It's way too early to make a call here, but Oregon is setting the pace for the touted 2027 defensive lineman. Brewster made his first visit to Eugene last month and the Ducks continue to set the tempo in this recruitment.

Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma have all hosted the four-star DL and will continue to stay on Brewster moving forward.
Prediction: Oregon

Brown is one of the country's best out of the Sooner State and is coveted by the Sooners in addition to college football bluebloods around the country. Brown has made more trips to the Palace early on and we like where Oklahoma stands long-term here.

The Longhorns just put an offer on the table for Caldwell, who's been down to the Forty Acres a ton over the years and will return again on June 1. Texas is battling Texas A&M, LSU and Oregon for the blue-chipper in the 2027 Rivals250 and has an early leg up moving forward.

I have an early FutureCast on the Sooners in the race for the four-star edge defender. Alabama and others have closed the gap significantly after Ford made visits across the country this spring. Oklahoma has made Ford a top priority in this 2026 class.
Prediction: Oklahoma
This has the makings of a Red River recruitment and we give the slightest edge to the Longhorns. Mayo was part of Texas' star-studded junior day earlier this spring and has continued trend high in this recruitment.
Prediction: Texas
The finish line is in sight for Scruggs. If a decision were made today, I like where Clemson sits. Penn State and Michigan are both after the Virginia offensive lineman, who will also officially visit Georgia last before locking in his commitment.

Williams is coveted by programs around the country, but the in-state programs have an early leg on the four-star linebacker from Arlington, Texas.
SMU has hosted Williams more than any program to date, and the Mustangs are standing strong early on.

Reggie Miller's Reaction To Tyrese Haliburton's Game-Winner Against Thunder Goes Viral
Reggie Miller's Reaction To Tyrese Haliburton's Game-Winner Against Thunder Goes Viral originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Tyrese Haliburton sent the basketball world into a frenzy by hitting the game-winner for the Indiana Pacers against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Pacers icon Reggie Miller was watching the action unfold from his house with his family, and he shared their reaction to the game-winner on Instagram. Advertisement "I think this was all of Pacers Nation at the closing of Game 1!!! Well done, Tyrese Haliburton." That might have been the reaction for a majority of the neutrals following the game as well. It was a magical moment on the biggest stage by a player who is making a habit of hitting big shots in the playoffs. Haliburton has now made four go-ahead or game-tying shots in the final five seconds of regulation or overtime in this postseason. This fourth one was a long two-pointer over Thunder guard Cason Wallace that put the Pacers up 111-110 with 0.3 seconds remaining. It was their first lead of the night and would be the final score as well. Advertisement Prior to this, Haliburton had made the game-tying buzzer-beater at the end of regulation against the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Miller was calling that game for TNT at Madison Square Garden, and Haliburton decided to pay tribute by recreating his iconic choke celebration after that shot. Haliburton thought he had won the game with a three-pointer, but realized later that his toe was on the line. The Pacers would go on to win in overtime, to spare his blushes. Miller certainly was a happy man that night, and he probably wishes he was calling the Finals as well. Getting to watch the games with his family and having moments like this is quite special, too, though. For his career, Haliburton has now made five go-ahead or game-tying shots in the final five seconds of regulation or overtime in the playoffs. That is tied with Miller for the second-most since the 1997 playoffs, with only LeBron James (eight) ahead of them. Advertisement It's safe to say that the Pacers have found their heir apparent to Miller. It will be interesting to see if Haliburton can pull off what Miller couldn't, which is to win the title. Miller led the Pacers to the 2000 NBA Finals, where they took on a Los Angeles Lakers team led by Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. They battled hard in that series but would ultimately lose in six games. Haliburton's Pacers have already done something that Miller's didn't. That team had fallen down 2-0 to the Lakers and never led in the series, while this one is up 1-0. Belief is growing among fans that this could be the year that they finally win their first NBA title. Miller and his family's reaction to this win isn't the only one that has gone viral. A clip of fans at Indianapolis International Airport going wild after Haliburton's shot spread like wildfire on social media. Sports can bring people together in a way that few things can. Seeing all these strangers celebrating together was quite special. They'd be hoping to celebrate again when the Pacers take on the Thunder in Game 2 at Paycom Center on Sunday at 8 PM ET.

Why nonalcoholic beer is on track to become the world's second-largest beer category
Why nonalcoholic beer is on track to become the world's second-largest beer category Show Caption Hide Caption Debate over limiting alcohol service on flights gains attention | Cruising Altitude Ryanair's CEO has sparked debate by suggesting a strict limit on alcohol service at airlines and airports. Could this policy really take off? Justin Brown purchased his first nonalcoholic beer last winter, after spotting a six-pack of Athletic Brewing Company cans on sale at his local grocery store in Salt Lake City. Brown leads an active lifestyle filled with rock climbing, trail runs and chasing after his two kids, but the 37-year-old craft beer fan said he's increasingly health conscious as he grows older. The Athletic Brewing Co. beer's low calorie count – just 45 per can – was a major draw, along with having the chance to enjoy the taste of beer for less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. Brown said he still enjoys his craft beers, but nonalcoholic beers have worked their way into the rotation. '(It) has been top of mind as I grow into my late 30s, going to 40s, making sure I'm here for my children and taking care of myself,' Brown told USA TODAY while at a public pool, sipping on a nonalcoholic beer and watching his kids swim. 'I think people, as millennials, we're all trying to stay young, stay fit, stay healthy, and the nonalcoholic beer trend kind of fits within that ethos.' It's a trend taking off across global markets. Beverage industry analysis firm IWSR found nonalcoholic beer volume jumped 9% in 2024 despite a 1% dip in global beverage alcohol volume. At this pace, nonalcoholic beer is forecast to surpass ale as the second-largest beer category by volume worldwide this year, behind only lagers. 'I would have expected that as alcohol holistically struggles in this current climate, this nonalcoholic beer at the very least would slow its growth. And yet we're not seeing that," Marten Lodewijks, President of IWSR U.S., told USA TODAY. As of 2024, nonalcoholic beer ranked No. 3 by IWSR by making up 2% of global volume, outranking wheat beers (1%) and stouts (1%). The beer faces a colossal gap below lagers, which is by far the largest beer category at 92% of global volume. Nonalcoholic beer sales are up Nonalcoholic beer sales have been on an upward trend since 2018, led by major markets like the U.S., Japan and Germany, according to IWSR data. Between 2019 and 2024, nonalcoholic beer volume in the U.S. grew 175%, propelling the country's ranking from the category's sixth-largest market to third-largest. It's gotten popular enough for Glen Fox, Anheuser-Busch endowed professor of malting and brewing sciences at the University of California, Davis, to add nonalcoholic beer to his teaching program this year. "We're brewing our own nonalcoholic beer for the students to look at, to get that experience," Fox said. "We want to be sure that we understand the process, educate the new brewers, so that they have a good understanding before they go and get a job in the industry." Why is nonalcoholic beer becoming more popular? Experts pointed to waning alcohol sales and growing health concerns as major drivers. Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy in January released an advisory warning of the direct link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk. That same month, advertising and sales measurement technology firm NCSolutions released a survey that found 49% of Americans planned to drink less in 2025, up from 41% in 2024. With roughly 0.5% alcohol by volume among most brands, nonalcoholic beer has proved to be an appealing alternative. Especially as the messaging around nonalcoholic beer has shifted to broaden its appeal, according to Dave Williams, vice president of analytics and insight for Bump Williams Consulting, a Connecticut firm that specializes in the alcoholic beverage industry. No longer is the drink viewed as the humdrum option for people who can't consume alcohol, whether that's because they're in recovery or pregnant, he said. "They broke down the stigma surrounding holding a nonalcoholic beer or beverage. ... There is a whole crop of consumers out there that are showing interest in this nonalcoholic alternative," Williams said. 'Now, you can still enjoy beer, feel like you're part of the moment, part of the group, part of the occasion, without having to incorporate any of your perceived objections or obstacles to the alcoholic side of it.' What are Americans drinking in 2025? Consumers are chasing moderation. And unlike regular beer, Lodewijks noted nonalcoholic beers can be sipped during a lunch break at work or – as demonstrated by Brown – public settings that are typically alcohol-free. More variety has likely helped, with new entrants like Athletic Brewing Co., which launched in 2018, and nonalcoholic alternatives to most of the top beer brands, including Heineken 0.0 and Corona Non-alcoholic. Fox of the University of California, Davis, said the taste has also come a long way compared with nonalcoholic beers sold 50 years ago. 'The process at the time removed some flavor when they removed the alcohol,' he said. 'But with the engineering and the way we can brew these now, that's a thing of the past. There are really tasty, flavorsome, nonalcoholic beers.' Fox warned that if choosing nonalcoholic beer, it's better to buy canned or bottled. The alcohol in beer acts as a preservative that prevents the growth of microbes; with less alcohol, nonalcoholic beer served on draft can be more susceptible to spoilage and pathogens. 'You're relying on the pub to keep their lines clean,' he said. 'Be careful getting if you're getting it off the tap. Ask questions about how old it is, when they cleaned their line.'
