🏈 ROUGHIN’ IT
For the past four-plus seasons, Xavier Benson tortured opposing offenses and QBs.
Now, the former Poke will do so at the professional level as the star LB was a seventh-round pick in this week’s UFL College Draft.
Benson, who was a two-year starter at OSU, was selected by the Houston Roughnecks
The 2025 UFL season commences in late March and runs through early June.
⛳️ WEEKEND HUNT
Doesn’t matter the year, doesn’t matter the course. The Open Championship is never for the faint of heart.
That held true in Thursday’s opening round, but one former Cowboy got off to a hot start with Alex Noren firing a 2-under, 69 at Royal Troon to sit in contention heading into Friday’s round two.
Round ✌️ tee times for the OSU Crew (CST):
Rickie Fowler: 2:14 a.m.
Wyndham Clark: 3:14 a.m.
Alex Noren: 5:47 a.m.
Austin Eckroat: 7:26 a.m.
Viktor Hovland: 8:59 a.m.
