Steelers Sign Linebacker Carson Bruener To Rookie Deal
The Pittsburgh Steelers and 2025 NFL Draft seventh-round draft pick Carson Bruener have agreed to terms on his rookie contract, the team announced on Friday. The Steelers selected the Washington linebacker with the 265th overall pick in the seventh round of this year's NFL Draft. Bruener had a standout career with the Huskies, most notably in 2024, when he was one of only two Power Four players to record at least 100 tackles and three interceptions. Advertisement He also earned first-team All-Big Ten honors and was widely praised for his instincts and ability to diagnose plays. Bruener finished his college career with 306 total tackles, including 10.5 for loss. Bruener is no stranger to the rich tradition of the Steelers' organization. His father, Mark Bruener, is a former Steelers tight end and currently serves as a scout for the team.

So it's just a full-circle moment. It's crazy,' Bruener said after being selected. Advertisement Contract details have not yet been disclosed, but according to OverTheCap, the deal is worth approximately $4.3 million over four years, with an estimated signing bonus of $113,000. Bruener is expected to contribute as a depth piece in a crowded inside linebacker room that includes Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson, Cole Holcomb, Mark Robinson, and Malik Harrison. He is also projected to be a significant contributor on special teams, a role he excelled in during his time at Washington. The pick used to draft Bruener was one of two the Steelers held in the seventh round, acquired after trading back in the fifth round with the Kansas City Chiefs. Bruener was one of five defensive selections the Steelers made in this year's draft, underscoring the team's focus on bolstering its defense this offseason. Bruener is the first of the Steelers' seven 2025 NFL Draft selections to sign so far, with six remaining.

Texas' 5-run fifth inning propels Longhorns to 7-1 victory over Houston Christian in Austin Regional
Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas turned six hits and an error into a five-run fifth inning to break open the game, and the No. 2 national seed Longhorns defeated Houston Christian 7-1 in the Austin Regional on Friday. The Longhorns (43-12) play the winner of a game between UTSA and Kansas on Saturday. The Huskies (32-24) meet the loser in an elimination game. Texas, making its NCAA-record 64th tournament appearance, capitalized on three Houston Christian errors and scored six unearned runs. All five of the Longhorns' fifth-inning runs came with two outs. Jonah Williams reached on an error and Ethan Mendoza singled to start the inning, and then four two-out singles and Will Gasparino's double put the Longhorns up 7-1. Texas coach Jim Schlossnagle gave left-hander Ethan Walker his second start of the season against the No. 4 regional seed Huskies. That allowed Texas to hold back established weekend starters Ruger Riojas and Luke Harrison. Walker, who held Tennessee to one run in 4 1/3 innings of relief in the Southeastern Conference Tournament on May 22, gave up two hits and no runs in 1 2/3 innings. Schlossnagle then went to Grayson Saunier and Hudson Hamilton. Each worked 3 2/3 innings, and they combined to hold the Huskies to a run on six hits and a walk. Houston Christian starter Parker Edwards went 4 1/3 innings and allowed seven hits and two walks. The Longhorns beat Houston Christian for the second time this season. They won 12-2 on April 8 in a game shortened to seven innings by the run rule. ___ AP college sports: recommended
