#Chargers RB Keaton Mitchell says he was shocked the Ravens had no interest in bringing him back — to the point that neither he nor his agent even heard from them.

"I was surprised. I ain't gonna lie."

BREAKING: BYU star PG Rob Wright III has OFFICIALLY entered the transfer portal, and is heavily involved with Kentucky, Arkansas, and Ohio State, per sources.

Wright (6’1 180) averaged 18 PPG this year. He is both an elite shooter (41% 3pt) and distributor of the basketball.

He is ranked as a top five player in the portal.

Where do you think Wright will end up? He will be one of the top offensive players in the country next season and can handle a huge workload.

For many #Buckeye fans, kicking has been a question mark in recent years.

That is expected to change.

New #Buckeyes K Connor Hawkins (@connor_hawk1ns) has been one of the standouts this spring, showing consistency, confidence and a big leg.

Early returns have Ohio State feeling like it’s finally found its answer at kicker. #GoBucks
