The 2026 NFL Combine runs from February 26 through March 1, and we’ll have you covered with both up-to-date and historical coverage.

Here’s a look at previous bench press results for former players from schools in the West.

You may also be interested in the historical vertical jump marks and 40-yard dash times.

The bench press is one of the first drills that participants typically go through at the NFL Combine.

In addition to testing a prospect’s strength, it gives scouts an indication of their cardio fitness and endurance.

These attributes measure a player’s ability to withstand the rigors of NFL weight-lifting and fitness programs.

The bench press weight is standardized at 225 pounds, consisting of four 45-pound metal plates and a 45-pound bar, subject to the following NFL rules:

1) The participant lies flat on his back on the bench.

2) Hands must be positioned shoulder-width apart on the barbell.

3) The goal of the drill is to press as many times as possible.

4) When pressing, the participant must keep his hips on the bench and touch his chest slightly with the bar without bouncing it off the trunk. Arching the back and bouncing the weight causes rep nullification.

The average NFL prospect has little trouble benching 225 pounds, but the exercise becomes much more difficult with increasing reps.

Naturally, more reps tend to improve draft stock, especially for offensive and defensive linemen, but the NFL has a baseline for different players by their position on the gridiron.

Here are the bench press baselines:

– Defensive backs and receivers: 15-20 reps
– Running backs: 20-25 reps
– Tight ends and linebackers: 25-30 reps
– Linemen: 30-39 reps

The best mark by a player from the region is held by Oregon State’s Stephen Paea with 49 reps in 2011. He is also recognized as the all-time Combine record-holder.

(Justin Ernest logged 51 reps in 1999, but the NFL changed equipment in 2006, and some Combine performances before then are looked upon in a different light.)

The second-best Pac-12 performer is Stanford’s Harrison Phillips with 42 reps in 2018. Oregon’s Igor Olshansky (2004) and Washington’s Vita Vea (2018) are tied for third and fourth with 41 reps.

Below we’ve compiled the bench press reps for every SuperWest player that has participated in the NFL Combine since 2000, along with their position, school, and the year they participated, in a searchable, sortable table.

Since the Combine wasn’t held in 2021 due to the pandemic, we’ve included the team pr0-day drill results for that year instead.

Maple Leafs fall to Hurricanes in overtime

Published

Eric Robinson, on a penalty shot, K’Andre Miller and Jordan Staal had the other goals for Carolina (44-19-6). Brandon Bussi made 23 saves. Seth Jarvis and Sebastian Aho had two assists apiece.

John Tavares, William Nylander and Dakota Joshua replied for Toronto (29-28-13), which got 32 stops from Joseph Woll. Matias Maccelli added two assists.

Nikishin scored the winner in the extra period when he ripped a shot beyond Woll’s blocker.

The Metropolitan Division-leading Hurricanes entered Friday third in the NHL’s overall standings and first in the Eastern Conference.

The severely underperforming Maple Leafs, meanwhile, sat 26th out of 32 teams, second-last in the East and at the bottom of the Atlantic Division.

Hurricanes: Aho became the third player to hit at least 70 points in five seasons with the Hurricanes/Hartford Whalers. Ron Francis (11) and Eric Staal (seven) top the list.

Maple Leafs: Auston Matthews underwent surgery on his left MCL in New York on Thursday. Toronto’s captain was injured last week after taking a knee-on-knee hit from Anaheim Ducks defenceman Radko Gudas. The Maple Leafs said the recovery time for Matthews is expected to be 12 weeks.

Robinson scored on a second-period penalty shot after being hooked on a breakaway by Maple Leafs defenceman Troy Stecher. The Carolina winger moved in on Woll as a sleepy Scotiabank Arena came to life, and fired his 12th goal of the campaign past the netminder’s glove.

Benoit-Olivier Groulx picked up an assist on the opening goal to give him a point in three straight home games since joining Toronto. Five other players in the past 20 years have had a run of at least that length to start their time with the Original Six franchise: Eric Lindros (six games in 2005-06), Mike Van Ryn (five games in 2008-09), Ron Hainsey (four games in 2017-18), Michael Bunting (three games in 2021-22) and Nikita Zaitsev (three games in 2016-17).

Maple Leafs: Visit the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.

Hurricanes: Visit the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday.

Michael Conlan announces retirement from boxing after controversial Belfast defeat

Michael Conlan has announced his retirement from boxing following his loss to Kevin Walsh.

Conlan suffered a controversial upset defeat to Walsh at the SSE Arena in Belfast on Friday, and that has prompted the Irishman to hang up his gloves for the final time.

Speaking to the media following the loss to Walsh, Conlan explained his decision to retire.

“In this last run, it was only for me. That’s why I have no shame in saying that’s enough. I did it for me and my family trying to reach the goal of being world champion. It’s not meant to be. That’s it.
“It doesn’t matter what way I was going to lose. If it was wide, if it was a robbery, it wasn’t enough to win clearly, so it’s enough to say goodbye.
“The last defeat before this one I’d have been kicking myself saying I should have given it another go, the fact that I did come back and try. That was the third time I’ve come back, god loves a trier. Hope he loves me.
“I want to say thank you to every single person. I’ve fought all around the world, New York, Vegas, Australia, England, Ireland. I always have had a great following and always stuck by me, even through defeats they’ve stuck by me. The appreciation goes beyond.”

The 34-year-old was an elite amateur, becoming Ireland’s first ever male World Amateur Champion, whilst also claiming a bronze medal at the 2012 Olympics in London.

After turning professional with an extremely loyal fan base behind him, Conlan would challenge for world honours on two occasions, and ends with a final record of 20 wins from 24 fights.

Ronaldo Pays Emotional Tribute to Late Father on Father’s Day

Cristiano Ronaldo has honoured his late father, Jose Dinis Aveiro, with a touching message to mark Father’s Day, reflecting on the lasting influence of his dad on his life and career.

Aveiro, who worked as a kit man at local club Andorinha, played a key role in Ronaldo’s early development in football. However, he passed away in 2005 due to liver failure when Ronaldo was just 20 years old and still in the early stages of his career at Manchester United.

To mark the occasion, the Al-Nassr forward shared a series of photos on Instagram, including a family picture with his children and a throwback image of himself with his father. In his caption, Ronaldo wrote, “Where I come from and who I live for. Happy Father’s Day,” alongside a heart emoji.

Despite his rise to global stardom, Ronaldo has often spoken about his difficult relationship with his father, who struggled with alcoholism. In a past interview with Piers Morgan, he admitted, “I never spoke with him, like a normal conversation. It was hard,” adding that he “didn’t know his father 100 per cent.”

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner also revealed that he has avoided cemeteries since his father’s death, explaining his absence from the funeral of a teammate’s father in recent years.

Ronaldo also recalled the support he received from his former manager Sir Alex Ferguson during that difficult period. He said, “My father was in hospital, and I was so emotional, very low. I spoke with him and he said: ‘Cristiano, go there for two or three days.’ We had difficult games coming up and I was a key player.

“He said: ‘It will be tough… but I understand your situation and I’ll leave you out and you can go and see your father.’”

Now playing for Al Nassr FC, Ronaldo continues to reflect on his humble beginnings, with his Father’s Day message serving as a reminder of the deep personal experiences that have shaped his journey.

2026 March Madness picks: Predictions against the spread, odds for second-round games Saturday

Published

36 minutes ago

21 March 2026

NewsAdmin

When the sun rises on Saturday, the 2026 NCAA Tournament field will be cut in half. The 32 teams that make it to the weekend all enter into the “championship game” of their respective two-game tournaments, with a spot in the Sweet 16 serving as the prize. They don’t cut down nets for this round, but teams certainly understand the importance of that weekend win and extending their stay in the Big Dance.

For some, the March Madness experience might be tampered by a busted bracket or a bad pick in your Bracket Games. Luckily, the tournament always provides many ways to predict how things play out, and here in the Expert Picks corner, we have found a couple of unique angles to spotlight from Saturday’s slate.

Saturday’s schedule includes No. 11 seed VCU and No. 12 seed High Point, both upset winners in thrilling fashion from Thursday’s First Round. The ultimate test for any of these potential Cinderellas is always following up with a win on the weekend, and while the Rams and Panthers are incredible stories, the teams they face (No. 3 seed Illinois, No. 4 seed Arkansas) are an even tougher test. The Fighting Illini and Razorbacks are part of a group of top four seeds that went 8-0 on Thursday, as it was the mid-bracket chaos that really led the way.

No. 1 overall seed Duke will be back in action after surviving an upset scare from No. 16 seed Siena. The Blue Devils will square off against No. 9 seed TCU, while fellow No. 1 Michigan will get the day started against a high-octane Saint Louis squad that dominated Georgia in the 8-9 game in the Midwest Region on Thursday night. There’s also a fascinating pair of games in Oklahoma City, first with a Texas tangle between No. 2 Houston and No. 10 Texas A&M and then No. 4 Nebraska will be looking for its second-ever NCAA Tournament win in a fascinating clash with No. 4 Vanderbilt.

It’s an eight-game slate that will take fans from Noon ET to Midnight. Among those, we have spotlighted a few of our favorite picks below. If you prefer a more traditional straight-up or against-the-spread selection, we have included those as well, via the CBS Sports expert panel.

(3) Michigan State vs. (6) Louisville

2:45 p.m. on CBS | March Madness Live

Michigan State is not typically an up-tempo team, but it generates offense by capitalizing on transition opportunities. With Louisville pushing the pace and getting shots up quickly, this matchup should feature more possessions — and, in turn, more chances for the Spartans to find easy points.

Michigan State’s defense also slipped late in the regular season, contributing to the over hitting in nine of its last 11 games. The Spartans have played faster in recent weeks than their season-long profile suggests, and in this matchup, pushing the pace before Louisville’s defense gets set could make them especially advantageous. Pick: Over 151

(1) Duke vs. (9) TCU

5:15 p.m. on CBS | March Madness Live

TCU should be able to bring the fight to Duke early, using the same pressure and physicality that produced wins over Iowa State and Texas Tech in the regular season and helped eliminate Ohio State in the first round.

The concern for the Horned Frogs is foul trouble. That physical style can lead to quick whistles, and Duke star Cam Boozer excels at playing through contact and generating points at the free-throw line. It’s also unlikely the Blue Devils will shoot as poorly from 3-point range as they did against Siena (5 for 26), so positive regression should help the No. 1 overall seed advance from Greenville — perhaps with a few new nightmares, but with its title hopes intact. Pick: Duke -11.5

(3) Gonzaga vs. (11) Texas

7:10 p.m. on TBS | March Madness Live

Gonzaga’s late-night performance Thursday was less than inspiring. The Zags took 10 minutes to reach double digits, missing 11 of their first 15 shots. Though they ultimately won by nine, they failed to cover as 18-point favorites.

Texas, meanwhile, enters with momentum after a pair of wins that have the Longhorns exceeding expectations by reaching the second round. Sean Miller has a strong track record in the Round of 32, and Matas Vokietaitis‘ first-round showing suggests Texas’ versatile big man is in form ahead of a matchup with WCC Player of the Year Graham Ike.

The Longhorns have a legitimate chance to win outright, making them a compelling play to cover the spread.Pick: Texas +6.5

(3) Illinois vs. (11) VCU

7:50 p.m. on CBS | March Madness Live

Illinois has met expectations when heavily favored this season. Coach Brad Underwood is 4-0 against the spread as a double-digit favorite in the NCAA Tournament.

While history doesn’t favor double-digit seeds following up a big upset, this pick isn’t about fading VCU after its dramatic comeback. It’s more of a nod to how Illinois handles these situations. The Rams will face a different caliber of backcourt pressure against Keaton Wagler and Kylan Boswell, and Illinois has enough shooters to punish teams that can’t slow or stop the ball.

Illinois wins with size and shooting that most opponents can’t match, and when the team presses, it can snowball quickly. Expect a similar dynamic in the nightcap in Greenville. Pick: Illinois -10.5

(4) Nebraska vs. (5) Vanderbilt

8:45 p.m. on TNT | March Madness Live

It hardly felt like a neutral site in Oklahoma City as “Go Big Red” chants echoed through a red-clad Paycom Center for Nebraska’s first-ever NCAA Tournament win. The victory was methodical, and I don’t expect much of an emotional hangover for the Cornhuskers, who were in rhythm offensively and drained 14 three-pointers.

The key will be defense, though, especially after Tyler Tanner expertly guided Vanderbilt through McNeese’s defensive pressure to create easy baskets near the rim. This matchup shapes up as a major schematic battle between Fred Hoiberg and Mark Byington, and I wouldn’t be surprised by big swings and lead changes throughout.

At the end of 40 minutes, I expect Nebraska to advance to the Sweet 16, making a couple of points as the underdog a solid value play. Pick: Nebraska +2.5

Tour pro blows rules whistle on himself. Then ‘a bit of good karma’ came

Published

21 March 2026

Only one person, Matt Wallace says, saw him accidentally move his golf ball.

Or so he thought.

The golf gods, remember, see all.

The divine sequence played out Friday during the Valspar Championship’s second round, where Wallace shoved his tee ball right and into the pine straw on the Copperhead Course’s par-5 11th hole. Delicacy was needed. Wallace said his caddie, Jamie Lane, warned him, too. But a wayward twig forced Wallace to hover his club at address, he said, and as he waggled it, his ball relocated.

Uh-oh.

Wallace called for an official. He also said he’d never made his ball before in such a way.

“Didn’t know whether it was in the action of my swing or anything,” he said afterward, “but I definitely touched it, and then the ball moved from that.”

Still, Wallace said no one else saw the violation. At the time, he was also two-over for the tournament and fighting to make the cut. You know the options in front of him. An ethical dilemma played out, at least in a golf sense.

But so be it, Wallace said. And he took his one-stroke penalty.

“You’d hope that everyone’s like that,” Wallace said.

“Yeah. You kind of — you’re not just doing it for yourself though, even though it’s such an individual sport. You’re doing it to protect the rest of the field. You’re doing it for your caddie, your team, your family. I would rather miss the cut doing something like that by one shot, and then giving it my all for the rest, than making it and knowing something’s happened. So I called it on myself.

“And then I made a few birdies.”

Yeah, so about that golf gods thing.

After the penalty, Wallace hit his third shot to the left of the green, chipped on and made a par. “Obviously very much needed at the time,” Wallace said. Then he birdied 14, a par-4, on a 22-foot putt. Then he birdied 15, a par-3, after hitting his tee shot to 6 feet. Then he birdied 17, also a par-3, after rolling in a 27-footer.

And a par on 18, a par-4, gave him a round of three-under 68 and a two-round total of one-under, which was good enough for the weekend.

“Yeah,” Wallace said, “maybe a bit of good karma coming my way.”

You never know who’s watching, after all.

Conlan vs Walsh: Michael Conlan retires from boxing following defeat

Published

1 hour ago

21 March 2026

NewsAdmin

It was a return to Belfast for the first time since his defeat by Jordan Gill in December 2023 which left him with much to ponder in terms of his career.

After a 16-month hiatus, Conlan returned in March 2025 under new coach Grant Smith, producing a points win over Asad Asif Khan in Brighton before stopping Jack Bateson in Dublin six months later.

However, the SSE Arena once again proved to be the scene of one final night of disappointment that has resulted in his decision to retire.

It wasn’t a case of him being completely dominated this time, but there was self-awareness that his performance was not up to a level where he could threaten a standing champion.

Walsh will instead seek his own opportunity and called out WBC featherweight champion Bruce Carrington afterwards.

“It was definitely a close fight,” he told DAZN afterwards.

“Shout out to Mick Conlan – I’ve always been a fan of his but he couldn’t figure me out. He’s been a helluva fighter, but his time’s up.”

Those words rang true with Conlan confirming this is indeed time up.

“Boxing has given me an unbelievable life,” he reflected.

“I can never be bitter with the situation because it gives you so much and takes so much. I’ve always said you can never love the sport as it will never love you back.

“I want to walk away with my health intact and my family good. I’ve done really well in boxing, have reached some serious heights and fought in some serious arenas around the world, done things many fighters don’t get to do.”

He continued: “I’ve achieved an awful lot but have I reached my goal of becoming a world champion? No, and that’s the hardest part of all.

“I’m a stubborn person and would want to keep going, but I’ve missed a lot of my family’s lives. I’ve two kids, my daughter is 11 next week and my son is seven. I’ve missed maybe 65 or 70% of their lives through boxing and training camps, so it’s time to go home.”

‘Tell Tiger he can’t play?’

Published

21 March 2026

In the world of professional golf, which has a long history of operating as a meritocracy in which hand-outs are few and benefits are earned, sponsor exemptions can be a thorny topic — especially since the advent of limited-field, no-cut Signature Events, which boast $20 million purses.

Signature Events now make up a significant portion of the Tour calendar, and breaking into the field can be a difficult prospect. Unless, of course, you’re awarded a sponsor exemption.

At typical PGA Tour events, sponsor exemptions (usually four) are generally awarded to anyone the tournament sponsor deems worthy of entry. That could be a “deserving” pro who is not otherwise qualified for the field, an area local or tour-aspiring amateur, or even a celebrity. PGA Tour Signature Events can also designate four sponsor’s exemptions, but they must be PGA Tour members. Otherwise, there is no set criteria for selection. This stipulation — or perhaps lack thereof — has caused a bit of controversy over the last couple of years. At the 2024 Pebble Beach Pro-Am, players were peeved that three of the four sponsor exemptions — Peter Malnati, Webb Simpson and Adam Scott — were members of the PGA Tour’s board. At the time, Malnati and Simpson’s world ranking was 245 and 225, respectively.

At its core, sponsor exemptions are intended to give a leg up to up-and-comers or a playing opportunity to otherwise deserving pros. There have been many players over the years who have used sponsor’s exemptions as a launchpad for their professional careers, including Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. In October, Michael Brennan won the Bank of Utah Championship as a sponsor exemption in only his third PGA Tour start. President Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump, was given a sponsor exemption into the Annika field last fall, although her inclusion resulted in a barrage of additional media coverage, interest and viewership for the tournament, which is what tournament organizers and sponsors often hope for with these invites.

So which players are most deserving of these coveted exemptions? That conversation is ongoing, with plenty of reasonable arguments on every side. And at this week’s Valspar Championship, two-time major champion Justin Thomas became the latest voice to wade into the fray.

Mark Mulder takes a swing. — Why you should never feel guilty accepting a sponsor’s exemption, according to a star athlete who did

By:

James Colgan

Thomas has been one of the world’s top players for more than a decade, but a slump in 2023 pushed him outside of the FedEx Cup top 70 for the first time in his career, and his World Ranking plummeted outside of the top 30 for several weeks. Suddenly, he said, he found himself on the outside looking in at events for which he had previously been exempt.

“It was extremely stressful,” Thomas said Wednesday in Florida. “But also I’m extremely proud of the fact that I, it was a big deal for me that I didn’t have to rely on one exemption that year. I played my way into all of them. That was a big goal of mine. Because, first off, I hated having to ask, but I did ask. It’s like I’m not shameful or like above that. I mean, I want to be playing in these tournaments. And, you know, the majority of tournaments, they were graceful and saying that, yes, if you need it, we’ll have one. But I didn’t get exemptions into some. So knowing that I needed to play into them was comforting, but also good for me.”

While Thomas expressed pride in his ability to not have to resort to using an exemption to gain entry into the field, he said he can also see both sides of the issue.

“It’s tough, man, because I understand the argument of, you know, giving it to the same guys, whatever. But how are you going to tell the company that’s putting up 15, 20 million dollars that they can’t have someone in the tournament because they feel like it’s better for the ratings and better for their ticket sales and better for the event in general. That’s a hard one for me to — I see both sides a hundred percent on that.

“But I just think that sponsor exemptions are part of — I mean, it’s a massive part,” he continued. “What, are you going to tell Tiger Woods he can’t play if he wants to play? Like, I’m sorry, but you’re an idiot if that’s what you think. Like, he needs to play in whatever he wants to play in, and that’s better for the golf tournament and the game of golf. So it’s a tough one to perfect, but we’re working on it, I guess.”

Luckily for Thomas, his ranking is back to No. 14, and he found his way back to the winner’s circle at last year’s RBC Heritage, a Signature Event.

“The Army-Navy Game represents far more than football. It honors our service academies, highlights the character and commitment of our future leaders and brings Americans together around values that matter deeply, including service and sacrifice.

“This executive order is a positive step for the sport, for our service academies and for the enduring legacy of America’s Game. We are proud to be a part of the team working to protect it.”

Trump signed the order Friday as he presented the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy to the Navy football team in the East Room of the White House. The order directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Department of Commerce to coordinate with relevant parties, including the NCAA, the College Football Playoff (CFP) and broadcast partners, to secure an exclusive broadcast window for the standalone game.

The executive order came amid growing concerns that an expanding College Football Playoff calendar could encroach on the game’s traditional date, which since 2009 has been played exclusively on the second Saturday in December.

The classic rivalry, first played in 1890, has been played annually since 1930 and typically draws 7 million to 8 million viewers, making it one of the highest-rated regular-season games in college football. The current television agreement with CBS Sports runs through 2038.

Trump, who has attended multiple Army-Navy games as president, framed the move in January as an act of patriotism, writing on social media, “Under my Administration, the second Saturday in December belongs to Army-Navy, and ONLY Army-Navy!”

As the postseason structure of college football continues to evolve, this executive order signals a significant commitment by the administration to maintain the standalone grandeur of a matchup defined by the phrase “sing second.”
