Nebraska Heisman winner believes in Dylan Raiola
A former Nebraska Heisman winner believes Dylan Raiola can return the Huskers to national prominence. Eric Crouch made the comments about the sophomore quarterback to Hurrdat Sports.
Dylan is a competitor. He's got a tremendous arm. He's super smart. He's talented and strong. He's going to do great things and I know that the challenge has always been for him, is trying to surround him with playmakers. The program is being built back up and that's what he enjoys. I know that Dylan is in the right place. He had a lot of choices in where to go to college... but I think his heart is in Nebraska and he wanted to be able to be the guy that could bring this program back to dominance again and I think he's the one that can do that.
Crouch played at Nebraska from 1997 to 2001. In 43 games, he ran for 3,434 yards and 59 touchdowns while throwing for 4,481 yards and 29 touchdowns with 25 interceptions.
He also won the 2001 Heisman Trophy over Florida's Rex Grossman, Miami's Ken Dorsey, and Oregon's Joey Harrington. That season, he ran for 1115 yards and 18 touchdowns while throwing for 1,510 yards, seven touchdowns, and ten interceptions.
Last season, Raiola played in all 13 games for the Cornhuskers. He threw for 2,819 yards, 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Nebraska will open the 2025 college football season on Thursday, August 28, when the Huskers face the Cincinnati Bearcats at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri. The kickoff time has yet to be determined.

Ravens' John Harbaugh on White House visit with Trump: 'I root for our president'
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh described his recent visit with President Donald Trump as simply another great opportunity to meet a chief executive. Harbaugh and several family members — including his brother, Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh — were invited to the White House earlier this month. John Harbaugh talked about the trip after practice Wednesday. In 2019, while lashing out at U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, Trump tweeted that the Democrat's Baltimore district was a 'disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess' where 'no human being would want to live.' Harbaugh was asked about the decision to visit the White House in light of some of Trump's comments about the Ravens' home city. 'How you framed that question — I would have framed that question like: 'You got a chance to go visit with the president, man. What was that experience like?'' Harbaugh said. 'It was amazing. It was awesome. And I promise you I root for our president. I want our president to be successful just like I want my quarterback to be successful and I want my team to be successful, and it was an amazing experience.' John Harbaugh conceded that Jim Harbaugh has met more presidents than him. 'He's got seven, I got four. I had a chance to meet President Obama twice — incredible experience. Had a chance to meet President Biden when he was vice president in Iraq, and spent a lot of time with him in Iraq," he said. "Jim got invited also to the White House to meet President Reagan because he was a Heisman Trophy candidate. We got to go as a family, so I met President Reagan — have a picture in my office of that.'

Jaguars' Travis Hunter shares offseason training video with Trevor Lawrence, Brian Thomas
Training camp is underway for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but before that first practice, Travis Hunter, along with Trevor Lawrence, Brian Thomas Jr., and others, got together to work out. On his YouTube channel, Hunter uploaded the video for everyone to see. As was the plan during offseason programs, Hunter spent most of his time at wide receiver--although he's been learning the defensive playbook and terminology since arriving in Jacksonville. Now with training camp here, Liam Coen detailed after the first practice what the next steps in Hunter's development plan entail. Ultimately, it's about ramping up so that he routinely practices on both sides of the ball during the same practice. "He will," Coen said about Hunter playing both ways. "Probably within the first six practices or so. You want to give him a couple days offense, a couple days defense, then give him the opportunity to flip-flop within the same practice. Then that will become the norm. Once we do that, that will become the norm in how we operate, but it'll probably be within the first week or so." In the first training camp practice, Hunter spent his time with the offense, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco, during the 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 periods.
