Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: LT Overton
As we look ahead to the 2025 college football season, there are few players on the Alabama Crimson Tide defense who have a greater amount of hype surrounding their potential this fall than LT Overton. Entering year two in Tuscaloosa, Overton bypassed the NFL draft this past spring in order to return to Alabama for the 2025 season, setting the stage for what many across the college football world believe could be a career-year for the former top recruit. With this, Overton likely enters the season as a potential first round pick in the 2026 NFL draft, and could possibly cement that status with a strong campaign this fall. Here is a look at everything you need to know about Alabama's LT Overton entering the 2025 season.

One of Alabama's returning leaders on defense, Overton enters the 2025 season cemented as the Crimson Tide's starter at "Bandit," which you could argue is certainly a loaded position group.

Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 20 - Doug Overton (1999)
The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the "New Jersey Americans". Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today. To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 21st of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 20, which has has had a total of 28 players wear the number in the history of the team. The 18th of those players wearing No. 20 played in the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, guard alum Doug Overton. After ending his college career at La Salle, Overton was picked up with the 40th overall selection of the 1991 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native would play the first three seasons of his pro career with the (then) Washington Bullets (now, Wizards) after being cut by Detroit. He would also have stints with the Denver Nuggets, Philadelphia 76ers, and Orlando Magic before signing with New Jersey in 1999. His stay with the team would span just eight games before he'd sign with the Philadelphia 76ers to end his first stint with the team, separated by stints with the Boston Celtics and Charlotte Hornets. The second stint was his penultimate in the league, ending when he signed with the Los Angeles Clippers in 2003. During his time suiting up for the Nets, Overton wore only jersey Nos. 20 and 3 and put up 6.0 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game. All stats and data courtesy of Basketball Reference.

Flint replaces most lead pipes, 10 years after the Michigan water crisis
Flint has replaced most of its lead water pipes, more than ten years after contaminated water was found in the Michigan city's water system, prompting national outrage. State officials submitted a progress report in court on Tuesday showing that they replaced 11,000 lead pipes in the city and restored more than 28,000 affected properties. "Thanks to the persistence of the people of Flint and our partners, we are finally at the end of the lead pipe replacement project," said Pastor Allen C. Overton of the Concerned Pastors for Social Action, one of the lawsuit's plaintiffs in a 2017 lawsuit against officials over the scandal. "While this milestone is not all the justice our community deserves, it is a huge achievement." The Michigan Attorney General's Office did not immediately return a request for comment. In 2013, officials stopped buying water from Detroit and created a pipeline to Lake Huron as a cost-cutting measure. Until the pipeline's completion, the city's primary water source came from the Flint River in 2014. Quickly, residents reported a murky, foamy quality of the water coming from their pipes. After testing positive for high levels of trihalomethanes — a disinfectant byproduct — E. coli bacteria, and lead, city officials lamented that the water was still safe for consumption. It wasn't until October 2015 that the majority-Black city switched back to Detroit water. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the water crisis exposed nearly 100,000 residents of Flint to lead due to the crisis. Criminal charges were brought for several deaths related to the contamination, but were later dismissed. The 2017 lawsuit was settled in 2021 for $626 million, which included an agreement to replace the lead pipes free of charge. "We would not have reached this day without the work of so many Flint residents who worked to hold our leaders accountable," Overton said. "I have never been prouder to be a member of the Flint community." The report says that roughly 4,000 homes still have lead pipes. Those homes were likely either vacant or homes that belonged to Flint residents who opted out of having the pipes replaced, according to a spokesperson for the advocacy group that led the lawsuit, the Natural Resources Defense Council.
