Report: QB Drew Pyne heading to Bowling Green, his fourth school
Coming out of high school in Connecticut, Pyne was listed as a four-star prospect and the No. 8 pro-style quarterback in the Class of 2020 by the 247Sports composite. He committed to Notre Dame out of high school.
Pyne, 24, spent three seasons (2020-22) with the Fighting Irish, then transferred to Arizona State in 2023 and to Missouri in 2024.
Overall, he's appeared in 25 games, thrown for 2,921 yards and has 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He is 9-3 as a starter, and Bowling Green has an opening for a starter.
He visited Bowling Green and new coach Eddie George over the weekend.
"The opportunity to go play for Eddie George, a returning offensive line that's strong and experienced," Pyne told ESPN about what drew him to the Falcons. "And a team that's very good, played in three straight bowl games and can compete for a championship."
Former coach Scot Loeffler joined the coaching staff of the Philadelphia Eagles, leaving the opening for George, formerly the head coach at Tennessee State. George and offensive coordinator Travis Partridge run a spread-style offense.
"The sell was the team is very gritty, works hard and wants to win games," Pyne said.
Pyne, a graduate transfer, entered the portal last week and cannot take part in spring practice with Bowling Green because he already has done so with Missouri. ESPN said he will enroll at his new school on May 18 with two years of eligibility remaining.

Three homers send Royals past Rangers for 5th straight win
August 20 - Bobby Witt Jr. clubbed his 100th career homer, Vinnie Pasquantino and Mike Yastrzemski also went deep, and the Kansas City Royals won their fifth straight game, beating the visiting Texas Rangers 5-2 on Tuesday. Pasquantino and Yastrzemski each homered in a second consecutive contest for the Royals, who have taken the first two contests in the current three-game series and are 7-1 on their 10-game homestand. Kansas City improved to 5-0 vs. Texas this season. After the Royals snapped a 2-2 tie when Jonathan India was hit by a pitch with bases loaded in the seventh, Witt broke the game open with a two-run homer, well over the center field fence off Cole Winn, an inning later. At 25 years, 66 days old, Witt is the youngest Royal to reach 100 homers. He became the fourth player ever with at least 100 home runs and 100 steals in his first four major league seasons, joining Bobby Bonds, Darryl Strawberry and Julio Rodriguez. Kansas City starter Seth Lugo yielded only two runs, on solo homers to Corey Seager and Joc Pederson, in 6 1/3 innings. He permitted three hits and two walks while striking out five. Lugo dueled with Texas' Merrill Kelly, whose only hits allowed in six innings were two homers. He fanned three without issuing a walk. Losers in 10 of 12, the Rangers managed just four hits on the night. With two outs and nobody on in the first inning, Seager cleared the wall just to the right of center field. However, Pasquantino delivered his own two-out homer over the right-center-field wall in the bottom of the frame. Texas went back ahead in the fourth when Pederson turned on a Lugo pitch and sent it well into the right field seats. Two innings later, Yastrzemski went deep to right field with two outs, tying the game again. Kansas City took the lead in the seventh when Pasquantino doubled off Hoby Milner (1-3) and made it to third on back-to-back infield singles from Maikel Garcia and Randal Grichuk. Winn took over on the mound and plunked India to bring home the tiebreaking run. Winn then fanned John Rave and got Kyle Isbel bounced into an inning-ending 3-2-3 double play. Kansas City's Angel Zerpa (4-1) threw 1 1/3 innings in relief, and John Schreiber handled the ninth inning for his first save of the year. --Field Level Media

Chiefs player Felix Anudike-Uzomah to miss entire NFL season
By MAX WINTERS, US DEPUTY SPORTS EDITOR The Kansas City Chiefs have placed Felix Anudike-Uzomah on injured reserve, meaning he will miss the entire NFL season. The defensive end, a former first-round draft pick, will be sidelined for the foreseeable future with a hamstring injury. He picked up the injury during Friday's preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks while chasing down rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe. Anudike-Uzomah eventually pulled up on the sideline. 'That's a tough thing,' Reid said Monday. 'He's worked hard... It is disappointing for him, I know, because he works so stinking hard.' It is a major blow to Patrick Mahomes and his teammates' hopes of regaining their Super Bowl crown after February's heavy loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in New Orleans. Anudike-Uzomah, who grew up 13 miles from Arrowhead Stadium, has played in 34 games for the Chiefs, starting three times. He has made eight tackles for loss, three sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. His career highlight so far was a sack on C.J. Stroud in their playoff win over the Houston Texans last season. The Chiefs also waived running back Elijah Young, re-signed defensive end Owen Carney and added linebacker Xander Mueller on Monday. The reigning AFC champions did have some good news last week, however, when it was announced that Rashee Rice will be available for the first four games of the season. The wide receiver will have a disciplinary hearing with the NFL on September 30 in New York after causing a chain-reaction crash last year on a Dallas highway that left multiple people injured. Rice still has to serve a 30-day jail sentence in the future for. He already agreed to pay more than $1million in a settlement with the victims. Rice is returning from a knee injury that cut short his sophomore season in the NFL following a standout rookie campaign. He would be eligible to play the first four games, including a Super Bowl rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2, before his hearing.
