3-star DL Viliami Moala announces decommitment from Oregon Ducks
Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks got some unfortunate news on the recruiting trail on Monday afternoon, with 3-star defensive lineman Viliami Moala announcing his decommitment from the 2026 class. Moala had been committed since October of 2024, but he announced this week that he wanted to open up his recruitment once again. Moala is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 451 player in the 2026 class, and the No. 51 DL, standing at 6-foot-3, 340 pounds. The announcement comes as a bit of a surprise, seeing as Moala was enrolled at Willamette High School in Eugene, teammates with fellow Oregon commit Tony Cumberland, a 4-star DL. Moala announced that he would be transferring to Thompson High School in Alabaster, Alabama. With the decommitment, Oregon now has 13 members of the 2026 class, which now ranks No. 14 in the nation. That should improve in the near future, though, with 4-star WR Jalen Lott expected to announce his commitment on Tuesday, and potentially more big names to come in the near future. ongoing coverage of Oregon Ducks news, notes, and opinions.

2027 4-Star QB Trent Seaborn Turns Down seven-Figure NIL Deal, Focused on One Team
The national spotlight has already found Trent Seaborn—and he's just now wrapping up his sophomore year of high school. The 2027 four-star quarterback from Thompson High School (Alabaster, Alabama) has emerged as one of the most buzzed-about recruits in the country. He's been fielding attention from powerhouse programs coast to coast, and while offers from the Class of 2027 are just beginning to trickle out, Seaborn is a clear frontrunner to receive one of Clemson's first official quarterback invites when that window opens in June. Advertisement He'll be back in Tiger Town June 7-8 to work out at Dabo Swinney's high school camp, his second trip to campus since March. Clemson hasn't yet extended an offer, but the mutual interest is clear—and growing. Already a two-time state champion, Seaborn's career has unfolded like a scripted drama. He started on varsity as an eighth grader and immediately delivered Thompson a state title. As a freshman, he completed 72% of his passes for 2,601 yards and 27 touchdowns, earning MaxPreps National Freshman of the Year honors. Then he bounced back from a runner-up finish to capture his second ring last season.

Last year, he turned down a reported seven-figure NIL deal from Leaf Trading Cards that would've required him to transfer out of Alabama—a state where high school NIL deals remain off-limits. The decision to stay at Thompson was a headline-making moment, and it sent a clear message: Seaborn's long game matters more than any short-term paycheck. Advertisement Now, with nearly 30 college programs already showing interest and more offers expected in the coming months, Seaborn is on track to become one of the defining names of the 2027 recruiting cycle. His return to Clemson—where he once shared a roster with former Warrior and current Tiger Peter Woods—only adds intrigue. With the Tigers seeking a long-term answer at quarterback in the post Klubnik era, eyes will be on how Seaborn performs under the watch of Swinney and offensive coordinator Garrett Riley in June. And whether Clemson makes a move—or someone else does—it's clear Trent Seaborn's recruitment is about to go full throttle.

Safe driving advocate bringing awareness to distracted driving
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT)– April is distracted driving awareness month. In 2023, 60 fatalities were caused by distracted driving in Alabama, reports Drive Safe Alabama. In February 2018, Michelle Lunsford's only daughter, Camryn, was killed after her car collided with an 18-wheeler on her way home from work. Camryn was 26 days away from being 18 and three months from graduating from Thompson High School in Alabaster. The cause of the crash was distracted driving. Initially, the police reported to Lunsford that her daughter was texting while driving. However, when Lunsford recovered Camryn's phone, she realized this was not true. 'I was able to see, through her email, that she wasn't texting,' said Lunsford. 'she was actually recording a happy birthday message to her friend.' Since that day, Lunsford has been advocating for increased legislation for distracted driving. She was one of the leaders pushing for the Hands Free Law, enacted in 2023. Alabama joined 30 other states in banning the use of phones while driving. Lunsford's message to everyone getting out on the road is simple: it can wait. 'The consequences of something happening could be a nightmare,' said Lunsford. 'to lose anyone that you love behind the wheel because of a phone or any distraction…it can wait.'
