Report: Utah F Keanu Dawes withdraws from transfer portal
The 6-foot-9 sophomore forward averaged 8.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 18.6 minutes per game while shooting 61.4 percent from the field in 31 games (two starts) in his first season with the Utes (16-17, 8-12 Big 12).
Dawes collected a team-high 19 points and a game-high 11 rebounds as a starter in the Utes' last game, an 86-84 loss to Butler on Monday in the College Basketball Crown. He made a big impact late in the season with four double-doubles in the team's last six games.
He will be playing for Alex Jensen, who will take over as the Utes' head coach after completing the NBA season as an assistant coach with the Dallas Mavericks. Josh Eilert has served as interim head coach since Craig Smith's firing in February.
Dawes was voted to the 2023-24 American Athletic Conference All-Freshman team in his lone season at Rice, where he averaged 6.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 32 games (23 starts).

Wisconsin football offers five-star recruit in the class of 2027
Wisconsin football is setting its sights high in the 2027 recruiting cycle, especially at the tight end position. After offering four-star TE Jaxon Dollar on Tuesday, the program also extended an offer to five-star TE Ahmad Hudson -- one of the nation's top players in the class. 247Sports specifically ranks Hudson as the No. 10 overall player in the 2027 cycle, the No. 1 tight end and the No. 1 player from his home state of Louisiana. Wisconsin is unsurprisingly not alone on the five-star recruit's offer sheet. As of July 23, other programs in pursuit of Hudson include Alabama, Florida State, LSU, Texas A&M, Auburn, Florida, Miami, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Texas and USC. 247Sports currently lists Alabama, Baylor, Florida State, in-state LSU and Texas A&M as the early favorites in his recruitment, while On3/Rivals gives LSU (95.9%) a prohibitive early advantage over Nebraska (2%) and others. The 6-foot-6 tight end prospect is also a four-star power forward recruit on the basketball court. Only LSU, Grambling State and Louisiana Tech are listed on his basketball offer sheet. Wisconsin will have significant competition for Hudson's commitment. The program has not landed a five-star recruit since offensive tackle Nolan Rucci during the 2021 cycle. It only has five five-star signees in the online recruiting rankings era: 2001 DT Anttaj Hawthorne, 2003 DE Justin Ostrowski, 2007 OT Josh Oglesby, 2019 OT Logan Brown and Rucci. As noted in our story on Wisconsin's offer to Dollar, another blue-chip tight end in the class, the program is looking to rebuild its tight end room as it transitions back to a pro-style system on offense. Top talent at the position will be paramount to the scheme's success. That reality differs from Phil Longo's air raid scheme, which put more emphasis on speed and talent at wide receiver.

Texas Earns Commitment From Top 10 College Football Recruit
Texas Earns Commitment From Top 10 College Football Recruit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Texas Longhorns landed a recruit from ACC country on Friday via the 2026 recruiting class. On3's Hayes Fawcett reported that four-star cornerback Samari Matthews committed to the Longhorns over the South Carolina Gamecocks, Florida State Seminoles and Miami Hurricanes. Matthews is a native of Huntersville, North Carolina, and attends Williams Amos Hough High School. He is listed at 6-feet-tall, 180 pounds. He also held offers from the North Carolina Tar Heels, Georgia Bulldogs, Alabama Crimson Tide, Penn State Nittany Lions, and others. Matthews is the second corner from the 2026 class to pick the Longhorns, joining four-star prospect Hayward Howard Jr. Matthews is the No. 9 cornerback in the On3 Industry Rankings for the 2026 cycle. He is also the No. 6 prospect from the state of North Carolina. The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine had South Carolina as the next closest team to land the corner, at 14.5%. Matthews joins a class highlighted by five-star quarterback Dia Bell, five-star edge rusher Richard Wesley and four-star inside offensive lineman John Turntine. While Texas added the commitment of Matthews, the Longhorns have missed on a couple of prospects from the class lately. Four-star athlete Jalen Lott chose the Oregon Ducks over Texas. The top athlete from the class, Lamar Brown, named Texas a finalist, but ultimately committed to the LSU Tigers. Head coach Steve Sarkisian is fresh off a consecutive College Football Playoff berth and took his team to the SEC Championship Game in year one in the conference. Texas faces the Ohio State Buckeyes to open the 2025 season on August story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
