LSU football recruiting: Priority Louisiana defensive line target reveals decision date
Texas, Florida and Tennessee make up the rest of McKinley's suitors. He will be one of two LSU targets to make his decision public this weekend, preceding Deuce Geralds' announcement on August 2.
Rivals' Prediction Machine lists LSU as the heavy favorite days ahead of McKinley's announcement. A three-star prospect per Rivals' Industry Rankings, McKinley ranks No. 48 at his position and No. 16 out of Louisiana.
The Lafayette native plays high school football at Acadiana and is the younger brother of current Tiger defensive tackle Dominick McKinley. Darryus' commitment would add another set of brothers to the roster, joining Whit and West Weeks as well as Ben and Brett Bordelon.
McKinley's latest visit to LSU came on July 28, his only visit since March. The Tigers are likely to add him to their 2026 class, which ranks fifth in the SEC and eighth nationally. McKinley would strengthen LSU's strong defensive line crop, which already includes Lamar Brown and Richard Anderson.

Daryl Dike hurts thigh, latest setback for American forward on West Brom
Daryl Dike will miss the start of West Bromwich Albion's season because of a thigh injury, the latest in a string of health setbacks for the 25-year-old American forward. The team said Friday that Dike was hurt in practice and will resume training after the international break in early September. Dike ruptured right Achilles tendon against Stoke on April 15, 2023, and returned on Jan. 7, 2024, when he played the first half in an FA Cup match against Aldershot. He tore his left Achilles against Ipswich that Feb. 10, just five games after coming back. Dike returned last Feb. 15 against Millwall in the first of 10 substitute appearances and started the season finale against Luton on May 3. Dike joined West Brom from Major League Soccer's Orlando in January 2022. He sustained a season-ending hamstring injury in his first start, against Peterborough on Jan. 22, 2022, and tore a thigh muscle in the 2022-23 opener against Stoke on July 30, 2022. He returned that Nov. 12 in West Brom's last game before the World Cup break, then tore his right Achilles tendon the following spring. Dike has three goals in 10 appearances for the U.S. ___ AP soccer:

Copa America Feminina 2025: Brazil crowned champions of the Americas
Brazil crowned champions of the Americas Last night, Brazil managed to retain their title as champions of the Americas, once again lifting the Copa America Feminina after defeating Colombia (4-4, 5-4 on penalties). The final of the Copa America Feminina between Brazil and Colombia was played just a few hours ago, and what a wild encounter it was. In a breathtaking battle, it was the Brazilians who ultimately held onto the trophy, securing it for a fifth consecutive time—a remarkable ninth in their history. Colombia struck first, with Linda Caicedo opening the scoring in the 25th minute, setting the stage for a thrilling contest. Angelina leveled from the penalty spot right before halftime (45+9'), but then Tarciane accidentally turned the ball into her own net in the 69th minute, putting Colombia back in front. Amanda Gutierres Dos Santos equalized in the 80th, only for Mayra Ramirez to restore Colombia's lead in the 88th minute. It looked as though Colombia were on the verge of claiming their first-ever title in the competition. But Brazilian legend Marta had other ideas, dragging the Seleção into extra time with a dramatic equalizer deep into stoppage time (90+6'). The iconic Marta then put Brazil ahead for the first time in the match in the 105th minute. But at the 115th, Leicy Santos ensured the final would be decided by penalties. In a nerve-wracking shootout, Brazil ultimately clinched the title 5-4.
