'Freak' Longhorns freshman already looks like an NFL Player
Terry has shown up to camp ripped. Listed at 6-foot-5, 268 pounds, he easily looks like he's gained 15 pounds of muscle.
Terry has a frame that should accommodate more muscle as he builds his body further. He could even grow a little taller. Longhorns DE coach LaAllan Clark said that Terry be rotated into the defensive lineup to create mismatches at the line of scrimmage.
Terry has competed in track and field throwing events and played basketball at the prep level, demonstrating his multifaceted talent. Per MaxPreps, Terry amassed 78 tackles, including 6.5 for loss, 13 sacks, two pass breakups, and two forced fumbles. Terry also made an impact in 2022, recording 38 tackles, four sacks, two fumble recoveries, and one interception over 10 games.

Indiana basketball will pay out more than $500,000 for non-conference games this season
BLOOMINGTON — Indiana basketball will pay out more than $500,000 to non-conference opponents in 2025-26 for guarantee games, but agreements to play Louisville and participate in a multi-team event (MTE) that includes a game against Marquette at the United Center will offset those costs. The athletic department provided contracts for all the 2025-26 non-conference men's basketball games to The Herald-Times in response to an open records request. Bob Knight: On the Record Per the game contract, Indiana will receive $500,000 for playing Louisville at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Dec. 6 as part of an agreement with bdgSports. The full-service sports marketing agency organized the event and will receive all the revenue from the game. While the contract stipulates the money to be 'earmarked for Participant's student-athletes to engage in Name, Image and Likeness ('NIL') activities during ancillary functions at this Game,' the contract predates the House v. NCAA settlement that established a clearinghouse to vet all NIL deals and the money is now expected to be paid out directly to the school. The Hoosiers will be required to participate in a press conference in Indianapolis prior to the launch of ticket sales and attend a 'charity-based reception/banquet' the night before the game as part of the contract. More: Indiana basketball is making the right kind of noise during summer workouts Division I teams are allowed to play up to 31 regular-season games if they compete in an MTE, an early season tournament or event with multiple teams. Indiana has an unnamed MTE on their 2025-26 schedule organized by the Gazelle Group that's structured differently than the ones in which it participated each of the last two seasons (Battle 4 Atlantis and Empire Classic). The Gazelle Group's event includes two 'Host Teams' (Indiana and Marquette) along with a travel pool. The Hoosiers will play Marquette in a 'Showcase Game' at the United Center in Chicago on Nov. 9. They will also host games as part of the event in Bloomington against Milwaukee (Nov. 12) and Incarnate Word (Nov. 16). Indiana will pay a fee to the Gazelle Group 'as compensation for the two home games played during the Host Rounds' but will receive payment for participating in the showcase game and also receive a percentage of the net ticket sales from that matchup. The exact financials were redacted in the contract provided to The Herald-Times, but IU is expected to profit from participating in the MTE. More: Indiana basketball freshman Trent Sisley happy to be a Hoosier: 'Best decision I could have made' The cost of Indiana basketball's guarantee games in 2025-26 range from $105,000-$115,000 with the exception being a visit from Kansas State on Nov. 25. The contract is similar to the one South Carolina agreed to last season with the Hoosiers and doesn't include any compensation for the Wildcats. Alabama A&M and Lindenwood will each receive $110,000, Chicago State will receive $105,000, Siena College will receive $112,000 and Bethune-Cookman will receive $115,000.

Has Terry McLaurin changed his approach for a new contract from the Commanders?
Is there positive movement in the contract talks between wide receiver Terry McLaurin and the Washington Commanders? On Tuesday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that McLaurin isn't necessarily looking to top the $33 million average annual value of the contract DK Metcalf signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier this offseason. Instead, McLaurin is looking for "parts" of Metcalf's contract. McLaurin reportedly targeted Metcalf's $33 million AAV as a starting point for contract talks, with ESPN's Adam Schefter hinting at — not reporting — McLaurin wanted "considerably more." McLaurin initially held out of training camp for four days before reporting, and the team immediately placed him on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. McLaurin is dealing with an ankle injury. After each of Washington's open practices, McLaurin comes onto the field and signs autographs for the fans for several minutes. Over the weekend, he was spotted hugging team owner Josh Harris and having a friendly chat with team president Mark Clouse. "Here's where things stand now, from what I can gather, nothing has changed significantly yet," Russini said. "I know there's some talk out there that McLaurin is looking for that identical contract of DK Metcalf. I heard there's parts of that contract that he's looking for, but it doesn't necessarily mean that's the exact APY (average per year). The thing that's holding Washington back, despite the fact that they love Terry. Dan Quinn has been phenomenal in speaking about his player, like 'we love you, we got to do this.' And even Terry's been great. He even gave the organization a heads-up and personally told Dan Quinn he was going to ask for a trade." Russini then discusses things from Washington's perspective, which centers on McLaurin's age (he turns 30 next month). She also hinted that McLaurin's camp may want a "tax" paid for what McLaurin did for the organization before quarterback Jayden Daniels arrived in 2024. Russini says there's some leaguewide thinking that this deal should've already gotten done, instead of the Commanders setting a hard line with such a popular and essential player. Ultimately, Russini believes a deal will get done before the season begins because it's what both sides want. What do we make of this? We know leaks are strategic. For Russini to say that McLaurin wants "parts" of Metcalf's deal sounds like a potential leak from the wide receiver's camp to combat what Schefter recently said. Here are some details on Metcalf's contract: Five years, $150 million, added to the current deal that ran through 2025 $60 million fully guaranteed 2025 cash payout: $35 million It's always the guarantees. McLaurin wants to match or likely top Metcalf's guaranteed money, and he's probably not as worried about the AAV. Could this be resolved soon? Washington opens the season on Sept. 7 at Northwest Stadium against the New York Giants.
