Notre Dame commit Preston Fryzel gets compared to Tyler Eifert
Eifert, of course, played in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Fryzel, who stands 6'4" and weighs 220 pounds, had an average of 18.8 yards per catch at Toledo Central Catholic High School in 2024.
Analyst Tom Flemming has him as a potential four-star player, saying he's as much or more of a wide receiver than a tight end.
Being compared to one of the best tight ends to come out of Notre Dame -- a school dubbed "tight end university" -- in recent years is a pretty good thing for Frenzel.
And a good thing for the Fighting Irish, if the comparison holds up.

Bears sign backup QB Tyson Bagent to a 2-year contract extension through 2027
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears signed backup quarterback Tyson Bagent to a two-year contract extension through the 2027 season on Wednesday. Chicago also signed veteran running back Royce Freeman and placed running back Deion Hankins on injured reserve. Bagent played in four games and threw two passes last season with Caleb Williams starting every game after being drafted with the No. 1 overall pick. But he's made a big impression over two seasons. Undrafted in 2023 following a record-setting career at Division II powerhouse Shepherd University, Bagent played in five games and made four starts while leading Chicago to two wins with Justin Fields injured. He completed 66% of his passes for 859 yards with three touchdowns and six interceptions. 'I've really been blown away by his approach from the spring to start of camp to where we are now,' coach Ben Johnson said. 'He does a tremendous job knowing what to do, how to do it and getting it done. So I don't think you can have enough talent in that room. I think we actually have one of the best rooms in the NFL, certainly that I've been around in my career from top to bottom.' Bagent, who grew up in Martinsburg, West Virginia, set what was the NCAA's all-division mark with 159 career touchdown passes, and finished with more completions (1,400) and yards passing (17,034) than any other Division II quarterback. In 2021, Bagent won the Harlon Hill Trophy, Division II's equivalent of the Heisman. Freeman, a third-round draft pick by Denver in 2018, has run for 1,792 yards and 10 touchdowns with the Broncos, Houston, Los Angeles Rams and Carolina. ___ AP NFL:

Jets bolster defensive line with trade for Browns' Jowon Briggs
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets acquired defensive tackle Jowon Briggs from the Cleveland Browns in a trade Wednesday that also included draft picks. The Browns also sent a seventh-round pick in next year's NFL draft to New York for a sixth-rounder next year. Briggs had 13 tackles with two quarterback hits in six games for Cleveland last season after being a seventh-round selection. The 6-foot-1, 313-pound D-lineman had 12 career sacks and 170 tackles during a college career that began at Virginia (2019-20) and finished with three years at Cincinnati (2021-23). Briggs adds depth to a defensive line in New York that's led by three-time Pro Bowl pick Quinnen Williams and includes Micheal Clemons, Jay Tufele, Will McDonald and Rashad Weaver. Defensive tackle Byron Cowart has missed time in training camp with an ankle injury, so the addition of Briggs could help fill that void for the Jets if Cowart is sidelined for an extended time. ___ AP NFL:

Jets' Aaron Glenn Has 1-Word Response to Team's Pass Rush
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Jets' pass rush looked so dominant in practice on Tuesday that it left head coach Aaron Glenn almost speechless. Brian Costello of the New York Post reported that Glenn said, "Whoa. That's all I can say is, 'Whoa.' " EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY - AUGUST 16: Head coach Aaron Glenn of the New York Jets looks on during the first half of the NFL Preseason 2025 game between New York Jets and New York... EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY - AUGUST 16: Head coach Aaron Glenn of the New York Jets looks on during the first half of the NFL Preseason 2025 game between New York Jets and New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on August 16, 2025 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. More Photo byLinebacker Jermaine Johnson returned to practice for the first time this season after beginning the new league year on the physically unable to perform list as he recovered from Achilles surgery. According to Costello, Johnson was a frequent uninvited guest in offensive backfields during practice. Pairing Johnson with Will McDonald, along with All-Pro defensive tackle Quinnen Williams rushing on the interior, is something that Glenn is looking forward to. "I think we see Will has a fastball that is like elite in this league," Glenn told reporters. "Jermaine is a bigger body — 265, 270 pounds — that's a true power player but he does have speed also." In a division with a couple of high-octane offenses, limiting time for plays to develop is going to be a key to the Jets' success. Containing and controlling Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is not an easy task, but the Jets' defensive front is going to have to step up to the challenge. Keeping their core of pass rushers healthy long term is the biggest piece of the puzzle for the Jets' defense this season. McDonald and Williams have both missed time with injuries during training camp, but with the season right around the corner, the trio is ready to get after opposing quarterbacks again this season.
