Oregon Football QB target Bryson Beaver impresses among Elite 11 Finals standouts
When it comes to the recruiting world, there's one player who has seemingly dominated the recent buzz for the Oregon Ducks, particularly when it comes to the quarterback position.
That player is 4-star QB Bryson Beaver, who has seen his recruitment skyrocket over the last week.
Rated a three-star commit to the Boise State Broncos a week ago, Beaver has since seen his rating rise to a four-star after being offered by the Ducks. He has taken a couple of visits to SEC schools after receiving offers from the Ole Miss Rebels and Alabama Crimson Tide. He also scheduled an official visit to Oregon for this coming weekend, and is now predicted to land with the Ducks according to a new Crystal Ball prediction from 247Sports' Blair Angulo.
While those things may take place in the coming days or weeks, the focus right now for Beaver is the Elite 11 Finals, a QB camp in Los Angeles. The first day of competition took place on Tuesday night, and Beaver reportedly stood out as one of the best passers, being named among the top performers, per On3.
"If Day 1 was any indication, Bryson Beaver is one of the top arm talents at the Elite 11 Finals. Beaver's arm strength stood out, particularly as the workout wore on," On3's Charles Power wrote. "It took Beaver a little while to get going, but he was more and more comfortable throughout the night and delivered some of the better throws we saw on the evening. Towards the end of the workout, we felt he was throwing with arguably the most velocity of all the finalists."
As Beaver continues to perform at a high level at Elite 11 and throughout the rest of the offseason, interest is going to grow. However, the Ducks appear to be in a great spot to land a commitment from him in the near future.
The Ducks are also in on five-star QB Ryder Lyons, who took an official to Eugene last weekend. Lyons is going to decide between Oregon and the BYU Cougars, but he is planning to take an LDS mission out of high school, so he is more like a member of the 2027 class.

WNBA upgrades Marina Mabrey technical foul from Caitlin Clark shove
WNBA upgrades Marina Mabrey technical foul from Caitlin Clark shove In the aftermath of Tuesday night's chippy Indiana Fever win over the Connecticut Sun, the WNBA has issued upgrades to multiple fouls given throughout the game, highlighted by Marina Mabrey's technical foul from her shove of Caitlin Clark. According to ESPN's Alexa Philippou, the league has upgraded Sun center Marina Mabrey's technical foul she received after she shoved Caitlin Clark to the court following the former Hawkeye getting poked in the eye by guard Jacy Sheldon. The retroactive upgrade elevates the penalty from a simple technical foul to a Flagrant 2 penalty, which also carries a standard fine in accordance with the league's rulebook. Additionally, the league office fined Indiana guard Sophie Cunningham separately for her hard foul late in the game involving Sheldon and Sun guard Lindsay Allen. In total, the league determined that no players involved in any of the altercations from Tuesday night's game will receive suspensions. Indiana's next game will see them travel to Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Thursday to take on Kate Martin and the Golden State Valkyries for the first time. That contest will begin at 9 p.m. CT and be broadcast on Prime Video.

Where Alabama commit Jett Thomalla sits in 2025 Elite 11 Finals Day 1 rankings
Where Alabama commit Jett Thomalla sits in 2025 Elite 11 Finals Day 1 rankings This past Tuesday, the Alabama Crimson Tide landed a commitment from 2026 quarterback prospect Jett Thomalla, who flipped to the program from Iowa State. A four-star prospect, Thomalla is one of the nation's top 2026 quarterbacks, and as a result, is one of the numerous names who is also out in Los Angeles, California this week participating in the 2025 Elite 11 Finals. An event that Alabama is certainly familiar with as well, Thomalla is apparently impressing against some of the best high school quarterbacks in the country, as the Crimson Tide's newest commitment currently sits in the No. 9 spot in the official Elite 11 Finals Day 1 rankings. A multi-day event lasting from June 17-19, Thomalla is looking to become the third consecutive Alabama commit to win Elite 11 MVP, joining Keelon Russell (2024) and Julian Sayin (2023). Sayin won the Elite 11 MVP while he was an Alabama commit, and later transferred to Ohio State. Other Alabama commits to win Elite 11 MVP include Tua Tagovailoa (2016), Blake Barnett (2014), and Brodie Croyle (2000).

Here's who Tahaad Pettiford and the Auburn Tigers will face in its 2025-26 SEC schedule
Here's who Tahaad Pettiford and the Auburn Tigers will face in its 2025-26 SEC schedule Here's a look at the path Auburn will take on its journey to another SEC championship? The Auburn Tigers will look to repeat as SEC champions this season, but will need to do so with a new-look roster. Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl successfully swayed guard Tahaad Pettiford away from the NBA draft, doing so by building a strong rotation around him with transfer portal pieces. The new-look Auburn Tigers are poised to win its third SEC regular season crown since 2022 and its third SEC Tournament title since 2019. Wednesday, the Tigers learned their path to their goals as the SEC revealed the conference schedule for each of its 16 member programs. This season, Auburn will face Alabama, Arkansas, and Ole Miss in a home-and-home series. Auburn went 4-1 against those foes in 2024-25, going 2-1 at home and 2-0 on the road. Auburn took down Alabama in Tuscaloosa, 94-85, on Feb. 15 before the Crimson Tide got revenge on the Tigers on March 8 at Neville Arena, 93-91 in overtime. Auburn smashed Ole Miss in Oxford, 92-82, with the Rebels playing the Tigers much closer near the end of the regular season, but fell 62-57. Auburn faced Arkansas once last season, defeating the Razorbacks, 67-60, at Neville Arena in February. Auburn will play a rather tame home schedule by hosting Kentucky, LSU, South Carolina, Texas, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt inside Neville Arena, and will face challenges by playing Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia on the road. Auburn will get a shot at defending national champion Florida, who ended a long home-winning streak last season on Feb. 8, and again crushed the Tigers' dreams in the Final Four, at Exactech Arena in Gainesville. The exact dates, times, and network designations of these games will be revealed at a later date. Here is a breakdown of Auburn's 2025-26 SEC schedule: Home-and-Away Alabama Arkansas Ole Miss Home-only Kentucky LSU South Carolina Texas Texas A&M Vanderbilt Away-only Florida Georgia Mississippi State Missouri Oklahoma Tennessee Contact/Follow us @TheAuburnWire on X (Twitter), and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Auburn news, notes, and opinions.
