KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee running back Dylan Sampson is heading to the NFL draft after leading the Southeastern Conference in rushing and setting a handful of school records. The SEC Offensive Player of the Year announced on social media his intention Friday to leave after his junior season. He helped the seventh-ranked Vols go 10-3 with a first-round loss in the College Football Playoff where Sampson was limited by an injured hamstring. Sampson thanked his family, Tennessee coaches and fans, saying he learned so much and had the chance to be part of something special. Tennessee went 3-7 in 2020, and he leaves with the Vols having won 30 games over his three seasons. “I poured my heart and soul into this program and this community,” Sampson wrote. “With that being said, I will be declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft.” Sampson set a school record running for 1,491 yards. He also set a program record with a league-best 22 rushing touchdowns, breaking a mark that had stood for 95 years. He was part of coach Josh Heupel's first full signing class in December 2021 out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He also set school records for total touchdowns scored (22), points scored (132) and consecutive games with a rushing touchdown (11). He led the SEC in nine different categories, including rushing attempts (258), rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, 100-yard rushing games with 10, averaging 114.7 yards rushing per game, points scored, points per game (10.2), all-purpose yards (1,638) and all-purpose yards per game (126.0). He finished this season tied for fifth all-time in the SEC ranks for rushing TDs in a single season with Leonard Fournette of LSU. Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season.

The Nintendo Switch has been a massive success, but after nearly seven years on the market, its successor is eagerly anticipated. Rumors are swirling about the Nintendo Switch 2 (or whatever Nintendo decides to call it), and while Nintendo remains tight-lipped, leaks and speculation paint a picture of a console with significant upgrades. From a potential design overhaul to internal hardware improvements, here are the six biggest rumored changes for the Nintendo Switch 2. Why the Hype? Nintendo has confirmed they are working on a successor to the Switch, but concrete details are scarce. This information vacuum has fueled intense speculation and anticipation among gamers . Everyone wants to know: Will it be more powerful? Will my old games work on it? Will it finally have Bluetooth audio? These questions and more are driving the intense interest in every leak and rumor. What We Think We Know (So Far) While Nintendo has been incredibly secretive, numerous leaks, rumors, and insider reports have given us a potential glimpse into the future of handheld gaming. Here are some of the most significant changes rumored for the Nintendo Switch 2: Leaked images suggest the Switch 2 will sport a larger display, potentially with slimmer bezels. While the overall form factor seems similar to the current model, subtle design refinements are expected. One leak even suggests the return of a proper D-pad, a feature sorely missed by many on the original Switch. Perhaps the most significant upgrade is the rumored inclusion of a new, more powerful chipset from Nvidia. This could translate to significant performance improvements, allowing for more demanding games with higher resolutions and smoother frame rates. While early rumors suggested the Switch 2 would stick with an LCD screen to keep costs down, more recent reports indicate Nintendo might be considering an OLED display for the new console. This would result in more vibrant colors, deeper blacks, and improved contrast. Despite rumors of a move to digital downloads, it seems physical game cartridges will remain for the Switch 2. This is good news for collectors and those who prefer physical media. The Joy-Cons, while innovative, have been plagued by issues like drift. The Switch 2 is rumored to feature redesigned Joy-Cons with improved durability and potentially new features. One of the biggest questions surrounding the Switch 2 is whether it will be backward compatible with existing Switch games. While Nintendo hasn’t confirmed anything, it seems likely given the similar cartridge format and potential architecture similarities. Looking Ahead The Nintendo Switch 2 is shaping up to be a worthy successor to the original. While these rumored changes are exciting, it’s important to remember that they are still just rumors. Nintendo could surprise us with unexpected features or changes. Ultimately, the success of the Switch 2 will depend on factors like price, game availability, and Nintendo’s ability to continue innovating in the handheld gaming space. One thing is for sure: the gaming world is watching with bated breath for Nintendo’s official reveal.San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will miss Sunday's game against the Packers with a sore throwing shoulderBlue Jackets Need Better Road Play in Second Half
Following arguably the most dominant year of golf since Tiger Woods was in his prime, Scottie Scheffler received the PGA Tour Player of the Year award on Tuesday night. It's the third straight year Scheffler has won the honor, and the World No. 1 joins Woods as the only players to win the Jack Nicklaus Award three years in a row. The award is determined by a vote of PGA Tour members. According to a news release, Scheffler received 91 percent of the vote, with Xander Schauffele and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy the only other nominees. Scheffler, 28, was the first player to win seven official PGA Tour events in a calendar year since Tiger Woods in 2007. Those victories were at some of the most prestigious events on the schedule, against some of the most elite fields. He became the first player to go back-to-back at The Players Championship, won his second career major title at the Masters and earned his other five wins at signature events: the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the RBC Heritage, the Memorial Tournament, the Travelers Championship and the season-ending Tour Championship. Though not a tour event, Scheffler captured the Olympic gold medal for men's golf at the Paris Games. He also helped the United States defeat the International team at the Presidents Cup in Montreal. "Scottie took on challenges from the best players in the world on the biggest stages all season, and being honored as PGA Tour Player of the Year is the ultimate sign of respect from his peers," PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. --Field Level MediaECU CB Shavon Revel Jr. declares for NFL draft
Telangana not to allow benefit shows of movies, actors’ theatres visitsPete Hegseth, president-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of Defense , has close ties to an Idaho-based Christian nationalist church that aims to turn America into a theocracy. Hegseth is a member of a Tennessee congregation affiliated with Christ Church, a controversial congregation in Moscow, Idaho, that has become a leader in the movement to get more Christianity in the public sphere. In an appearance last year on the Christ Church-connected streaming show “Crosspolitic,” Hegseth talked about how building up fundamentalist Christian education systems is important in what he sees as a “spiritual battle” with the secular world. He sees Christian students as foot soldiers in that war and refers to Christian schools as “boot camp.” “We’re in middle phase one right now, which is effectively a tactical retreat where you regroup, consolidate and reorganize and as you do so, you build your army underground with the opportunity later on of taking offensive operations – and obviously all of this is metaphorical and all that good stuff,” he said on the show. Hegseth did not immediately respond to requests for an interview. Hegseth has spoken positively about Christ Church Pastor Doug Wilson’s writings Christ Church is led by Pastor Doug Wilson, who founded the Calvinist group of churches called the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, or CREC. CREC has congregations in nearly all 50 states and several foreign countries. Hegseth’s church is a member of CREC, and Hegseth has spoken positively of Wilson’s writings. Wilson and his allies have a rigid patriarchal belief system and don’t believe in the separation of church and state. They support taking away the right to vote from most women, barring non-Christians from holding office and criminalizing the LGBTQ+ community. Recently, Wilson has increased his influence nationally as he’s built a religious, educational and media empire. His Association of Classical Christian Schools has hundreds of fundamentalist schools around the country, and his publishing outfit Canon Press churns out dozens of titles a year as well as popular streaming shows that highlight unyielding socially conservative ideals. In the recently released podcast, “Extremely American” (created by this reporter), Wilson says one of his goals is to get like-minded people into positions of influence. In an emailed response for this story, he said he’s closer to that post-election and that he supports Hegseth’s nomination, though he downplayed any influence he has on him. “I was grateful for Trump’s win, and believe that it is much more likely that Christians with views similar to mine will receive positions in the new administration,” he said. Hegseth nomination could threaten cohesion, diversity of U.S. military, experts say That’s what worries Air Force veteran Mikey Weinstein, who is the president of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation. Weinstein says Hegseth, if confirmed as secretary of Defense, would threaten the cohesion of a religiously and racially diverse U.S. military. “Pete Hegseth is a poster child for literally everything that would be the opposite of what you would want to have for someone who’s controlling the technologically most lethal organization in the history of this country,” he said. Weinstein sees Hegseth’s nomination as an example of the dangers of Project 2025, a 900-page policy paper written by far-right political activists. It lays out a plan to gut the federal government and install Christian nationalist ideals. “Christian nationalism is an absolute fatal cancer metastasizing at light speed (for) the national security of this country,” he said. “It is a Christian version of the Taliban.” Matthew D. Taylor, senior scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies, said Hegseth is “one of the most extreme far right figures ever nominated to a cabinet post, at least in modern memory.” Taylor said he’s broadly concerned about Christian nationalists, who tend to take a dim view of democracy, potentially having a lot of sway in this administration. “I think we should expect a profound degradation of our democratic norms of the rule of law, and I think we are edging closer to a de facto Anglo Protestant establishment, of the kind where Anglo Protestant Christianity as the de facto official religion in the United States,” he said. Hegseth faces some headwinds in his nomination process due to multiple marital sex scandals and the recent revelation that he paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault in exchange for her not speaking about it. He denies he assaulted her but admits he paid her . He’s also gotten criticism for tattoos that are symbols of the Crusades and wrote a book titled “American Crusade,” where he derides Muslims. Before becoming a TV personality, Hegseth led the conservative veterans group Concerned Veterans for America, which advocated for increased privatization of veterans’ health care. He has also said that women should not be allowed to serve in combat roles in the military, and has complained about what he terms “woke” policies in the military. GET THE MORNING HEADLINES.
