Ohio State football 'Student Appreciation Day' sights and sounds
Saturday was the annual "Student Appreciation Day" for the Ohio State football program. It's a tradition Urban Meyer and continued by Ryan Day before being put on pause by the COVID-19 pandemic. It was reinstated in 2022, and we just witnessed the latest iteration of the event on Saturday at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
With students and fans still basking in the glow of a College Football Playoff national championship, the energy in the building was evident with a throng of students there to take in a scrimmage, photo opportunities, and more, and thanks to the Ohio State Football "X" account and the social media posts of others, we got a pretty good look at some of the best moments of the shindig on Saturday.

MSU football predicted to land commitment from 3-star LB Charles Belser
MSU football predicted to land commitment from 3-star LB Charles Belser Michigan State football is trending for a three-star linebacker prospect from Philadelphia. Charles Belser of Philadelphia took an official visit this past weekend, and it apparently went so well that the Spartans are now the projected favorite to land his commitment. Michigan State picked up a 247Sports' crystal ball prediction in their favor for Belser on Tuesday morning. Belser is a three-star prospect, with a recruiting rating of 87 on 247Sports. He ranks as the No. 64 linebacker and No. 807 overall prospect in 247Sports' composite rankings for the 2026 class. Michigan State is one of nearly 15 schools to show interest in Belser by extending him an offer. Some of the other notable schools to offer Belser includes UCF, Virginia Tech, Florida State, Notre Dame, Penn State, Indiana, Pitt, Syracuse, UCLA and Duke. There is no known commitment date for Belser so we will need to keep our eyes peeled for any news surrounding his recruitment. I wouldn't be surprised if an announcement comes out shortly should he in fact elect to become a future Spartan.

This decision comes off of official visits to both schools the past two weekends, with MSU coming out ahead. A 6-foot-5, 240 pound edge, House is a standout at Whitehaven High School in Memphis. He ranks as an 87-rated 3-star and No. 68 edge in the country by 247Sports. House had 28 total offers, with 12 of those offers being from power conference schools.

Michigan State rush ends coach Chad Wilt is credited with being the primary recruiter in this recruitment, doing what the Spartans needed him to do to win out with a commitment, especially over a Big Ten rival in Iowa.

Campaign to host second digital takeover in support of Colchester man with cancer
A CAMPAIGN is asking Colchester's community to turn their screens black tomorrow night in support of a man battling cancer. Stuart Smith, nicknamed Stu, was first diagnosed with melanoma six years ago. The 40-year-old accountant lives in Stanway with his wife, Lauren - who, together, have been on a gruelling journey of failed treatments and surgeries. The pair, along with countless supporters and campaign #DoItForStu, are on a mission to raise £167,000. Fighter - Stuart Smith is battling stage 4 cancer (Image: #DoItForStu) The funds will be spent on a potentially life-saving treatment in Israel - which is Stu's last chance to beat his stage four cancer. The fundraising figure now stands at £107,976, including an anonymous donation of £20,000. Tomorrow night at 8pm #DoItForStu will host its second digital takeover and is asking Colchester's community to join in on the social media blackout. The online event reached over 60,000 people within 24 hours last month, and campaigners are hoping to see the same level of support tomorrow. A spokesman for #DoItForStu said: "The impact was huge and since then, this movement has grown faster than we ever imagined. "Now we are SO close to Stu's target and this is the moment to come together again and push harder than ever. "I'm asking EVERY single one of you to unite once more and flood Facebook with Stu's story. "We need to tip this movement over the line and we need to do it now because Stu doesn't have time on his side. "This is a united movement - one last big blackout, one last big push, one chance to save a life. "Please stand with us tomorrow - together, we are unstoppable." United - The digital takeover will begin at 8pm tomorrow night (Image: #DoItForStu) The digital blackout will see Stu's friends, family members and supporters posting the #DoItForStu blackout image, as well as changing their profile pictures and flooding their feeds with the viral hashtag.
