Miami Heat in 2019.

13 and Done: Nashville Superspeedway Breaks NASCAR Xfinity's Historic Viewership Run
13 and Done: Nashville Superspeedway Breaks NASCAR Xfinity's Historic Viewership Run originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NASCAR Xfinity Series was on fire this year. For thirteen straight races, over a million people tuned in to watch every single event. That's the best streak the series has had in almost a decade and it showed just how much fans love what they're seeing on The CW. Advertisement But all good things come to an end. The Tennessee Lottery 250 at Nashville brought in 988,000 viewers, falling just short of that magic million mark. Still, it was the most-watched Xfinity race at Nashville since they started racing there again back in 2021. Here's the thing though – the numbers are still pretty amazing. Those first thirteen races averaged 1.176 million viewers, which is 20% higher than the same time last year. Back then, they were only getting about 978,000 viewers per race on average. NASCAR Xfinity Series drivers race at Nashville Nelles / The Tennessean / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images What's really helping is that The CW puts these races on free-to-air coverage instead of cable broadcast. More people can watch without paying extra and that's making a huge difference. It's the first time in the series' history that every race is free to watch. Advertisement Even with the streak ending, the Nashville numbers showed continued growth. The 988,000 viewers represented a 29% increase over the fourteenth race of 2024 at Sonoma Raceway, indicating that while the milestone run concluded, overall viewership remains robust and well above last year's pace. So yeah, the streak is over at thirteen races. But the bigger story here is that more people are watching NASCAR Xfinity than ever before and that's pretty exciting for the sport.

LeBron James Makes Strong Alex Caruso Statement Before NBA Finals
LeBron James Makes Strong Alex Caruso Statement Before NBA Finals originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The NBA finals tip off Thursday night from Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, where the hometown Thunder host the Indiana Pacers. It's a winner-take-all, best-of-seven series and both teams are chasing their first-ever NBA championship. Advertisement With a break after the conclusion of the Western and Eastern Conference finals, analysts and fans had time to dissect every matchup. Over a full series, the strategies and adjustments will be fascinating to watch. It seems every NBA finals features a wildcard who makes a game-changing impact. For Oklahoma City, that player might be someone who's already been there and done that. On the latest episode of the "Mind the Game" podcast, LeBron James made a strong statement about his former teammate, Alex Caruso. James, joined by Steve Nash, praised Caruso's versatile defensive abilities. 'Then they come off the bench with one of my favorite teammates of all time in Alex Caruso.' Advertisement When Nash chimed in and called Caruso a 'DOG,' LeBron doubled down. 'He's like the ultimate Swiss Army knife. We've seen him guard Giannis, the Joker, ANT, Julius Randle, Jamal Murray, all in this postseason.' "You check the plus/minus after the game, and AC might have five points, three rebounds, two assists and his plus/minus will be a [expletive] 17.' James added. Oklahoma City Thunder guard Alex Caruso (9). Alonzo Adams/Imagn Images Later in the episode, James recalled one of his favorite plays from Oklahoma City's run to the finals. "AC was guarding the ball on the left wing, I think it was Anthony Edwards. Edwards got to the middle, which you try to avoid, but he's so dynamic, it's going to happen. After getting some help at the nail, AC still recovered to contest the corner 3.' James said. Advertisement 'Instead of just standing and watching after the help, he sprinted to the corner and contested the shot. That kind of hustle affects outcomes. With that kind of effort, they're going to keep winning.' Caruso entered the NBA undrafted in 2016 and eventually earned a spot on the 2020 championship Lakers alongside James. He won the NBA Hustle Award in 2024, made the NBA All-Defensive First Team in 2023, and the second team last season. In the 2024–25 season, Caruso played 54 games and averaged 7.1 points per game.

Patriots Rookie Running Back TreVeyon Henderson Predicted to Become Starter
Patriots Rookie Running Back TreVeyon Henderson Predicted to Become Starter originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Rhamondre Stevenson has kept a stronghold on the New England Patriots' starting running back job over the past two seasons, appearing first on the depth chart in 26 of the team's 34 games. Advertisement But Stevenson showed some chinks in his armor during the previous campaign, as he fumbled the ball seven times, which led to his benching at one point in the . Ball security will almost certainly be one of Stevenson's priorities heading into 2025, and improvements in that area will boost his stock in a competitive Patriots running back room. Bleacher Report's Mitch Milani, however, predicts Stevenson will eventually lose his spot on the depth chart to an up-and-coming talent: rookie TreVeyon Henderson. In fact, Stevenson topped Milani's list of "NFL Stars Who'll Lose Jobs," which Milani discussed in an episode of Bleacher Report's NFL Daily Live Show on Monday. 'Rhamondre Stevenson has a little bit more competition than he's had in previous seasons. Not only does he have a new regime, a new head coach and a former – but also new – offensive coordinator, but he also has a new member in his backfield," Milani said in the video. "TreVeyon Henderson – out of Ohio State, [a] second-round pick – was one of, if not the, most explosive running back in the entire draft class. And now, he is fighting, pushing Rhamondre for his starting job.' Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson (32) holds the national championship trophy after his team's defeat of Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff title game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on Jan. 21, Cairns / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Milani anticipates that Stevenson, should he lose the starting job, will continue to be relied upon and earn game reps in the backfield, but he believes Henderson has a higher ceiling in Josh McDaniel's offensive system, which has historically relied on pass-catching running backs. Advertisement "When we think of the Tom Brady era of Patriot football... We think of the Kevin Folk's, and the Shane Vereen's, and the James White's of the world," Milani said. "Henderson fits that role. But even more so, more expansively, he is a more explosive player, or [a more] highly-touted player, than any one of those running backs." Henderson, the No. 38 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, is coming off a national championship season with Ohio State, which won the first-ever 12-team College Football Playoff in January. In his final season with the Buckeyes, he served as a team captain on offense and rushed for 1,1016 yards on 144 carries, resulting in him earning a place on the All-Big Ten Conference Third Team.
