@RedRaiderSports @ChrisLevel @BenjaminGolan @JarrettDRamirez @ShelbyCHilliard @TTUHoopsFans @RRSLJordan @LaneSelph @turnbow_mason Just read the entire article. Given the situation with another QB coming in through Castellanos, the commentary by Hammond shows his immense maturity and perspective. This is what Tech will benefit from the most with Hammond.

Nobody touched him.
​
Second quarter, second career start, and he tucked the ball and ran. He planted. The knee went. Torn ACL, right leg, no contact involved.
​
His team won 42-0, their first shutout of a conference opponent in twenty years. He watched most of it from the sideline.
​
He was born in Austin, one of four kids. His father grew up in Salt Lake City and earned Eagle Scout, and that sash hung in the house all through his childhood. He earned his own.
​
The summer before seventh grade he started running drops and throws in the yard with his older brother, another quarterback.
​
Four varsity seasons outside Austin: more than 8,700 passing yards, 121 total touchdowns. As a senior he led the entire state of Texas in passing.
​
Auburn offered. Oregon offered. Penn State, Texas A&M, Tennessee.
​
He committed to Texas Tech in December of his junior year, to the staff that had offered him first.
​
He'd decided long before. He watched the Red Raiders beat Texas in overtime from the stands with his mom, went back to the hotel, and prayed about it.
​
Week 1 of last season, he broke a 64-yard touchdown run and hit 20.2 miles per hour. Eighth-fastest player in the country that week.
​
In September the starter went down at Utah. He came off the bench for 230 yards and two touchdowns in the second half. Final: 34-10.
​
Between thirty and thirty-five of his relatives were in that stadium. His dad's family never left Utah.
​
Then two starts of his own. Then the knee.
​
"If it's gonna be somebody that's going to be totally dedicated to getting back and attack the situation," his coach said, "there's nobody that attacks anything like Will."
​
The team moved on without him. Conference title. Playoff. Orange Bowl.
​
In the offseason they signed the top quarterback in the portal to start ahead of him. By spring that plan had fallen apart.
​
He couldn't do anything about any of it. So he did the only thing in front of him.
​
He wasn't cleared for spring ball. He threw anyway. Player-run seven-on-seven all summer with receivers who'd never caught a pass from him.
​
This month his coach told ESPN that if they were playing right now, he could do everything.
​
Full medical clearance: August 21. Week 1: September 5.
​
Nine months from a knee that gave out on its own, to QB1.
​
Will Hammond.
​
Now you see the whole picture.

[Masih Alinejad @AlinejadMasih]

While the world watches the war, the Islamic Republic of Iran hanged a 19-year-old boy today.

His name is Erfan Esfandiari and he was his parents' only child.

He did not kill anyone. He did not carry a weapon. His crime, according to the Islamic Republic, was opening a door. Sheltering protesters who were running from security forces. That was enough to send him to the gallows.

Erfan was one of 12 young men in the Alikhani Square case in Isfahan, arrested during the January 2026 uprising. Yesterday, all 12 were moved to quarantine. Today, the Islamic Republic hanged him.

This is a government that is so terrified of a generation that refuses to be silent, that it executes teenagers for the act of compassion.

Say his name. Because the regime is already trying to erase him. Because his mother and father are left with nothing, not even the right to grieve loudly.

Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire tells ESPN that Will Hammond could well end up as the Week 1 starter, which is earlier than his stated timeline from spring as Hammond recovers from a torn ACL. "I think he could be, I really do," McGuire said when asked if Hammond ends up starting.

My name is Ella, I'm 17 years old.
I do long jump. I play volleyball. I go to school in New Richmond, Wisconsin.
When my school allowed a biological male into the girls' restroom without telling parents —
I went to the school board.
With my name attached.
In my own town.
I got bullied for it. Harassed online. Even some of my own teachers came after me.
I'm still here.
Because here's what I know:
The net in women's volleyball is set nearly a foot lower for a reason.
A biological male can hit a ball across that net at force that could seriously injure a girl.
And in track — all it takes is three biological males entering the girls' category
and not a single girl in this state stands on a podium.
I didn't speak up because it was easy.
I spoke up because somebody had to.
The Supreme Court is about to answer the question every girl in America is asking.
We're ready.
