Jonathan Smith provides interesting update on MSU O-Line depth

Depth within the offensive line was a concern last season for the Spartans, but that doesn't appear to be the case anymore. Michigan State is in the midst of fall preseason camp, with the Spartans kicking off week three of practice earlier on Monday. As part of progressing into week three, Spartans head coach Jonathan Smith met with the media on Monday to discuss a number of topics surrounding his team. One of those was the depth he's seeing at offensive line. According to a post from Emmett Matasovsky of Spartan Shadows, Smith said there's a battle for the starting five spots on the offensive line, with "close to 10 guys" still in the mix. This quote is particularly interesting because, to me, this suggests they feel pretty good about essentially their entire two deep at offensive line. Michigan State's offensive line has been a weakness for the Spartans for what feels like a decade at this point. Sure, there have been bright spots along the way, but it hasn't been a unit that has given the fan base much faith over at least the last few seasons at a minimum. If Michigan State can put together an average Big Ten offensive line, I feel very confident in what they can achieve this season on that side of the ball. The skilled position groups all seem to be upper-tier in the league, with the offensive line being the biggest question mark. However, it's starting to sound like we should be putting more faith and expectations into that unit as we inch closer and close to the start of the 2025 season.

Man City Willing to Replace Ederson With £26M-Rated Chelsea, Man Utd Target Amid PSG Doubt

Gianluigi Donnarumma's future at PSG looks uncertain after the club signed Lucas Chevalier. With that move, Donnarumma will likely need to find a new long-term team, and rumors are linking him to Manchester United. CentreDevils recently reported that Manchester United have held direct talks about signing Donnarumma. The 26-year-old keeper is reportedly a target for Ruben Amorim, who is said to be a big fan. The report notes that Donnarumma's experience and talent could be a key addition at Old Trafford as Amorim works on rebuilding the squad this summer. Journalist Ben Jacobs also shared that PSG is asking for £26 million, with Donnarumma having just one year left on his contract after the club decided not to offer an extension. Does Man City have the edge for PSG outcast?On Tuesday, RMC Sport's Fabrice Hawkins reported that Manchester City will monitor Donnarumma if Ederson leaves the club. Negotiations are ongoing with the goalkeeper's side, and personal terms won't be an issue as Donnarumma is keen on the move. Meanwhile, RMC Sport reported Monday that Chelsea and Manchester United have inquired about Donnarumma's situation. But this case is far from settled; for now, it is just a simple expression of interest from the two English clubs. On the latest episode of the Ensemble PSG Podcast, Robin Bairner, chief editor at Football Transfers, commented on the rumor linking Donnarumma to Manchester United. 'Well, our understanding at Football Transfers is that Manchester United are naturally interested in a goalkeeper,' Bairner said. 'Andre Onana hasn't been up to the standard that they had expected when they signed him. So naturally, Manchester United step into this equation. Whether Gianluigi Donnarumma is prepared to go to United, where they don't have European football this year, of course, that's debatable. 'And of course, there's a whole heap of sales that Manchester United are likely to have to make now to be able to afford to sign Donnarumma because of financial fair play. They've obviously made three big signings now, having announced Sesko. So there are complications there.'

Cody Bellinger not letting looming free agency get in way of his Yankees ‘aspirations'

Access the Yankees beat like never before Don't miss Greg Joyce's text messages from The Bronx and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees. Sign Up Now Cody Bellinger has enjoyed a strong initial season in The Bronx, both at the plate and in making himself extra valuable with his versatility across all three outfield positions. Notably, the 30-year-old Bellinger also can become a free agent after the 2025 season concludes — if he decides to opt out of the final year of his contract at $25 million. But the former NL MVP insists he only is thinking about helping the Yankees shake off their recent slide and secure a playoff spot. 'As cliché as it sounds, I'm really just taking it day by day,' Bellinger said when asked about his contract before Tuesday's game against the Twins at the Stadium. 'There's like 45 games left in the regular season, and obviously we have dreams and aspirations of getting to the postseason and back to the World Series.
