Nation's No. 1 RB Issues Four-Word Message Before Official Visit to Georgia originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
On Wednesday, class of 2026 running back Savion Hiter took to social media to shut down reports that the Tennessee Volunteers and Michigan Wolverines were the top teams he was leaning toward.

The Georgia Bulldogs and Ohio State Buckeyes are happy to hear that, as they, along with the teams listed above, are among the four remaining programs in contention to land his services.
After visiting with the Buckeyes on May 30, Georgia will now get their chance, hosting Hiter for an official visit in Athens on Friday, which will run through Sunday.
On Thursday, Hitler took to X to confirm his plans with the Bulldogs. He posted a graphic of himself in a Georgia uniform and captioned it "OV #2 this weekend."
There's no doubt that head coach Kirby Smart is going to be making a big effort to make a strong impression, as On3 Industry Rankings has Hiter as a five-star recruit, the No. 1 running back and the No. 11 player in the nation.

Last season, Hiter was extremely impressive at the high school level. He ran the ball 156 times for 1,698 yards and 26 touchdowns, while also racking up 56 tackles, seven sacks and one interception at outside linebacker.
His recruiting process is far from over after his time with the Bulldogs, as he also has several official visits to take, including ones already scheduled with the Wolverines (June 13) and the Volunteers (June 20).

If Hiter does land with Georgia, though, he'd be a huge addition to their already impressive 2026 recruiting class, sporting a total of 12 commitments, ranking No. 2 in the SEC and No. 5 in the nation, per On3.

92 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 92?
92 days till the Arizona Cardinals' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No. 92? With 92 days till the Cardinals open the season against the Saints, we look at the players who have worn No. 92. We are counting down to the start of the 2025 regular season for the Arizona Cardinals and are now less than 14 weeks away. They will open the season on the road against the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 7. That is 92 days away. As we count down the remaining days of the offseason, let's look at who has worn that number uniform over the years for the Cardinals. Who has worn No. 92? Cardinals players to wear No. 92 No. 92 currently belongs to defensive lineman Bilal Nichols, acquired in free agency a year ago but only played in six games before a neck injury ended his season. DL Bilal Nichols (2024-?) DL Kevin Strong (2023) DL Antwaun Woods (2022) DL Zach Kerr (2019, 2021) DL Rashard Lawrence (2020) LB Dennis Gardeck (2018) DL Frostee Rucker (2015-2017) DL Dan Williams (2010-2014) DL Bertrand Berry (2004-2009) DL Barron Tanner (2000-2003) DL Angel Rubio (1999) DL Eric England (1994-1996) DL Dexter Manley (1990) Berry is probably the best No. 92. He was an impactful pass rusher who got to be part of the Super Bowl team in 2008. Williams was solid but unspectacular while Rucker was solid.

How NFC Trade Helps Buccaneers' Super Bowl Hopes
How NFC Trade Helps Buccaneers' Super Bowl Hopes originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When the Philadelphia Eagles chose to trade edge rusher Bryce Huff to the San Francisco 49ers last week, the expectation was that there wouldn't be major shake-up among NFC contenders. Advertisement The reality, though, is that this move says a lot more about the NFC Playoff picture than originally perceived. And it's great news for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Let's start with the defending champs. The Eagles have struggled mightily to beat the Buccaneers over the last few years. They also have a pass rush that has now seen four players from last season all find new homes (one of them did retire). The departure of Huff won't make things easier for Philly going forward. Then there is the 49ers. After a dismal six-win finish in 2024, the team said goodbye to several starters on the defensive end. While Huff was most productive under head coach turned defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, he still has major weaknesses against the run. Advertisement That kind of weakness shows the 49ers won't be very good against the run next season. ... Especially in Saleh's wide-nine approach. Both teams are expected to be contenders alongside the Buccaneers this season. The fact that the competition may have have taken major steps backward in their run defense is great news for Tampa Bay. ... Especially with a 1,000-yard runner in Bucky Irving already on the team. Tampa's rushing attack will make things very difficult for both Philly and San Fran, And it could fundamentally shift the balance of power in the conference going forward.
