Watch: Breck Kolojay announces college commitment

Yahooa day ago
IMG Academy (Florida) four-star offensive lineman Breck Kolojay accumulated nearly 40 scholarship offers during his celebrated recruitment.
But he'll narrow it down to just one school Friday at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET when he announces his college commitment.
WATCH:
The 6-foot-5 1/2, 320-pound lineman is down to a final five of Colorado, Georgia, Miami, Oklahoma and USC - all of whom received an official visit in the late spring/early summer.
Kolojay, who has position versatility, is rated the nation's No. 332 overall prospect and No. 30 interior offensive lineman by On3/Rivals.
He is believed to be a Trojans lean entering the final hours, but anything can happen, especially with contenders Colorado, Miami and Oklahoma still in play.
For USC, Kolojay would represent a major win, as the program has significant needs remaining up front and the IMG Academy star has the requisite size and experience to potentially contribute early.
Here's what 247Sports had to say about him, in part, as a prospect:
"Advanced offensive line prospect with college-ready size that's tracking to be a two-year starter at IMG Academy. ...Stands tall with a frame that's pushing 6-foot-6 and carrying over 300 pounds, but lacks the reach that everyone desires to cover the corner. ...At his best working in tight quarters where he can time up his strikes and dance with his lower half. ...Will unlock a mean streak and take assignments into the turf. ...Could push for playing time relatively early as he will arrive with a higher floor like many of the IMG Academy offensive linemen that came before him."

Celtics trade pitch finds ideal Kristaps Porzingis replacement by moving Simons

The Boston Celtics are still looking for ways to shed salary, and that could come in a few different ways. If Brad Stevens could also do that in a way to improve the rest of his roster, it's possible that things could look great for the Celtics in the short and long term. When recently looking for a few trade ideas around for Anfernee Simons, Matt Moore of FanSided proposed a few intriguing ones. Perhaps his most intriguing, however, was a deal with the Chicago Bulls for Nikola Vucevic and Ayo Dosunmu. MORE: Boston Celtics get: Nikola Vucevic, Ayo Dosunmu Chicago Bulls get: Anfernee Simons, Xavier Tillman 'The Bulls have a logjam of guards, so adding Simons is a little curious. But think of this way. In adding Simons, they can leverage him against Coby White, who is also on an expiring deal. The player who comes out on top gets extended. 'That, along with the Giddey extension, sets their direction for the long-term in the backcourt while Matas Buzelis develops... The Celtics shave off another $1.4 million off their cap space, while continuing to clean the books for 2026, and add a dogged defender in Dosunmu who fits their system better than Simons. Think of what Dosunmu will learn as Derrick White's understudy,' he wrote. Vucevic would be an interesting piece for the Celtics, as he has a somewhat similar skill set to Kristaps Porzingis. While Porzingis is much better, and tough to disagree with, Vucevic can also make shots from beyond the arc, so in that sense, they have some similarities. Dosunmu could also be a decent piece, and perhaps someone who could run the second unit, depending on what the Celtics want to do.

Report: Packers RB Emanuel Wilson avoids serious knee injury

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson avoided a serious knee injury at Friday's practice and shouldn't miss much time, according to reporting from Bill Huber of Wilson, the team's backup running back behind Josh Jacobs last season, went down awkwardly while attempting to catch a pass during a team period on Friday. Despite initial concerns of a major injury, it appears Wilson avoided a worst-case scenario and will eventually return during training camp. Huber described the injury as a "tweak" and reported there is "no damage" inside the knee. The Packers are already without running back MarShawn Lloyd, who injured his groin during the team's first padded practice of the week and is expected to miss time into next week. Wilson rushed 103 times for 502 yards and four touchdowns and caught 11 passes for 48 yards and another touchdown across 17 games last season. The Packers also have veteran Chris Brooks, rookies Jalen White and Amir Johnson and recent addition Israel Abanikanda at running back behind Jacobs entering the team's Family Night practice at Lambeau Field on Saturday. The Packers open the preseason next Saturday at Lambeau Field against the New York Jets.

USC continues to grow 2026 recruiting class, lands four-star OL Breck Kolojay

USC football already has a loaded recruiting class in place for the 2026 cycle. By no means does that suggest the Trojans are done adding to it. On Friday, USC picked up another big-time commitment, landing four-star offensive lineman Breck Kolojay. Kolojay is originally from Littleton, Colorado but attends IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. 247Sports Composite ranks him as the No. 325 overall player and the No. 21 interior offensive lineman in the class of 2026. 'Just the trust I have in the staff and what they are building, and the people they are bringing in, it's all really special,' Kolojay told 247Sports. 'I think all of the people in the building will play a huge part in my success and development. The opportunity to play in Los Angeles, and in the Big Ten, alongside players I haven't played with in a while and guys I'm playing with now, it's an opportunity. I couldn't say no to.' Kolojay is a big get for new USC offensive lineman coach Zach Hanson. The Trojans have struggled with o-line recruiting in particular for the better part of a decade now, but are doing much better at the position with the 2026 class. USC has built up a ton of momentum on the recruiting trail during the offseason. Now it is up to Lincoln Riley and the coaching staff to carry that momentum with them into the field this fall.
