Bengals to host Josh Conerly for top-30 visit
The Cincinnati Bengals have a top-30 draft visit scheduled with Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr, according to James Crepea of The Oregonian.
The Bengals are always going to continue searching for help in the trenches, especially now that they have doled out contracts that total over $120 million per year to quarterback Joe Burrow ($55 million) and wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase ($40.25) and Tee Higgins ($28.75).
Conerly could be a potential Day 2 pick for the Bengals. He was named First Team All-Big Ten and Third Team All-American in 2024 after starting all 14 games for the Big Ten champion Ducks. While he may be a bit undersized (6'4, 313 pounds), he has the explosiveness and athleticism to develop into a strong tackle or guard at the next level.
He showed progress as the season wore on, including holding his own against potential No. 1 pick Abdul Carter in the Big Ten championship game.
This visit will give the Bengals a chance to gather more information on Conerly. Top-30 visits are simply 30 official visits allowed for each team with non-local draft prospects. It doesn't necessarily mean they're a top-30 player or that the Bengals will even draft him. Rather, it's a chance to get the prospect in a formal setting for an interview and a physical. Still, Conerly is a name to potentially watch in round two for the Bengals.

Caraway's grand slam helps Oregon State beat Florida State 14-10, advance to CWS
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Trent Caraway hit a grand slam and Gavin Turley added a two-run home run in the third inning to help No. 8 seed Oregon State beat Florida State 14-10 on Sunday night to win the best-of three Corvallis Super Regional. The Beavers (47-14-1) advance to the College World Series for the eighth time in program history and the first since 2018, when Oregon State won the most recent of its CWS titles. Krieg walked, Reeder was hit by a pitch and McEntire drew an eight-pitch walk to set up Caraway's slam and Turley's shot made it 13-3. Zach Kmatz (2-0) gave up two runs over 2 2/3 relief innings. Max Williams hit a two-run homer in the top of the first but Oregon State responded in the bottom. Reeder hit a three-run home run off starter Wes Mendes (7-3) before McEntire added a solo shot to that gave the Beavers a 7-2 lead. Chase Williams hit a solo shot in the second for No. 9 seed Florida State (42-16). Lodise had an RBI in the fourth and, after Tyce Peterson responded with a solo homer for OSU, Jaxson West and Gage Harrelson each drove in a run in the fifth. Myles Bailey hit a two-run home run in the six to make it 14-8. Brody DeLamielleure and Harrelson drove in a run apiece to cap the scoring in the ninth. The Seminoles beat Oregon State 3-1 on Saturday to avoid elimination after the Beavers rallied to win the opener 5-4 in 10 innings. Florida State played in its record 19th super regional and its 61 postseason appearances and 211 postseason wins are second in NCAA history, behind Texas with 259 wins in 64 appearances. ___ AP college sports:

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — David Ayala scored in stoppage time to give the Timbers a 2-1 victory over St. Louis City on Sunday, extending Portland's unbeaten streak at home to eight games. Ayala's goal came in the second minute of second-half stoppage time off a corner kick. Advertisement After a scoreless first half in temperatures that soared into the 90s Fahrenheit, Akil Watts scored in the 50th minute to put St. Louis City (3-8-6) ahead. Five minutes later, Antony fooled a defender and put his shot from atop the box into the upper far corner to pull the Timbers (7-4-6) even. It was Antony's team-leading sixth goal of the season. The match was City's second under David Critchley, who took over after the team fired Olof Mellberg. St. Louis beat the San Jose Earthquakes 2-1 in Critchley's debut to end its 11-match regular-season winless streak.
