Turpin's TCU career ended in 2018 when he was kicked off the team after the school found out about a second domestic violence case against him. The case from New Mexico was discovered following an alleged incident with his girlfriend at an off-campus apartment in Fort Worth. Both cases involved the same woman.

The Cowboys signed Turpin out of the USFL in 2022. He had played in several satellite football leagues before joining the USFL.

Turpin secured his spot on the team by returning a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in a 2022 preseason game. He was one of the best return men in the NFL his first two years, but didn't have any returns for TDs until his All-Pro season in 2024. Turpin returned a punt and a kickoff for scores last season.
Turpin's role as a receiver has grown, and first-year coach Brian Schottenheimer, who will call the plays on offence, has indicated the speedy and diminutive player will be targeted more often in his scheme.

Blue Jays draft U.S. high school shortstop JoJo Parker 8th overall
The Toronto Blue Jays selected shortstop JoJo Parker eighth overall in the first round of Major League Baseball's draft on Sunday. The six-foot-two Parker, 18, attended Purvis High School in Mississippi. He became the highest-ever pick out of Purvis. He batted .489 with 13 home runs and 35 runs batted in this past season. The 200-pound athlete also stole 30 bases to lead the Tornadoes (29-8) to the Class 4A state championship game. Parker, also a right-handed pitcher on the high school level, boasted an 8-2 record with a 2.77 earned-run average and 89 strikeouts in 55.2 innings. He is currently signed to play college baseball with Mississippi State University next season. In the third round, the Jays selected Jake Cook of Madison, Miss., with the 81st pick. The 22-year-old left-hander was recruited as a two-way player by Southern Mississippi. He focused on pitching and reached 96 miles per hour with his fastball, but his inability to throw strikes led to him redshirting in 2023 and working just two innings last year. Converted to a centre-fielder this spring, he batted .350 with a seven per cent strikeout rate and displayed some of the best speed and outfield range in college baseball. He can get from home to first in less than 3.8 seconds and turned in the best 30-yard dash (3.51 seconds) of all players who participated in athletic testing at the draft combine. On Tuesday, Toronto chose right-handed pitcher Micah Bucknam with its fourth-round pick. The Blue Jays also selected him in the 16th round in 2021 before he chose college ball. Bucknam was born in New Zealand but was raised in Canada. Charles Davalan, an outfielder from St-Bruno-de-Montarville, Que., became the first Canadian-born player selected when the Los Angeles Dodgers took him 41st overall in the Competitive Balance Round A. Canadian hurler a surprise pick at 70th The University of Arkansas standout made a name for himself in the SEC, combining speed, defence, and offensive production to become a top-end draft prospect. Right-handed pitcher Will Hynes of Mississauga, Ont., was selected by the Cleveland Guardians with the 70th overall pick. Hynes is a prep righty who is listed at six-foot-two, 180 pounds. He wasn't expected to be drafted this high, but Hynes has been up to 95 mph with his fastball and is advanced at spinning the ball. Hynes, a member of the Junior National Team, is known for his poise and projectability on the mound. He participated in the spring training Dominican Summer League and MLB Draft League camps. He is committed to attending Wake Forest. Three additional players with Canadian ties were also selected on the first day of the draft. Tyler Bremner of San Diego, Calif., a Canadian citizen through his parents, went second overall to the Los Angeles Angels after a dominant season at UC Santa Barbara. Slater de Brun of Summit, Ore., also a Canadian citizen, was selected 37th overall by the Baltimore Orioles out of Summit High School. Cam Leiter of Bayville, N.J., who spent a decade living in B.C. and played for the Langley Blaze, was taken 65th overall by the Los Angeles Dodgers after pitching at Florida State University in 2024.

The Riverside County Sheriff's Office announced that its investigation found no criminal activity and ruled Sperbeck's death an accident. 'It's over,' Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco told 9NEWS on Friday. 'We've talked to everyone involved and we found nothing new. There was nothing criminal, it was what we've been saying all along — that this was a tragic accident.' In May, the Riverside sheriff's coroner had ruled that Sperbeck's death was the result of 'blunt head trauma,' and classified the manner of death as an 'accident.'
