Buccaneers to sign RB Jase McClellan
The Buccaneers lost a running back to injury over the weekend, so they're moving to add a healthy one on Monday. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that they are going to sign former Falcon Jase McClellan. McClellan was a 2024 sixth-round pick in Atlanta and he was released by the Bucs' NFC South rival in June. Rachaad White left Saturday's game against the Titans with a groin injury and went for further testing Sunday. Bucs head coach Todd Bowles told reporters on Monday that White is considered day-to-day. McClellan appeared in two games as a rookie. He ran 13 times for 32 yards in those outings.

Jeremiah McClellan details decision to commit to Oregon Ducks over Ohio State Buckeyes
There are a number of wide receivers on the Oregon Ducks roster who are looking to make a name for themselves and step into bigger roles on the offense this season. One of those players is redshirt freshman Jeremiah McClellan, who came to Eugene as a highly-rated 4-star recruit but was unable to crack the rotation in 2024. This year around, though, there are high expectations for McLellan, a 6-foot, 195 player who was rated as the No. 65 player in the 2024 recruiting class, as he contends for a start spot on the roster. While his focus may be on the upcoming season, we had the chance to talk to McClellan for the first time on Friday, offering us an opportunity to revisit National Signing Day in 2023, when he dramatically flipped his commitment from the Ohio State Buckeyes to the Ducks. Ultimately, why did he make the flip? 'It was basically just the connection that Coach Lanning and the staff have here," McClellan said. "I really just didn't feel like I had that connection at Ohio State. So the connection I have here, and the way Coach Lanning and Coach Terry, Coach Stein, and the guys that recruited me, it just felt like family here.' One of the guys who played a big role in McClellan coming to Oregon was wide receivers coach Junior Adams. Since then, Adams has moved on to take a job with the Dallas Cowboys, but in his stead, new WR coach Ross Douglas has done a great job of fostering that relationship and helping to build McClellan up. 'I hadn't really had any contact or anything like that with Coach Douglas, but getting to know him these last seven to eight months, I really love him as a coach," McClellan said. "He's a great coach.' There will be no shortage of competition for McClellan to carve out a portion of the target share this year, with guys like Dakorien Moore, Kyler Kasper, Justius Lowe, Malik Benson, Jurrion Dickey, and Gary Bryant Jr. all vying for touches as well. However, what we've seen early on from the redshirt sophomore has been impressive.

Virginia's federal lawmakers want to make childbirth free
(Photo by Getty Images) Childbirth can cost thousands of dollars, with certain conditions also posing extra costs for parents-to-be who have private health insurance. New legislation proposed by Virginia's Capitol Hill lawmakers and their colleagues could prevent cost-sharing for prenatal, childbirth, neonatal, perinatal and postpartum care, keeping families from being saddled with big bills after birth. U.S. Rep. Jennifer McClellan, D-Richmond, remembers the stress and fear of dealing with placenta previa, a life-threatening maternal condition, when carrying her second child, Samantha. Her placenta wasn't in the right position, placing her and her fetus at risk and spurring a cesarean section birth and neonatal intensive care unit stay for the baby once it was born. She also remembers the extra medical costs that were associated with managing the condition to keep both herself and her daughter alive. The condition is rare but tricky if it develops later in pregnancy as McClellan's did, and exemplifies how costly maternal care can be, especially if there are complications or emergencies. Bipartisan and bicameral legislation she helped create would provide birth-related benefits similar to the ones offered by Medicaid to Americans who are covered by private health insurance. Reducing out-of-pocket costs like copays can help more families stay on top of monitoring conditions to prevent crises and be better able to respond when they do arise, McClellan said. 'The idea here is this will help get more people in for prenatal and preventative care so that hopefully you will have fewer emergencies,' McClellan explained. U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia, said if the measure becomes law, it would represent a big shift in maternal health care for the country. 'Childbirth should be free in the United States, and that's a big idea,' Kaine said , who is a co-patron of the Senate version of the bill. That's already the case in some countries, while in others like Finland, France and Great Britain, costs are curbed for expecting families and efforts to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates have proven successful. Applying the concept to America is something that Vice President J.D. Vance (who also serves as president of the Senate) has previously been on board with, Kaine said. Last year, Kaine workshopped the idea with then-Sen. Vance before he was tapped to be President Donald Trump's running mate. Kaine then connected with Sens. Cindy Hyde-Smith, R-Mississippi, Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-New York, to introduce the bill this year. 'Bringing a child into the world is costly enough without piling on cost-share fees that saddle many mothers and families with debt,' Hyde-Smith said in a statement announcing the legislation. 'By relieving financial stresses associated with pregnancy and childbirth, hopefully more families will be encouraged to embrace the beautiful gift and responsibility of parenthood.' The House and Senate versions of the bill can unify the 'left and the right, the 'pro-choice' and the 'pro-life,'' Kaine said, adding that the measures could fare well in the nation's legislative branch and end up on Trump's desk.

WWII Veteran turns 100; shares about his time in the Army
GATE CITY, Va. (WJHL)- World War II veteran Hubert McClellan just turned 100 years old on Tuesday, May 27. 'I was in the infantry in the platoons. We carried the mortar weapons,' he said. McClellan spent most of his time in Rome after he was drafted into the Army. 'We were following a tank corps, and we were moving so fast that the German tank corps passed… They captured it,' he said. 'We used the same spring [as the Italians] for water. They'd fire shots. Nobody would fire at each other. They'd just shoot every once in a while… if you went to get water, they'd fire a couple of rounds over your head just to let you know that they were still there.' Sister of fallen Blountville soldier reminds people of true meaning behind Memorial Day He remembers the day he found out President Roosevelt died. 'They got everybody together and was telling them about that,' McClellan said. 'Then the Germans launched a few shells over and killed two or three at that.' McClellan ended up in the kitchen, on the advice of his friend. He mostly drew up rations. 'He signed us up [to be] cooks. I said, 'I can't boil water.' He said I can't neither,' McClellan recalled. 'But he said I thought it'd be safer, so that's where I spent my time in Rome.' The Army helped him get his education after he got out. He then landed a job at Eastman. He's also been involved in the Gate City community. 'About 63 years I've been in Civitan,' he said. 'It gives you a sense of helping people. And we help a lot of people and a lot of things, and all clubs do that.' Friends and family gathered at the Civitan Park to celebrate his milestone birthday. 'I just keep breathing, I don't know why I'm here. I don't think I've done anything different,' he said. 'They just haven't rung the bell yet.' News Channel 11 asked McClellan what he did to make it to this milestone. 'I tried to take care of myself, and if I have a sickness, I don't try to doctor myself,' he said. He also encouraged others to get involved in their community, whether it be a club or a church, because he fears volunteerism is dying out. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
