Michigan State transfer guard commits to Santa Clara following two years in East Lansing
Michigan State basketball landed guard Gehrig Normand out of North Richland Hills, Texas in the 2023 recruiting class. The guard played two years in East Lansing before making the decision to transfer.
A 6-foot-5 guard, Normand could never really find time to get on the floor for the Spartans. In his two years, he redshirted for one, and in year two, he only played in 13 games for the Spartans. Following the 2024-25 season, Normand entered the transfer portal.
Now, the former Spartan has found his new home. Late on Saturday night, Normand has announced that he has committed to Santa Clara of the West Coast Conference. He will have three years of eligibility with him when he gets to the west coast.
Normand averaged 0.6 points and 0.2 assists during his time in East Lansing, but was known as an outstanding teammate at MSU.

Steelers CB Beanie Bishop's viral Pitt logo stomp blasted by GM Doug Whaley
Steelers CB Beanie Bishop's viral Pitt logo stomp blasted by GM Doug Whaley Beanie Bishop Jr.'s viral disrespect of Pitt football continues to make headlines — as new information on the situation has been brought to light. On 93.7 The Fan Morning Show, it was revealed that the Steelers were invited into the Pitt Panthers' locker room — where Bishop would commit his stomp and cleat drag on their logo— making the situation that much worse. A special guest on The Fan Morning Show — acting Pitt GM Doug Whaley — made it clear he was less than thrilled with Bishop's actions: "When you get invited to someone's house, and when you're in their locker room house, as sacred as it is — that locker room, you have to give it mad respect. And for [the Steelers] to be invited guests over — and for him to do this — it shows how unprofessional, but to the core, the type of person he is. There's lines you just don't cross. It's a fun rivalry, and we say 'we hate each other,' but we hate each other on the field. We respect the rivalry off the field." Whaley also previously worked as the Steelers' pro personal creator from 2000 to 2010 — which adds an extra layer of intrigue to his comments. Additionally, Bishop was unapologetic about his actions or the potential backlash, claiming that he only cared about the reactions of Steelers fans and WVU fans.

‘Who Am I Sitting Next To?': NFL Star Travis Hunter Wins Hearts With Humble Airport Encounter
Travis Hunter, the Jacksonville Jaguars' No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, is making headlines for all the right reasons after a heartwarming interaction with a fellow passenger on a recent United Airlines flight. The former Colorado star and Heisman Trophy winner left a lasting impression on Sandy Hawkins Combs, who had no idea she was sitting next to a future NFL sensation until other passengers began approaching him. Combs shared her experience in a Facebook post that quickly went viral, praising Hunter for his exceptional manners and down-to-earth personality. The young athlete offered to help her with her bag, addressed her as 'ma'am,' and engaged in pleasant conversation throughout the flight. What stood out most to Combs wasn't Hunter's athletic achievements but his genuine humility and respectful demeanor, qualities that have endeared him to fans. This chance meeting between Hunter and Combs happened as she was flying home from Denver. Travis Hunter Shows MVP-Worthy Manners On Flight 'Anyone would be proud to have him as a son or grandson – so polite,' Combs wrote in her viral Facebook post. It wasn't until fellow passengers began approaching Hunter for photos that Combs realized her seatmate was someone special. 'I turned and asked him, 'Who am I sitting next to?' I looked at his Jaguar pants, smiled, and asked, 'Are you an athlete?' He smiled and said, 'I'm Travis. Yes, I was drafted by the Jags.' I already told my sons I want his jersey,' she recounted. Advertisement Hunter's impression on Combs extended beyond their brief encounter. She expressed her newfound support for the Jacksonville Jaguars, writing, 'He's so humble and down-to-earth—I would have never guessed he was a professional athlete. JACKSONVILLE JAGS, you did good! I will be buying tickets.' The Jacksonville Jaguars invested heavily to secure Hunter in the draft, trading up for the No. 2 pick by parting with the No. 5 overall pick, No. 36, No. 126, and a 2026 first-round pick.
