Illinois transfer RB expected to visit Georgia football
Illinois Fighting Illini transfer running back Josh McCray is reportedly planning to visit the Georgia Bulldogs. McCray is one of the top running backs available in the transfer portal.
The 6-foot-1, 235-pound running back has excellent size and could help Georgia replace running back Branson Robinson, who entered the transfer portal this spring. McCray also has a solid track record of production.
As a junior, McCray posted 117 carries for 609 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns (tied for No. 9 in the Big Ten) in 2024. He also added 13 receptions for 116 yards and one touchdown. McCray would be a good complement to Georgia's projected starting running back Nate Frazier, who is shifty and elusive, but does not have McCray's size.
McCray is from Enterprise, Alabama. He was originally a three-star recruit in the class of 2021. He's spent the first four seasons of his college football career with Illinois. McCray missed the majority of the season in both 2022 and 2023 due to injuries.
The bruising running back has 291 carries, 1,370 rushing yards, and 14 rushing touchdowns in his college football career. He's appeared in 33 games including two starts. McCray's top performance last season came in Illinois' 21-17 Cheez-It Citrus Bowl win over the South Carolina Gamecocks. He recorded 114 rushing yards on 13 carries and scored two rushing touchdowns.

Cubs' Craig Counsell Delivers Stern Message to Cade Horton After Rough Start
Cubs' Craig Counsell Delivers Stern Message to Cade Horton After Rough Start originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Chicago Cubs rookie pitcher Cade Horton took the mound Friday night for his eighth start of the season, kicking off a three-game series with the Houston Astros. Advertisement Horton has been one of the young starting pitchers the Cubs have leaned on during the absence of Justin Steele and Shota Imanaga, and he's performed quite well. Coming into Friday night, Horton held a 3.73 ERA, which was good for third among the Cubs starters, behind just Imanaga and Matthew Boyd. However, Friday night was a rough outing for the young pitcher. After working through traffic in the first two innings, Horton couldn't get out of the third inning without the Astros getting on the board. Horton allowed three base runners in each of the first two innings, but escaped unscathed. In the third, he loaded the bases with no outs and surrendered his first run on a sacrifice fly. After striking out Christian Walker to create a path out of the inning, Astros catcher Yainer Diaz hit a three-run home run to put Houston up 4-0. Advertisement In the fourth inning, Horton allowed back-to-back singles followed by a second three-run home run. This time by outfielder Cam Smith, who the Cubs traded to the Astros this offseason. Horton's night was done after four innings. He gave up seven runs on eight hits and four walks. "I thought we had a good game plan going into it. I just never really caught my footing - let up too many walks, hit a guy up 0-2 - just a recipe for disaster," Horton said after the game. "I got my (expletive) kicked today." Horton's ERA rose to 4.80 after last night's outing. Manager Craig Counsell had a stern message for the rookie pitcher postgame, but also saw the performance as a learning experience. Advertisement "This was a really good regular season environment. The fans do a great job. This place is loud always. I just told Cade that this is a good example of what the playoffs are going to look like," Counsell said postgame. "Turn it up a couple notches, but of a road game we've that played this year, this is probably the best example that Cade's had of what it turns into against a tough lineup. So, that's the lesson you kind of take from it, and he'll be better next time." The Cubs' skipper showed confidence in his young starter at the end of his quote. After all, it was only Horton's eighth start in the major leagues, and he did so in a pretty electric environment. Chicago Cubs pitcher Cade Horton (22) delivers a pitch against the New York Mets during the second inning at Citi Fisher-Imagn Images As if two of the top teams in MLB meeting midway through the season with the same record wouldn't be enough to get the Astros' crowd riled up. Horton was also pitching on the night of the return of two former World Series champions in Kyle Tucker and Ryan Pressly, who joined the Cubs this offseason from the Astros. Advertisement It was an emotional night all around, and Horton happened to be the guy on the bump for the Cubs. However, Counsell seems confident his young pitcher will bounce back and be better next time out. The only other time Horton gave up four or more runs in an outing this season, the following start, he bounced back, throwing 5.2 scoreless innings. The Cubs and Astros will play the second game of their weekend series Saturday in Houston at 6:15 p.m. on FOX.

LSU Sends Angel Reese Message After Chicago Sky's 11th Defeat
LSU Sends Angel Reese Message After Chicago Sky's 11th Defeat originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been a rough start to the season for Tyler Marsh and the Chicago Sky. On Friday night, they battled hard on the road against Golden State but came up short, losing 83-78 to the Valkyries. Advertisement That marked the Sky's 11th loss in 15 games, leaving them near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings; only Connecticut has fared worse so far. Still, there was a bright spot. Angel Reese delivered another impressive performance. The second-year forward out of LSU racked up 17 points and 18 rebounds, notching her third straight double-double and 10th of the season. After the game, the Tigers showed love to their former star, posting: "Nothing new for our double-double queens tonight." Over her last three games, Reese is averaging 15 points and 18 rebounds. While she shot just 7-for-16 from the field against the Valkyries, she made both free throws and connected on one of two 3-point attempts. Advertisement Reese played at LSU from 2022-24, helping the Tigers win the national title in 2023. She earned tournament Most Outstanding Player honors under head coach Kim Mulkey during that historic run. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5) had 17 points and 18 rebounds on Friday against the Golden State Gonzales-Imagn Images LSU also recognized the performance of another former Tiger, Aneesah Morrow.
