Samuel Adegbenro bounces back in Norway
Free since last January following his departure from Beijing Guoan (China), Samuel Adegbenro has found a new destination.
The 29-year-old Nigerian forward has signed with Egersunds IK, a current competitor in Norway's second division. After a successful spell at IFK Norrköping, where he shone in the Allsvenskan in 2021, Adegbenro is now making his return to Scandinavia. Kenneth Andersen, the club's sporting director, explained the decision:
Samuel is hungry for football after his break due to injury, and he has family in Stavanger. On our end, we were looking for an experienced player to help move the team forward.
A contract has been signed for the remainder of the season. The objective: to bring his experience and attacking flair to Egersunds IK. It's a new challenge for the former Norrköping prospect, who is now ready to roar again... in yellow and black.

Vikings' Rondale Moore suffers devastating knee injury on 1st preseason play since missing all of 2024
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore suffered a devastating injury on the first play of his preseason appearance after he missed the entire 2024 season with a knee injury. Moore appeared in the Vikings' 20-10 win over the Houston Texans. He checked into the game as a punt returner and when he received the ball he was tackled by Texans linebacker Jamal Hill as he ran out of bounds. The athletic cart came out for Moore and he was taken to the locker room. He placed a towel over his head as emotions ran high. "It's one of the most painful things for me as a head coach when I feel that emotion," Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said, via ESPN. "I make a life out of trying to leave others better than I found them. In that situation, there is nothing I can do, which is the worst feeling as a coach. So you just consult with him and make sure that he knows he's not going to be alone." O'Connell described the knee injury as "pretty significant." Moore only played in eight games in 2022 when he was with the Arizona Cardinals as he battled a hamstring issue. He signed with the Atlanta Falcons in 2024 and suffered a season-ending knee injury in training camp. He joined the Vikings this past March, but he may be out for the season once again. The Vikings are loaded with wide receivers trying to make the team and become the No. 2 behind Justin Jefferson before Jordan Addison sits out due to a suspension to start the year. Fifteen different players were targeted in the preseason game as Sam Howell, Max Brosmer, J.J. McCarthy and Brett Rypien got reps at quarterback.

Meet Calvin Russell, Miami Northwestern wide receiver and 2025 Nat Moore Trophy contender
CBS News Miami's search for the best high school football player in South Florida kicks off at Miami Northwestern High School, home of reigning state champions and standout wide receiver Calvin Russell, a four-star recruit and early contender for the Nat Moore Trophy. Standing at 6 feet 5 inches, Russell is ESPN's fourth-ranked wide receiver and a dominant force on the football field. But he's more than just a football standout. A three-sport athlete, Russell also plays basketball and runs track and his confidence across sports is clear. "No, I'm better in basketball, but I like football more," Russell said. "Like football give me more of a thrill. Basketball, I feel like it come too easy." Russell's athleticism hasn't gone unnoticed. He holds 55 Division I football offers and 13 more for basketball, but his motivation goes deeper than rankings or recruiting. "No matter what's going on, I got to go get it right. Ain't no if, ands, or buts about it. I got to do what I got to do." Russell credits much of his discipline and leadership to his mother, a former University of Miami and WNBA basketball player. "And like, at the end of the day, I know I'm doing this for myself, but like, I got to make it for my mom," Russell said. "Like, my mom, my mom, she do everything for me. She makes sure I'm alright, and she makes sure everybody treat me like… treating like how I'm supposed to be treated." In his junior season, Russell hauled in 39 receptions for 704 yards and 13 touchdowns, helping lead Miami Northwestern to the 2024 Class 3A state title under head coach Teddy Bridgewater, the former NFL quarterback. "So this year, I want to make sure we go all the way out and feel like overall completed going 15 and 0," Russell said. Even with his imposing frame and nearly 6'10" wingspan, Russell remains grounded, giving back to the community whenever he can. "How the kids look at me and stuff like, it's only right," he said. "I give back to the kid and make sure I'm doing the right thing, and make sure I'm on… I'm supposed to be on, and like, just giving back, making… like, making the kid smile, because I know back in my day, I love that."
