Vaibhav Sooryavanshi's dazzling performances against Zimbabwe have earned widespread praise, but stand-in India head coach VVS Laxman believes the teenage sensation still has an important area to develop if he is to fulfil his enormous potential. The 15-year-old capped off an outstanding series with a brilliant 81 off 49 balls in the third T20I in Harare, guiding India to a 35-run victory and a 3-0 clean sweep. His 151 runs across three matches made him the leading run-scorer of the series and earned him his first Player of the Series award. While Sooryavanshi's fearless stroke play has already made him one of India's brightest young prospects, Laxman said improving his overall fitness would be crucial for the youngster's long-term growth. "The one area we want him to improve is his overall fitness," Laxman said. The former India batter also highlighted Sooryavanshi's commitment and desire to contribute to the team, pointing to an incident during the third T20I when the teenager wanted to continue despite suffering an injury while attempting a diving catch at deep square leg. "He's a very young boy. He himself wants to get better in every aspect of the game. Even today, when he got injured (while attempting a diving catch running in from deep square leg), he still wanted to stay on the field. It was our physio who asked him to come off. That's the eagerness and earnestness he has to contribute in every possible way to the team," he added. Laxman has closely monitored Sooryavanshi's development over the past year through his role as the BCCI's Head of Cricket. The youngster flourished under his guidance during India's victorious ICC Men's Under-19 Cricket World Cup campaign earlier this year, finishing as the tournament's highest run-scorer with 439 runs and being named Player of the Tournament. The Zimbabwe series was another significant step in Sooryavanshi's rapid rise. Having already impressed during his two seasons with the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, the left-handed opener once again showcased his ability on the international stage, underlining why he is regarded as one of the country's most exciting batting talents. Despite the accolades, Laxman's message was clear: refining his fitness levels will be a vital part of Sooryavanshi's journey as he looks to build on an already impressive start to his career.

Roma reach 35m Castro agreement with BolognaGian Piero Gasperini could finally be on the verge of welcoming a new attacking signing this summer, as reports in Italy claim that Roma and Bologna have reached an agreement over a deal for centre-forward Santiago Castro.Roma agree deal for Castro with BolognaAccording to the latest updates from transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Roma and Bologna have agreed a fee for Argentine centre-forward Castro, set at 35m plus a 10% sell-on clause.ROME, ITALY MARCH 19: Santiago Castro of Bologna is challenged by Manu Kone of AS Roma during the UEFA Europa League 2025/26 Round of 16 Second Leg match at Stadio Olimpico on March 19, 2026 in Rome, Italy.

Looking Back and then Forward on the Defensive Second LevelClemson welcomed Tom Allen as its new defensive coordinator ahead of the 2025 season. Allen also brought along his son Thomas Allen, Jr. and Dabo Swinney elevated Ben Boulware to lead the position group. A drop-off after losing Brent Venables to Oklahoma was probably inevitable, but while successor Wes Goodwin brought all the X&O know how from the Venables system, he failed to bring the leadership and in game feel his mentor so remarkably possessed. Coach V left the LB room well-stocked upon his departure, with future NFL draft picks Trenton Simpson, Jeremiah Trotter, Jr., and Barrett Carter all in the fold just to name a few. Unfortunately, the LB position experienced a decline since, especially in 2024 when the Clemson defense got routinely gashed in the run game due to bad run fits and tackling.2025 wasnt a season anyone supporting Clemson wanted to see. It is hard to find a more disappointing year from preseason expectation to what transpired. 2008 comes to mind, and that obviously was when the change from Coach Bowden to Coach Swinney took place. I will say that linebacker play was better and certainly was an area that showed improvement as the season progressed under the Allens and Coach Boulware. The LSU game began with a missed tackle by Wade Woodaz that turned a potential TFL into a first down gain, but by the South Carolina game, we saw Woodaz make a huge tackle in space against the ever dangerous LaNorris Sellers to prevent an explosive run. Woodaz was playing by far the best football of his career down the stretch and unfortunately was not available for the bowl game.Sammy Brown took a big step in his first season as a full time starter. This was refreshing after we saw guys like Trenton Simpson and Barrett Carter not show much development after big first years in the program. Brown put together an All-ACC season and should be poised for even more in 2026 as the unquestioned alpha of the defense. I noted this about Brown in my position preview back in the fall: My hope for Brown is he can become an even more athletic version of Jeremiah Trotter, Jr. Trotter had outstanding instincts and football IQ, and those two things matched with Browns superior measurables would be scary for any opposing offense.Trotter Jr.s first full year starting: 678 snaps, 74 solo tackles, 13.5 TFLs, 6.5 sacks, 6 PBUsBrowns first full year starting: 734 snaps, 68 solo tackles, 13.5 TFLs, 5 sacks, 7 PBUsAs you can see above, Brown was almost identical in production across the board with Trotter. Hopefully Brown can be even better in 2026 just as Trotter was even better in his final season of 2023 before leaving early for the NFL draft.Perhaps the biggest story of the spring for the linebacker corps is less who is there and more about who isnt, namely notorious Luke Ferrelli who was supposed to be the guy to take Wade Woodazs place before Ole Miss bought him. Now Kobe McCloud becomes an essential piece as he brings the most experience and production next to Brown. Jeremiah Alexander was one of the three transfers brought in ahead of 2025 and provided 220 snaps largely as a run stop specialist. Alexander was not nearly as effective as a coverage option and his ability to improve in those areas are going to be a vital thing to how much he can increase his role. The pressure on that to happen grew with the loss of Ferrelli, whereas it would have been more of a luxury item otherwise. Alexander has drawn heavy praise for his work ethic so there is certainly hope he can make those gains. He also was a five-star coming out of high school and that speaks to possessing legit physical ability, albeit he has moved around position wise in his career to date.Backups Dee Crayton and Jamal Anderson, Jr. transferred out, so after McCloud and Alexander there are precious few snaps played among the other returning backups. In fact, Fletcher Cothran, Drew Woodaz, and C.J. Kubah-Taylor combined for 39 total non-special teams snaps last season. Most of that was from Cothran in the bowl game when Clemson was missing three players to injury and/or transfer.The good news about McCloud is he consistently grades well and is productive. The bad news is he cant help that he lacks elite measurables that would probably lead to more splash plays. That is where Ferrelli was supposed to provide a boost. Alexander projects more as an option for 4-3 Over fronts defensively that would feature a bigger SAM, but those are not used nearly as much against the 11 personnel group that is so often seen in modern college football. I expected Sammy Brown to have a very light load in the spring considering his value and that he is a proven commodity. However it appeared he got regular work and we saw him in the spring game (and heard Dabo chew him out for penalty over the PA system to boot). The group was healthy enough to get much needed work for all the others fighting for that open starting position and increased responsibilities behind Brown. Clemson signed Brayden Reilly but he is not among the early enrollees who will participate in spring practice.Coach Boulware gave me some hope in that he can get improvement and production out of his position group, but now he has to show what he can do with largely unproven players beyond star Sammy Brown. His former position coach Brent Venables was a master at getting strong play out of less than household names like Spencer Shuey, J.D. Davis, Kendall Joseph, and James Skalski. Now, Boulware has that challenge. It would also be a huge help if the other position groups can make improvements to support this second level because that increases the margin of error.The offense is probably going to garner the most spotlight considering the system change with Chad Morriss return, but Ill be closely watching how the linebacker position battle plays out and certainly will be keeping my fingers crossed for good health. Sammy Brown may be close to the very top for the player Clemson can least afford to lose this season. The depth chart entering the fall projects this way:MLB: Sammy Brown, Jeremiah AlexanderWILL: Kobe McCloud, (Sammy Brown should McCloud get hurt), Fletcher CothranLogan Anderson, Drew Woodaz, CJ Kubah-Taylor, and Brayden Reilly will be looking to crack the 2 deep behind those initial names. Tom Allens system rarely features a traditional SAM linebacker, choosing to instead employ a nickel corner/safety type for more of a 4-2-5 base defense. It is more likely he puts a safety like Polo Anderson out there before a linebacker if he goes away from one of the Corian Gipson, Tink Kelley, Donovan Starr trio that projects to get the most action there. I certainly think that contributed to the departure of Jamal Anderson, Jr. who was more like the old school SAM types Clemson had used in the past with the 4-3 defense. Clemson should field a better defense in terms of execution in year 2 of the Allen system coupled with an upgrade in personnel in the secondary. A lot will depend on the mostly unproven interior DL doing enough to keep Sammy Brown clean to be the difference maker he can be. Weve seen some elite linebacker play elevate a Clemson defense before and if the Tigers are truly going to take a significant step forward from last year, the stars of the team have to deliver like stars which simply didnt happen nearly enough in 2025. I fully expect to see Brown play both MLB and WLB depending on the situation, and he could easily hit 800 snaps or more as a result.
