Nebraska makes strong impression on four-star wide receiver
Nebraska makes strong impression on four-star wide receiver
Nebraska football hosted class of 2026 four-star wide receiver Nalin Scott over the weekend. He announced his visit on social media Sunday.
Scott is the 183rd overall player in the 2026 class, the 26th in the state of Georgia, and the 23rd overall player at his position per Rivals rankings. Scott has 34 offers in total and has been busy last month. He visited Michigan on April 5, Nebraska on Saturday, and Arizona State on April 25.
The wideout recorded 29 receptions for 541 yards and two touchdowns last season, averaging 18.7 yards per reception. He is a versatile athlete, having played the wide receiver, tight end, and outside linebacker positions in high school as noted by his profile on Maxpreps.com.
Nebraska football has several offensive playmakers in the 2026 class, starting with quarterback Dayton Raiola. They also have a wide receiver in the fold in Dveyoun Bonwell-Witte.
It sounds as though the program made a strong impression on Scott, and it's certainly a good sign that he's coming back to Lincoln to visit. He is a dynamic playmaker and could fit nicely in the Huskers' offense.

Former star Alabama pitcher released by MLB team
After being designated for assignment by the organization a few days ago, former Alabama Crimson Tide pitcher Spencer Turnbull has been officially released by the Toronto Blue Jays, per the team's MLB transactions' page. Prior to his release, Turnbull had made only three appearances with the Blue Jays so far this season, one of which was a start. Over that sample size, which was 6.1 innings pitched, the right-hander owned a 1-1 record with a 7.11 ERA and a 4:4 K:BB ratio. The former Alabama right-hander also made five starts in the minor leagues this season with Toronto's organization where he owned a 7.13 ERA across 17.2 innings pitched. Following his release by Toronto, Turnbull will now reenter free agency where the veteran right-hander will look for a new team.

Tyler Boyd says he'd ‘absolutely' play for Steelers — could Pittsburgh bring the WR home?
The Steelers' next wide receiver might've just revealed himself — as free-agent WR Tyler Boyd recently discussed the opportunity to play for Pittsburgh. Boyd may have spent eight seasons as a Bengal, but the born-and-raised yinzer welcomed a return to Pittsburgh when asked if he'd play for the Steelers: "Absolutely," Boyd told Pittsburgh Sports Now. "You know, all my family is here. I'd be able to have the majority of them be able to support me.' He added more fuel to a speculative Steelers signing, stating that his relationship with HC Mike Tomlin goes way back to his days as a Pitt Panther: "I'm real cool with Tomlin,' Boyd said. 'He's always been a good person. We always wrapped it up. When I was at Pitt, we had a good relationship.' Boyd signed a one-year deal with the Titans in 2024 but struggled to make an impact on his team, accumulating 390 receiving yards and zero touchdowns on just 39 receptions — a far cry from his days as a 1,000-yard receiver on the Bengals. The Aaron Rodgers-led Steelers could really use the presence of a bona fide slot receiver — and Boyd could use the opportunity to prove he still has more left in the tank in his hometown.

Detroit Tigers return to Sunday Night Baseball for first time since 2017
Detroit Tigers return to Sunday Night Baseball for first time since 2017 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been over eight years since Detroit played under the Sunday night lights at Comerica Park. Advertisement Tarik Skubal was still in college. The last time ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" rolled through Detroit, in May 2017, Skubal was recovering from Tommy John surgery and redshirting at Seattle University. He wouldn't pitch again until 2018. Now he's a Cy Young winner, and he's taking the mound Sunday against the Twins as the Tigers return to the national stage. A lot has changed. Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal celebrates after an inning-ending double play against the Cleveland Guardians during Game 2 of the ALDS at Progressive Field on Oct. 7, Richard-Imagn Images Fidget spinners were the hottest thing on the internet. TikTok hadn't even launched. Aaron Judge was a rookie with raw power and zero endorsements. The iPhone 7 was new. Miguel Cabrera still hit over .300. The Tigers were starting Anibal Sanchez and trotting out a lineup with Ian Kinsler, Justin Upton, Victor Martinez and Nicholas Castellanos, now known as Nick. Advertisement Since then, the world has turned over a few times too. COVID-19 shut down everything in 2020. Stadiums went quiet. Fans were replaced by cardboard cutouts and pumped-in crowd noise. Elbow bumps replaced high-fives. But the world came back to life, and baseball did too. And the Tigers? They've clawed their way back. Tonight, Comerica gets the national spotlight again. A big-time matchup in a division race, led by one of the best pitchers in baseball. Detroit spent a long time in the shadows. But with Skubal on the mound, the Tigers are back And, they're dangerous. It's been more than 2,900 days since Detroit last hosted "Sunday Night Baseball." The lights are back on. The city's buzzing. And the Tigers? Advertisement They're finally back in the conversation.
