Will Madelyn Cline root on Coastal Carolina in the College World Series?
In the 2025 College World Series final, we know this much: Livvy Dunne and Paul Skenes will be rooting on their alma mater, LSU. But who could be backing the Tigers' opponent, Coastal Carolina?
For that answer, we might have to look at the other Carolina, specifically North Carolina's Outer Banks. That's because Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline (who plays Sarah Cameron) might be a fan of the Chanticleers.
Per an interview with Arts Intel in 2023, Cline was home-schooled in Goose Creek, South Carolina before she attended Costal Carolina for just her freshman year in 2017. She dropped out and drove to L.A. I haven't unearthed any posts on social media or discussions in articles about whether she roots for the university's sports teams or not, sadly.
So maybe we'll see her fandom come out as the Chanticleers -- that's a type of rooster, in case you're wondering -- fight to win their first men's College World Series title since 2016.

Texas QB Arch Manning, LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier becoming good friends this offseason
In December, Texas quarterback Arch Manning and LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier could be sitting next to each other in New York City waiting to see which name will be called as the winner of the Heisman Trophy. Turns out, they'll already be good friends if that happens. The two Louisiana natives are both from football families. Manning's two uncles and grandfather all played in the NFL. Nussmeier is the son of a longtime college and NFL coach. While they might be rivals in the SEC and for national awards, they two were paired up as roommates at the Manning Passing Academy this year. According to Manning, the two have become close. They even did some marketing for Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers together. 'I love Garrett, he's the man,' Manning said of Nussmeier, per On3. 'He's a coach's kid, so he knows ball. We went to Walmart last night and got food. So he's the man. I'm glad — I'm gonna build a good relationship with him.' According to the LSU signal calling, the feeling is mutual. 'It means a lot to me,' Nussmeier said of Manning's comments, per On3. 'I love Arch. He's a really good player. Want nothing but the best for him. He may say that he looks up to me, but there are definitely parts of me that looks up to him, too. His ability, his swagger, his mindset. It's something that is really fun to watch. He's a really, really good player. … Definitely rooting for him, and I'm very appreciative of him.' Manning and Nussmeier currently hold the first and second best odds to win the Heisman this season and will get compared to each other all season. While they won't meet during the regular season, Texas and LSU could matchup in the SEC championship or College Football Playoff. Follow us on X (formerly Twitter) at @LonghornsWire.

Two LSU football players make Athlon Sports' preseason All-SEC team
Two LSU football players are projected to earn First-Team All-SEC honors, according to Athlon Sports' 2025 College Football Preview, released earlier this summer. Linebacker Whit Weeks made the cut, as did Barion Brown in the kick returner role. LSU didn't place all-conference players on offense, with Texas QB Arch Manning getting the nod over Garrett Nussmeier. Weeks left LSU's Texas Bowl win vs. Baylor with an ankle injury, but that was after the linebacker enjoyed a breakout season as a sophomore. Weeks ranked second among SEC linebackers in stops and pressures. He was a havoc creator, sacking the quarterback four times, forcing two fumbles, and batting down two passes. After surgery, Weeks missed LSU's spring practice but is expected to return as LSU kicks off fall camp later this Summer. As for Brown, he transfers to LSU already with five kicks returned for a touchdown. Brown is expected to be a dynamic weapon on LSU's offense, but Tiger fans should expect Brown to be a difference-maker on special teams, too.

Former LSU basketball star Naz Reid signs massive extension with Minnesota Timberwolves
A former LSU basketball star cashed in last week. According to ESPN, Timberwolves power forward and center Naz Reid is signing a five-year, $125 million extension. The deal won't officially be signed until July 6, but the sides have an agreement. The contract includes a player option for the 2029-30 season. Reid was one and done at LSU but was a member of the Tigers' Sweet 16 squad under head coach Will Wade in 2019. Reid just finished his sixth year in the NBA. In 406 career games, Reid averages 11.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. In 2024, Reid was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year. In 2024-25, Reid averaged a career-high 14.2 points and six rebounds per game. Reid provides much of his scoring value from behind the three-point line. He's averaged 2.1 three-point field goals per game since 2023. It's tough to defend a scorer with Reid's size who can shoot it from deep and threaten in the paint.
