Wisconsin football reportedly interested in D-II transfer wide receiver
The Division II transfer has recently received significant Football Bowl Subdivision interest, according to his agent. Other programs in pursuit include Stanford, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Kent State and Arkansas State.

Tate recently entered the portal after four-plus seasons at Clarion. The 6-foot, 180-pound wideout dominated in 2024, totaling 1,137 yards and five touchdowns on 65 receptions. That output followed 14 catches and 188 yards in five appearances in 2023, 29 receptions, 293 yards and three touchdowns over 11 games in 2022, plus 12 catches, 167 yards and a score in nine games in 2021. The receiver's career tallies at the D-II level: 120 receptions, 1,785 yards and nine touchdowns.
Wisconsin is still looking to add wide receiver depth after the spring transfer departures of Mark Hamper (who has since committed to Cal) and Quincy Burroughs. Tate, an honorable mention D-II All-American last season, could fill that role.
The Badgers do not appear alone in pursuing the D-II standout. Pittsburgh and West Virginia are each within moderate proximity of Clarion, Pennsylvania, and could have an upper hand in Tate's recruitment. With no visits reported, the favorites for the receiver's commitment are unclear.

From a Wisconsin perspective, Tate can now be added to the team's list of recent transfer wide receiver interests. That list also includes UConn transfer Jasaiah Gathings and Hawaii transfer Dekel Crowdus. The position appears to be the last of the program's transfer pursuits, with movement from the spring window mostly concluded.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh emerges as betting favorite to win 2025 Home Run Derby
The post Mariners' Cal Raleigh emerges as betting favorite to win 2025 Home Run Derby appeared first on ClutchPoints. The 2025 Home Run Derby is just two days away. The derby is always one of the top events to watch in sports, as there is nothing like seeing a ton of baseballs being hit out of the park. The field is set with eight sluggers ready to win their first-ever derby. Atlanta Braves' Matt Olson is replacing Ronald Acuna Jr. for the derby, keeping at least one hometown player in the event. Acuna did not want to risk an injury. When the field was initially set, Pittsburgh Pirates' Oneil Cruz was the betting favorite to win the event. Now, Cruz is no longer the favorite. After Cal Raleigh smashed two home runs on Friday night, the slugging catcher found his odds at the top to win the derby. This should be expected, as the catcher has an astonishing 38 homers before the All-Star break. He is on pace for 65+ homers on the season, which would put him in a category of his own when it comes to power-hitting catchers. The switch-hitter doesn't seem to be slowing down either. Raleigh joins more historic company with his latest two-homer game. Here are the odds to win the 2025 Home Run Derby, courtesy of FanDuel. Cal Raleigh: +280 Oneil Cruz: +350 James Wood: +400 Matt Olson: +750 Byron Buxton: +850 Brent Rooker: +1000 Junior Caminero: +1100 Jazz Chisholm: +1500 It is unclear if Raleigh will hit from the right side or the left. It's expected that he will bat left-handed, as right field is shorter than left at Truist Park. Raleigh, Wood, Cruz, and Olson all have the top odds as they are batting from the left side. Chisholm is not expected to win, but he has a smooth swing that could smash a ton over the fence. This could be anyone's derby to win, but with the way Raleigh is smashing home runs left and right, it's hard not to imagine him not winning the event.

Congratulations Pouring In For T.J. Watt On Thursday
Congratulations Pouring In For T.J. Watt On Thursday originally appeared on The Spun. For weeks if not months there has been grumbling over All-Pro pass rusher T.J. Watt's contract status with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Well, those concerns were finally addressed today. According to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, Watt has signed a three-year, $123 million extension that includes over $100 million guaranteed. At $41 million per year, it is the highest average salary for a non-quarterback in NFL history. "ESPN sources: Steelers star TJ Watt has become the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history for the second time in his illustrious career, reaching agreement today on a three-year, $123 million extension that includes $108M fully guaranteed at signing. The $41 million per year average is the highest of any non-quarterback in NFL history. The deal has been in the works between CAA Sports and the Steelers front office for months," Schefter wrote. Congratulations quickly began pouring in for Watt after he finally got his long-awaited contract extension: "Done before camp. Way to go, Omar Khan and company. Watt highest paid pass rusher in football. As expected. #Steelers," one user replied. "He deserves it more than anybody. Best Pass rusher in football and a complete game changer," wrote another. "Well deserved. He's one of the best at his position," a third wrote. "Worth. Every. Penny." "MY KING!!! LET'S GO GET A RING!!!" "One of the only players in the league I'd put all my chips down on. Well deserved!" Despite some speculation that a deal might not get done, there doesn't seem to have ever been any real interest in a parting of the ways between Watt and the Steelers. He's been the face of the franchise since Ben Roethlisberger retired and his defensive dominance has allowed the Steelers to remain as perennial playoff contenders even when their offenses have been downright atrocious. If there was ever a non-quarterback worth backing up the Brinks truck for, it's Watt. That said, the Steelers still have no shortage of questions heading into the 2025 season. Most of those questions center on new quarterback Aaron Rodgers and how he'll perform in Pittsburgh. But at least the Steelers finally have their answer on Pouring In For T.J. Watt On Thursday first appeared on The Spun on Jul 17, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 17, 2025, where it first appeared.

Exciting Penguins Prospect Named Among Top Young Goalies
The Pittsburgh Penguins are hopeful that goaltender Joel Blomqvist will become a long-term answer for them between the pipes. It is understandable, as the 23-year-old has shown promise at the American Hockey League (AHL) level with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins early on in his career.
