Ohio State head coach Ryan Day confirmed that a deal is in place to keep defensive coordinator Matt Patricia with the program, calling it a priority to “solidify his future” in Columbus.
Officials behind a newly formed high school athletic conference serving parts of Carroll, Stark and Tuscarawas counties have publicly revealed the league’s name.
The Cleveland Guardians have agreed to a minor league deal with first baseman Rhys Hoskins.
The deal is pending Hoskins passing a physical, but he was with the team on Sunday. Manager Stephen Vogt told reporters he is excited to have Hoskins added as a right-handed hitter who can compete for time at first base and designated hitter.
Roughly a week after longtime tight end David Njoku said his goodbyes to Cleveland, All-Pro right guard Wyatt Teller did the same on Wednesday, confirming on social media he would not be returning to the Browns in 2026. The soon-to-be free agent did not specify whose decision it was, but began his Instagram message by simply stating, “I wish things were different.”
The Inter Valley Conference is preparing for significant membership changes.
In a press release issued by the league’s principals, the IVC announced it is seeking schools interested in joining the conference beginning with the 2028–29 school year following recent developments affecting conference membership.
