Four Clemson football starters named to preseason watch list for 2025 Lombardi Award
More preseason honors rolled in for four Clemson football starters Tuesday. Defensive linemen T.J. Parker and Peter Woods were named to the preseason Lombardi Award watch list, as were linebacker Sammy Brown and offensive tackle Blake Miller. The Lombardi Award annually recognizes the nation's best down lineman on either offense or defense "who best embodies the character, discipline, and excellence of NFL Hall of Fame head coach Vince Lombardi, while also demonstrating outstanding performance and ability on the field." Clemson tied the Alabama Crimson Tide and Texas Longhorns for programs with the most players named to the 2025 Lombardi watch list. It's the latest in a string of preseason accolades for the four Tigers. Woods was named to the Walter Camp Player of the Year watch list, as was senior quarterback Cade Klubnik. The 6-foot-3, 315-pound defensive tackle was also named to the preseason watch lists for the Nagurski Trophy, Bednarik Award and Outland Trophy. Woods enters his junior season after playing in 11 games (10 starts) a year ago. He had 28 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, three sacks and a forced fumble as a sophomore. In two seasons at Clemson, Woods has recorded 54 tackles (31 solo), 11 tackles for loss and two forced fumbles over 23 games. Parker, the Tigers' 6-foot-3, 265-pound edge rusher, started all 14 games last season and has played in all 27 games since his freshman season in 2023. He had 57 tackles (35 solo) and had 11 sacks, 19.5 tackles for loss, and six forced fumbles to go with two fumble recoveries in 2024. Parker was also named to the Nagurski Trophy and and Bednarik Award watch lists. Brown, a 6-foot-2, 235-pound linebacker, is coming off a true freshman season in which he played in 12 games (six starts) and made 80 tackles with 11.5 tackles for loss and five sacks. He was previously named to the preseason Butkus Award watch list along with senior Wade Woodaz. Miller is set to enter his fourth season as an anchor of the offensive line and was previously named to the Outland Trophy watch list. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound lineman has started all 41 games for the Tigers at right tackle since his freshman season in 2022.

Detroit Tigers in rain delay vs. Chicago White Sox at Rate Field. When will game start?
CHICAGO — The Detroit Tigers have been impacted by rain for the second day in a row. The Tigers and Chicago White Sox have been hit with a rain delay before the start of the second of three games in the series Tuesday, Aug. 12, at Rate Field, with rain expected until 8 p.m. This rain delay occurred less than 24 hours after a 63-minute rain delay in the ninth inning Monday, Aug. 11. First pitch was initially scheduled for 7:40 p.m. It's unclear when the game will begin. "It's spotty," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said before Tuesday's rain delay. "I think we're going to play. It's a matter of when this next cell hits us. There's been some downpours in the last 24 hours. The path to our dugout was full last night within five minutes after the game. It's supposed to be clear enough for us to get the game in, but not clear enough for us to take batting practice." After Tuesday's game, the Tigers and White Sox will play at 2:10 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 13, in the series finale. For Wednesday's game, the Tigers are expected to deploy a bullpen-only game, likely using right-hander Troy Melton (and possibly left-hander Brant Hurter) as bulk relievers.

Auburn receives votes in first AP Poll of season
The Auburn Tigers may enter the 2025 season with higher expectations in-house, but the voters around the country, at least for the time being, don't see Hugh Freeze's squad as a top 25 contender. Auburn was unranked in the first AP Poll of the college football season, marking the fifth straight year the Tigers have failed to crack the top 25. Auburn was listed among the programs that received votes, but their 10 nods were well behind the likes of BYU (156), Utah (144), and opening opponent Baylor (132) in the race to receive a ranking. The Tigers were one of 24 teams to receive at least one vote in the initial poll. Hugh Freeze's team was also one of only two SEC programs (Missouri, 33) to receive votes without earning a spot in the top 25. 10 other programs in the conference were awarded a spot in the top 25, with Texas (1) leading the way in front of Georgia (5), Alabama (8), LSU (9), South Carolina (13), Florida (15), Oklahoma (18), Texas A&M (19), Ole Miss (21), and Tennessee (24). The 10 ranked SEC programs led the way among all conferences, with the BIG 10 (6) coming in a distant second. While Auburn surely is disappointed with their lack of a ranking in either the AP or Coaches Poll, the Tigers could find themselves in the top 25 with an opening night win on the road against Baylor followed by a pair of victories against Ball State and South Alabama at home.
