Check out these highlights of new Broncos EDGE Sai'vion Jones
The Denver Broncos used the 101st overall pick to select LSU pass rusher Sai'vion Jones in the third round of the 2025 NFL draft on Friday night.
Jones had a productive four years as a member of the Tigers, recording 99 total tackles (38 solo, 61 assisted), 11.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and five pass breakups.
Jones is another piece that could factor into an already dominant Denver defense heading into year three under defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. Although Jones was graded lower than he was picked (he was graded 139th out of 250 players on Draft Wire's Jeff Ridson's big board), the Broncos saw something they wanted bad enough to give up three picks to get the pass rusher from Vacherie, Louisiana.
Check out some of Jones' best plays below. The Broncos' next pick is in the fourth round (134th overall).

Men's College World Series 2025 players talk toughest opponent, favorite venue and more
OMAHA, Neb. — Eight teams descended on Omaha for the 2025 College World Series. On Thursday, following a short workout at Charles Schwab Field, the players met with the media in an informal setting. I grabbed a few from each team to ask them a series of questions about their toughest opponent, their favorite venue, their head coach and more. Advertisement The sweeping takeaways: Everybody wants to play shortstop, most position players think they can pitch, but not all pitchers think they can hit. Also, everybody loves their coach (or at least says they do). Let's get going. Dalton Beck, P/OF, LSU: Probably Nate Snead at Tennessee. Either him or the sidearm guy from Alabama, Carson Ozmer. Logan de Groot, OF, UCLA: The lefty reliever from ASU, Cole Carlon. Daniel Dickinson, 2B, LSU: Jared Spencer from Texas. Kasen Khansarinia, UTL, UCLA: Jason Reitz from Oregon. He's like 6-11. Their Sunday guy. Matt Klein, C, Louisville: Jared Spencer for Texas, the Friday guy. Dustin Mercer, OF, Murray State: The guy we faced last at Duke, (James) Tallon. He was pretty dang good. And Mason Morris from Ole Miss was up there as well. Steven Milam, SS, LSU: Liam Doyle (Tennessee). Zion Rose, OF, Louisville: I'd give it to Jamie Arnold (Florida State). Tommy Splaine, 1B, Arizona: Ryan Prager at (Texas) A&M. Chris Stanfield, OF, LSU: I'd say Liam Doyle. Easton Talt, OF, Oregon State: Jamie Arnold was really tough for FSU. Justin Thomas Jr., OF, Arkansas: That's tough. Kade Anderson (LSU). Gavin Turley, OF, Oregon State: Off recent memory, I'd have to say Jamie Arnold. He was pretty nasty. Aaron Walton, OF, Arizona: Ryan Prager, from A&M. And the Mississippi State bullpen was incredible. I don't remember their names, but they were all lights out. Josh Alger, RHP, UCLA: Leadoff hitter for Michigan (Benjamin Casillas). Jaxon Appelman, RHP, Coastal Carolina: The kid from Wake Forest, the shortstop, Marek Houston. Landon Beidelschies, LHP, Arkansas: Slate Alford from Georgia. He's a tough at-bat. Wyatt Danilowicz, LHP, Louisville: Brendan Summerhill of Arizona. Advertisement Patrick Forbes, RHP, Louisville: Max Belyeu from Texas. He was a tough guy to get out. That was our first game of the year. He had a few hits off me. Jacob Hustedde, RHP, Murray State: Probably Judd Utermark at Ole Miss. Luke Jones, RHP, Coastal Carolina: Cam Cannarella, from Clemson. Nelson Keljo, LHP, Oregon State: Alex Lodise (Florida State).

Very impressed. Jaxon Appleman, RHP, Coastal Carolina: Definitely Wake Forest. They are always a fight for us. Dalton Beck, P/OF, LSU: Honestly, Little Rock.

Very well coached. Phoenix Call, 2B, UCLA: Oregon was pretty good. I thought UCI was really good. Cal Irvine, very good team. Chase Clatur, RHP, Murray State: Definitely Georgia Tech.

People don't know this, but Kevin Schnall is a very funny guy. Dalton Beck, P/OF, LSU: He lives, breathes, eats baseball. He is always thinking about the next pitch, the next play, what he can do to help us prepare. He basically lives in his office. Landon Beidelschies, LHP, Arkansas: He's got triplet grandkids. They were born just about the time I was being recruited here, so he had to miss part of my visit for that. Phoenix Call, 2B, UCLA: He's funny. He's serious. But he's funny.

Steven Milam, SS, LSU: His jokes are really funny. Elliott Peterson, C, Arkansas: He's a stud. Matthew Potok, RHP, Coastal Carolina: He's a Jersey guy. People think he's from (the South), but he's a Jersey guy. A lot of us are Jersey guys, so we have a connection. Zion Rose, OF, Louisville: He's actually a really funny guy. He has good comedic timing. Mason Russell, LHP, Arizona: I think he's very superstitious. Tommy Splaine, 1B, Arizona: He's definitely the best husband and family man out there.

Livvy Dunne Turns Heads at LSU's College World Series Game in Omaha
Livvy Dunne was the talk of the town on Saturday when LSU took on Alabama at the Men's College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. The 22-year-old former gymnast showed up and showed out wearing a Paul Skenes jersey that was half LSU (on the front) and half Pittsburgh Pirates (on the back). The jersey, of course, pays homage to her beau, Skenes. Advertisement Dunne drew a ton of attention upon arrival at Charles Schwab Field, from when she walked the bowels of the stadium to when she finally reached her seat. Once there, fans snapped photos and some even flocked to her. At one point, in images shared on social media, Dunne could also be seen FaceTiming the MLB star. In an interview, Dunne said she had to come back to Omaha to support her Tigers, who won the national championship there in 2023. The reporter also asked her where she copped the custom jersey, and Dunne said someone sent it to her! She said she couldn't recall who at the moment, but chances are requests for the unique jersey will soon fly through the roof. Dunne had a lot to cheer about on Saturday, as the Tigers went on to beat the Razorbacks, 4-1. Advertisement Kade Anderson, a projected top-five overall pick in the ML Draft next month, limited Arkansas to just three hits and one run in seven-plus innings pitch. He struck out seven batters.

Liberty likely squander chance to advance in Commissioner's Cup with Fever now holding tiebreaker
We've got you covered on the Liberty beat Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Madeline Kenney about all things Liberty and WNBA. tRY IT NOW INDIANAPOLIS — The Liberty's nine-game win streak came to an end Saturday as they fell 102-88 to the Fever. The loss has implications for the Commissioner's Cup standings, too. Entering Saturday, the Liberty were in position to host the Seattle Storm in the championship game July 1. But those chances were greatly diminished by the loss. The Liberty are 9-1 this season and 3-1 in the Commissioner's Cup games. The Fever are also 3-1, but they hold the head-to-head tiebreaker. 4 Sabrina Ionescu and Caitlin Clark are pictured during the Liberty's 102-88 loss to the Fever on June 14, 2025. Imagn Images Barring an upset loss to the Sun on Tuesday, Indiana appears the front-runner to represent the Eastern Conference in this year's in-season tournament's championship game. 'It is what it is. It's something we can't change,' Liberty coach Sandy Brondello said. 'We would've loved to be there. And obviously we're going to have to have some massive help on our side. But in the end, it's about being the best team at the end of the season and that's where we got to make sure that we continue to focus on.' Jonquel Jones didn't make the trip to Indiana as she continues to work her way back from a sprained right ankle. Brondello said pregame that Jones is 'progressing' and anticipates the 2025 Finals MVP will play Tuesday against the Dream. 4 Jonquel Jones reacts after injuring her ankle during the Liberty's win over the Mystics on June 5, 2025. Imagn Images 'We're really mindful,' Brondello said. 'It's big picture. We don't want players to play, especially at this time of the year … when they're not 100 percent.' Saturday was the second straight game Jones missed with this injury. To make matters worse, the Liberty were also without Leonie Fiebich, who's away from the team for the foreseeable future because of EuroBasket. 4 Jonquel Jones left the Liberty's win against the Mystics on June 5 with an ankle injury Getty Images With Jones and Fiebich out, Nyara Sabally and Kennedy Burke were promoted to the starting lineup. Sabally had 10 points, nine rebounds and a career-high four steals in nearly 31 minutes. Meanwhile, Burke had a tough offensive outing, going 1-for-5 from the field and 0-for-3 from deep. 4 Nyara Sabally (right) defends during the Liberty's loss to the Fever. Getty Images She finished with three points, three rebounds and three assists. The Liberty were probably bound to slip up eventually, considering no team has ever gone undefeated in a WNBA season. The Fever were much more disruptive and met the Liberty with physicality. The Liberty, though, had several defensive breakdowns, which led to open looks and easy buckets. New York paid the price by sometimes leaving the corners open. Lexie Hull knocked down three 3-pointers, and Sydney Colson added two. '[The Fever] executed well, and we had so many breakdowns on defense and they made shots,' Brondello said. 'They really punished us on that end, making 17 3s on 35 [attempts], it was just too wide open. So little lack of communication. … A lot of things that we can learn and … we're nowhere near where we need to be.'
