Huskers make top ten for towering 2027 tackle
Nebraska football made the top ten for class of 2027 four-star offensive tackle Hayden Ainsworth. He made the announcement via social media on Wednesday.
Ainsworth is a three-star recruit. He is currently the 16th overall player in his class from the state of Mississippi, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. As expected, Ole Miss is in his Top Ten. Alabama, North Carolina State, North Carolina, Oklahoma, UNLV, Florida State, Baylor, and Liberty are also in the mix.
Nebraska football has no commitments in the 2027 recruiting class. However, they have a bunch of summer visits lined up. Ainsworth has a busy summer visit schedule as well. He is set to visit North Carolina State on May 30, Nebraska on June 6, Liberty on June 13, and Ole Miss on June 20. All of those will be official visits.
He would be another solid get for the Huskers. He measures in at six-foot-five, 305 pounds. The competition will be fierce for Nebraska to land him. Getting in the top ten is undoubtedly a step in the right direction.

Nebraska offers class of 2027 Missouri wide receiver
Nebraska football offered class of 2027 wide receiver Justyn Lindsay on Saturday. Lindsay made the announcement on social media. The wide receiver was a part of Nebraska's Friday camp, where quarterback Trae Taylor was also in attendance. Advertisement Lindsay measures in at six-foot-one, 150 pounds. He currently plays at Blue Springs South High School in Missouri. Currently, the 2027 Nebraska football recruiting class has one commitment in Trae Taylor. The latter has been very active with the program over the past couple of months, having attended several camps in June. The Huskers have attempted to open the Missouri pipeline over the past couple of recruiting classes. Wide receiver Isaiah Mozee is one example in the 2025 class, and Jamar Mozee is a senior football assistant for the program. He has heavily recruited the Missouri area. Nebraska's camps have yielded several offers over the past couple of weeks, and that is certainly a positive sign.

Men's College World Series 2025: LSU bests Arkansas, UCLA defeats Murray State on Day 2
The Men's College World Series continued Saturday, with Day 2 in Omaha, Nebraska, featuring some solid wins from UCLA and LSU. The Bruins threatened the Cinderella run of Murray State with a victory, and the Tigers dispatched SEC rival Arkansas to stay in the winners' bracket. LSU 4, Arkansas 1 LSU picked up a 4-1 win over Arkansas to close out Saturday. The Tigers earned the win against their SEC rival largely off a strong second inning and kept the lead with some great pitching from starter Kade Anderson. Advertisement LSU got things started in the second, loading the bases off star Razorbacks pitcher Zach Root. The Tigers then scored on three consecutive plays. Chris Stanfield and Josh Pearson each notched RBI singles; sandwiched between the two RBI, Michael Braswell III was hit by a pitch to advance the runners for another run. After that, Arkansas coach Dave Van Horn pulled Root early, and sophomore Gabe Gaeckle came in to replace him. Gaeckle put up quite a performance, notching 10 strikeouts across six shutout innings before being replaced in the eighth. Gaeckle and Anderson each put up a great defensive performance, holding the score at 3-0 through the next three innings. In the bottom of the sixth, the Razorbacks finally got on the board with a solo homer from first baseman Reese Robinett. Advertisement Gaeckle held off the LSU offense while on the mound, but the Tigers came right back the minute he left. It took only one batter after Gaeckle was replaced by freshman Cole Gibler, as LSU left fielder Derek Curiel notched an RBI single to put the Tigers up 4-1. At the start of the eighth, Anderson was replaced after allowing a base hit. The lefty sophomore ended with seven strikeouts on 100 pitches while holding Arkansas to four baserunners. The Razorbacks' defense held on in the top of the ninth, stranding two LSU batters to keep the score at 4-1. But LSU freshman Casan Evans was able to close out the game and secure the Tigers' victory. Advertisement The Tigers move on to the winners' bracket, next facing UCLA, while Arkansas will try to dispatch Murray State in a must-win game. Both games will take place Monday. UCLA 6, Murray State 4 Murray State is the underdog darling of the MCWS, having advanced to Omaha as a regional No. 4 seed. But they are one game away from elimination after losing Saturday's opener to UCLA. Racers pitcher Nic Schutte struggled with his control from the start, walking Dean West and Roch Cholowsky, then giving up a single to Mulivai Levu to load the bases. He then walked Roman Martin on five pitches to bring in the Bruins' first run. However, Schutte retired the next three — with two strikeouts — to limit the damage. UCLA added to its lead with Cashel Dugger hitting a double to lead off the second. A sacrifice bunt from Phoenix Call advanced Dugger to third before West drove him home with a single. Advertisement The Bruins put the game out of reach in the fourth inning. Following a Dugger lineout, Call and West each singled. They were moved into scoring position by a Cholowsky sacrifice bunt. With two outs, Schutte could have escaped the inning, but he hit Levu with his first pitch to once again load the bases. Martin then hit an RBI single, followed by a double from AJ Salgado that scored another two runs. UCLA pitcher Michael Barnett was on his way to getting through five scoreless innings after retiring the first two Racers batters in the fifth. But he allowed a single to Jonathan Hogart and walked Dustin Mercer before leaving the game. Bruins coach John Savage told ESPN reporter Dani Wexelman that Barnett was dealing with leg cramps. Advertisement Wylan Moss took over and gave up an RBI single to Carson Garner for Murray State's first run. The run was charged to Barnett, who finished with one run and three hits allowed, with four strikeouts and four walks in 4 2/3 innings. The Racers added another run in the sixth on singles by Luke Mistone and Will Vierling, followed by a sacrifice fly from Dan Tauken. They threatened to score more in the seventh against UCLA reliever Jack O'Connor, with Hogart and Mercer leading off the frame with singles. But O'Connor got the next two batters to fly out before August Souza took over and got Mistone to line out. Souza walked Vierling and gave up a double to Tauken to begin the eighth. Both runners came around to score on RBI groundouts, closing Murray State's deficit to 6-4. But Hogart struck out to end the Racers' last best threat. Advertisement UCLA will enjoy a steak dinner courtesy of Bruins alum Gerrit Cole, according to Savage. The team will face LSU on Monday. Murray State will play Arkansas on Monday in an elimination game. In the meantime, Racers fans in Omaha can perhaps console themselves with the fact that their school currently ranks second in the Rocco's Jell-O shot challenge. The MCWS's secondary competition, the Rocco's Jello Shot Challenge, is in full swing after two days of the tournament. In addition to the win over Arkansas, LSU fans are still holding strong on their Jell-O shot consumption, tallying 10,197 shots as of Saturday evening. As a result, Tigers fans are still well on pace to break their own record. In contrast, Murray State and Arkansas — once just behind LSU in terms of shot consumption — have fallen behind, with 5,396 and 4,823 shots each. Once again, the Tigers are really running away with this one.
