HUSKER FOOTBALL RECRUITMENT CONTINUES STRONG SUMMER WITH LEGACY RECRUIT:
The son of Nebraska I-Back Ken Clark, Quinn Clark, will follow in his dad’s footsteps to Lincoln to become a Husker. The 6-foot-5 and 195-pound Clark is the No. 1 player in Montana in 2024.
Clark, from Bozeman (Mont.) Gallatin picked up an offer from Nebraska following his summer camp performance on June 12th.
Clark caught the eye of the Nebraska staff during summer camp. Matt Rhule and his staff only made a couple of on-the-field offers during summer camp, and one of those offers was to Clark.
Clark had 58 receptions in his junior year for 918 yards and 15 touchdowns. He averaged 15.8 yards per catch and had a 77-yard reception last season.
FORMER ARKANSAS, NFL QUARTERBACK RYAN MALLET DIES IN DROWNING ACCIDENT:
Former NFL quarterback Ryan Mallett died Tuesday from drowning at a beach in Destin, Florida. He was 35.
Mallett began his college football career at Michigan in 2007 as a backup to Chad Henne before transferring to Arkansas and starting 26 games between the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
Mallett threw for more than 3,600 yards and at least 30 touchdowns in each of his seasons with the Razorbacks. He went on to be selected by the New England Patriots in the third round of the 2011 NFL draft.
HAWKS CLEAR CAP ROOM; TRADE COLLINS TO JAZZ FOR RUDY GAY:
The Atlanta Hawks cleared significant salary cap space on Monday by agreeing to trade forward John Collins to the Utah Jazz for veteran forward Rudy Gay and a future second-round draft pick.
Collins, who was the subject of trade speculation during the offseason and again leading up to last week’s NBA draft, finally was dealt to Utah.
Collins, 25, was a first-round pick in 2017 and scored in double figures in each of his six seasons with Atlanta.
NASCAR’S JIMMIE JOHNSON’S PARENTS FOUND DEAD IN SHOOTING:
Police in Muskogee, Oklahoma, confirmed Tuesday they are investigating the shooting deaths of three relatives of seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson.
The bodies of Jack Janway, 69; his wife Terry Janway, 68; and their grandson Dalton Janway, 11, were discovered Monday at a home in Muskogee, located about 50 miles southeast of Tulsa. Muskogee police said investigators believe Terry Janway shot and killed her husband and grandson before shooting herself.
