Notre Dame's Aamil Wagner named to the 2025 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List
Senior offensive lineman Aamil Wagner is one of a record 116 nominees to the 2025 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, the foundation announced. The award recognizes college football players across the FBS who exemplify community service, academic excellence and athletic achievement.
The honor celebrates student-athletes who use their platforms to create positive change, and it is named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel, who has created a lasting legacy of leadership and humanitarianism.
The finalists and recipient will be selected by a national voting committee, with input from a fan vote. The winner will be announced live on The Home Depot College Football Awards show on December 12, airing on ESPN. The Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Presentation Gala will follow on January 31, 2026, at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta.
Wagner is the president of the Notre Dame chapter of Uplifting Athletes, an organization that supports the rare disease community and their families. He also leads initiatives to improve the lives of athletes off the field, from youth athletics to college student-athletes. He also volunteers at his local senior center, homeless shelter and church.
Former Fighting Irish linebacker Drue Tranquill won the award in 2018 and was a finalist in 2017.

Michael Bisping: Khamzat Chimaev won't change approach at UFC 319, 'it's just in his DNA'
Michael Bisping sees Khamzat Chimaev trying to storm out of the gates as he always does against Dricus Du Plessis. Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) challenges middleweight champion Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) in the UFC 319 main event on Aug. 16 from United Center in Chicago (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). Chimaev has been advised by many to employ a slower approach in order to reserve his gas tank, but Bisping doesn't see that happening. In his most recent outing, Chimaev quickly took Robert Whittaker down and submitted him in Round 1 at UFC 308. "Khamzat Chimaev needs to have a secret weapon because in the past, he has slowed down," Bisping said on his YouTube channel. "I love that about Khamzat. He isn't going to change. This is the way that he fights. You can't change it; it's just in his DNA. The man is an absolute animal. He says he wants to kill everyone, but he does, and that's why we love him. That's why we tune in, and that's why this fight is going to be phenomenal. "Because will he be able to go out there and dominate Dricus Du Plessis? Because if he can, then I don't see anybody taking this belt off Khamzat Chimaev anytime soon." That being said, Bisping shares the opinion of the majority of pundits, which is that Du Plessis gets his hand raised if he's able to weather the early Chimaev storm. "I understand that Khamzat is going to be a very dangerous threat early. However, you can't be a marathon runner and a sprinter at the same time," Bisping said. "Khamzat Chimaev is a sprinter. Whereas other people have more of a style to go longer. Look at some of the most explosive fighters on the roster, they're amazing in the first round. "Conor McGregor didn't have the best gas tank going on for five rounds, but in the first round, holy sh*t, you were in a lot of trouble. ... So Khamzat Chimaev, I just think he's built a certain way. But if Dricus Du Plessis can drag him into the later rounds, I still think it favors Dricus. And the fact that Khamzat is a 2-to-1 favorite is crazy."

Pat McAfee calls out 'bum a-- suits' at ESPN while congratulating network's WWE deal
Pat McAfee is happy to see ESPN and the WWE get a historic deal done to broadcast premium live events. But the ESPN host called out some employees within his own company in the process. McAfee posted on X congratulating ESPN and WWE on finalizing a deal, which was announced Wednesday. "Great to see 2 powerhouses of sports and entertainment come together," McAfee wrote before taking his shot. "I assume all the mid level, powerless, bum a--suits at ESPN will attempt to muddy this somehow (out of context leaks/ignorant anonymous opinions/etc.) but, in the end.. this agreement will outlive the dinosaurs currently guarding desks in Bristol and this deal will be great for ESPN. "Cheers to the future." McAfee has had issues in the past with ESPN executives, which could've led to his jab. He accused Norby Williamson on air, saying the longtime executive tried to "sabotage" his show in 2024. Williamson ended up moving on to FanDuel Sports Network after spending 40 years at the "Worldwide Leader in Sports." The WWE-ESPN deal has been reported to be worth $1.6 billion over five years. This will allow ESPN to broadcast some of the most anticipated WWE events each year, like WrestleMania, Summer Slam and the Royal Rumble as part of the pro wrestling giant's direct-to-consumer service launching in late August. McAfee is a big wrestling fan, having served as a commentator for the WWE. However, he stepped away from that earlier this year due to a busy schedule. But he is clearly aware of the deal, and he has never shied away from speaking his mind even after joining ESPN on a five-year, $85 million deal. "I don't got a motherf---ing boss," he said in the past. ESPN made another landmark deal in the world of sports. The network announced Tuesday it acquired the NFL Network in a deal that gave the league a 10% equity stake in ESPN. The deal includes the NFL's linear RedZone Channel, NFL Fantasy and more.

Anthony Hernandez 'still not really sold' on Khamzat Chimaev before UFC 319
Anthony Hernandez thinks Khamzat Chimaev is still unproven heading into his first UFC title fight. Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) challenges middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) in the UFC 319 headliner on Aug. 16 from United Center in Chicago (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). Chimaev is the betting favorite heading into his fight with Du Plessis, who holds wins over former champions Robert Whittaker, Israel Adesanya and Sean Strickland. However, Hernandez isn't ready to buy into the undefeated phenom's hype just yet. "I think DDP is going to shock the world again," Hernandez told MMA Junkie. "He's a big, tough, awkward motherf*cker, and I'm still not really sold on Khamzat. I understand he's good, and he's dangerous, yada yada, but he's kind of fought all small guys who have come up. (Kamaru) Usman gave him a run for his money off the couch, so how does he do with somebody that's like a real 85'er?" Hernandez (14-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) will look to enter the middleweight title picture when he takes on Roman Dolidze (15-3 MMA, 9-3) in Saturday's UFC on ESPN 72 (ESPN, ESPN+) main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
