Seahawks UDFA DL Jared Ivey projected to make 53-man roster
Jared Ivey, DL, #15Club-swim The Seattle Seahawks have completed two practices at training camp. A slew of undrafted free agents are attempting to make the 53-man roster. One of the early standouts has been former Ole Miss defensive lineman Jared Ivey. The ex Rebels standout was named Third-team All-SEC in 2024. Ivey made 12 appearances with 11 starts, recording 42 tackles, 10.5 TFLs, and seven sacks. Ivey participated in the Senior Bowl, where the Seahawks had a front-row seat to his skill set. The Bleacher Report recently wrote an article outlining one undrafted free agent capable of making the roster for all 32 teams in the league. They chose Ivey for the Seahawks. "Jared Ivey should fit well into the Seattle Seahawks defensive front, which makes him an ideal candidate to make the roster after going undrafted," Brent Sobleski wrote. "He carried a top-100 ranking by the Bleacher Report Scouting Report throughout the previous draft cycle despite testing poorly." "Overall, Ivey can at least be a good two-down player who is a starter during his rookie contract, especially as an even front defensive end," B/R scout Matt Holder wrote. "How much he'll be able to contribute as a pass-rusher is questionable, but a team that already has a good pass-rush specialist on the edge and is willing to work with him on the interior should be intrigued by Ivey's game." It's worth monitoring Ivey's progress at training camp. His inside-outside versatility would be a welcome addition to Mike Macdonald's defensive line.

Rockets assistant coach Royal Ivey named to Texas Athletics Hall of Honor
Assistant coach Royal Ivey is joining Kevin Durant and DJ Augustin (front office) as current Rockets who are in the Texas Athletics Hall of Honor. Houston Rockets assistant coach Royal Ivey, who previously played in college at the University of Texas and then for several NBA teams, will soon be inducted into the Texas Athletics Hall of Honor. Ivey is among 10 individuals that will be recognized as the Class of 2025 during a Sept. 12 induction ceremony in Austin. Details on the ceremony are available here. From his Texas Hall of Honor biography: A four-year starter at both point guard and shooting guard during his career at Texas, Royal Ivey left his mark as one of the top one-on-one perimeter defenders in program history. A two-time Big 12 Conference All-Defensive Team selection, he finished his collegiate career ranked first in games started (126), tied for third in games played (133), and 24th in scoring (1,036 points). Ivey helped lead the Longhorns to four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including three-straight trips to the Sweet 16 (2002, 2003, and 2004) and a spot in the 2003 Final Four. In addition to Ivey's extensive NBA ties, both as a player and assistant coach, the 43-year-old was also the head coach when South Sudan secured its first-ever Olympic berth and victory during the 2024 Olympics cycle. He has been considered for NBA head coaching jobs in recent years and might soon land one, though he's returning to the staff of Ime Udoka for at least one more season in Houston. As for the Texas Hall of Honor, Ivey joins Kevin Durant and DJ Augustin as current members of the Rockets who are part of that exclusive club of Longhorns legends. Durant was acquired by trade this offseason, and Augustin is a former player who is back with Houston as a front-office member. Both Durant (2006-07) and Augustin (2006-08) also played at Texas during the 2000s decade, although a few years later than Ivey (2001-04).

Notre Dame's Niele Ivey wins a gold medal with Team USA at the U19 Women's World Cup
Notre Dame women's basketball coach Niele Ivey, had an interesting summer job, coaching the Women's Under-19 National Team. It's safe to say that coach Ivey did very well, as she led them to win a gold medal with Team USA at the U19 Women's World Cup in the Czech Republic on Sunday. Team USA, led by head coach Teri Moren, defeated Australia 88-76, claiming its fourth consecutive gold medal in the event. Saniyah Hall was named the MVP after stellar play on both ends of the court. She led the U.S. in scoring (19.9 ppg) and ranked third overall in scoring. For the tournament, she ranked fourth in steals per game (2.9) and eighth in blocks per game (1.1). She finished the week with four games of 20-plus points. Sienna Betts recorded another double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds and joined Hall on the All-Star Five following a week with five double-doubles over seven games. She ranked second among all players in rebounds per game (10.0) and recorded 14.6 points per game. Coach Ivey added a second gold medal to her resume as an assistant with USA Basketball. Last summer, Ivey earned her first gold with the program while serving as an assistant at the 2024 FIBA U18 AmeriCup in Colombia. Earlier this month, ND's All-American junior guard Hannah Hidalgo helped USA claim gold at the FIBA Women's AmeriCup 2025. It's been a busy summer for the Irish, and hopefully all this winning translated over into the season.

Alabama governor backs withholding video of officer fatally shooting Black student
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey is supporting a state agency's refusal to release body camera footage in the fatal police shooting of an 18-year-old Black college freshman, saying the case must first be thoroughly investigated. Ivey said she was confident 'the facts will prevail' when the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency completes its investigation into the June 23 shooting of Jabari Peoples by an officer with the Homewood Police Department. 'This case [is] a top priority, and I am confident they are working to efficiently get this done,' Ivey said in a statement Wednesday to NBC affiliate WVTM 13 in Birmingham. Peoples, an aspiring police detective, was killed at a soccer complex where he was sitting in his parked car with his girlfriend. An officer approached his car around 9:30 p.m. because he said he smelled what seemed like marijuana. Peoples' girlfriend, whose name has not been released, has denied he had a gun, said family attorney Ben Crump. The officer, who has not been publicly identified, shot Peoples after he said Peoples reached for a gun in the pocket of his car door, according to the police department. Peoples was shot in the back but there was no exit wound on his body and the bullet was not found inside him, according to an autopsy conducted by an independent medical examiner hired by his family. An autopsy conducted by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office has not been released at the request of the state law enforcement agency. The officer's body camera video documenting the shooting has become a crucial piece of evidence as Peoples' family and girlfriend dispute the department's version of events. The family, local leaders and many Homewood residents are demanding that the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency release it. State Rep. Kelvin Datcher, a Democrat who represents Homewood, said withholding the video undermines public confidence in law enforcement and tarnishes the integrity of the case. 'The point of having body camera footage is to ensure transparency for the community,' he said Thursday. 'There's an urgency for the family to get a look at that video.' Protesters showed up to the Homewood City Council meeting this week calling for the video's release and threatening to boycott local businesses, with the idea that economic pressure might force leaders to change their position. 'We will host sit-ins, we will hold dine-ins and vigils through downtown at the doorstep of your businesses,' the Rev. Wayne Harris told the council, according to WVTM. 'Your commerce will feel our grief, and we will shut Homewood down for justice.'
