Michigan State women's basketball adding Montana State transfer Marah Dykstra
Michigan State women's basketball continues to reload through the transfer portal, where they have already added Purdue transfer Rashunda Jones and Arizona State leading scorer Jalyn Brown. On Wednesday, it was announced that the Spartans will also add Montana State transfer Marah Dykstra to their rebooted roster.
Dykstra was a key member of the 2024-25 Montana State team that won the Big Sky Conference and made it to the NCAA Tournament. She is very familiar with a major MSU rival, Ohio State, who the Bobcats lost to in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
Dykstra, a 6'2" forward who played three seasons at Montana State, averaged 12.4 points and 4.4 rebounds last year for the Bobcats while shooting 46.9-percent from the floor and 82.6-percent from the free-throw line.

We hit 19 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
We've reached 19 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 19 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction. No. 19 Who's wearing it now: WR Tommy Mellott Mellott was one of the Raiders sixth round picks. He played quarterback at Montana State and led the Bobcats to the FCS National title game. But his best shot at the NFL level is as a wide receiver and special teams ace. The learning curve is steep though, so he has a ways to go in his position change. Who wore it best: QB Cotton Davidson Davidson joined the Raiders in 1962. The journeyman QB started the season in place of Tom Flores who was out with Tuberculosis. He and Flores split QB duties over the next two seasons, with Davidson making the Pro Bowl in 1963. They would split duties again in 1966, this time with Flores making the Pro Bowl.

Former Spartan QB named to Manning Award watch list ahead of 2025 season
👀 @katinhouserPreseason honors for QB1@ManningAward A former Michigan State quarterback is gaining some big time preseason steam ahead of the 2025 season. Katin Houser, a now senior at East Carolina, has been named to the 2025 Manning Award Watch List according to an announcement by the Allstate Sugar Bowl. He is one of 27 quarterbacks named to the award's watch list. The Manning Award has been given annually since 2004 to the best collegiate quarterback as judged by the Sugar Bowl Committee. Uniquely, it is the only quarterback award that includes each candidate's postseason-bowl performance in its balloting. After two seasons in East Lansing, Houser moved on to ECU, where he played in nine games last season, completing just over 60-percent of his passes for 2,006 yards and 18 touchdowns, with 11 interceptions. The Pirates will open their 2025 season with a road game against NC State on Thursday, Aug. 28 in a Military Bowl rematch.
