Sources: The #Giants will be signing DT Shelby Harris.

Harris, who has been in the league for over a decade, is one of the most respected DTs in the league and has appeared in more than 140 career games.

Mokena (IL.) 2030 OL Charles Sleight (@Charles_Sleight)

Sleight possesses ideal size for OL, standing around 6’3, 275lbs. He moves fairly for his size, is unafraid to put his hands on you & drive.

Interesting 2030 prospect.

Marist grad Pat Coogan (Indiana) drafted by the Titans, the third former Marist player, along with Carnell Tate and Jimmy Rolder, to get picked in this weekend's NFL Draft. Kinda crazy. Pretty awesome.

[Marist HS Athletics @HonorGloryFame]

Congratulations to Carnell Tate, Jimmy Rolder ’22, and Pat Coogan ’21 on being selected in this year’s NFL Draft! Your Marist family is so excited to continue supporting you as you move on to compete at the next level.

[Coach Mike Piton @mpiton62]

When a player enters the portal, coaches have to treat it like he’s gone. That frees a roster spot and scholarship, forcing staffs to move quickly to replace it, sometimes with a transfer, sometimes a recruit, sometimes at a totally different position. It puts everyone in a tough situation. It’s not really anyone’s fault, just the reality of today’s landscape. Go read the article on why the KState HC stepped away. It’s a mess, someone needs to regulate it. Glad he’s back! Roll Birds!

[Coach Mike Piton @mpiton62]

Thank you @RedbirdFB! Grateful for the opportunity to be a Redbird 20 years ago, and even more thankful that your incredible run gave us former players a chance to reconnect and relive another day with the Birds. Once a Bird, always a Bird!
