Ohio State freshman WR duo pushing for early playing time alongside Jeremiah Smith
For most of the past decade, Ohio State wide receivers have arrived on campus, waited their turn, and eventually left as prized NFL Draft picks. Current star Jeremiah Smith is the lone exception after shattering almost all the Buckeyes’ freshman receiving records in 2024. This year, though, two more true freshmen are already part of the conversation about early playing time.
Chris Henry Jr. is the expected name in that group. The five-star receiver and 247Sports’ No. 2 wideout in the 2026 recruiting class arrived in Columbus with the kind of profile that usually guarantees attention from Day 1. He’s the next in line in a series of high-end Ohio State recruits who arrive with expectations of becoming a future NFL star.
The more unexpected development is Brock Boyd.
A three-star recruit out of Southlake Carroll in Texas, Boyd was the No. 123 receiver in his class. In most years, that profile would point toward a developmental path; limited early snaps, special teams work and a longer runway to offensive involvement.
Early indications, however, suggest something more immediate may be on the table for both true freshmen.
“Him and Chris Henry Jr. are both going to be very good players,” a source told CBS Sports this spring. “Skill sets are very different, but both are really effective at what they do. As freshmen, it’s always hard, but both will help this year. … Brock can go play right now at all three receiver positions. He’s really sharp.”
Opportunity exists behind Buckeyes’ top options
Ohio State’s receiver room is more open than it might initially appear. Jeremiah Smith remains the unquestioned centerpiece after two dominant seasons, and Brandon Innis is expected to take on a larger role entering his third year in the program. Ohio State also added experienced transfers Devin McCuin from UTSA and Kyle Parker from LSU.
But beyond those four, the competition for snaps remains unsettled.
In fact, only four receivers on Ohio State’s roster have seen at least 50 targets at the FBS level: McCuin (224), Smith (211), Innis (69) and Parker (51). That helps explain why two freshmen have already worked their way into the conversation.
For Henry, the path is relatively straightforward. As one of the highest-rated receivers in the country, the expectation has always been that he would eventually push for playing time. The question is how quickly.
Boyd’s emergence is more surprising. He arrived with far less recruiting acclaim than any Ohio State receiver who has generated offseason buzz in recent memory, yet has quickly established himself as a player capable of competing at multiple spots within the offense. In a room still sorting through its depth behind the top options, those traits could accelerate his path to playing time considerably.
How much can Ohio State’s freshman WRs actually contribute?
Before Smith rewrote the record book in 2024, Ohio State’s other eventual star receivers were complementary pieces as true freshmen. All six of the Buckeyes’ wideouts taken in the first round of the past five NFL Drafts totaled fewer than 500 yards receiving during their debut seasons. Even Garrett Wilson, whose 30 catches for 432 yards and five touchdowns in 2019 represented one of the more productive freshman campaigns at the position before Smith arrived, was still working behind established veterans.
Before the NFL: Ohio State WRs as true freshmen
| Player | Year | Rec. | Yards | TD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jeremiah Smith | 2024 | 76 | 1,315 | 15 |
| Carnell Tate | 2023 | 18 | 264 | 1 |
| Emeka Egbuka | 2021 | 9 | 191 | 0 |
| Marvin Harrison Jr. | 2021 | 11 | 139 | 3 |
| Jaxon Smith-Njigba | 2020 | 10 | 49 | 1 |
| Garrett Wilson | 2019 | 30 | 432 | 5 |
| Chris Olave | 2018 | 12 | 197 | 3 |
Worth noting: Harrison and Olave arrived as four-star recruits, not the consensus five-star prospects that have since become the program’s standard at the position. Both finished their careers among Ohio State’s all-time receiving leaders.
Henry’s appeal is rooted in his physical tools. The 6-foot-5 receiver, son of former NFL wideout Chris Henry, pairs that size with a large catch radius, giving Ohio State a true outside target who can win above defenders and finish contested catches. A significant portion of his production at powerhouse Mater Dei in California came on downfield throws and tight coverage situations, where his length and ball skills allowed him to turn difficult chances into completions.
Boyd enrolled at Ohio State after becoming his high school’s all-time leading receiver, breaking records that had stood for two decades. But he was the 25th-highest rated signee in Ohio State’s 29-man high school recruiting class. By recruiting metrics alone, he had no business being in this conversation.
But he is.
Whether that translates into significant production remains to be seen. But the early evaluations suggest both may already be closer to the field than Ohio State freshmen at the position typically are.

Jun 17, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (17) throws during the first inning against the Tampa Bay Rays at Dodger Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images Freddie Freeman hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the sixth inning and Shohei Ohtani pitched through a bloody blister to earn his seventh win as the Los Angeles Dodgers finished off a series sweep with a 5-4 victory over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday.
Alex Call, Alex Freeland and Kyle Tucker drove in runs as the Dodgers improved to 12-2 at home since May 13.
Freeman’s home run in the sixth off Kevin Kelly (4-3) followed an Andy Pages double. The long ball was No. 12 of the season for Freeman. Ohtani (7-2) gave up four runs on seven hits over six innings with one walk and five strikeouts.
Yandy Diaz had two hits and an RBI for the Rays, who struggled to a 1-5 record in a six-game road trip to the Los Angeles area that included a three-game weekend series against the Angels.
Rays left-hander Shane McClanahan gave up two runs on three hits over 3 2/3 innings as he struggled with his command and walked five. He also fanned three.
The Dodgers took a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning on RBI singles from Call and Freeland. When Tommy Edman walked following Freeland’s single, McClanahan was replaced by Casey Legumina after throwing 83 pitches.
The Rays answered by sending nine batters to the plate in the fifth against Ohtani. Victor Mesa Jr. led off with a walk, Hunter Feduccia doubled and Taylor Walls followed with a sacrifice fly for a run.
Diaz added an RBI single that was followed by singles from Jonathan Aranda and Cedric Mullins, loading the bases. Junior Caminero’s ground ball drove in Diaz to give Tampa Bay a 3-2 lead. The Rays scored one more time in the inning on a single from Richie Palacios. The Dodgers got within 4-3 when Tucker walked with the bases loaded in the fifth, setting the stage for Freeman’s go-ahead homer an inning later.
Dodgers left-hander Alex Vesia pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning for his third save.
Ohtani was not used as the designated hitter in the game but had an at-bat as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and grounded out. Ohtani took his regular turn on the mound despite dealing with left knee inflammation following his most recent start last week at Pittsburgh.

There can be no silver lining for those who lost Jose Ramirez to a fractured hamate bone over the weekend. Their first-round pick is now out for more than a month, and no matter how shallow the league, there’s no accounting for that loss.
Worse yet, the injury comes only two weeks after consensus best player in Fantasy Aaron Judge was lost to a stress fracture in his rib and a week after Ronald Acuna’s hamstring put him out of commission again. Between those three and Oneil Cruz (fractured hand), the IL is as abounding in star power as it’s been all year.
Those of us who’ve managed to dodge those bullets can indeed see a silver lining, though, and it’s that Hunter Brown at long last returned from a shoulder strain Tuesday. The undisputed Fantasy ace made only two starts before landing on the IL in early April.
Some others who have returned this week include Cal Raleigh (strained oblique), Yainer Diaz (strained oblique), J.P. Crawford (bruised hand), Kodai Senga (lumbar spine inflammation) and Casey Mize (strained adductor). The list is actually shrinking faster than it’s growing, but it doesn’t feel that way with so many high draft picks having succumbed to injury.
I’ll remind you once again that the order here is more about how impactful the player will be when healthy than how close he is to returning, though both factors carry some weight.
Also really difficult to drop
Still a priority on some level
Stashing is purely a luxury
The details surrounding Moses Itauma‘s highly-anticipated return to the ring have finally been revealed.
While Oleksandr Usyk may be the current king of the heavyweights, Itauma is viewed as the future of the division, having won all 14 of his professional fights to date, 12 of them coming by knockout.
After gaining prominence with stoppage wins over the likes of Dillian Whyte, Demsey McKean and Mariusz Wach, he picked up the biggest win of his career so far back in March when he knocked out Jermaine Franklin inside five rounds at the Co-Op Live in Manchester.
Following that victory, attention quickly then turned to who the 21-year-old would face next as he continues his journey towards a world title shot in the near future.
The long-rumoured opponent was Filip Hrgovic, and it has now been reported by Sky Sports that he will indeed take on the Croatian, with the fight understood to take place on August 29 at London’s O2 Arena.
Hrgovic has won 20 of his 21 professional fights, with his only blemish coming when he was beaten by Daniel Dubois back in June 2024.
He has defeated a trio of Brits since that loss, claiming points wins over both Joe Joyce and David Adeleye, before a third round stoppage victory over Dave Allen at the Eco-Power Stadium in Doncaster in May.
That has now led to the clash with Itauma, and Allen himself has revealed his prediction for the contest having felt what it was like to share the ring with ‘El Animal.’
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. – The USGA expected heavy wind and possible storms Thursday at the 126th U.S. Open.
But it was something else that caused a stoppage of play early in the opening round: Fog.
Officials suspended play at 7:05 a.m. ET after fog blanked Shinnecock. When the horn sounded, only 12 players had completed a hole.

Players were being held in place for 15 minutes in hopes of the visibility improving.
Even before the stoppage, it figured to be a long and chaotic day at the national championship, with officials bracing for possible storms and wind gusts approaching 40 mph.
The setup staff, concerned about the course becoming unplayable, had already slowed down the green speeds and modified hole locations.

Spanish media reaction on Marcus Rashford speaks volumes for Man United after Barcelona decision
Marcus Rashford enjoyed a scoring cameo from the bench as England beat Croatia, and the future of the forward is under scrutiny following a year on loan at Barcelona
England’s World Cup win against Croatia gave the Spanish media plenty to chew on when it came to Marcus Rashford and Anthony Gordon. Barcelona had Rashford on loan from Manchester United last season but opted to let their option for a permanent move expire after spending big on his Three Lions team-mate Gordon.
The pair had a mixed start to their respective World Cup campaigns. Gordon started against Croatia but failed to fully leave his mark on the game, while Rashford impressed in a cameo from the bench and scored a late clincher in a 4-2 victory.
This didn’t escape the attention of newspapers across Spain. If there weren’t already questions about whether Barca signed the right Englishman, there are now.

After the Catalan club’s decision, Manchester United could find themselves in line for more money or a chance to get the best out of their player this season. Here’s what the Spanish media said.
Sport
Sport pointed out that Rashford’s fine start was in contrast to most of the Barcelona players at this summer’s World Cup. “The Manchester United loanee was the only Barcelona player to make a difference, scoring a goal to seal a 4-2 victory for England against Croatia,” they wrote.
Elsewhere there were some positive signs from Frenkie de Jong for the Netherlands while Sport didn’t criticise Gordon for his part in England’s win but there was a sense of their being more to come from the Barca contingent. “Although none of them lost in their World Cup debut, the first day was not brilliant for Hansi Flick’s boys, who will be looking to increase their prominence in the second round,” they added.
MisterChip
Stats-led account MisterChip pointed out quite how momentous an occasion Wednesday night was. “He becomes the first FC Barcelona player to score in the 2026 World Cup. He is also the FIRST Barca player to score for England in the entire history of the World Cup,” they wrote of Rashford.
A number of comments questioned the post, suggesting Rashford was a Barcelona player in name only after the failure to exercise the clause. For those wondering, by the way, Gary Lineker joined Barcelona in the 1986 close-season but didn’t play for the club until after his World Cup goals for England, perhaps explaining the wording of the post.
AS
There was a closer comparison between Gordon and Rashford in AS’ write-up. “[The situation] allowed Tuchel to rotate: Gordon, who was ineffective, was out; Rashford came in,” the report said.
“The new Barcelona signing didn’t stand out, neither for better nor for worse. He still has time for that. In his debut, with so many eyes on him, he couldn’t show his full potential. Not so [Rashford]. From a Saka pass, and with two cuts in the box, he finished the game with the fourth and final goal.”
The same publication was particularly glowing in its assessment of another Spain-based star, Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham. “The heir becomes king” was their headline, pointing to the way Bellingham outshone former Madrid star Luka Modric on the night.

New Delhi: Major League Cricket (MLC) returns for its fourth season on June 18 with Texas Super Kings taking on Seattle Orcas at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, Texas. It will be the venue for the first seven games of the 34-match competition before it moves to the Oakland Coliseum in California and the Knight Riders Cricket Field in Pomona, California.The Knight Riders Cricket Field is one of the two biggest ‘what’s new’ elements to MLC 2026. It will act as the home base of the LA Knight Riders franchise, allocated seven matches in total. After its christening during the MLC, its capacity will be expanded for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. With LAKR taking on Washington Freedom on July 1, it will be a big moment for cricket in the USA. It will be the first time Los Angeles will host a top-level cricket match.“Bringing Major League Cricket to Los Angeles is a huge milestone for our league and for the growth of cricket across the United States,” said Johnny Grave, CEO of MLC about a week’s cricket festivities in southern California.“The Pomona Fairgrounds will be the future home of Olympic cricket in 2028, and we’re thrilled to give fans in Southern California their first taste of the sport at this well-known venue that is home to the LA County Fair.”

The second ‘what’s new’ for MLC 2026 is R Ashwin who will play for the San Francisco Unicorns.The 39-year-old is poised to become the first ex-India international to play in the MLC. It will also be the spinner’s first appearance in a foreign league. He was signed up to play in the Big Bash League but an untimely injury took that opportunity away from him.Now, he is set to dazzle at the Oakland Coliseum, the home base of the Unicorns. It will be his first competitive fixture since playing in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) in July 2025.“When I was interested in playing outside of India, when I retired, Anand (Rajaraman) and Venky (Harinarayan) [team co-owners] were the first people to reach out. They were very excited about me getting here,” said Ashwin in a video posted by the franchise. “I’m mostly excited because this is not one country where you play a lot of cricket. Even though I have played for a couple of decades, didn’t really get a chance to come around and experience America. I was here a couple of months ago. I played a bit of an exhibition game in the same venue. It’s very different, even for me. Even though I have played cricket for a long time, to get in, blend in with these people… Look forward to it,” he added.Elsewhere, the veterans and familiar faces return. Steve Smith, who led the Freedom to the title in 2024, is back and takes over the leadership duties from Glenn Maxwell. Jason Holder, Nicholas Pooran, Faf du Plessis and Matt Short have all been retained as captains by LA Knight Riders, defending champions MI New York, Texas Super Kings and Unicorns, respectively.Seattle Orcas, meanwhile, have decided to switch things around after missing the playoffs for two straight seasons, including just three wins in 10 matches last time around. Marcus Stoinis will lead the team in the upcoming season with Adam Voges coming in as the coach.

Defending champions MI New York are once again top contenders if their squad is any indication. Besides skipper Pooran, who did have a horrid season with the Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL, the two-time champions have Kieron Pollard, Quinton de Kock, Ryan Rickelton, Trent Boult, Corbin Bosch, Romario Shepherd, Allah Ghazanfar and Corey Anderson in their midst.Pollard is on the cusp of glory and milestones in MLC 2026. The 39-year-old needs just 81 runs to eclipse Chris Gayle as the all-time highest scorer in T20s. Alex Hales, part of the LAKR, is 33 runs adrift of Pollard.As with most T20 leagues, there’s the question mark over player availability as competitions clash. But MLC finds itself in a largely favourable position with the Hundred not starting until later. The T20 Blast in England does overlap, as does Lanka Premier League at the fag end with EUT20 Belgium closing out just as the MLC begins.

These arrangements could change plans for AM Ghazanfar (MINY), Romario Shepherd (MINY), Mark Chapman (Freedom), Nikhil Chaudhary (Freedom), Rachin Ravindra (Freedom), Xavier Bartlett (Unicorns), Aaron Hardie (Unicorns), Peter Siddle (Unicorns) and Shimron Hetmyer (Orcas) among others.
Jun 17, 2026; Cumberland, Georgia, USA; San Francisco Giants designated hitter Bryce Eldridge (8) celebrates a home run against the Atlanta Braves during the second inning at Truist Park. Mandatory Credit: Jordan Godfree-Imagn Images Luis Arraez homered and drove in four runs and Carson Whisenhunt tossed five solid innings in his season debut on Wednesday to help the visiting San Francisco Giants post a 7-5 victory over the Atlanta Braves.
Whisenhunt (1-0) allowed two runs on six hits while striking out two and walking two after being called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday morning. Willy Adames and Bryce Eldridge hit solo home runs for the Giants, who won 7-2 in the completion of a suspended game earlier in the day and won their third straight overall.
J.R. Ritchie (1-2) threw five innings of five-hit, five-run ball, striking out four and walking three for the scuffling Braves, who dropped their sixth game in seven tries. Carlos Carrasco allowed two runs across four innings in relief.
After Arraez began the first inning with a walk, Rafael Devers drove in the Giants’ first run with a two-out double.
Atlanta threatened in the bottom of the first, as Mauricio Dubon began the frame with a walk and Ozzie Albies laced a two-out single. After Whisenhunt’s wild pitch advanced both runners, Austin Riley’s fly out to center ended the inning.
Adames began the second with his 13th homer of the season to double the Giants’ lead. Four batters later, Arraez connected on a two-run shot to give the visitors a 4-0 lead.
San Francisco continued the onslaught as Eldridge launched another homer to push the margin to five.
In the sixth, Matt Olson, Albies and Riley each singled to cut the Braves’ deficit to 5-1. JT Brubaker then relieved Whisenhunt. Two batters later, Dominic Smith’s sacrifice fly made it 5-2.
Olson singled off Sam Hentges to begin the eighth. Ryan Walker then entered in relief and struck out Albies. Riley singled to bring the tying run to the plate.
From there, Eli White flied out and Rowdy Tellez struck out to leave the margin at three.
Casey Schmitt singled and Drew Gilbert was hit by a pitch in the ninth. Two batters later, Arraez drove in both runners with a single to give the Giants a 7-2 lead. In the bottom of the ninth, Matt Gage allowed Jair Camargo’s one-out double and Dubon’s two-run homer, pulling the Braves within three. After Drake Baldwin and Olson both singled, Gage was replaced by Tristan Beck.
A wild pitch then cut the Giants lead to two, but Beck retired Albies and got Riley to strike out to end the game.

A WWE star recently fell off the top rope in a scary bitch during a singles match. The incident raised a lot of concern at ringside regarding a potential injury to the star. The person in question is none other than EVOLVE’s Anya Rune who has gathered a lot of attention over the last few months due to her Anime-inspired gimmick.
The Stamford-based company has been trying to build their next generation of stars organically under their own developmental promotions. With the acquisition of EVOLVE, the company has been trying to create new stars by scouting young college talent and repackaging them with modern gimmicks. The Japanese anime culture has been on the rise globally over the last few years and WWE decided to capitalise on this.
Thanks for the submission!
Anya Rune made her EVOLVE debut as the Anime Girl back in March in a Fatal 4-Way Qualifying match for the EVOLVE Women’s Championship. While she failed to win the match, she continues to appear on the show spontaneously. She recently faced Zena Sterling in a singles match on the show where she tried to attempt a move from the top rope. However, she wasn’t able to hit the move as she slipped from the top rope.
The Anime Girl decided to give it another shot but failed again. Sterling hit her with a Sideslam to pick up the win in the match. People at ringside and commentary were concerned about Rune and were hoping she hadn’t injured herself. Before taking her first leap from the top rope, the Anime Girl said this:
“In the name of UWU, this anime girl is going to FLY.”
A lot of people criticised the gimmick when it debuted and are now even more concerned about Anya Rune’s in-ring performance. Fans are curious to see what is next for her in WWE.
A lot of WWE stars have been getting injured lately
While WWE has been getting a lot of momentum following WrestleMania, a lot of their stars are on the shelf due to injury. The list includes major names like Kevin Owens, Randy Orton, Bronson Reed and Logan Paul. Owens has been away from in-ring competition ever since he suffered a neck injury last year and had to miss WrestleMania.
Orton suffered a back injury during his match against Cody Rhodes in the main event of WrestleMania 42 Saturday. Bronson Reed got injured earlier in the year during a match on WWE RAW. Logan Paul tore his tricep a few weeks ago at Saturday Night’s Main Event during a tag team title defense against the Street Profits.
Fans across the world are hoping that all these WWE stars get healed and make their return to the squared circle soon.
