NEWS: #Jets star pass rusher Will McDonald IV worked at McDonald’s in high school and would sometimes sleep in his car some days. McDonald IV defied all expectations, grinding, and was a first-round pick in the 2023 #NFL Draft. Remarkable journey Will has had to the league.

It is with our deepest sympathies that we share the tragic loss of Alex Ernst, a valued & beloved member of the Cyclone Football Family. Alex served in our program for nearly two decades and will be deeply missed. Our thoughts are with Alex’s family, friends and all of those whose lives he touched. cyclones.com/news/2025/5/6/i…

Five years to the day Barry Odom was fired at Missouri. Now he's one game away from the College Football Playoff. He started his press conference with reflection and emotion that everyone should hear. @unlvfootball "You pick yourself up. You dust yourself off and you go create more. "
