UM explains decision at linebacker. And Blount, Lofton, tackle situation
A six-pack of Miami Hurricanes notes on a Thursday: ▪ Every college football program faces the same question with a position or two after spring football ends: Do we have enough at the position to win? Or do we try to upgrade? UM's decision to add two linebackers in the April/May portal cycle was an interesting one, because the linebackers competing to start opposite Wesley Bissainthe all had good moments in the spring: Raul Aguirre, Jaylin Alderman, Bobby Pruitt and Chase Smith. Aguirre made a goal-line stop in the spring game. Alderman, a former starter at Louisville, was steady. Pruitt emerged as arguably UM's best linebacker in pass coverage. Smith seemed to regain his pre-injury form and is making a case for playing time during August practices. But nobody knows UM's defensive personnel better than defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman, and he decided two veteran additions were needed: former Rutgers standout Mohamed Toure and ex-North Carolina State part-time starter Kamal Bonner. Bonner signed with UM first but said he had an idea that Toure also might join the Canes, which didn't bother him. Why sign both linebackers instead of adding only one? 'It is always about competition because that is what will always push people to get better,' Hetherman said. 'I think we had a very good room, but nobody is going to take anything for granted and guys have to step up their game. You can tell nobody is comfortable.' The addition of Toure was a no-brainer. Though he had two torn ACLs in the past three seasons, he was a high-impact player in 2023, as The Herald's Jordan McPherson explained here. Bonner, who played three linebacker positions with the Wolfpack, might not be better than what UM already had on its roster. He isn't particularly big; he arrived at Miami at 209 pounds and now weighs 220 pounds 'I can play sideline to sideline,' Bonner said. 'I'm just hoping to showcase my skill set to Coach Hetherman and Coach [Mario] Cristobal that they didn't just get anybody out of the portal–they got an athlete. I'm very fast and physical.' ▪ Though Elija Lofton will now focus on tight end, UM can still use him in multiple positions, including H-back. He said he loves being called a Swiss Army Knife. 'He's going to line up a lot of different places. He has the skill set to do all those things,' offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson said. 'You can line him up in multiple different spots and the ball is going to find him. 'Once he gets the ball, he is probably going to make something happen with it. He is definitely one of the more unique players I have ever coached.' Lofton, who has been timed as fast as 21 mph, said he has studied tape not only of tight ends but also San Francisco receiver Deebo Samuel, who - like Lofton - is a multi-purpose weapon. 'I learned so much from Elijah Arroyo and Cam McCormick,' he said of two former UM tight ends. 'I still call them and ask them for advice.' ▪ Kudos to defensive end Akheem Mesidor for his willingness to play defensive tackle — something Cristobal mentioned, unprompted, during a news conference months ago. 'I am still willing to do whatever it takes to have the best 11 on the field,' Mesidor said. 'I'm a team player. If coach needs me inside, I'll be inside. If they want me outside, I'll be outside. I know I will be able to dominate at whatever spot I want. 'I think in the NFL, I'm not going to be a first, second down interior guy. I'm 265 pounds. You don't see that often. When it comes down to third down in the NFL, I think I can be productive inside.' Mesidor said he swims a mile every weekend and 'that's been the biggest thing that helped me change my body. I wanted to gain more muscle, lose a lot of body fat, which I've done. And I wanted to see what I'd feel like playing at 260, 265 like I did my freshman year. I feel pretty good, so we'll see how it plays out in fall camp. I feel bigger, faster, stronger. 'I've been working so hard. I want to change my life, my mom's life. You'll get everything out of me — twitch, finesse, strength, powerful guy.' ▪ Canes coaches and teammates say defensive end Armondo Blount is ready to blossom. Defensive line coach Jason Taylor said he will stay exclusively at defensive end and not play tackle. 'He's a high effort guy, puts it all on the line,' Mesidor said. 'It's fascinating to watch how hard he plays.' Blount said: 'It's grown men you're playing against. I've got my strength to a college level. I lost a lot of body fat. I gained a lot of weight. I came into college at 22 body fat and I'm now at 15. I feel way faster than I was. Way stronger too.' ▪ During a Thursday media briefing, Cristobal praised the work of three defensive tackles: David Blay, Justin Scott and Daylen Russell. Blay, who was an All-Conference USA player at Louisiana Tech, 'has had a great camp,' Cristobal said. Blay has been trying to hold off Ahmad Moten for a starting job. 'Starting is important to everybody, but it's not going to affect my play,' Blay said. 'Starting is not the end all, be all.' Blay chose Miami over Penn State and Southern Cal. 'When I was looking for somewhere to attend, I was thinking about everything,' he said. 'It's my last season. I've got to be in the right place, with people that care about me and give me what I need.' UM coaches believe Scott, a likely starter, can be elite. He added five pounds of muscle and is down 2% body fat since the summer. 'I definitely want to dominate,' he said. 'Our offensive line is the best in the country. Going against those guys every day, I get better every day.' Scott has been studying tape of Philadelphia's Jalen Carter: 'He's one of the most disruptive defensive tackles in the league.' ▪ Discussing his starting defensive ends, Cristobal said that Rueben Bain Jr. 'has had about a strong a camp as you can have. Akheem [Mesidor] working with our sports science, nutrition to get to a body fat where he looks different, moves different. He has improved his power, speed.'

‘Swiss Army Knife' Nugent-Hopkins once again shining for Oilers in post-season
EDMONTON - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins collected the puck, moved into the offensive zone and put a pass on a platter for Evan Bouchard to blast home the Oilers' opening goal Sunday. The longest-serving member of Edmonton's roster was at it again moments later, dishing to Connor McDavid for a slick 3-on-1 finish and a 2-0 lead. Then with his team on its heels in the third period as the Dallas Stars made a desperate push, Nugent-Hopkins helped weather that storm before finding Zach Hyman with a stretch feed for a back-breaking 4-1 advantage that allowed the home side to exhale inside a rocking Rogers Place. Edmonton centre Leon Draisaitl joked last season the versatile veteran was head coach Kris Knoblauch's favourite player, while McDavid called Nugent-Hopkins the team's 'Swiss Army Knife' following an emphatic 6-1 victory in Game 3 of the NHL's Western Conference final. It's not hard to see why. Nugent-Hopkins' three assists Sunday gave him seven points through three contests in this best-of-seven series — tied for the third-most through a trio of conference final games over the last 30 years. A staple on Edmonton's No. 1 power play, the first forward over the boards when a penalty needs killing, a winger on McDavid's line, and often moved to the middle in hopes of shutting down an opponent late in games, Nugent-Hopkins is Edmonton's man. 'You want players with flexibility … Ryan's that kind of player,' Knoblauch said. 'Any time you have a player that can do so much, as a coach you're very thankful for it.' McDavid said the value Nugent-Hopkins brings can't be overstated. 'He's asked to do everything every single night,' said the Oilers superstar captain. 'He's playing really, really well. Another three assists, but just solid all over.' The 32-year-old selected first overall at the 2011 draft had 22 points (seven goals, 15 assists) during last season's run to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final that saw Edmonton come up just short against the Florida Panthers. Nugent-Hopkins, who joined Wayne Gretzky as the second player in franchise history to register multiple points in each of the first three games of a conference or semifinal series, now has five goals and 11 assists in 14 playoff contests this spring. 'We're all just kind of doing our thing and trying to chip in wherever we can,' said the Burnaby, B.C., product. 'Nice to see it go in and to capitalize when we get our chances.' Oilers goaltender and Edmonton native Stuart Skinner watched Nugent-Hopkins from afar growing up, and always came away impressed with his attention to detail. 'He's such a huge part of our team and of our organization,' the netminder said after an outstanding 33-save performance in a matinee affair that was closer than the score indicated. 'He's a leader in here, the way that he shows his work ethic every single day and what he says in the room. He does it with a lot of composure, too. It is very impressive. 'I've always been a huge fan.' Nugent-Hopkins, who had a great chance at the side of the net in Sunday's second period that Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger denied, was in Edmonton for some of the proud franchise's darkest days as the Oilers missed the playoffs five straight seasons to open his career. He's made sure to once again take a step back and enjoy this ride. 'It's always been a ton of fun to play here in front of these fans,' Nugent-Hopkins said. 'We've had some smaller runs. We've got a long way to go right now, but to feel that energy in the arena, it's pretty special.' Just like what he brings to the table each and every shift.

Who have Titans picked in NFL draft so far? Here's your full rundown through one round
The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft is in the books. As expected, the Tennessee Titans selected Miami quarterback Cam Ward with the first overall pick. Ward, a Heisman Trophy finalist and the NCAA's all-time passing touchdowns leader in Division I, was chosen ahead of Travis Hunter, who went No. 2 to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Abdul Carter, who went third to the New York Giants. Advertisement Ward was a first-team All-American and the Titans' reward for finishing 3-14 last season under first-year coach Brian Callahan. Cam Ward stats 2024 season 39 passing touchdowns, first in the country 4,313 passing yards, second in the nation behind Syracuse's Kyle McCord (4,779) 331.77 passing yards per game, second behind McCord 172.24 passer efficiency, fourth in the nation 454 pass attempts, eighth nationally 14.14 yards per completion, ninth nationally 305 completions, 10th in the nation 67.2 completion percentage, 12th in the country 23.46 completions per game, 12th in the nation Who have Titans drafted so far? Miami quarterback Cam Ward is the only pick the Titans have made. How many picks do Titans have left? The Titans have seven picks remaining. Second round: Pick 35 Fourth round: Picks 103, 120 Fifth round: Picks 141, 167 Sixth round: Picks 178, 188 Titans draft best available From Titans beat writer Nick Suss. Darius Alexander, DT, Toledo Defensive tackle isn't a premium need for the Titans, but Mike Borgonzi and Chad Brinker are intent on building through the trenches. Alexander has the kind of skills the Titans tend to covet, and could help the team take a step toward building the best defensive interior in the league. Elijah Arroyo, TE, Miami How about pairing Ward with his old college teammate? Arroyo is a huge-bodied player with an impressive track record as a pass catcher. He could give the Titans something over the middle that the team's been lacking for years. Jack Bech, WR, TCU The top of the second round isn't lacking in slot receiver types, and Bech can fit that profile. But he's also got skills to play outside as needed, and could provide some of that versatility catching passes from Ward. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri Considered by some to be the No. 1 receiver in the class back in the fall, Burden has fallen down boards after an inconsistent junior season and some surfacing character questions. That said, Burden was the top receiver recruit in the country out of high school for a reason, and go back and watch his sophomore college tape to see why. Nick Emmanwori, S, South Carolina An All-America safety with the kind of physical tools that made him arguably the most impressive player at the NFL combine. He can play all over the defense and be the kind of Swiss Army Knife the Titans need, even if safety isn't the highest-priority need. Donovan Ezeiruaku, OLB, Boston College Ezeiruaku fits a very similar mold as former Titans edge rusher Harold Landry III. He's got some big-time traits as a speed rusher off the edge, but he might not project as a future No. 1 without developing more moves. Mike Green, OLB, Marshall Green is one of the most productive pass rushers and one of the most productive run stoppers in this draft class. There's a little bit of baggage with his off-field past, and the small school pedigree might scare some people too. But there's no knocking the production, or the fact that he was the most notable star at the Senior Bowl. Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State Higgins is one of the top receivers still on the board, and could fit in as the heir to what DeAndre Hopkins did in the offense the last few years. He can stretch the field, go over the middle and make contested catches, pairing well with the speedier Calvin Ridley and the more slot-focused Tyler Lockett. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan If the Titans are looking for the best player available, Johnson might just be him. Johnson came into the year ranked as a consensus top-five talent, but injury concerns have pushed him into the second round. The talent and potential is obvious, but the Titans have been through this song and dance before and the medical report might scare the team off. Jaylin Noel, WR, Iowa State A shiftier, speedier slot target who can work as an inside receiver and a return specialist, Noel gives the Titans a multi-dimensional skill set that few others in this draft can match. He might be a better target via trade down than a stick-and-pick at 35, but he'd fill a need regardless. Femi Oladejo, OLB, UCLA Oladejo doesn't have a four-year track record like some of the other edge defenders in this draft, but he stepped in for first-round pick Laiatu Latu at UCLA last year and didn't disappoint. Speed off the edge never hurts. Shavon Revel, CB, East Carolina The Titans love them a big-bodied cornerback, and Revel has the frame this franchise covets. He's a little bit raw, but he has traits that could justify the Titans being interested at 35 or midway through the round via a trade back. JT Tuiomolau, DE, Ohio State Tuiomolau started gaining momentum as a potential first round pick more than two years ago. He never quite capitalized on that notoriety, but there's no more consistent edge defender in this class. He'll clog rush lanes and get into the backfield on pass downs, even if his ceiling is a little lower than some. Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame Watts is the kind of solid, cornerstone player that all good teams have. He might be a bit of a luxury pick at No. 35, but in the event the Titans trade back in to the mid-to-late second round he could be a steal. Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State Another former Ward teammate, Williams might be the best true deep threat in this class. He's got burst, and pairing him with Ridley could give this team one heckuva downfield pair.
