Georgia will host Notre Dame LB commit Thomas Davis Jr. on an official visit this weekend
While Notre Dame football has had plenty of success recruiting former NFL players son's, for linebacker commit Thomas Davis Jr., there seems to be a late pull towards his father's alma mater Georgia.
The 6-foot, 2-inch and 205-pound prospect made his verbal commitment to the Irish in November of last year, but has been flirting with the Bulldogs recently. Davis was offered by them earlier this month, and it was enough for him to schedule an official visit to Athens this weekend according to a report from On3.
The nation's No. 189 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings should now be put on a flip watch, as the only other official he had scheduled was to visit South Bend in two weeks.
Hopefully that isn't the case, as Davis is just making sure that he has made the right decision with his commitment to Notre Dame. This situation is one to monitor going forward, as the only other linebacker commit that the Irish have in the 2026 class is Jakobe Clapper.

Chiefs scouting report: Iowa Hawkeyes DE Max Llewellyn
The Kansas City Chiefs have one of the best collections of power rushers in the NFL. It's time for the team to diversify some of the body types in its defensive end room. Several 2026 NFL draft prospects, including Texas Tech's David Bailey, Iowa's Max Llewellyn and Oklahoma's R Mason Thomas, offer the explosiveness to electrify Kansas City's pass rush. Llewellyn is a quick pass rusher with the immediate burst to stress offensive tackles vertically. Many offensive linemen break out of their usual pass set form and chase or overextend to match Llewellyn's speed. This leaves the linemen off balance and vulnerable to counters or line games. Llewellyn sets offensive tackles up with his speed rush early in games before attacking the B-gap later on. He's a fluid athlete who counters inside without sacrificing any momentum. While he sometimes attacks the B-gap with a speed rush off the line, he also works across the offensive tackle's face mid-play when he feels his outside rush won't get home. Llewellyn's pass rush plan includes chops, club-swims, long-arms, rips, swipe-rips, two-handed swipes and one of the best spin moves in the class. Llewellyn has mastered every element of the spin. He sets up offensive linemen for his best move with long strides that force them to overset, creating room in the B-gap for an inside spin. He also uses head fakes and some hip movement to manipulate the offensive tackle's leverage. It might sound like Llewellyn's pass rush plan is complete, but it's still a developmental part of his game. He relies too much on his spin move. He posts several wins per game with the spin, but offensive linemen eventually adjust and counter its effectiveness. Once this happens, Llewellyn doesn't have other polished, NFL-caliber moves that he feels comfortable deploying. Llewellyn currently projects as a late top 100 selection but could elevate into the second round if he refines his pass rush plan and unlocks his bend more often. He shows flashes of playing low to flatten his rush angle and beat the offensive tackle around their outside shoulder. However, his high pad level makes it difficult for him to bend around the corner consistently. Llewellyn's value in run defense is questionable, at best. He shows good effort but lacks the mass to anchor at the point of attack. Iowa doesn't play him in goal line situations because he lacks the play strength to consistently stack blocks and pinch run lanes. These concerns make Llewellyn a candidate to serve as a designated pass rusher early in his career.

Tua Tagovailoa on Tyreek Hill's relationship with the team after trade comments: 'He is working on himself'
Tua Tagovailoa claimed that Miami Dolphins teammate and wide receiver Tyreek Hill is rebuilding his relationship with the quarterback and the rest of the team after his "I'm out" comments at the end of last season. Speaking to media members from training camp on Wednesday morning, Tagovailoa provided some insight about where he and the team stand with their star receiver. 'When you say something like that, you don't just come back with 'My bad.' You gotta work that relationship up. He is working on himself," Tagovailoa said. The comments in question came after the Dolphins' campaign ended with a 32-20 loss to a struggling New York Jets team. Following a frustrating season, Hill seemingly threw in the towel, saying, "I'm out." "This is my first time not being in the playoffs," Hill pointed out. "I just gotta do what's best for me and my family. If that's here or wherever the case may be, man. I'm [going to] open that door for myself. I'm out, bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, I gotta do what's best for my career because I'm too much of a competitor to be just out there." [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] The statement came after the Dolphins went 8-9 this past season. As for Hill, his numbers suffered along with the team. After breaking 1,700 receiving yards and reaching the playoffs in back-to-back seasons, Hill posted just 959 yards — his lowest receiving total since 2019, where he totaled 860 yards in just 12 games played. While he hinted at a trade request, Cheetah has returned to Miami for another season. Hill was traded to Miami from Kansas City in 2022 and signed a four-year, $120 million contract. His deal was restructured in 2024 to include $90 million over the three seasons that followed, with $65 million guaranteed over the remainder of his tenure. After his comments, Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus reiterated his commitment to the team, saying, 'What you see with Tyreek is very genuine.' "He wants to win. It's not good enough for him not to make the playoffs. He is very passionate. I think at the end of the day, he is committed to this Dolphins football team.' The Dolphins will open their 2025 season on September 7 in Chicago against the Bears.
