Michigan State is one of a few Big Ten schools with top 25 QB commitment in 2026 class
All of the Rivals' top 25 quarterback prospects in the 2026 class are now committed, and Michigan State is fortunate enough to have one of the commits in Kayd Coffman. He ranks as the No. 23 quarterback in the Rivals Industry Rankings for the 2026 class, which is fifth among Big Ten commitments in the position.
Coffman has been committed to Michigan State since early February and ranks as one of the top commitments in the Spartans' 2026 class. On rivals, he is listed as a four-star prospect and ranked as the No. 6 player from Michigan and No. 237 overall prospect in the class.
Coffman has long been considered a centerpiece of the Spartans' 2026 class so it's no surprise to see him among the top 25 quarterbacks in the class. Should Michigan State hold onto his commitment throughout this fall and sign him in December, he will surely be a big part of the Spartans' future on the gridiron.
Check out the complete rankings of top 25 quarterback prospects from Rivals in the post below:

Angels first baseman Schanuel leaves game vs. Phillies after being hit by pitch on left arm
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel was removed from Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies after being hit by a pitch. Schanuel appeared to take a changeup from Phillies starter Ranger Suarez off the upper wrist or forearm area of his left arm in the first inning. He hurried down the first base line in obvious pain. After being checked by a trainer, Schanuel remained in the game. Schanuel did not play the field in the bottom of the inning. LaMonte Wade Jr. replaced him at first base, batting second. Schanuel is hitting .274 with eight home runs and 40 RBIs through 95 games in this, his third season. There was no immediate word on the details of Schanuel's injury. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press

WNBA All-Star Weekend: The 8 Best, Most Hilarious Moments You May Not Have Seen on TV
All products featured on Glamour are independently selected by Glamour editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate All-Star Weekend 2025 was so unserious—and fans never wanted it to end. For three days, the WNBA's top players gathered in Indiana to represent the league and have a good time, with festivities leading up to a face-off between two All-Star teams led by Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier. But this wasn't like any other All-Star Weekend in sports. For the first time, fans were given an inside look at the players' perspective thanks to Courtney Williams and Natisha Heidman, a.k.a. the Stud Budz, who regularly post livestreams on their joint Twitch account. The pair decided to stream the entire weekend for 72-hours straight, bringing fans directly into practices and parties (and more parties), resulting in rare candid moments with stars like Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and Dijonai Carrington. "We are so surprised, honestly, we did not know how much love we'd be getting," Williams told USA Today of the streams' popularity during All-Star Weekend. 'I think people just love getting that behind the scenes, being so authentic, seeing players mess with us.' If the goal of All-Star Weekend is to highlight the product of the WNBA, Williams and Heidman did that in spades, illustrating that the success and relevancy of this league does not rest on the shoulders of any one player or team—an important message as WNBA players fight for higher salaries amid CBA negotiations. Of course, not all of the weekend's viral moments came from the Stud Budz livestream, though plenty of them did. For the sake of keeping things PG and respecting players' privacy as much as possible, we're going to highlight just some of the funniest, sweetest, and most exciting moments you may not have seen on TV. Don't worry you can find plenty more Stud Budz clips online when you're done here. Coach Cheryl Reeve's 'A.I.' Moment Many fans were surprised to see famously strict Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve getting down with the StudBudz at an All-Star Weekend party—including Reeve, who denied all evidence the next day, blaming the viral videos on artificial intelligence. 'You can't believe everything that's on the Internet,' Reeve joked on the Stud Budz stream the very next day. And AI, there was some sh*t on me last night, that was AI. That was AI…I was in bed." Caitlin Clark Linking Up With Ellie the Elephant Caitlin Clark sat next to New York Liberty mascot and icon Ellie the Elephant during the skills challenges on January 18. It seems she even tried to go through Ellie's bag, though her attempts were thwarted. Paige Bueckers Hard-Launching Her Relationship With Azzi Fudd Though UConn star Azzi Fudd has been rocking a 'Paige Buecker's girlfriend' phone case lately, fans were overwhelmed to hear Bueckers confirm the long-running relationship rumors by participating in Wag Talk, an interview series that highlights athletes' partners. In this case, the Dallas Wings star rookie was asked questions about her 'D1 girlfriend' before revealing Fudd's name at the end of the clip. On TikTok alone, the video has 9.8 million views and 1.2 million likes. Fudd was in Indiana for All-Star Weekend and even threw her own party attended by the Stud Budz—and Heidman was particularly excited to hang out with the weekend's 'power couple.' Natasha Cloud and Izzy Harrison's Rom-Com Moment The way Natasha Cloud ran to scoop up teammate and girlfriend Izzy Harrison after winning the Kia WNBA Skills Challenge needs to be put in a rom-com. In a post-win interview, Cloud told ESPN she plans to use the prize money (roughly $55,000) to put a downpayment on their house. 'This is for our family,' Cloud told ESPN's Holly Rowe. 'This momma over here told me I better win today for a downpayment on a house, so baby, you're gonna get that house.' Sabrina Ionescu's Sportsmanship After the skills challenge, Sabrina Ionescu took home the 3-point contest trophy, promising to share her winnings with rookie Sonia Citron, the only first-year competing in the evening's skills challenges. 'I told Sonia that I would give her half if I won when we were sitting on the bench," Ionescu told reporters during a press conference, per one video shared by Bleacher Report. 'As being, like, the only rookie…She was nervous, and I was nervous for her. I obviously have to hold up my end of the bargain, so half is gonna go to her." She continued, "Just for participating, like, that takes a a lot of courage to be able to do that as a rookie…and I was really proud of her.

WNBA WNBA Star Sabrina Ionescu Promises to Split 3-Point Contest Prize Money With Rookie Sonia Citron Sportsmanship at its finest. Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers' Friendship One of the best friendships to come out of All-Star weekend was between Team Collier teammates Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese. In one video from team practice, Bueckers made Reese laugh by calling for 'mebounds,' a phrase that was initially used to cyberbully the league's rebound leader until she trademarked and reclaimed it as her own. Reese later shared a video of herself and Bueckers recording a TikTok dance, to the delight of fans. 'This is so important to me,' one user commented, receiving over 19,000 likes. 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' As previously mentioned, the WNBA players are currently in the middle of collective bargaining agreement negotiations for higher salaries and a share in the league's revenue. In a show of unity, all of the All-Stars wore 'Pay Us What You Owe Us' t-shirts during warmups for the big game on July 19. "We see the growth of the league, and as it stands, the current salary system is not really paying us what we're owed," WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike said of the slogan, per ESPN. 'And we want to be able to have that fair share moving forward, especially as we see all of the investment going in, and we want to be able to have our salaries reflected in a structure that makes sense for us.' Following the game, the crowd was heard chanting 'pay them more' as commissioner Cathy Engelbert presented Napheesa Collier the 2025 All-Star Game MVP trophy after her win against Team Clark. 'That gave me chills,' Collier later said of the moment in a press conference. Breanna Stewart's 10/10 Assist Look, the All-Star Game itself was not much of a competition, with neither team opting to play any real defense. Still, fans probably didn't expect to see Breanna Stewart of Team Collier purposefully give Team Clark rookie Kiki Iriafen a second chance at a four-point shot. 'This made me giggle, it was so wholesome,' one fan commented on a TikTok video about the exchange, while another wrote, 'I giggled and kicked my feet when I saw that. Stewie w the assist!' Whatever Happened Between the Stud Budz and Diplo It seemed Courtney Williams was not vibing with the music Diplo was originally playing at Sports Illustrated's All-Star After Party on July 19. During the final hours of the Stud Budz stream, Williams was seen asking the famous DJ to change the music—and he obliged. Fans are not convinced Williams knew who Diplo was, which makes the whole thing even funnier. Either way, Diplo seemed to love the StudBudz as much as the rest of us, sharing a video with Williams on his own Instagram story. After all, he's no stranger to live-streams… Can't wait to do it all again next year. In the meantime, someone get the Stud Budz a talk show.

Boxing took more from Manny Pacquiao than WBC title win — it robbed him of his last real shot
LAS VEGAS — Boxing's judges broke hearts again on Saturday. I had long prepared to write another of boxing's sad stories. One of an older warrior learning early that time had defeated him. That he didn't have it in him to hang with a younger champion. I feared he'd get hurt. I feared he'd fall. But, on Saturday night, Manny Pacquiao soared. At age 46, he rolled back the clock as he took the fight to Mario Barrios with urgency, precision and Filipino pride. It was a performance for the ages. It belongs in the pantheon of extraordinary feats born from the Fight Capital of the World. Like Terence Crawford's all-time thrashing of Errol Spence, and like Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder's epic three-fight rivalry before him. It is tough to fight well for 36 minutes. Tougher, still, to do so at an elite level against a champion. Yet Pacquiao managed that despite being in his late 40s, after four years away from the ring. This was a generational achievement akin to Bernard Hopkins and Archie Moore. This was a defiance of Father Time, and of an underdog who refuses to get old. This was a boxing legend's "Rocky" movie coming to life before our eyes. The 13,107 people who attended the iconic fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena felt the same. Las Vegas pulsed with "PacMan" fever all week. From the open workouts to the public weigh-ins, fans flocked to see their idol in the flesh. They came hoping to witness the improbable — and they did. Pacquiao bested Barrios by a 116-113 score, per Uncrowned's live scorecard on the night. He deserved the win, and the world title. He deserved to extend his own record as the oldest welterweight champion who ever lived. But boxing doesn't always reward what's deserved. Sport is not built on sentiment. Results can be cruel. And all those fans found that out the hard way. The three judges scored the Premier Boxing Champions main event as a majority draw. Nobody left happy. In the fight itself, Pacquiao's body looked strong at the weight. Yet his sharp, cut physique was a stark contrast to the wrinkles on his face. Like Mike Tyson against Jake Paul last year, Pacquiao started fast. Unlike "Iron Mike," though, this returning king didn't fade after the first round. He kept his rhythm going. In his signature southpaw stance, he danced in and out, and smiled as he landed punches in bunches. He stood firm in the center of the ring, unafraid to engage. Barrios showed flashes with his jab. But he didn't throw it early enough or often enough to seize control of the bout like the Hall of Famer had. He showed too much respect to a legend, and should have tried to bully him from the off. Pacquiao flurried and it didn't seem to matter if the first punch missed, as his follow-ups found Barrios's chin. He forced swelling on the champion's face, which were wounds Pacquiao himself seemed to avoid. Barrios's punches were slower compared to the speed Pacquiao exhibited, even deeper into the fight. Barrios finally took heed of the calls from his trainer, Bob Santos, to spring into action in the 10th round. He had surrendered many of the prior rounds to Pacquiao. Though it was a strong rally, it was too little, too late to warrant even a draw — at least in a just world. But that's exactly what the judges awarded to the WBC champion. It denied Pacquiao the 63rd win of his illustrious career — a career that began 30 years ago when Pacquiao was a scrawny teenager in the Philippines selling donuts on the streets. This was a Pacquiao event like the old days. He brought a fervent crowd with him who applauded every punch, and cheered their man to a win. But that made the result even more unbearable. It only deepened a disconnect between what the people saw and what judges do. Tim Cheatam and Steve Weisfeld scored a 114-114 draw. Max DeLuca somehow found seven rounds to Barrios for a 115-113 nod to the champ. These scorecards robbed Pacquiao of a legendary win befitting a legendary career. They also stole something more precious — time. Pacquiao is not going to get that time — or this kind of shot — back. It was already a tough enough task to dethrone an active champion who is 16 years his junior. Now to have to do it again? Yet he's emboldened all the same. "I thought I won the fight," Pacquiao said. "His stamina is crazy,' Barrios acknowledged. 'He's still strong as hell and his timing is real. He's still a very awkward fighter to try to figure out.' Both fighters vowed to push forward for a rematch. "Of course I'd like a rematch," Pacquiao said. It's a fight Barrios said he'd welcome. "This was huge for boxing," the champ said. "I'd love to do it again." The age gap remains the same for a second fight, but by the time organizers book a rematch, Pacquiao could be 47. Barrios, additionally, may not be as encumbered by the big stage as he was on Saturday night. He may start the fight with the same push in those final three rounds, when he rallied, no longer hypnotized by a living legend. A rematch could be even harder work for Pacquiao. Regardless, boxing may have taken Pacquiao's win, but it couldn't take the moment. That'll always be Manny's.
