Washington five-star signee Brynn McGaughy named McDonald's All-American
Future Washington Huskies forward Brynn McGaughy, coach Tina Langley's top signee in the 2025 class, was named a McDonald's All-American on Monday. The five-star signee from Colfax, Washington, is the first member of Langley's team to earn the honors since current Husky Dalayah Daniels was named to the 2020 squad.
However, Daniels signed with the California Golden Bears out of high school.
'I mean, this is a surreal moment,' McGaughy told Sports Illustrated's Todd Miles. 'I've been dreaming about this since I was a little girl.'
McGaughy, the 6-foot-3 forward from Central Valley High School, who ranks as the No. 18 player in the class according to the 247Sports Composite is the sixth Husky to earn the honors, joining Daniels, Katie Collier, Kelsey Plum, Deja Strother, and Nancy Mulkey.
The talented forward is the leading scorer in the 4A/3A Greater Spokane League, and has helped the Bears to a 16-0 start on the season, averaging a double-double with 17.3 points and 10 rebounds per game.
Tune in to watch McGaughy, who will play for the West squad, take on the East on April 1 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York at 3:30 p.m. PST on ESPN2.

Saskatchewan Roughriders sign all-star running back Ka'Deem Carey
REGINA - The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed all-star running back Ka'Deem Carey, the CFL club announced Monday. Carey was a CFL East all-star with Toronto last season after rushing for a team-high 1,060 yards with seven touchdowns. He had 79 yards and a TD in the Argonauts' 41-24 Grey Cup victory over Winnipeg. However, he was among Toronto's final round of cuts before the start of the season. The move comes after Riders running back A.J. Ouellette left Saskatchewan's 31-26 season-opening win over Ottawa on Thursday with a suspected head injury. Before joining Toronto, Carey spent four seasons with the Calgary Stampeders. He helped the Stamps win a Grey Cup as a rookie in 2018 and led the CFL in rushing in both 2021 and 2022, earning a CFL all-star nod in the latter season. Over 62 regular-season games, the 32-year-old from Tucson, Ariz., has totalled 3,915 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns. The Roughriders also added American linebacker Braxton Hill and American offensive lineman Darius Washington. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 9, 2025.

Oregon Makes Major Marcus Mariota Announcement on Monday
Oregon Makes Major Marcus Mariota Announcement on Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There's no doubt that throughout their history, the Oregon Ducks have produced a number of legendary college football players, but maybe none as recognizable as quarterback Marcus Mariota. Advertisement Of course, throughout his four years with the Ducks, he established himself as not only one of the best players in program history, but also produced one of the most impressive seasons ever for a quarterback. Now, his time with the Ducks will forever be enshrined in history, because on Monday, they announced Mariota is set to be inducted into the Oregon Athletics Hall of Fame as a member of the Class of 2025. From 2012 to 2014, Mariota appeared in 41 games, completing 779-of-1,167 passes for 10,796 yards, 105 touchdowns, 14 interceptions and a 171.8 passing efficiency rating, while also rushing for 2,237 yards and 29 touchdowns. Advertisement His Heisman Trophy-winning junior season is what truly makes him legendary with Oregon, completing 304-of-445 passes for 4,454 yards, 42 touchdowns, four interceptions and a 181.7 passing efficiency rating, with 770 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns. What makes all of this even more special is that he entered college with relatively low expectations, as 247Sports Composite rankings had him as a three-star recruit and the No. 512 player in the nation as part of the 2011 recruiting class. Oregon Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota (8).Tim Heitman-Imagn Images Though Oregon never won it all with Mariota, he did help them reach the national championship, his junior season, which was the first year of the College Football Playoff, where they fell to the Ohio State Buckeyes, losing 42-20. Advertisement Of course, his impressive collegiate career led him to be the No. 2 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft to the Tennessee Titans, where he played for five years, and has since bounced around, currently serving as a backup on the Washington Commanders.
