Notre Dame football offers top-50 2027 Mississippi defensive end
They already have two commits, just one being a position player, but the Irish have sent out plenty of offers to some of the best prospects in the country. One of them was offered on Saturday evening in Mississippi edge rusher Derwin Fields. The 6-foot, 5-inch and 220-pounder is ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the nation's No. 45 overall prospect, just outside the 5-star range.
Notre Dame now joins teams like Alabama, Florida, LSU, Florida State and others in offering Fields, who should end up being able to play virtually anywhere he'd like. It does look like its going to be tough to pull him away from SEC-country, but the Irish have put their hat in the ring.
If Fields is able to make it up to South Bend during the season, it would be a great sign for Notre Dame to continue to be in the mix for his commitment. Time will tell if that happens, but for now, the Irish are clearly interested in him joining their 2027 class.

Iowa football patiently awaiting injury return of key defensive cog
Iowa football is in the midst of its second week of fall camp. On Wednesday, Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz caught up with longtime Hawkeye play-by-play voice Gary Dolphin to update how camp is going. Ferentz revealed that Iowa's defensive depth up front has been tested early in camp. "Up front, Jeremiah Pittman's been out. Unfortunately he's coming off a knee repair, so he's still probably a week or two away from going, but it's given other guys an opportunity to get in there and work some. "Obviously, Aaron Graves on one side's pretty solid and then you've got guys like Will Hubert's really done a good job growing, developing. Bryce Hawthorne, young man from South Dakota State's really been impressive. Luke Gaffney. So, we'll have candidates. It's going to be interesting to see how it all develops and we'll get Jeremiah back at some point. I think at the end of the day, that group's going to be fine," Ferentz said. Pittman, a 6-foot-2, 285-pound graduate defensive lineman, was listed as one of Iowa's two starting defensive tackles to begin the spring opposite senior Aaron Graves. Pittman played in all 13 games last season, registering 17 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. The Palatine, Ill., product from St. Viator High School has notched 27 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery in his Hawkeye career thus far. Pittman has played in 26 games in his Iowa career and was a three-star signee per 247Sports in the 2021 class.

Nolan Arenado headed to Florida to begin rehab assignment
Nolan Arenado headed to Florida to begin rehab assignment originally appeared on The Sporting News John Denton of offered an update earlier today on Cardinals star third baseman Nolan Arenado, who was placed on the 10-day injured list last Friday with a right shoulder strain. '#STLCards third baseman Nolan Arenado will report to Jupiter, Fla., on Friday to begin a rehab assignment, manager Oliver Marmol said,' wrote Denton on X. 'The club's thinking is that after his shoulder strengthens, he could soon appear in games there.' Jupiter is home to St. Louis' Single-A affiliate—the Palm Beach Cardinals. It's there that Arenado will begin working his way back to the Majors, where he's slashing .235/.294/.366 with 10 home runs and 41 RBI in 96 games this season. The Cardinals (57-58) are currently fighting for the last NL Wild Card spot, sitting 6.0 games behind the Mets after New York fell 4-1 to the Cleveland Guardians earlier today. St. Louis looks to earn its first series victory since July 8-10 against the Washington Nationals (2-1) with a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers today. Shohei Ohtani returned to the mound after an injury scare last week, opposing St. Louis lefty Matthew Liberatore. Despite a career-low .235 batting average, Arenado would surely provide a boost to a middling Cardinals team thanks to his prowess at third base, where he holds 10 Gold Glove Awards. He has a .266/.323/.456 slash line in 697 games since joining St. Louis in 2021, when he was traded by the Colorado Rockies after spending the first eight seasons of his career there (2013-2020).
