TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) \u2014 Auburn transfer Ashton Daniels has been named Florida State\u2019s starting quarterback. Tuesday’s announcement on social media answers the biggest question hanging over the program since the conclusion of spring practice. When the Seminoles wrapped up their practices last Wednesday, coach Mike Norvell said he was \u201cnot ready\u201d to name either Daniels or redshirt freshman Kevin Sperry the No. 1 quarterback. Daniels spent his first three seasons at Stanford and played for Auburn in 2025. He has 4,783 passing yards and 1,397 rushing yards with 35 touchdowns in 37 career games.<\/p>\n
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Dick Gould has been around Stanford sports long enough as a tennis player and coach \u2014 a remarkable run of seven decades \u2014 that he clearly remembers some down years for the university\u2019s sports programs. He heard the excuses by coaches and student-athletes back in the day of \u201cwe just can\u2019t win at Stanford, you can\u2019t be smart and be an athlete.\u201d That\u2019s what makes the current streak of success on the national stage extra special for the retired, longtime tennis coach \u2014 Stanford just captured an NCAA championship for a 50th consecutive year.<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Former Wisconsin guard John Blackwell is heading to Duke. Blackwell announced his commitment in an Instagram post. Blackwell was one of the most highly regarded players to enter the transfer portal after he teamed up with Nick Boyd this season to give Wisconsin one of the nation\u2019s top backcourt tandems. Blackwell\u2019s decision was part of a productive day of commitments for the Blue Devils and top rival North Carolina. The Tar Heels landed commitments from Utah guard Terrence Brown and guard Matt Able from fellow instate program N.C. State ahead of Michael Malone’s debut season leading the Tar Heels.<\/p>\n
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) \u2014 A grandson of retired Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski has been charged with misdemeanor driving while impaired in connection with a collision that killed a 15-year-old bicyclist. According to court records in Durham County, North Carolina, Joseph Savarino admitted to drinking before the incident Saturday night and a Breathalyzer test measured his blood-alcohol concentration at 0.11%. The legal limit is 0.08%. Police say Savarino\u2019s vehicle struck the boy, who was riding his bike in northwest Durham. The 26-year-old Savarino made his first court appearance Monday, and a judge revoked his driver\u2019s license before releasing him on a $100,000 secured bond.<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Establishing team chemistry in college football is tougher than ever with so many players not staying at the same school for four years. But it\u2019s still doable. Succeeding in the transfer portal era requires altering offseason objectives. Players aren\u2019t just getting to know the playbook. They\u2019re getting to know one another. New Mexico provides a model example on how teams can build chemistry even after roster overhauls. The Lobos had 75 newcomers last year and still went 9-4 for their first winning season since 2016.<\/p>\n
UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Nebraska’s baseball team is putting together one of its best regular seasons in years. The Cornhuskers outscored a then-top 10 Southern California 36-15 with two run-rule victories in a three-game weekend sweep in Lincoln and have put themselves in strong position to host an NCAA regional for the first time since 2008. The sweep was Nebraska\u2019s first against a ranked opponent since 2015. The Huskers already have matched their 2025 Big Ten win total of 15 with 12 conference games left. They are alone in second place behind UCLA and are No. 20 in the D1Baseball.com<\/a> and Baseball America rankings.<\/p>\n Copyright 2026 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
