Ryan Williams Reveals Conversation With Jeremiah Smith During College Football 26 Cover Shoot
Ryan Williams Reveals Conversation With Jeremiah Smith During College Football 26 Cover Shoot originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Alabama's Ryan Williams and Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith were two true freshmen playmakers who stole the show last season. Advertisement Both wide receivers appeared on the Freshman All-American teams and Smith broke out in a big way thanks to the Buckeyes winning a national championship. With the pending July 10 release of EA Sports College Football 26, Smith and Williams are expected to be a significant part of the game's marketing, given their status as premier players from two of college football's biggest programs. Williams, while being interviewed by On3's Andy Staples, revealed the topics of conversation shared with Smith during the game's cover shoot. "Whenever we were in Pasadena, of course, we talked about last season and him winning a national championship. I was super happy for him," Williams said. Advertisement Smith finished the 2024 season with 76 receptions for 1,315 yards and 15 touchdowns. He also ran for one touchdown and rushed for 47 yards. In addition to being the Rose Bowl MVP, the 6-foot-3, 215-pound receiver was Big Ten Receiver and Freshman of the Year as well as a first-team All-American. Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver Ryan Williams (2).Will McLelland-Imagn Images "But you know, we both agreed that although last year was super fun, super great and we both had good freshman seasons," Williams continued. "We left a lot on the table. Just with that experience from last season, we're still super excited for what's to come this season." Williams ended last year with 48 receptions for 865 yards and eight touchdowns. He also added 48 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Advertisement Expectations for both Ohio State and Alabama are high, as it should be for two of the biggest schools in the country. In ESPN's latest way-too-early rankings, the Buckeyes are Crimson are listed at No. 5 and No. 9, respectively. Both programs have yet to name a starter at quarterback after each school lost last season's starter to the NFL draft. Alabama and Ohio State both begin next season on Aug. 30, with the Buckeyes hosting the Texas Longhorns and the Crimson Tide traveling to Tallahassee to play the Florida State Seminoles.

Jazz 'Dream Trade Target' Lays Blueprint for Deal with Spurs
Jazz 'Dream Trade Target' Lays Blueprint for Deal with Spurs originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The San Antonio Spurs are expected to make a massive move this NBA offseason, although the "shock factor" remains to be seen. Drafting Dylan Harper second overall would certainly be a big move, although, at this point, it is to be expected. Advertisement Still, the Spurs could make a blockbuster trade, either for Kevin Durant or Giannis Antetokounmpo, to bolster their title hopes around Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs could pivot, and both Cam Johnson and Lauri Markkanen seem like viable targets. While the Utah Jazz would love to get their hands on the second overall pick, the Spurs might have a player they would covet just as much. "Sochan lost his starting job in San Antonio this past season," pointed out Bleacher Report's Greg Swartz. "Both could use a fresh start on a team in need of their scoring, defense, and passing." Jeremy Sochan was listed third on the Jazz's dream trade targets, and the Spurs could flip him in a deal for Markkanen, although it would cost a lot more than just the Polish forward. Advertisement The Spurs could, in theory, trade Sochan, Harrison Barnes, Keldon Johnson, and the 14th overall pick to the Jazz for Markkanen, giving them a lineup of Wembanyama, Markkanen, De'Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, and Devin Vassell, with Harper and Julian Champagnie coming off the bench. The Spurs would have enough money left over to pursue free agent center Brook Lopez, Clint Capela, or even Naz Reid. While the Silver and Black are most likely going to hold pat and build organically this offseason, the team has no shortage of options.

Safe parking site opens at former H Barracks near San Diego airport
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — A site at the former H Barracks lot near San Diego International Airport and Liberty Station opened over the weekend, meant to serve as a safe place to sleep for people experiencing homelessness. For people like Barbara Price and Johnny Barber, her longtime friend of 50 years, having a safe place to sleep at night is essential to survival. 'We have to survive,' Price said. 'The best way we can whether it's going to the bathroom or getting something to eat or dealing with people day to day.' San Diego considers sweeping parking reform package: What it entails Barber has lived in a Chevy truck for the last five years, which is adorned with the American flag. 'I'm the son of a soldier,' he said. Price has also called the truck home for the past year. Every night, they look for places to park the truck and get some rest. The H Barracks site, which recently opened near North Harbor Drive between Kincaid and McCain roads, is meant to serve people like Price and Barber. The city of San Diego entered into a one-year agreement with the nonprofit, Jewish Family Service of San Diego, who will manage the site along with other existing ones. Open seven nights a week between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m., the site includes 190 parking spaces for individuals and families living in vehicles and are experiencing homelessness. The city says 120 of the spaces can be utilized by oversized vehicles. The facility also includes security and bathrooms onsite, as well as housing navigation and mental health resources. The city says the overall goal of the site, and others like it, is to get people into stable housing. However, prior to its opening, the site's proposed location was a contentious topic for many in the Point Loma community. Community members have expressed concerns about safety, particularly in relation to the proximity to the airport, a children's playground and Liberty Station. The city previously stated the H Barracks site is not permanent and will only be operational until the pure water project opens in 2029. FOX 5/KUSI's Juliette Vara contributed to this report.
