Ohio State Reacts to TreVeyon Henderson's NFL Preseason Touchdown
The New England Patriots bolstered their running back room in the 2025 NFL draft, selecting Ohio State standout TreVeyon Henderson with the No. 38 overall pick.
As the start of the 2025 NFL season quickly approaches, Henderson continues to prove himself as a viable starting running back option at the next level. The second round pick currently sits No. 2 on the Patriots' depth chart, but could find himself in the starting position sooner rather than later.
Henderson continued to impress in Saturday's preseason matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The 22-year-old running back opened up the scoring with his first career rushing touchdown from inside the 10-yard line.
The Buckeyes took to social media to react to this accomplishment on Saturday.
"Touchdown Trey is back in action," the team wrote on X.
While this touchdown marked Henderson's first rushing score, it's not his touchdown in the league. In the Patriots' preseason opener against the Washington Commanders, the former Ohio State running back notched a 100-yard kickoff return on his first NFL touch. He finished that 48-18 win with three catches for 12 yards and one carry for 18 yards.
In his final collegiate season with the Buckeyes, Henderson notched 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground — leading the Big Ten with 7.1 yards per carry. He also reeled in 27 catches for 284 yards and one touchdown in Ohio State's national championship season.
The Patriots will close out their preseason schedule with a matchup against the New York Giants on Aug. 21. New England's 2025 regular season will begin with a Week 1 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sep. 7.

Phillies benefit a 3rd time on catcher's interference call, this one against Mariners
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — For the third time in less than a month, the Philadelphia Phillies were on the positive end of a catcher's interference call. In the first inning of their game Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners, J.T. Realmuto was called out on strikes on a pitch by Bryce Miller that would have ended the inning. However, Realmuto argued that his swing was interfered with by Seattle catcher Mitch Garver — who was starting behind the plate while usual catcher and MLB homer leader Cal Raleigh was in the lineup as a designated hitter. The Phillies challenged the call, and after a video review, it was determined that Garver's glove did interfere with Realmuto's bat on the swing, and Realmuto was awarded first base. Last month, when Boston was in Philadelphia, catcher Carlos Narvaez was called for inference in consecutive games, in both instances allowing a run to score, one of them to end a game in extra innings. It was the first walk-off catcher's interference since 1971. This time, there was no damage as Miller induced a fielder's choice ground out by Alec Bohm on the first pitch after the review, ending the inning with Seattle trailing 1-0 thanks to Kyle Schwarber's NL-leading 44th homer. Major League baseball set a record in 2024 for catcher's interference calls with 100, which broke the mark set a season earlier when there were 96 infractions. ___ AP MLB:

New Penguins Top Six Projection Has Intriguing Look
The Pittsburgh Penguins brought in several new players this off-season, so their lineup will certainly look different next season. They will also have plenty of decisions to make when it comes to assembling their lineup, so they will need to be watched closely during the pre-season. The NHL's official Facebook account recently shared its top six projection for the Penguins, and it offers a mix of everything. For the Penguins' first line, they are predicting that Sidney Crosby will center Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust. If Rust and Rakell both end up not being traded this off-season, it would not be surprising if they played on a line with Crosby. They both are coming off career-best seasons and have great chemistry with Crosby. Thus, if this ends up being the Penguins' first line, they should make a big impact offensively. As for the Penguins' second line, they have Evgeni Malkin at center, which is a no-brainer. However, things get interesting when it comes to Malkin's wingers, as the NHL's official account has newcomer Anthony Mantha and prospect Ville Koivunen playing with No. 71. When healthy, Mantha has shown during his career that he can be an impactful second-line winger, so testing him out with Malkin would be understandable. As for Koivunen, he is one of the Penguins' most promising prospects, so having him play with a legend like Malkin could be excellent for his development. It will be interesting to see what the Penguins' top six ends up being at the start of the season. Some other candidates who could compete for a spot in the Penguins' top six include Rutger McGroarty, Philip Tomasino, and Tommy Novak, if he plays on the wing. Penguins Star Invited To USA's Olympic Orientation Camp Team USA has announced their 2026 Olympic orientation camp roster, and one Pittsburgh Penguins star has made the cut - forward Bryan Rust.
