Nebraska extends offer to rising Illinois safety
Nebraska football extended an offer to 2027 defensive back Tavares Harrington on Saturday. He made the announcement on social media.
Harrington is not ranked in the 247Sports Rankings. However, he does have a growing offer sheet, with seven scholarships in total.
In addition to the Huskers, Louisville and Missouri are two of the more prominent schools that have extended scholarships. He took an unofficial visit to Louisville on March 6 and an unofficial visit to Missouri on March 8.
Currently, the 2027 Nebraska football recruiting class has no commitments. However, that could change soon, with multiple visits and offers on the table for the program.
The Huskers have been heavily recruiting the state of Illinois in recent weeks. Harrington would be a solid addition to a defense with a bright future and several impact playmakers.
Truly blessed and honored to receive a offer from @HuskerFootball @CoachEJbarthel @CoachWilliams_7 #cornhuskers @Jordanlynch06 @CaravanFootball @EDGYTIM @LemmingReport @GregSmithRivals @AllenTrieu @DracoSmith23 @SWiltfong_ @adamgorney @On3Recruits @Phouly31 pic.twitter.com/JtmgSsHDUt

Oregon State opens College World Series with 4-3 walk-off win over Louisville
OMAHA, Neb. -- Aiva Arquette scored from first base on Gavin Turley's drive into the left-field corner in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Oregon State a 4-3 walk-off victory over Louisville in the College World Series on Friday night. The Cardinals had tied it with two runs in the top half before Oregon State recorded its fourth walk-off win of the season and second in four games. The No. 8 national seed Beavers (48-14-1), back in Omaha for the first time since they won the national title in 2018, will play Coastal Carolina on Sunday after the Cardinals (40-22) meet Arizona in an elimination game. Arquette, a projected first-round pick in the MLB amateur draft next month, was having a rough night in the field before delivering his third base hit of the game with one out in the ninth. Turley then sent the first pitch from Jake Schweitzer (4-2) on a line into the corner. Left fielder Zion Rose tried to cut the ball off but couldn't come up with it, allowing Arquette to be waved home. 'It was cool because it's the same thing every at-bat for us — go up and compete and hit the ball hard,' Turley said. 'Knowing we had the top of the lineup up, I knew we had a chance to do something dangerous.' Turley was drenched with a bucket of sports drink during the on-field celebration. In the Beavers' super regional opener last week, Turley scored the winning run on AJ Singer's walk-off single in a 5-4, 10-inning win over Florida State. Louisville was left to regroup. 'They took advantage of an unfortunate situation for us, just a little hiccup here or there and you get walked off in the ninth,' Cardinals coach Dan McDonnell said. 'Must have been a great game for everybody to watch and enjoy. A lot of good baseball. We came up on the short end.' The Cardinals, who trailed 3-1, stranded runners at third base in the sixth and seventh innings and couldn't score after getting their leadoff man on base in the eighth. They broke through to tie it in the ninth against Kellan Oakes (5-0). Rose tripled to left when the ball got past Turley and rolled to the wall and Tague Davis followed with an RBI single. Alex Alicea reached on shortstop Arquette's throwing error and ended up on third when catcher Wilson Weber lost his grip on the ball as he tried to get Alicea at second. Kamau Neighbors drove in Alicea for the tying run with his liner to center before Oakes got a strikeout and groundout to end the inning. Oregon State starter Dax Whitney was nearly untouchable the first two times through Louisville's order. He mixed mid-90 mph fastballs with knee-buckling curveballs and changeups to strike out eight of the first 11 batters he faced, and the only hits against him through five innings were a couple balls poked through the infield. The 6-foot-5 right-hander from Blackfoot, Idaho, finished with nine strikeouts and left with one out in the sixth and two runners on base. Louisville starter Patrick Forbes matched zeroes with Whitney through three innings, fanning five of the first nine he faced. He finished with 10 strikeouts and was replaced by Justin West with bases loaded in the sixth after he issued his only walk. West ended the inning with two strikeouts, but not before Canon Reeder made it 3-1 when Alicea couldn't pick up his sharply hit grounder. Oregon State traditionally has not done things the easy way in the CWS. The Beavers lost their openers in five of their previous seven appearances. In 2018, when they won their third national championship, they had to win six elimination games. This year, the Beavers won four win-or-go-home games in regionals and another in the super regionals. Avoiding the loser's bracket is a welcome change. 'It definitely is nice to not have to go through that from the get-go,' catcher Wilson Weber said.

Men's College World Series 2025: Coastal Carolina, Oregon State notch wins, LSU on pace for record Jell-O shot sales
The 2025 Men's College World Series kicked off Friday, with No. 13 Coastal Carolina earning the first win of the tournament over Arizona and No. 8 Oregon State outlasting Louisville in the late game. Oregon State 4, Louisville 3 Oregon State had a win in hand entering the ninth inning — and didn't let some misadventures stop them from advancing in the winner's bracket. Advertisement Gavin Turley hit a walk-off double to give his team a 4-3 win after the Beavers blew a two-run lead in the top of the ninth. Aiva Arquette, one of the top prospects for the 2025 MLB Draft, set it up with a one-out single, then motored first-to-home on Turley's line drive into left field. Turley and Arquette were the heroes of the bottom of the ninth and the goats of the top. Defensive blunders from both players allowed Louisville to tie the game, with a missed dive from Turley turning into a triple and a bad throw from Arquette giving the Cardinals another man on third, who later scored. The miscues nearly spoiled a great outing from star freshman Dax Whitney, who struck out nine across 5 1/3 innings while allowing three hits and a single run. The lanky right-hander with big heat and a bigger curveball outlasted the Cardinals' Patrick Forbes in a battle of future MLB Draft picks. Whitney was ranked as the No. 56 prospect of the 2024 MLB Draft by MLB Pipeline. The No. 57 prospect, Boston Bateman, got $2.5 million from the San Diego Padres. Whitney has more than helped his stock this season and now projects as a future first-round pick after earning second-team Freshman All-America honors. Advertisement Curiously, the first 15 hits of this game were all singles, with Rose getting the first extra-base hit of the game with his leadoff triple in the ninth inning. The Beavers got their first runs when they opened the bottom of the fourth with four straight singles. Louisville got one run back in the sixth with its own rally but then handed Oregon State an insurance run when shortstop Alex Alicea booted a potential double-play ball with the bases loaded. With the victory, Oregon State advances to face Coastal Carolina in the next round, while Louisville will get Arizona in the loser's bracket on Sunday. Coastal Carolina 7, Arizona 4 The Chanticleers, who came into the CWS with the best record in Division I, overcame a 4-4 tie with a few clutch doubles in the bottom of the eighth to keep their 24-game winning streak alive. Advertisement It was a quiet first inning for both teams. But in the second inning, Coastal Carolina had a huge opportunity, loading the bases off a muffed infield catch by Arizona pitcher Owen Kramkowski. Outfielder Wells Sykes took advantage, hitting a two-run single to put the Chanticleers on the board. Arizona came alive in the top of the fourth, starting with a solo homer from shortstop Mason White. Then the Wildcats hit back-to-back doubles, sending catcher Adonys Guzman home to tie the game 2-2. In the bottom of the fifth, a single from Chanticleers right fielder Blagen Pado sent second baseman Blake Barthol home for a 3-2 lead. Coastal Carolina is known for getting hit by pitches; the team has been hit by an NCAA-leading 170 pitches this season. But in the sixth inning, it was Arizona who took advantage of getting hit. Chanticleers reliever Cameron Flukey hit three batters, allowing the Wildcats to load the bases and score a game-tying run before they recorded an out. Advertisement Then a grounder from second baseman Garen Caulfield sent White home to give Arizona a 4-3 lead. In the bottom of the sixth, Chanticleers catcher Caden Bodine drove in a run to make it 4-4. The two teams stayed locked in a tie for the next two innings off some strong defensive play, with Flukey settling in. In the bottom of the eighth, with the Chanticleers sitting on two outs, it looked like the game would come down to the final inning. Then Coastal Carolina's offense broke through. It started with Sykes getting on second on a hit that landed right on the line. Left fielder Sebastian Alexander then hit an RBI single to send Sykes home for a 5-4 lead. Another huge double from Barthol sent Alexander and Bodine, who was intentionally walked, home to give the Chanticleers a 7-4 lead heading into the ninth. Arizona wasn't done yet, as designated hitter Andrew Cain earned a double with some bold running, and first baseman Tommy Splaine got a base hit. But a huge double-play ended the game and sent Coastal Carolina to the winners' bracket. Advertisement The men's College World Series has one of the most entertaining side plots of any NCAA championship: the Jell-O shot competition at Rocco's, where patrons compete annually to see which school's fan base can consume the most Jell-O shots. LSU, which set the record with 68,888 Jell-O shots purchased in 2023, is off to an early lead after the first day of the MCWS, with a monstrous 4,410 shots as of 10 p.m. CT. That tally is far ahead of last year's pace, setting LSU up for another record victory. However, Murray State and Coastal Carolina are also on a roll, coming in at 2,180 and 1,753 shots, respectively, after a back-and-forth Friday. Regardless of who wins, all three schools are currently on pace to break LSU's 2023 record.

Gavin Turley delivers walk-off hit for Oregon State at College World Series
Gavin Turley delivers walk-off hit for Oregon State at College World Series Show Caption Hide Caption Which NCAA baseball teams could blow up the bracket The Montgomery Advertiser's Adam Cole and The Southwest Times Record's Jackson Fuller break down who could wreck the tournament bracket. Omaha magic arrived on Day 1 of the College World Series, and it is all thanks to Oregon State left fielder Gavin Turley. Facing the first pitch of his at-bat in the bottom of the ninth inning with a runner on first, Turley laced a line drive down into the left field corner to score Aiva Arquette and give No. 8 Oregon State a 4-3 walk-off win against Louisville at the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. It is the first walk-off win for the Beavers in their eight trips to the College World Series, according to the ESPN broadcast. REQUIRED READING: Oregon State-Louisville baseball score: Highlights from Beavers' College World Series win "Trying to hit something hard. Hit something over the plate, "Turley told ESPN's Kris Budden after the game. "Didn't try to do too much, to be honest. Just put a good swing on the ball in the zone. He added on the feel of his heartbeat after the walk-off: "It's off the charts. Can't believe I'm standing here. I'm still out of breath. That was awesome." Turley's heroics in Omaha at Charles Schwab Field Omaha didn't come without a wacky top of the ninth inning, which he played a factor into. Leading 3-1 going into the ninth inning, Turley attempted to make a diving catch on a live drive hit to him by Louisville left fielder Zion Rose. However, Turley misplayed the ball, allowing Rose to begin the inning with a lead-off triple. Rose was then brought home one batter later by Tague Davis, who beat the shift with a single up the middle. Kamau Neighbors plated Alex Alicea to even the score at 3-3 on a single up the middle, after Alicea reached third on a two-error play by Arquette and Oregon State catcher Wilson Weber. REQUIRED READING: College World Series bracket: Scores, schedule, teams, times, TV channel for CWS Earlier in the game, Turley set a new Oregon State single-postseason program record for most RBIs that his head coach, Mitch Canham, used to hold. Turley's first RBI of the night came on a groundout to second that allowed Trent Caraway to come across home for the first run of the night. The meeting between the Beavers and the Cardinals was the first since both teams met up in the 2013 College World Series, a game that Oregon State also won. Next up for Oregon State will be No. 13 Coastal Carolina, which defeated Arizona 7-4 earlier in the day to extend its nation-leading 24-game win streak, on June 15 at 7 p.m. ET. A win against the Chanticleers would advance the Beavers to the CWS semifinals. The USA TODAY app gets you to the heart of the news — fast.
