SPORTS.YAHOO.COMJonnie Wiltshire returns to practice Saturday as UND sifts through changesAug. 1GRAND FORKS UND's Jonnie Wiltshire returned to football practice Saturday morning for the first time during the Fighting Hawks' fourth day of fall camp.While Wiltshire and teammate Avery Scott await court dates for a possible preliminary injunction regarding a fifth year of eligibility, Fighting Hawks head coach Eric Schmidt is wrestling with the constant changing landscape of legal rulings.On Friday, U.S. District Judge Charlotte Sweeney in Colorado granted a fifth year of NCAA eligibility to all athletes from the high school class of 2022 who exhausted their fourth season of eligibility in the 2025-26 season.The 2022 class was wedged between last year's sweeping NCAA decision to grant a fifth season of eligibility based on the Diego Pavia court case and the future 5-for-5 rule that provides five seasons of eligibility across the board.Wiltshire's return to practice wasn't a result of the Colorado decision. Instead, his ability to practice was tied to his enrollment in graduate school at UND.Scott, meanwhile, is waiting for his enrollment status to finalize.Both Wiltshire and Scott have received temporary restraining orders from the court system, which allows the two to practice prior to court hearings on a possible preliminary injunction."We're still waiting to get Avery in class to practice," Schmidt said. "We have set up an injunction meeting in August, and now with the class-action suit, we're kind of learning as we go here what that means for them too, as well. I think that happens on a Friday afternoon and now you can't get some questions until Monday morning."Schmidt also indicated two other players from UND's 2025 roster would fall into the class-action lawsuit category and have expressed interest in a return."We're just working through what it means, and I think Monday we sit down and talk and find out," Schmidt said. "I think everybody in the country that was talking this morning ... other head coaches in our league ... everyone is trying to figure out the same stuff. Everybody just wants to make sure that if they use these players and something would change later on in the season, that you wouldn't have to forfeit games because you use the players. You want to protect everybody else on the roster. That's a delicate deal we're trying to figure out yet here as we move forward."0 Comments 0 Shares 50 Views 0 Reviews -
SPORTS.YAHOO.COMTexas A&M misses on 2027 5-star RB who commits to rival TexasTexas A&M made a strong, legitimate push down to the wire for fivestar running back Landen WilliamsCallis, but in his live announcement, the Houston standout chose to stay instate with the Texas Longhorns.The decision isnt shocking given A&Ms deep stable of young backs already on the roster, but the Aggies were hoping to land their first running back in the 2027 class. With most of the top targets now off the board, the staff will likely pivot toward two paths. Working to flip a committed prospect closer to signing day or zeroing in on the few remaining unsigned backs. Given the youth in the room, it would be surprising if A&M didnt sign a back in this class, but when a fivestar talent is available, you take your swing. A&M did exactly that.WilliamsCallis enters his senior season chasing history. He is 3,828 yards away from the TXHSFB career rushing record held by Kaegan Ash and 692 yards from the Houston career rushing record set by his cousin, former Oregon State star Jacquizz Rodgers. Hes widely viewed as one of the highestfloor prospects in the 2027 cycle, regardless of position a highmajor impact player with a clear trajectory toward becoming a legitimate pro prospect.For now, A&M will regroup and reassess its board, but WilliamsCallis commitment underscores the level of talent the Aggies are targeting as they build out the future of their offense.BREAKING: Elite 2027 RB Landen Williams-Callis has Committed to Texas, he tells me for @RivalsThe No. 3 RB in the 2027 Rivals300 chose the Longhorns over Texas A&MHes rushed for 7,554 yards and 133 TDs through 3 seasonsIts all Gods plan.https://t.co/oRJ3iSgazNpic.twitter.com/1i1vz4Tj17 Hayes Fawcett (@Hayesfawcett3) August 2, 2026According to 247Sports Composite rankings, Williams-Callis is currently positioned as the 29th-ranked prospect in the cycle, the 3rd-ranked running back, and the 3rd-ranked prospect in Texas.Contact/Follow us@AggiesWireon X and like our page onFacebookto follow ongoing coverage of Texas A&M news, notes, and opinions.

SPORTS.YAHOO.COM5 observations from Day 4 of UND football fall campAug. 1GRAND FORKS The UND football program went through Day 4 of fall camp Saturday morning.Here are five observations from practice.UND redshirt freshman safety Owen Thielges has been the beneficiary of changes at his position in the first few days of fall camp.Thielges was running as a starter opposite Tyler Erkman on Saturday. Avery Dixon, who was in that role, was sitting out with what appears to be a minor injury.A safety who was expected to be in the mix this fall, Jett Sutton, is no longer on the roster.Thielges, who's 6-foot-2 and 195 pounds, is a Moorhead High School product. He played in two games last season, registering three tackles and one for a loss against Valparaiso.At Moorhead, Thielges was the Section 8 Class 5A Defensive Player of the Year. He picked off 11 passes in his career, where he was a three-time all-conference performer.UND sophomore cornerback Grant Noland, who emerged in a starting role a year ago, has continued to be steady at fall camp.On Saturday, he was in perfect position to deny Jerry Kaminski's deep toss to Deng Deng, who had previously made a habit of making catches over defenders during camp.Noland finished last year with 48 tackles and six pass breakups. He was named to the FCS Football Central Freshman All-American Team.UND running back Matt Lawson, a transfer from Illinois State, has a background as a slot receiver a position he played growing up including catching balls as a youth from Kaminski during 7-on-7 leagues.On Saturday, UND set up a convoy of blockers to score a touchdown on a screen pass during 11-on-11 play.In his one season of use at Illinois State, Lawson appeared in 12 games in 2024 and racked up 447 yards and 4.3 yards per carry. He had a career-high 84 rushing yards on 16 carries with a touchdown against Northern Iowa.Lawson is competing for a role vacated by the transfer of Sawyer Seidl to Wake Forest and the graduations of Gaven Ziebarth and Xavier Leigh.UND's starting edges are set with standouts Lance Rucker and Kaden Vig.But the Fighting Hawks will play a handful of others plenty of snaps there, as well.Brody Thornton, who now wears No. 22, has made enough plays through fall camp to appear in line to be considered UND's No. 3 at his position.Thornton is a 6-5, 245-pound redshirt freshman from Menomonie, Wis.He played in three regular season games and two playoff games last season, registering a sack against Indiana State and picking up three tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss in a playoff loss at Tarleton State.Former UND defensive tackle Emmanuel Olagbaju, who transferred to Iowa in the offseason, played at about 295 pounds.His replacement in the offseason, Kylyn Macklin of Albany weighs in about 20 pounds lighter than Olagbaju.However, through four days of fall camp, Macklin has used his speed to spend a lot of time in the Fighting Hawks' backfield.He was disruptive again Saturday as he played in a starting role opposite Logyn Eckheart.0 Comments 0 Shares 50 Views 0 Reviews -
