Former Spartans star Jase Richardson signs multi-year shoe deal with massive brand
Richardson wore Nike this past season with the Spartans -- who are sponsored by Nike -- and he will continue to roll with the well-known athletic wear brand at the next level too. ESPN's Nick DePaula reported on Friday that Richardson has signed a multi-year shoe deal with Nike.
Richardson was selected by the Orlando Magic with the No. 25 overall pick in last month's NBA Draft. He starred for the Magic in a pair of NBA Summer League games following his selection and is expected to play a role on the Magic's roster next year as a rookie.
As you know by now, Richardson was a superstar freshman for Michigan State this past season. He averaged 12.1 points per game and shot above 40% from three-point range. His strong play throughout the season turned Richardson into a clear-cut NBA Draft first round pick.
Congrats to Richardson on his new shoe deal with Nike. I'm expecting even more endorsement deals to be coming his way if he continues to provide the stellar play on the court that we've grown accustom to in the last year.

Report: Notre Dame to unofficially host 5-star Penn State commit in hopes of a flip
The recruiting battles between Notre Dame and Penn State continue, and this time it's the Irish attempting to flip a 2027 Nittany Lions commit. Kemon Spell made his verbal to PSU in August of 2024, but according to a report by 247Sports Tom Loy, the 5-foot, 9-inch and 205-pound star running back will make an unofficial trip to South Bend when they host Texas A&M on Sept. 13th. That's not the only visit the country's No. 9 overall prospect according the 247Sports Composite will visit, as trips to see Penn State, Florida State and Alabama will happen during the season as well. The report also states that Spell will try and make it out to a game against Ohio State, all of which means that he most likely could be heading towards flipping to another school. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out, but the Irish would love to have another 5-star prospect entering its program. At the current moment, Notre Dame has three commits in the 2027 class, highlighted by quarterback Teddy Jarrard. We are sure that he'd love to see Spell in the backfield with him in South Bend.

Iowa football QB Mark Gronowski named to 2025 Maxwell Award watch list
🏆 @mgronowski11 ➡️ 𝐌𝐚𝐱𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭@MaxwellFootball x #Hawkeyes As the 2025 college football season swiftly approaches, Iowa football's presumptive starting quarterback, Mark Gronowski, has landed himself a spot on the 2025 Maxwell Award watch list, announced by the Maxwell Football Club on Monday. The Maxwell Award is presented annually to the most outstanding player in college football. At 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, the native of Naperville, Illinois, will be in his first and final season with the Hawkeyes after transferring from South Dakota State, where he led the Jackrabbits to a pair of FCS national championships in 2022 and 2023. Gronowski was the 2023 FCS statistical leader in passing efficiency (179.67) and compiled a 49-6 career record as the Jackrabbits' starting quarterback, with the 49 wins tying for the most wins in history by an FCS quarterback. Gronowski has already won the FCS equivalent of the Maxwell Award, when he secured the 2023 Walter Payton Award with South Dakota State. The Maxwell Award has been awarded to College Football's Player of the Year since 1937 and is named in honor of Robert Maxwell for his contributions to the game as a player, sportswriter, and official. Only two Hawkeyes have ever won the high distinction in the award's history: halfback Nile Kinnick in 1939 and quarterback Chuck Long in 1985. Semifinalists for the award will be announced on Nov. 11, while finalists for the distinction will be revealed on Nov. 25. The winner will be announced on Dec. 11. While the list is quite expansive at the moment, Gronowski will have an excellent opportunity to prove he is worthy of the award with a potentially historic Iowa season on the horizon.
