🎥 OSUMAX: SENIOR BOWL SPOTLIGHT

The eyes of many across professional football are on Mobile, Alabama this week as the prestigious Reese’s Senior Bowl is just a day away.

🔼 Hey Now, He’s An All-Star. For the first time in 30 years, a Cowboy is headed to the NBA All-Star game.

OSU legend Cade Cunningham was named as an NBA All-Star reserve for the first time in his young career.

Cunningham will be the first Cowboy to appear in an NBA All-Star game since 1994 when John Starks represented the New York Knicks.

He's averaging a career-best 25.0 points in year No. 4, and his 9.3 assists per game ranks third on the league leaderboard. Cunningham's play has helped lead resurgent Detroit to a 23-24 start, on the heels of last year's 14-68 finish.

The 2025 NBA All-Star game tips off at 7 p.m. CT on Feb. 16 at San Francisco's Chase Center and will air on TNT.

🔼 History Maker. Former OSU star Lexi Kilfoyl is no stranger to making history.

On Wednesday night, she did so once again.

Kilfoyl was drafted first overall by the Bandits in the inaugural Athletes Unlimited Softball League Draft. She was the first person selected in league history with the first pick in the first round by the Bandits. The 2024 Big 12 Pitcher of the Year and two-time NFCA All-American returns to AU after finishing second in points and earning the Rookie of the Year title in her rookie season last summer.

Kilfoyl started in nine games in the 2024 AU Pro Softball Championship Season and posted a 7-3 record while leading the league in ERA (2.23), strikeouts (39) and innings pitched (59). She also led the league in stat points (514) and MVP points (300) and finished second overall in points with 1,734 total points.
