The New York Islanders have signed defenseman Tony DeAngelo to a one-year deal for a prorated portion of the league minimum salary of $775,000. The move comes as the Islanders attempt to patch up their injury-depleted blue line. The team announced the signing on Friday, a timely addition given the absence of key defensemen Noah Dobson, who is listed as week-to-week with a leg injury sustained Monday, and Mike Reilly, who is recovering from heart surgery. DeAngelo, currently on waivers, could join the lineup as early as Saturday if he clears waivers on Friday. A Polarizing Return to…
The longest college football season in history has officially ended, and now the Ohio State Buckeyes are facing pivotal roster decisions.

Penn State wrapped up a successful 2024 season with a narrow loss to national runner-up Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl. Despite the defeat, the Nittany Lions ended the season ranked No. 5 in the final AP Poll—the highest finish in James Franklin’s 11 years as head coach. Building on that momentum, Penn State has retained most of its eligible talent heading into the 2025 season. While the departure of standout linebacker Abdul Carter was expected, the early NFL Draft declaration of Kobe King came as a bit of a surprise. Even so, the Lions’ strong core has made…
Is Tennessee football about to land another offensive lineman? All signs point to yes, as things are moving quickly with Notre Dame guard Sam Pendleton, who entered the transfer portal on Wednesday. Pendleton, a 6-foot-4, 310-pound lineman, started seven games for the Fighting Irish in 2024. However, he lost his starting spot midway through the season and didn’t see the field in Notre Dame’s College Football Playoff games against Georgia, Penn State, and Ohio State. For Tennessee, this could be a golden opportunity. According to Volquest’s Austin Price, Pendleton is scheduled to visit Knoxville for an official visit…

However, their success was overshadowed by ongoing debates about the quarterback position. Despite fans urging head coach Steve Sarkisian to start Arch Manning over Quinn Ewers, Sarkisian stuck with Ewers as the starter. Even when Manning excelled in two starts while Ewers was sidelined with an oblique injury, Sarkisian remained committed to his quarterback.
