Elite DL projected to commit to Texas

USA Today19-06-2025
Texas has 13 total commitments in their 2026 class with five coming this month alone. According to Steve Wiltfong and Chad Simmons of On3, another one is on the way soon. They both put in predictions for the Longhorns to land four-star defensive lineman Vodney Cleveland.
On3's industry rankings have Cleveland pegged as the nation's No. 120 player overall and the No. 11 defensive lineman. The 6-foot-3, 305-pounder is also the No. 8 prospect in the state of Alabama.
Speaking of Alabama, Cleveland was once committed to the Crimson Tide but reopened his recruitment after getting decommitted last December. Currently, Cleveland has 38 scholarship offers.
It was a productive junior campaign for Cleveland at Parker High School. He amassed 50 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks.
The Longhorns already have four-star defensive line prospects Dylan Berymon and Corey Wells committed for the 2026 cycle. Adding another piece like Cleveland would certainly help solidify the group overall.

Young scores 24 points, Loyd and Bell switch roles and Aces roll past Wings 106-80

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jackie Young scored 24 points, Jewell Loyd had a strong game off the bench and the Las Vegas Aces beat the Dallas Wings, who rested rookie star Paige Bueckers, 106-80 on Sunday. Loyd came off the bench for the first time in her first season with the Aces to score 20 points, and Kierstan Bell replaced her and scored a career-high 19. The duo combined for seven 3-pointers as Las Vegas hit a season high 15, with five from Young. A'ja Wilson scored 14 points with 10 rebounds and seven assists for Las Vegas (13-13), which snapped a two-game losing skid. NaLyssa Smith scored 11 points. Arike Ogunbowale scored 18 for the Wings (7-19) with Haley Jones adding 15, DiJonai Carrington 14 and Teaira McCowan 12 with 13 rebounds. Young had 14 points on four 3-pointers for the Aces in the first quarter, which ended with the score tied at 27, and the Wings shot 59%. Bell hit a 3-pointer to put the Aces up 39-36 midway through the second quarter and followed with another as Las Vegas surged to a 56-44 halftime lead. It was the 10th 50-point half Dallas allowed and the second straight. Dallas only had 12 turnovers but the Aces turned those into 26 points while the Wings got 10 points off 10 turnovers. Becky Hammon earned her 100th regular-season win, became the third-fastest coach to reach the milestone in 142 games. ___ AP WNBA:
