Watch: Notre Dame football commit Ayden Pouncey with an amazing touchdown catch
While Notre Dame football 2026 commit Ayden Pouncey will line up as a defensive back at the next level, that still won't stop his team from using him on offense during his last high school season.
Football in his home state of Florida has a much different spring than others, as they play teams in exhibitions, which is exactly what happened on Friday night. The 6-foot, 3-inch and 160-pound Pouncey added to his highlight reel yesterday, with an amazing, weaving through the defense touchdown reception.
The Irish got a very good one in Pouncey, as he's ranked as the No. 146 overall prospect nationally by the 247Sports Composite. Notre Dame has had success with Xavier Watts making a transition from wide receiver to safety, and they could have a good problem with the opposite switch with the star safety.
Pouncey is showing that he's not just a star on defense, but he could be a difference-maker on offense as well if needed.

Brentford sign goalkeeper Kelleher from Liverpool
Brentford have completed the signing of Irish international goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher from Liverpool for a reported fee of up to £18 million ($24 million). The Bees' previous number one Mark Flekken joined Bayer Leverkusen earlier on Tuesday in a deal worth around 10 million euros (£8.5 million, $11.5 million). Advertisement Kelleher played an important role in Liverpool's Premier League triumph, making 10 appearances during the absence of Alisson Becker due to injury. However, the 26-year-old was keen for more first-team action and could have fallen further down the pecking order at Anfield with the arrival of Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia. Kelleher has signed a five-year deal at Brentford with a club option of an additional season. "As well as being a very good goalkeeper, I've rarely met a player for whom everybody has such positive words to say about his personality and character," said Brentford director of football Phil Giles. Advertisement "I'm therefore confident he'll be an excellent addition to the squad." Kelleher made 67 appearances for Liverpool and leaves with two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the FA Cup, two League Cups and the UEFA Super Cup. Brentford, managed by Thomas Frank, finished 10th in the Premier League last season. kca/jw/bsp

2 Indianapolis Colts' ranked among best college football players of the 2000s
2 Indianapolis Colts' ranked among best college football players of the 2000s One current and one former member of the Indianapolis Colts were named among the top 25 college football players of the 2000s by The Athletic. One current and one former member of the Indianapolis Colts were named among the top 25 college football players of the 2000s, a list that was put together by The Athletic's Bruce Feldman. In order to construct this list, Feldman reached out to "three dozen" coaches, TV analysts, and NFL scouts, asking who was the best collegiate player over the last 25 years. Coming in at No. 25 on that list for the Colts was current left guard Quenton Nelson, who played his college career at Notre Dame. Nelson was named an All-American during his final season, and over his three years as a starter, he was consistently one of PFF's highest graded guards as both a run blocker and as a pass protector during that span. In 2017, Notre Dame's 6.3 yards per rush average as a team was the third-highest mark in all of college football, and as Feldman noted, the Irish accomplished that without having a "star running back." The Colts made Nelson the sixth overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, and since then, he has provided stability to the Indianapolis offensive line unit, which includes making seven Pro Bowls, along with being a three-time All-Pro. The second Colts player to make an appearance on Feldman's list was quarterback Andrew Luck, who played at Stanford and was No. 12 on the list. Over Luck's final two seasons, he completed an impressive 71% of his passes, throwing for 6,855 yards with 69 touchdowns to just 18 interceptions. He was a runner-up for the Heisman Trophy twice, a winner of the Maxwell Award, and a winner of the Walter Camp award as well. 'The only time I can remember during my scouting career where they told me, 'This guy teaches the install on the first day of camp.' They just let him get up there and teach it,' said NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah, a former NFL scout. 'They give him multiple huddle calls and let him run the game at the line of scrimmage. He just had more intellectual power than anybody I've ever scouted.' The Colts took Luck with the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. He was a four-time Pro Bowler and the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year in 2018. Luck would also lead the Colts to the playoffs in four seasons, including an AFC Championship appearance in 2014.
