Nebraska football is going to get a visit from class of 2026 four-star wide receiver Nalin Scott on April 12. Rivals.com's Sam Spiegelman reported this on Wednesday.
According to the 247Sports Rankings, Scott is the 216th-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the 35th-ranked wide receiver, and the 21st-ranked player from the state of Georgia.
He has several offers on the table, including Georgia, Auburn, Florida, and Michigan. Scott is scheduled to visit the Gators on March 15 and Michigan on April 5.
The wide receiver had a tremendous season in 2024 for McEachern High School in Georgia. He had 23 receptions for 302 yards last season and showed that he could be a receiving threat. He also had nine carries for 27 yards.
Currently, the 2026 Nebraska football recruiting class ranks 44th overall nationally per the 247Sports Team Rankings. Scott would be a big-time playmaker for the program and just another major weapon in a talented wide receiver room. The Huskers have an opportunity to make a strong impression.

After loss to Tigers, Twins make room for Royce Lewis' return by designating Jonah Bride
DETROIT — Following Tarik Skubal's dominance on Sunday night, the Twins designated backup infielder Jonah Bride for assignment, presumably to make room for Royce Lewis. A team source confirmed Bride was DFA'd by the Twins after a 3-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers, a contest controlled by Skubal. The American League's reigning Cy Young winner tied a career high with 13 strikeouts, and he and two relievers combined on a two-hit shutout. Advertisement Bride, who was acquired for cash in a trade from Miami on April 16, received hugs and handshakes from several coaches after manager Rocco Baldelli informed him of the decision. The move properly aligns with the return of Lewis, who should be activated before the Twins open a three-game series at the Miami Marlins on Tuesday night. Out since June 15 with a left hamstring strain, Lewis emerged healthy after appearing in a third consecutive rehab game for Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday afternoon. Lewis played third base Sunday after operating as the team's designated hitter in the first two games. He went 0-for-8 with a walk and two strikeouts on his assignment. Though he's struggled at the plate this season, the Twins could have used the potential right-handed thump from Lewis against Skubal, who retired the first 13 batters he faced before Ty France singled with one out in the fifth inning. The Twins were no match for Skubal, who struck out eight of the first nine batters he faced. THIRTEEN SHUTOUT FRAMES. TARIK. SKUBAL. — MLB (@MLB) June 30, 2025 'He's (one of the) best pitchers, if not the best pitchers, in the game right now,' catcher Ryan Jeffers said. 'You try and come up with a good plan to try and attack your at-bats, but he's really good and has the ability of doing whatever. He can throw all changeups, and you're on the fastball — you go up on the fastball for an at-bat, and he uses all changeup or you go up there, 'Hey, I'm going to try to be on the changeup,' and then he'll just throw 99 at you. He does a really good job of not letting you find a pattern or get on one pattern or one pitch.' Lewis, who's hitting .202/.282/.303 with two home runs and nine RBIs in 110 plate appearances, missed the Twins' first 35 games after straining the same left hamstring on March 16. Upon returning to the lineup on May 6, Lewis immediately struggled, going hitless in his first 15 at-bats. Though Lewis went nine for his next 30, he slumped again, this time going hitless in 32 at-bats, a streak which ended on June 4. Advertisement Right before his latest injury, Lewis finally found rhythm at the plate, going 11-for-28. He suffered the injury running down the line after hitting a single in a June 14 loss at Houston. Despite his struggles at the plate, the Twins are 18-12 with Lewis in the lineup. The Twins are 22-32 when Lewis doesn't play. Facing a slew of position player injuries in April, the Twins acquired Bride after the Marlins designated him for assignment. The Twins hoped they could help Bride rediscover the form that led him to hit .276/.357/.461 with 11 homers for Miami last season. After making a slight adjustment with the positioning of his hands, Bride began his Twins tenure by going 7-for-14. However, with Brooks Lee, Kody Clemens and Lewis receiving the bulk of the playing time, at-bats became more sporadic for Bride, who only had eight hits in his last 58 at-bats for the Twins. Bride gained far more notoriety for pitching in blowout losses. He worked in four games, allowing 10 earned runs and 14 hits in six innings.

Detroit Pistons' Malik Beasley Reportedly Subject of Federal Gambling Investigation
Detroit Pistons star Malik Beasley is reportedly the subject of a new gambling investigation regarding NBA game bets. News broke on Sunday, June 29, that the U.S. district attorney's office was looking into Beasley, 28, on allegations of gambling. ESPN, who broke the news, reported that prominent betting sites detected unusually heavy interest in Beasley's statistics in 2024. Advertisement Beasley's lawyer swiftly addressed the accusations, asserting that the guard has not yet been charged with a crime. 'An investigation is not a charge,' Beasley's attorney, Steve Haney, told ESPN in a statement. 'Malik is afforded the same right of the presumption of innocence as anyone else under the U.S. Constitution. As of now, he has not been charged with anything.' Detroit Pistons Star Malik Beasley's Wife Montana Yao Files for Separation Before 5th Anniversary Us Weekly has reached out for comment. Beasley, who previously played basketball with the Milwaukee Bucks, signed with the Pistons in June 2024. Both the Pistons and the NBA as a whole have pledged to cooperate with the investigation. Advertisement 'We are cooperating with the federal prosecutors' investigation,' NBA spokesperson Mike Bass told NBC Sports in a statement. Beasley was previously arrested in 2020 for a felony weapons charge. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 120 days in jail with a three-year probation. The pro athlete served his sentence after the 2020-2021 NBA season, later receiving a 12-game suspension from the league. That same year, Beasley's then-wife, Montana Yao, filed for divorce after he was rumored to be dating Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen. (Beasley and Yao, now 27, share son Makai, who was born in 2019.) Nia Long's Ex Ime Udoka Gets New Basketball Coaching Job With Houston Rockets After Cheating Scandal Advertisement 'I wanna say sorry for putting you in the situation you were put in the last few months. my head wasn't were it was supposed to be,' Beasley wrote in a May 2021 statement, apologizing to Yao. 'I was looking for more when it was right here that whole time. I'm telling the world and you that there's nobody like you for me.' He added, 'For the record, I was the one who ended my last relationship off the fact that there is no one like you. Also, for the record, I wanted to do my own 'cuz I just left u guys and I def ain't the type to set up pictures at the mall … that's some childish ish and I'm trying to grow individually and grow a family. I ain't looking to be judged. I'm looking for forgiveness. To forgive me for hurting my family the way I did.' Yao later withdrew her petition, only to file again in March of this year.

Tigers ace Tarik Skubal strikes out 8 Twins in 3 innings, 13 total in dominant, 1-hit win
There was no need for Tarik Skubal to change things up because his changeup was working. The Tigers ace used his best off-speed pitch in a dominant 13-strikeout effort on Sunday to lead Detroit to a 3-0 win over the Minnesota Twins. Advertisement The the hard-throwing lefty fanned five of the first six Minnesota Twins faced. He got all of them swinging. That was the ninth time Skubal has collected five strikeouts through two innings of a game, twice more than any other Tigers pitcher since the mound was lowered in 1969, according to Sarah Langs. Fast forward to the top of the third inning, and the 2024 AL Cy Young Award winner struck out the side. He got second baseman Brooks Lee with a four-seam fastball. Then he went back to his changeup to punch out third baseman Jonah Bride and catcher Christian Vázquez. They went down swinging, too. Advertisement After his seventh straight K, Tigers faithful erupted in Comerica Park. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound Skubal walked off with well-deserved swagger that his 52-win team commands. For the first time in his career, Skubal had eight strikeouts through three innings. Before the next inning's end, the 28-year-old southpaw had struck out all nine batters in Minnesota's lineup. Skubal didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning. It was a single. And it was the only hit he allowed all day. He didn't allow a walk until the sixth inning. It was on a full count. Skubal had 11 strikeouts by that point, and his Tigers had a 3-0 lead, in large part thanks to right fielder Kerry Carpenter, who homered in the first and then hit an RBI triple in the fifth. Advertisement Skubal set a new single-game career high in the seventh inning with his ninth strikeout via changeup. That same frame, he upped his K total to 13, getting Twins first baseman Ty France looking on a 99 mph four-seam fastball. After that, his day was done. His final line: 7 innings pitched, 1 hit, 1 walk, 13 strikeouts, 0 runs. Skubal entered the night with a 2.29 ERA and a 9-2 record to go along with his 125 strikeouts — the fourth most in baseball — and an MLB-leading 0.87 WHIP. His ERA dropped to 2.15 after Sunday's seven shutout innings.
