Why is Trinity Rodman at Wimbledon? USWNT star in relationship with Ben Shelton
American Ben Shelton secured a top in the final 16 at Wimbledon on Sunday, June 5 — and he made some headlines in the process. Shelton, 22, became the youngest American man to make the final 16 at three majors in one season, dating back to Andy Roddick achieving the same feat in 2004. He has also won each of his three matches so far by straight sets. REQUIRED READING: Ben Shelton, Trinity Rodman make relationship Instagram official The Florida native also shouted out his friends and family after his third-round win, which included another sports star in United States women's soccer star Trinity Rodman. Now, the No. 10-ranked player in the world is looking for his first grand slam victory, with his furthest finish being the semifinals at the U.S. Open in 2023 and Australian Open in 2025. Here's what to know of Shelton and Rodman's relationship, and why the U.S. soccer star is at Wimbledon cheering on Shelton: Why is Trinity Rodman at Wimbledon? Rodman, a forward for the Washington Spirit of the NWSL, has been at each of Shelton's Wimbledon matches. The two make quite the sports power couple. The dynamic athletes went public with their relationship on March 18 after Shelton posted pictures to Instagram. Shelton even shouted out Rodman after his third-round win on July 5 over Marton Fucsovics. "It's not just been me here, I have a great team. My parents are here, my girlfriend's here," Shelton said as the ESPN broadcast panned to Shelton's parents and Rodman in the stands. Shelton also spoke with USA TODAY in April on his relationship with Rodman. "She's great," he said. "I think we're both very happy. And yeah, it's been cool getting to know her and spend time with her." Who is Trinity Rodman? Rodman is a 23-year-old soccer player who's one of the best scorers for the U.S. Women's National Team. Rodman, the daughter of Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, scored three goals at the 2024 Paris Olympics to help lead the United States to a gold medal. She was also the youngest person ever drafted to the NWSL (18 years old) after going No. 2 overall to the Washington Spirit in 2021. The Guardian ranked Rodman the No. 5 player in the world in 2024, with fellow American forward Sophia Wilson at No. 3 on the list. Rodman's signature moment of her young USWNT career came in the knockout round against Japan, when she sent the U.S. to the semifinals of the 2024 Paris Olympics after scoring an extra-time goal to win 1-0. Rodman was initially enrolled to play soccer at Washington State but opted to forgo her college career to play professionally in the NWSL. Her brother, DJ Rodman, played basketball at Washington State and USC.

Ben Shelton advances to Round 4 of Wimbledon Championships
For the third time this year, Ben Shelton has reached the fourth round of a Grand Slam event; this time at the Wimbledon Championship. The former Florida Gators and current No. 10-ranked player in the world defeated Australian Rinky Hijikata in straight sets, 6-2, 7-5, 6-4 in Round 2 on Thursday/Friday, and he took down Hungarian Marton Fucsovics, 6-3, 7-6(4), 6-2 in the third round on Saturday. Shelton reached the fourth round of Wimbledon a year ago only to fall in straight sets to World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. He'll have to defeat Italian Lorenzo Sonego to reach the quarter-finals this year, and his prize is a rematch against Sinner with even more at stake. Round 2: Shelton def. Hijikata (6-2, 7-5, 6-4) Shelton once again relied on his powerful left-handed score to cruise through the second round on Thursday. He hit 47 winners and 11 aces while winning 75% of first serves. A controversial suspension of play interrupted the dominant win, however. Both players asked for a stoppage earlier in the match due to fading light. When the umpire made the call with just one round left, both players and the fans erupted in protest. Shelton channeled those frustrations into a win the very next day. He only needed one minute to secure the win, making good on the shot he called while pleading with the umpire the night before. Round 3: Shelton def. Fucsovics (6-3, 7-6(4), 6-2) Shelton continued his dominant run through the first weekend of Wimbledon by winning 81% of his first serves, delivering nine aces and zero double faults. It only took two hours for Shelton to advance, which is beneficial after losing a day of rest thanks to the stoppage during Round 2. During the match, Shelton sent serves at 145, 146, 147 and finally 148 mph. That would have broken the Wimbledon record for the fastest serve of all time, but Frenchman Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard had a 153 mph serve earlier in the week. 'I had a lot of fun,' Shelton said. 'It's always special playing at Wimbledon. This is my third time playing on Court No 1. Hopefully I get a few more matches on one of these two big courts. I'm trying to make my way to Centre Court. Maybe I'll get there one day.' Do what he says, Morgan Stanley On a more lighthearted note, Shelton had some fun at a major investment bank's expense after his Round 3 win. "I've been playing well this week. It's not just been me here. I have a great team. My parents are here. My girlfriend's here. Also, my sister's here. She's been here for every match that I've played this tournament so far. She's been the lucky charm," Shelton said. He made a plea to get his sister, Emma, some more time off work, with hopes of keeping the good luck rolling. "If any of y'all have some (connections) and get her a couple extra days off so she can (stay). We can keep this rolling, that'd be great," he said. The brief saga had a happy ending with Shelton posting an Instagram story seemingly confirming his sister's paid time off being approved. Smart move, Morgan Stanley.

College football quarterbacks rankings: Our top 25 list is dominated by SEC, Big Ten
In elite list of college football quarterbacks, Clemson's Cade Klubnik outpaces Arch Manning and others from the SEC. So, you're tired of all the transfers in college football? Well, then, you'll like this. The nation's top quarterbacks entering the 2025 season signed with their respective program as blue-chip prospects, waited their turn, developed in the system, then seized the starting reins. The top four quarterbacks in our USA TODAY Sports rankings of the nation's top 25 quarterbacks each plays for the program with which he signed. How's that for a throwback? Oh, sure, there's some top-tier transfers, too, sprinkled into our top 10. Overall, the quarterback talent runs deep this season, whether homegrown or plucked from the portal. The Big Ten leads all conferences with seven quarterbacks ranked in our top 25, but the SEC swarmed the top end of the rankings, with five SEC quarterbacks ranked within the top eight. These rankings reflect an aggregate of the ballots of five USA TODAY sportswriters who each voted for their top 25. Here are our USA TODAY top 25 college football quarterbacks: 1. Cade Klubnik, Clemson In his second season at the controls, Klubnik's progress from his first year restored the explosiveness to the Clemson offense that had been missing since the Tigers were playing for national championships. Now with even more weapons at his disposal, he should be front and center in the Heisman discussion as the team makes another title push. 2. Drew Allar, Penn State Allar is the face of Penn State's push for its first national title in nearly 40 years. After ending his junior year with a devastating interception in the team's playoff semifinal against Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl, Allar enters his second season running offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki's scheme surrounded by a top-notch offensive line and one of the nation's top collections of skill talent, especially in the backfield. 3. Arch Manning, Texas Finally, it's Manning's chance to prove true the hype that's followed this blue-chip quarterback with one of football's most famous surnames. He's the preseason Heisman favorite. Manning looked the part of budding star with a lofty ceiling in two spot starts and backup opportunities last season. He should be ready to break out in his third season playing for Steve Sarkisian, a deft quarterback developer. Manning's arm is sharp, and his mobility and size are pluses, although he must improve his processing time. 4. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU Nussmeier is equipped with a strong arm and the belief that he can make any throw. Watch him zip a pass to the sideline, and you'll understand why he's projected as an early first-round NFL Draft pick. He's the nation's only returning quarterback who passed for more than 4,000 yards last season, and he'll be surrounded by a good group of receivers. Reducing his 12 interceptions from 2024 becomes the next stage in his development. 5. Sam Leavitt, Arizona State What a difference a year can make. Leavitt went from a relatively unknown Michigan State transfer to one of the top arms in the sport after leading Arizona State to the playoff. Cam Skattebo had all the limelight for the Sun Devils, but Leavitt's production was undeniable; he had 21 touchdowns to just four interceptions in the final nine games. He's got running capabilities, and he's shown he can deliver in big games. The offense is primed to be the best in the Big 12 with Leavitt still leading the way. 6. John Mateer, Oklahoma Oklahoma failed last season to fix its quarterback void created when Dillon Gabriel transferred to Oregon. Mateer, a Washington State transfer, addresses that need. His playing style even shares some traits to Gabriel's. He's a hard-nosed dual threat who's an efficient passer and an athletic runner. He completes passes from a variety of arm angles. Mateer now must prove himself against a higher caliber of defense than he faced out West. 7. DJ Lagway, Florida The Gators ignited after Lagway became their starter midway through his true freshman season. We probably haven't seen the best of him yet. A hamstring injury hampered his dual-threat abilities in 2024. Durability is an issue with Lagway. He's spent the offseason recovering from a throwing shoulder injury. When healthy, he's a big play in waiting. He throws an excellent deep ball, connecting on more than 52% of his throws that traveled more than 20 yards. 8. LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina Sellers showed he could do it all as a redshirt freshman. He passed for 353 yards and five touchdowns in a November win against Missouri. Two weeks later, he rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns in a takedown of Clemson. That's the epitome of a dual threat. He's accurate and efficient, and he can reach speeds of nearly 21 mph on the ground. If he reduces his turnovers – fumbles were a bugaboo – he'll be the complete package. 9. Carson Beck, Miami Replacing the top overall draft pick might seem daunting, but Beck is no stranger to lofty expectations. He arrives in Coral Gables with plenty of potential but some baggage as well, as the Georgia offense wasn't always humming. last season His final numbers from 2024 were solid enough 3,485 passing yards, a 64.7% completion rate and 28 TDs. But many of his 12 interceptions resulted from trying to force the action, a habit he'll need to break if the Hurricanes hope to be in the playoff picture. 10. Kevin Jennings, SMU The Mustangs' appearance in the ACC championship game in their first year in the conference was a surprise. Jennings had a lot to do with that, though the season concluded on a sour note in a playoff drubbing at Penn State. He finished the campaign with 3,245 yards and 23 TDs passing and another 354 yards and five scores by land. 11. Sawyer Robertson, Baylor Dave Arnada can thank Robertson for keeping his job secure after an impressive second half of the season from the Baylor quarterback. After taking over in the third game, he led the Bears to a 6-0 finish in the regular season, while totaling 1,581 passing yards with 17 touchdowns during the stretch. His 153.1 efficiency rating is the best among returning Big 12 starters. He has the potential to play on Sundays if he lives up to the offseason hype. 12. Josh Hoover, TCU TCU finally has its guy after Hoover put up a monster 2024 campaign. He set the single-season school record at 3,949 passing yards and his 66.5% completion percentage are the most among returning Big 12 quarterbacks. His pocket presence is among the top echelon of signal-callers and he's got pinpoint accuracy when he's on the run. The Horned Frogs are a dangerous team that could be an offensive power with the cannon Hoover has, with 61 completions of at least 20 yards last season. 13. Luke Altmyer, Illinois The former Mississippi transfer has found a home with the surging Illini, totaling 26 touchdowns against six picks in a breakout 2024 season. After winning 10 games last fall, Illinois is a trendy contender for an at-large playoff bid in large part to his reliability and command of the offense. Like Allar at PSU, Altmyer is a returning starter at the same program amid a Big Ten quarterback crop that's otherwise littered with youth and first-year transfers. 14. Haynes King, Georgia Tech Despite being banged up for significant stretches, King finished 2024 with 2,701 yards of offense and accounted for 25 total touchdowns. His hard-nosed running did contribute to those injuries. The question for the Yellow Jackets' staff now is whether they've assembled enough pieces to take full advantage of King's considerable skillset. If they have, an uptick in the victory total is likely. 15. Rocco Becht, Iowa State There may be no more underrated quarterback on this list than Becht. He guided Iowa State to its first 11-win season in program history in 2024 while throwing for 3,505 yards. He enters the season among the most experienced arms with 27 career starts, and it's evident in his high on-field IQ, consistently frustrating defenses with his ability to extend plays and drives. He's practically a lock to find the endzone with a touchdown pass in 18 consecutive games. 16. Nico Iamaleava, UCLA Look for Iamaleava to spend this season in the national spotlight after his dramatic exit from Tennessee. He'll have a harder time at UCLA, which has made gains under coach DeShaun Foster but won't surround the third-year sophomore with the same talent level he had with the Volunteers. Still, Iamaleava has led an SEC team to the playoff and could be the missing piece for the Bruins. 17. Dylan Raiola, Nebraska The former five-star recruit will take the next step as a sophomore thanks to last year's experience, a much improved receiver group and a full offseason learning the ropes in coordinator Dana Holgorsen's system. Raiola has all the gifts to match his immense recruiting hype and should tap into that potential beginning in September. 18. Darian Mensah, Duke Coming off a 2,723-yard season with 22 passing touchdowns at Tulane, Mensah looks to keep the Blue Devils in the ACC's upper tier. His reportedly lofty NIL price tag indicates the program's backers are serious about making Duke not just a basketball destination. Now, he'll have deliver on that investment to push the Blue Devils into title contention. 19. Dante Moore, Oregon Moore had an up-and-down freshman year at UCLA in 2023 and then spent last season learning the ropes in Oregon's offense behind Dillon Gabriel. That he has Power Four starting experience and a comfort level in this scheme are two major advantages in his corner. Look for Moore to grab this chance and run with it to become the Ducks' latest super-productive starter. 20. Fernando Mendoza, Indiana Mendoza becomes the next to grab the reins for the Hoosiers after last year's starter, Kurtis Rourke, helped Indiana make a shocking playoff berth. The Cal transfer threw for over 3,000 yards with 16 scores in 2024 and brings along two years of starting experience into coach Curt Cignetti's explosive offense. 21. Blake Horvath, Navy In his first season as a starter, Horvath led the Midshipmen to 10 wins, including a defeat of Oklahoma in the Armed Forces Bowl. He does most of his damage on the ground, like most Navy quarterbacks. And while Horvath accumulated 1,353 yards and 13 touchdowns rushing, he also provided a solid throwing threat with 13 passing scores. Expect even better production in 2025 as Navy hopes to contend again in the American Athletic. 22. Avery Johnson, Kansas State Kansas State put all of its chips into Johnson being the guy after Will Howard, and it now is reaping the benefits of having a quarterback with a tremendous ceiling. He had several shining moments in 2024, particularly in his ability to generate fourth-quarter comebacks. It was evident his confidence rose as the season went on, trusting his arm and letting it work hand-in-hand with his fantastic running ability. With a full year of starting experience under his belt, Johnson will be a much more mature player that will keep Kansas State contenders. 23. Miller Moss, Louisville It wasn't all bad for Moss at Southern California as he threw for 2,555 yards and 18 scores, but a three-interception outing in a Nov. 2 loss at Washington led to his demotion an eventual transfer. He should be a good fit at Louisville given Jeff Brohm's success mentoring QBs, and he'll have a lot of projected all-league talent around him in the Cardinals offense. 24. Julian Sayin, Ohio State Sayin grabs the keys to the kingdom as the Buckeyes' expected starter. After making 12 attempts in a reserve role for the defending national champs, Sayin should be one of the Big Ten's most efficient passers while playing alongside Jeremiah Smith and other elite receivers. Unlike Moore at Oregon, though, Sayin has limited playing experience and could take a little time to steady himself. Learning how to run the system from Will Howard last year will help ease his transition. 25. Behren Morton, Texas Tech Stop if you've heard this before: there's a gunslinger that could be dazzling at Texas Tech. Morton enters his final season in Lubbock ready to thrive in the pass-heavy offense the Red Raiders are known for. What's special is for how much he throws it, he takes care of the ball with only eight interceptions on 466 passing attempts last season. He's got all the makings of leading the nation in passing yards.
