'To start off the winning pedigree,' Premer said. 'I'm a big time competitor, so I want to go to a school that's gonna be successful and win.
'Then I can continue to help them win. Along with that is tight end utilization. Are they in 12 personnel a lot or are they throwing the tight end the ball? Then are they developing players for the NFL? The last thing I would say is just the feel and the culture of the place and if I could kind of see myself in that.'

Premer is a versatile tight end that should be an immediate downfield threat for the Irish. His exploits on the basketball court also earned his All-State honors there too. Premer is explosive on the basketball court and the athleticism translates to the football field.
He joins a Notre Dame class that now ranks in the top five in the country. Premer is the second tight end in the class joining fast-riser Preston Fryzel who recently committed.

After Felix move, Al Nassr target another Portuguese star to reunite with Ronaldo and coach Jesus Ronaldo Eyes Bruno Fernandes in Massive Al Nassr Transfer Push Cristiano Ronaldo's reportedly pushing for blockbuster reunion with Bruno Fernandes at Al Nassr as part of bold plan to assemble Portuguese core at the Saudi club this summer. Ronaldo's Influence Grows According to Portuguese outlet A Bola, the Al Nassr captain played major role in Joao Felix's recent move to the Riyadh based club and is now aiming to bring in Fernandes as the next big signing. The club's also managed by fellow Portuguese Jorge Jesus making the potential transfer even more appealing. Money Not Obstacle While Bruno's current market value is 50 million euro (Transfermarkt), the report claims Al Nassr's management won't let financial concerns hinder the pursuit. Despite turning down lucrative offer from Al Hilal in the past, the presence of Ronaldo & Jesus could be decisive in swaying Fernandes this time. Talks Underway A Bola revealed that initial contact was made on Thursday between Al Nassr & Fernandes camp to gauge interest and open the door to possible negotiation with Man United. Portuguese Power Project The move's part of Al Nassr's wider strategy to build Portuguese spine with Felix already secured and Bruno next in line. However luring the Man United captain won't be easy especially with new manager Ruben Amorim keen on keeping him central to the team's rebuild. Old Connection Could Help Fernandes previously played under Jorge Jesus at Sporting CP in the 2017 /18 season, a link that may prove crucial in reviving talks and convincing the playmaker to take on new challenge in the Saudi Pro League.

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred downplays reported Bryce Harper confrontation: 'We shook hands'
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred would like everyone to stop making a big deal about his reported confrontation with Bryce Harper. Speaking with reporters on Friday after announcing Wrigley Field will host the 2027 MLB All-Star Game, Manfred downplayed a meeting in which the Philadelphia Phillies star reportedly told him he could "get the f*** out of our clubhouse" in response to a mention of the game's economics. When asked about the exchange, Manfred said the reaction was overblown: "I don't talk about those player meetings — let me say this. I think more has been made out of this than needs to be made out of it. Bryce expressed his views, at the end of the meeting, we shook hands and went our separate ways. Just not all that significant. "It was an individual picking a particular way to express himself and I don't think you need to make more out of it than that. Harper was similarly hesitant to discuss the incident after it was reported, but did confirm it took place and added 'I've always been very vocal [in labor discussions], just not in a way that people can see.' The incident occurred amid mounting tension over upcoming collective bargaining agreement, which expires after the 2026 season. It is expected the league will insist on the introduction of a salary cap, which the MLB Players Association has always treated as a non-starter. If both sides hold their ground, the result would likely be a work stoppage that could affect the 2027 season. Manfred reportedly mentioned the word "lockout" in the meeting with the Phillies, and it's never a good sign when the commissioner is planting that seed more than a year in advance. Asked about a contingency plan for a work stoppage on Friday, Manfred again downplayed the possibility: "My contingency plan is to make an agreement with the players and play the '27 season." Few other stakeholders are as optimistic. In March, MLBPA executive director Tony Clark said the union believes a lockout is coming. This week, Phillies star Nick Castellanos used an interesting analogy for Manfred's mention of a lockout, via ESPN: "That's nothing to throw around. That's the same thing as me saying in a marriage, 'I think divorce is a possibility. It's probably going to happen.' You don't just say those things." It's been a contentious decade already for the league and union, which got in protracted disputes in both 2020 and the 2021-22 offseason. The latter resulted in both a delayed start to the 2022 season (but no lost games) and the current deal set to expire after 2026.
