Who Is

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few decades, it's pretty apparent to all that LeBron James has changed the face of basketball over his multi-year career.

And he's earned himself plenty of supporters over the length of his time in the NBA -- especially his wife Savannah, who's been with him since before he joined the league.

We're going to take a look at the background of the athlete's spouse and see how she's stayed with him throughout his run in professional sports.

Savannah's established a name for herself as a podcaster, as she launched the "Everybody's Crazy podcast" with her longtime friend April McDaniel in 2024.

Savannah spoke to People shortly before the podcast's launch and said the prospect of opening up in a public setting felt "freeing," as she had been a relatively private individual up to that point.

In addition to her podcasting interests, Savannah's been involved with various philanthropic efforts over the years, and she launched a mentorship program, Women Of Our Future, which operates in her hometown of Akron, Ohio, in 2017.

She's since helped launch a membership community, Let It Break, which offers networking opportunities for women dedicated to "personal growth and self-discovery," according to Harper's Bazaar.

Savannah and LeBron's love story began in their high school days, and although he'd initially asked for the number of one of her friends, the podcaster ended up getting the athlete's contact information ... but she later told Cleveland Magazine she briefly forgot she had his number. They had their first one-on-one date at an Outback Steakhouse.

The pair dated for more than a decade -- and attended high school prom together -- before the NBA star popped the big question in 2011.

Savannah and LeBron waited for two more years before tying the knot in a star-studded ceremony, which featured a performance by Beyoncé and Jay-Z.

Savannah gave birth to her eldest son, LeBron "Bronny" James Jr., in 2004, when she was still in high school and her husband was in his rookie NBA season.

The podcaster's second son, Bryce, was born in 2007, and she welcomed a daughter named Zhuri in 2014.

And ya gotta imagine Savannah's a proud mom, because Bronny followed in his father's footsteps into the NBA, while Bryce signed on to play college basketball for the University of Arizona Wildcats in January 2025.

While Hulk Hogan's death affected much of the wrestling world, it hit his family -- including his daughter Brooke -- especially hard.

The thing is, the late wrestler's eldest child wasn't present when the WWE champion was laid to rest, as she'd been estranged from her family for an extended period of time.

We're going to take a look at the background of the performer's daughter ... and examine what drove them apart.

Hogan shared his daughter Brooke and his son Nick with his first wife, Linda ... who he married in 1983 and divorced in 2009.

The professional wrestler's daughter got engaged to former Dallas Cowboys center Nick Costa, although they broke things off in 2013 before saying their vows.

She eventually moved on with former professional ice hockey player Steven Oleksy, and they made things official between them, marrying in June 2022.

Brooke and Oleksy started a family in 2025, when they welcomed a pair of fraternal twins named Oliver and Molly.

Brooke began her singing career in 2006 when she released her debut album, "Undiscovered" ... followed up by a record titled "The Redemption," released three years later.

She's also released several EPs, a mixtape, and numerous singles over the course of her musical career.

In addition to her work as a singer, Brooke's appeared on various television shows, including starring in the reality series "Brooke Knows Best," which ran for two seasons.

The late wrestler's daughter has since begun a career in interior design, and she founded her own design company, BB Designs By Brooke, in 2018.

Brooke's family life hasn't exactly been the smoothest, however, and she was estranged from her father at the time of his death.

We revealed the two hadn't spoken since 2023 shortly after Hulk died, as their relationship had been affected by issues over the years.

And that's not all ... her mother shared a video on her Instagram account in March 2025, claiming Brooke had "cut me out" and hadn't spoken to her in "almost eight years."

Brooke responded with an Instagram post of her own, in which she stated there were "completely separate reasons" for the distance she'd created between herself and each of her parents.

Following Hogan's death at the age of 71, he was memorialized at a funeral service in Largo, Florida ... where celebs like Vince McMahon, Triple H, and Ric Flair gathered to pay their last respects to the wrestler.

But, Brooke was a no-show at the event -- she explained her decision to skip the event by sharing a post on her Instagram account, claiming her father "hated the morbidity of funerals."

She said she honored her late father by taking a trip to the beach with her husband and their children.

DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas are a pretty great team on the court, as they've helped the Phoenix Mercury become the second-highest-ranking team in the WNBA's Western Conference for the 2025 season.

The thing is, they're even closer off the court, as the pair got engaged in September 2023!

We're going to take a look into Thomas' background and see how her love story with her teammate and future wife unfolded.

Thomas began receiving attention for her basketball skills playing for Central Dauphin High School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The athlete graduated in 2010, and she signed on to play basketball for the University of Maryland.

Thomas became the Terrapins' all-time leader in several categories, including points, rebounds and free throws made, according to the team's official website.

The basketball star graduated from the University of Maryland in 2014, and the school retired her jersey number on her Senior Day.

Thomas' career in the WNBA began in 2014, when she was drafted by the New York Liberty ... before being traded to the Connecticut Sun.

The athlete, who plays as a power forward, remained with the team for several seasons, and she ultimately left the Sun in 2024.

Thomas has also been associated with various international teams over the length of her career, which has seen her play in countries like South Korea and the Czech Republic.

Thomas' career with the Phoenix Mercury began in February 2025, when the team announced it had acquired the athlete as part of a trade.

In case it wasn't apparent already, Bonner and Thomas met through their involvement with the WNBA, and Bonner jokingly told CBS News she'd "stalked" her now-fiancée's Instagram account in the beginning stages of their relationship.

The pair's connection deepened further when they were required to remain in bubbles with the rest of their team for part of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The happy couple went public with their relationship in 2021, and the Mercury revealed their engagement in a post on its official X account two years later.

Kelly Clarkson's been through plenty of changes in her life, and a major one came in early August 2025, when it was revealed her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, died.

The talent manager privately fought a battle with cancer for three years, and he ultimately died at the age of 48.

We're going to take a look at the background of the singer's late partner and see how she cared for him in his final years.

Blackstock worked as a talent manager, and he was associated with Starstruck Entertainment, a company founded by his father Narvel.

Narvel was married to Reba McEntire from 1989 until 2015, and the country singer described her ex-stepson as her "blood" in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

Starstruck primarily operates in the country music space, and Blackstock oversaw the careers of several high-profile artists, including Blake Shelton.

Blackstock eventually departed the music industry, and he began focusing on developing and running a cattle ranch in Montana.

The talent manager and the singer met in 2006, while he was still married to his first wife, Melissa Ashworth.

Blackstock and his Ashworth tied the knot in 2001 and welcomed a daughter and a son -- Savannah and Seth -- over the course of their marriage. They divorced in 2012.

The talent manager eventually reconnected with Clarkson -- whom he managed from 2017 to 2020 -- and they married in 2013.

The couple started a family with the birth of their daughter River in 2014, and their son Remington was born two years later.

Blackstock and Clarkson remained together until 2020, when the singer filed for divorce, and she was awarded primary custody of their children that November.

The pair's divorce proceedings stretched out for two years before their marriage was officially dissolved in March 2022. The singer had to provide her ex-husband with just over $1.3 million, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.

However, Blackstock was subsequently ordered to pay Clarkson more than $2.6 million for putting together business deals that should've been handled by a talent agent for her during his time as her manager, according to People.

The two later filed lawsuits against each other regarding commissions Blackstock paid himself while he was Clarkson's manager ... although they ended up dismissing their respective suits, according to Rolling Stone.

Clarkson began missing tapings for her talk show in March 2025, and various guest hosts filled her spot over the course of several episodes.

Although the singer didn't specify why she'd stepped away from the cameras, sources have since told People Clarkson skipped out on the tapings as a result of Blackstock's cancer battle.

The singer's commitment to Blackstock's well-being was later revealed to be the reason why she postponed several dates of her Las Vegas residency.

Chiney Ogwumike has earned herself plenty of supporters over her career as a professional basketball player and sports analyst -- including her husband, Raphael Akpejiori.

The athlete's husband went through plenty of changes in his life before he met the former Los Angeles Sparks team member, whom he married in 2023.

We're going to take a look into the boxer's background and see how his love story with the basketball star played out.

Ogwumike's not the only one with experience on the court, as her husband -- who was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria -- played on the University of Miami basketball team.

Akpejiori served as a forward for the Hurricanes, and he spent a total of four seasons on the squad.

Oh, and in addition to his work on the court, the athlete spent a season as a tight end on the school football team ... and he was later added to the Miami Dolphins practice squad in 2015, according to the Miami Herald.

Akpejiori eventually earned a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Miami, and he landed a position in the school's Energy Department.

The athlete's boxing career began while he was at the University of Miami, where he began training after a friend decided to start going to a boxing gym.

Akpejiori, who told the Miami Herald his interest in boxing "started for me as a workout," eventually began competing as an amateur, and he won 13 out of his first 14 bouts.

He became a professional in 2018, and he trained with former world light-heavyweight champion Glen Johnson, who said Raphael was "very raw" when they began working together.

However, the former champ said seeing Akpejiori's skills as a boxer develop over the years was "very gratifying."

Ogwumike and her husband initially matched on a dating app, according to People, and their first date took place at a Burna Boy concert.

The former Los Angeles Sparks star and the boxer got engaged on Christmas Eve in 2022.

The happy couple subsequently the knot over a four-day wedding ceremony in Houston, Texas the following November.

Clemson University is well known in the sports world for its college football history ... and their new running back, Gideon Davidson, looks like he'll be a great addition to the South Carolina institution's squad.

The athlete became a local star in Virginia for his prowess on the field during his time in high school, and now he's preparing for his first season of college ball.

Here's a look at the hard work and dedication the football star put in toward getting ready to compete in the NCAA.

Although he calls Lynchburg, Virginia his home, Davidson's story begins in Ghana, where he was born in 2006, according to Cardinal News.

The athlete's father passed away prior to his birth, and although his mother and her six children moved in with their uncle, the kids were eventually sent to an orphanage after his uncle was no longer able to care for them.

Davidson remained in the orphanage for roughly a year before he and two of his brothers were adopted by a family in the United States.

However, their first adoptive family eventually gave the brothers up ... and they were taken in by the Davidson family.

The athlete -- whose previous adoptive family had placed more of an emphasis on soccer than football -- began his career on the gridiron not long after he was adopted by the Davidsons.

He quickly made a name for himself as an athlete, and he helped Liberty Christian Academy finish out their 2021 season with a 13-1 record -- not bad for a freshman!

Davidson earned himself numerous accolades over the course of his high school career, and he made it onto the 2025 ESPN 300 list, where he was the third-highest ranking running back.

And in case his football career wasn't impressive enough, the athlete was a member of his high school's track and field team, where he competed in several events, including the 200-meter dash and shot put, according to 247 Sports.

Davidson's work on the field garnered him plenty of attention from schools with prominent football programs, and he received offers from institutions like USC, Penn State and Virginia Tech, among others.

After fielding offers from various universities, the athlete decided to head to Clemson, and he committed to the university in 2023.

Davidson told ESPN he felt the school's coaching staff were "great guys" and he greatly enjoyed being around them.

Residents of Tennessee were shocked in late July 2025 when four people were murdered in Jackson County, in the northwest corner of the state ... and a baby belonging to one of the victims was later found in a stranger's yard 25 miles away from the scene of the crime.

Local authorities subsequently began a manhunt, which concluded a month later when Austin Robert Drummond was apprehended after a multi-day search.

We're going to take a look into the murder suspect's troubled past.

Drummond's criminal past stretches over a decade into the past, as he was convicted of aggravated robbery in 2014 after robbing a convenience store in Jackson, Tennessee the year prior, according to WREG-TV in Memphis.

The suspect spent 13 years behind bars, during which he picked up an additional charge for retaliation, according to Fox News.

Drummond posted numerous photos on his Facebook account while he was locked up, showing off his use of a cell phone, possession of a vodka bottle, and other contraband.

His sentence ended in September 2024, and he was released ... and he was arrested on a drug charge that same day. He was also charged with attempted murder, stemming from an incident in prison -- but he was free on bond at the time of July 2025 quadruple murder.

Drummond was captured in Jackson, Tennessee, on August 5, 2025, after spending several days on the run from local and state authorities, according to NBC News.

Multiple sightings of the suspect were reported over the course of the manhunt, and a shelter-in-place order was issued after he was caught on security camera wearing camouflage clothing and carrying a rifle.

Drummond had apparently been hiding out in an abandoned building in Jackson for part of the manhunt, according to Police Chief Thom Corley.

A motive for the quadruple killing was not immediately established ... although authorities don't believe the incident was a random act of violence. It's unclear how the baby ended up 25 miles from the murder scene.

Investigators believed Drummond had ties to the Vice Lords gang, who maintain a presence in Illinois and Tennessee, according to CNN.

Authorities suspected the murder suspect received help from other gang members over the course of the search for him.

Three individuals were arrested in and have been accused of helping Drummond while he was on the run.

Fort Stewart in southeastern Georgia descended into panic on Wednesday, August 6, when a shooter began opening fire on the military post, wounding five individuals.

Authorities were able to apprehend the suspected shooter, who's since been identified as Quornelius Radford, although he hasn't spoken about why he attacked the post.

We're going to take a look into the background of the suspect and get a handle on what may have led to the surprising attack.

Radford held the rank of sergeant at the time of the attack, and he was on active duty, according to NBC News.

The victims of the shooting were his co-workers, and he was reported to have used his personal weapon during the attack.

Radford was also reported to have ties to Florida, although his exact connection to the state was unclear immediately following the shooting.

Brigadier General John Lubas stated the suspect was "subdued" by other soldiers at the end of the attack, and claimed he was arrested by local authorities for allegedly driving while drunk, although the chain of command was unaware of the arrest.

Residents of Washington, D.C. learned in August 2025 when it was reported a young man had been beaten and bloodied by a group of several minors in an attempted carjacking.

The victim of the violent incident was identified as Edward Coristine, a teenage former DOGE staffer who's gained notoriety for both his professional life and his online nickname, "Big Balls."

We're going to look into the background of the government employee and see how the attack has generated widespread reactions ... including one from President Donald Trump.

Coristine is the son of Charles Coristine, the CEO of LesserEvil Snacks, which he sold for $750 million in April 2025, according to CNBC.

The company sent out a cryptic email to customers in February 2025, after Edward had been hired at DOGE -- the Department of Government Efficiency -- and wrote they were "no way affiliated with any political figures, political policies or political groups," according to The Verge.

The government employee enrolled at Northeastern University in Boston in 2024, where he studied in the institution's physics department.

He was fired from an internship at a cybersecurity firm after being accused of leaking secrets ... and he later interned at Elon Musk's neurotechnology company NeuroLink, according to Bloomberg News.

Coristine -- who told Fox News he took on his nickname as a joke -- joined DOGE in early 2025, and his hiring was met attracted a lot of national attention, specifically about his age and lack of experience.

DOGE's cuts affected multiple federal agencies -- including the Social Security Administration, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, and USAID -- during his tenure with the group, according to The Guardian.

Coristine remained with DOGE until he resigned in June 2025 ... just a month after Musk, who spearheaded the group, officially left the organization.

Coristine subsequently joined the Social Security Administration as a special government employee, and a spokesperson for the organization claimed Cortisone would focus on "improving the functionality of the Social Security website and advancing our mission of delivering more efficient service to the American people," according to NBC News.

The attack on Coristine took place about a mile north of the White House in the early hours of August 3, 2025, and reportedly started when a group of youths approached the him and his significant other and made comments about taking their car, according to the New York Post.

Coristine apparently pushed his companion into the car before the minors began assaulting him -- the attack was stopped when police officers arrived at the scene ... several of the assailants fled.

Cops arrested two 15-year-old suspects -- a girl and a boy -- and they've been charged with unarmed carjacking.

Coristine, who had his iPhone 16 stolen during the incident, was left bruised and bloodied, and he's apparently recovering from a black eye, a concussion and a broken nose.

The attack was noticed by several prominent figures within Washington, D.C. ... including Trump, who shared a lengthy message on Truth Social -- the platform he owns -- condemning the attack.

The President called for the prosecution of the suspects as adults, and for lengthy prison sentences. Then he threatened to federalize Washington, D.C. to "run this city how it should be run."

The grounds of the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. became the site of a tragic incident in May 2025, when a gunman shot and killed two Israeli Embassy workers outside the building.

Police have since identified the suspect as Elias Rodriguez, who was arrested at the scene of the crime and has remained in custody ever since.

We're going to take a look at the background of the accused murderer and see how he's facing serious charges for his alleged actions.

A LinkedIn page apparently belonging to Rodriguez was found shortly after the shooting, and he was listed as a Profiles Administration Specialist for the American Osteopathic Information Association.

The suspect also served as an Oral History Researcher for the History Makers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the oral histories of the African American community.

An archived version of the organization's official website showed Rodriguez had been involved with the nonprofit since 2023, and also listed him as born and raised in Chicago.

He reportedly holds a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Illinois at Chicago and worked as a content writer in the tech industry.

Rodriguez was involved with various political causes prior to the shooting, and he took part in a demonstration in front of former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home in the city in 2017, according to the New York Times.

The accused murderer affiliated himself with the left-wing political organization Party for Socialism and Liberation, although the group has since distanced itself from Rodriguez and condemned his alleged actions.

The group posted a message on its X account claiming the murder suspect "had a brief association with one branch of the PSL that ended in 2017" and knew "of no contact with him in over 7 years."

Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling stated Rodriguez had no criminal background at the time of the shooting.

Rodriguez was initially mistaken as a victim of the shooting, and several bystanders thought he needed aid when he entered the museum following the attack, according to the Associated Press.

However, an FBI affidavit indicated the suspected shooter allegedly stated he "did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza" when asked about the event.

Rodriguez reportedly then pulled out a red keffiyeh -- a patterned scarf worn by various communities in the Middle East -- after police arrived at the scene of the attack.

The accused murderer was seen yelling "Free Palestine" as he was being arrested following the shooting.

Several sources claimed the Justice Department is seeking to indict Rodriguez on federal hate crime charges, according to CNN.

One source indicated the indictment is likely to include special findings for capital punishment, allowing the Department to seek the death penalty.

The grand jury has reportedly heard several weeks of testimony from various witnesses of the incident, as well as acquaintances and family members of Rodriguez.

The Ohio State University -- better known as THE Ohio State University -- is getting a serious boost of talent for its 2025-2026 season with cornerback Devin Sanchez.

The athlete made waves for his prowess on the gridiron over the course of his high school career, and he's been open about his enthusiasm for his career with the Buckeyes.

We're going to check out what the football player's done to make a name for himself and see how he's feeling about his first collegiate season.

Sanchez attracted attention for his work on the field over the course of his high school career, during which he helped take North Shore High School in Texas to state semifinal and championship game appearances, according to 247 Sports.

The athlete recorded an impressive 32 tackles, as well as five interceptions, over the course of his junior season, according to ESPN.

Sanchez's work on the field earned him plenty of accolades, and he was placed on 247 Sports' 2025 Freak List.

Oh, and in case his football career wasn't impressive enough, he was involved with his high school's track and field program, where he ran in the 100, 200, and 400-meter dash events.

Sanchez's skills on the field made him a top college prospect, and he received offers from numerous institutions, including Louisiana State University, the University of Alabama and Arizona State University.

The athlete revealed he'd made the decision to commit early to Ohio State University in January 2024 at the All-American Bowl, according to Bleacher Report.

Although Sanchez had plans to visit both Alabama and LSU, he cancelled the trips ... saying he felt Ohio State was "the only team showing true love."

He also claimed Ohio State "felt like home" after taking a trip to the institution in 2024, which greatly influenced his decision to commit to the school.

Sanchez enrolled in classes in January 2025, and he took part in spring drills, according to Ohio State University's official website.

He's also been open about his plans to succeed on the field, and told ESPN he was "going to do whatever [I have] to do to get that starting spot and keep it."

Sanchez then claimed he didn't "really like to lose" and was excited about playing for Ohio State, as he felt they were "going to lose no more than two games."

The prospects for the Oregon Ducks' 2025 season became much more interesting in July 2024, when 5-star prospect Dakorien Moore officially committed to playing for the team.

The thing is, the wide receiver's plans to attend the storied institution almost didn't come to fruition, as he committed to another college before making a hard left turn and pledging to head to the West Coast.

We're going to check out how the athlete committed to -- then decommitted from -- one school before finding his ideal football program.

Moore attended Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas, and he debuted on its varsity football squad as a freshman, according to 247Sports.

He remained with the institution for the length of his high school career, and he helped lead Duncanville to a 14-1 record at the end of his senior year.

Moore finished out his final high school season, during which Duncanville made it to the Texas 6A D-I state semifinals with 204 catches and 4,113 yards.

Oh, and the athlete was also involved with his high school's track and field program, and he competed in several events, including the 100-meter dash and the long jump.

Moore's athletic accomplishments garnered him plenty of attention from various schools and universities, and he received his first offer from the University of Kansas in 2020.

Several other institutions -- including the University of Southern California, Michigan State and Purdue University -- extended offers to the athlete while he was still in high school.

Moore appeared to have his path set in August 2023, when he committed to play for Louisiana State University, according to ESPN.

The athlete explained, as he was "real big on communication and building relationships," he felt LSU had done the best job of establishing a connection with him ... which led to his decision to commit to the institution.

The thing is, Moore changed his mind in May 2024, when he decided to decommit to LSU in a shocking career move.

The athlete issued a statement on his X account at the time to let his fans know about the decision, and he expressed he would "always hold love for the entire LSU family" in his message.

Moore waited for two months before announcing he'd decided to commit to the University of Oregon in July 2024, according to ESPN.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani shocked his fan base when he announced he had gotten married in February 2024 ... although he didn't reveal any details about his spouse at the time.

Fans didn't have to wait too long to figure out who the lucky lady was, as a photo showing him standing next to his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, was shared on social media the following month.

Here's a look at the background of the athlete's wife to see how she's built a family with the pitcher and designated hitter.

Tanaka's got a history in sports, as she formerly played basketball at the professional level for several years.

The retired athlete began her sports career in her early years, and she was a member of Waseda University's collegiate team in Shinjuku, Japan.

She later joined the Fujitsu Red Wave, which is affiliated with the Women’s Japan Basketball League, and she competed as a power forward.

Tanaka remained with the Fujitsu Red Wave for four years, and she retired from professional sports in 2023.

Ohtani's personal life became the subject of intense attention from his fans when he revealed he had gotten married in an Instagram post in February 2024.

While he didn't name Tanaka at the time, he wrote he'd tied the knot with "someone from my Native country," whom he described as "very special to me."

The baseball star added he was "excited" about the prospect of married life, and thanked his fans for their support.

And his fans got their first glimpse of Tanaka the following month, when the Dodgers posted a photo of the happy couple prepping to jet off to Seoul, South Korea on the team's official X account.

The happy couple kept the big reveals coming, as Ohtani announced his wife was pregnant in an Instagram post in December 2024.

The baseball star's photo showed his dog, Decoy, lying next to a pink onesie, baby shoes, and what appeared to be a photo of an ultrasound ... and he wrote a short message to let his fans know he was getting ready to welcome a "little rookie" into his life.

Tanaka gave birth to a baby girl in April 2025, and Ohtani shared another Instagram post to let his fans know his child was "healthy" and "beautiful."

The sports world's seen plenty of great athletes come out of the University of Texas over the years, but the institution's only had a select few dual threats throughout its history. Dual threats can refer to an athlete who excels at two aspects of the game, like running and passing -- or in Jonah Williams' case, a player who dominates in two separate sports.

The Longhorns just debuted the team's newest dual-threat athlete, who's garnered much attention for his work on the diamond and gridiron.

We're going to take a look at the college athlete's background and see how he's already become notable within the University of Texas fanbase.

Williams -- who graduated early from Ball High School in his hometown of Galveston, Texas -- committed to play football for the University of Texas in August 2024, according to ESPN.

The athlete had been courted by institutions like USC, the University of Oregon, and LSU before deciding to remain in his home state.

It was reported Williams was planning on splitting his time between the school's baseball and football programs ... in addition to pursuing a degree in sports management.

The dual-threat told ESPN he'd settled on the University of Texas because of the opportunities "with life after football" he'd be able to achieve through his affiliation with the school.

Upon enrolling at the University of Texas, Williams was faced with balancing his interests in both football and baseball, as well as managing the expectations of both of his coaches, football coach Steve Sarkisian and baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle.

As baseball season came first for Williams, Sarkisian encouraged the athlete to head to the diamond first ... and Schlossnagle, who heads the squad, told Longhorns Wire the football coach was "super supportive" of the athlete's participation on the team.

Sarkisian apparently told the dual-threat to spend time with the football squad when he was able, while focusing on building a profile for himself on the baseball team.

Jonah's already made an impression with the institution's football personnel as well, and the school's defensive coordinator, Pete Kwiatkowski -- who Williams will play under as a defensive back -- declared he "couldn't be happier" to work with the athlete.

Although Williams has earned himself a fair amount of press for his two-sport ambitions, he garnered criticism for his on-field actions during a baseball game against the University of Florida in May 2025, according to Longhorns Wire.

The Longhorns were down 8-1 at the bottom of the 7th inning when the athlete stepped up to bat, and his animated reactions to every pitch were widely criticized across social media.

Williams was eventually walked, although he chose to toss his bat to the side and nodded his head as he made his way toward first base -- where he exchanged words with the first baseman, and the two players had to be separated.

There's plenty of freshmen out there getting fans excited for the coming college football season, and Jahkeem Stewart's way up there on that list.

The defensive lineman landed his fair share of achievements over the course of his high school career -- which ended up being much shorter than anyone expected!

We're going to take a look into the college athlete's background and see what he's got planned for his future in football.

Stewart was born and raised in Reserve, Louisiana, located roughly 30 miles north of New Orleans, and began playing football early on in his life.

The athlete grew to 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighed 340 pounds when he was in 6th grade, according to ESPN ... that's also when he began working with trainer Clyde Alexander.

Stewart's trainer stepped in when the football player's family home was destroyed by Hurricane Ida in 2021, and he allowed the student athlete to move in with him. He dropped 60 pounds right away, ESPN reports. He now stands 6-foot-6 and weighs around 270 pounds.

The athlete enrolled at St. Augustine High School in 2022 ... although the institution's transfer rules kept him from playing varsity-level football as a freshman.

Stewart was ruled eligible to play for St. Augustine his sophomore year, and he racked up 85 tackles and 20 sacks.

He ended up transferring out of St. Augustine to Edna Karr High School in an effort to make him eligible to play at the collegiate level at a faster rate, after St. Augustine denied his request to reclassify him to the 2025 class. After he was reclassifed he became eligible for the early college-football signing period.

Stewart didn't appear too beat up by the switch, and told ESPN the skills he learned at his first high school "helped me become a way better man than I was going in there."

He later spoke about the success of his high school football career, stating "every time I stepped on the field -- it was havoc."

Stewart, a top recruit during his time in high school, received numerous offers to play at various institutions, including LSU, Ohio State, and the University of Oregon.

The defensive lineman eventually accepted an offer from the University of Southern California, where he's set to join their defensive line.

Stewart's not the only 5-star recruit who pledged to the institution, as he'll be joined by quarterback Husan Longstreet.

The small town of Anaconda, Montana, was rocked to its core on August 1, 2025, when a gunman entered The Owl Bar and opened fire, killing several people.

Local authorities have since identified the suspect as Michael Paul Brown, who fled the scene of the crime and is believed to be hiding from the law.

We're going to take a look into the background of the suspected gunman and see what authorities have done in the wake of the shooting.

Brown, who lived next door to The Owl Bar, where he was apparently a regular, served in the U.S. Army for several years, and he departed the armed forces with the rank of sergeant in 2009, according to NBC News.

The murder suspect served as an armor crewman from 2001 to 2005, was deployed to Iraq for just over a year, leaving in March 2005, and he was part of the Montana National Guard from April 2006 until March 2009.

Montana bar owner Shane Charles said Brown had dealt with post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as "mental health problems," and described the veteran as "a great guy when he was on his meds."

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen said the murder suspect has a criminal record.

Authorities allege Brown entered The Owl Bar at around 10:30 AM Mountain Time and opened fire with a rifle, then fled the scene in a white pickup truck.

Three patrons and a bartender, ranging in age from 59 to 74, were shot and killed ... Knudsen said the suspect "likely" knew the victims of the attack.

Brown then allegedly got rid of his clothing and other belongings before getting new clothing from a stolen vehicle that contained camping equipment.

Local authorities later released a photo showing the suspect apparently leaving the scene of the incident, dressed only in a pair of boxers, taken before he switched vehicles.

Authorities later located the vehicle Brown ... and Knudsen expressed he was "very likely up in the mountains, hiding in the timber, in the cover somewhere."

Several agencies are searching for the suspect, and a $7,500 reward has been offered by the U.S Marshals Service for any information that could lead to his arrest, according to USA Today.

Residents of Anaconda and surrounding communities were initially advised to stay inside and remain on alert, according to The Associated Press.
