Ollie has an 11-inch vertical, so maybe not quite what Billy Napier and the Gators expected

The Jacksonville Jaguars have placed DT Maason Smith on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
So you’re Droc’s boss now?!? Got it
No, I’m not moving to Indianapolis. (although following that Twitter rumor has been hillarious)
Booker, the Suns No. 13 overall pick in the 2015 Draft, has played all 10 NBA seasons in Phoenix and now lands his third contract extension with the franchise. He doubles down again on his loyalty to the Suns – and wanting to win there – in an era of frequent player movement.
Booker and owner Mat Ishbia met in Las Vegas tonight to finalize the contract, which cements Booker’s commitment to the Suns vision for the future and him as the franchise’s leader moving forward. Booker now has five years and $316 million total on his Suns deal.

Man, first Gene and now Pop. What a week.
BREAKING: Gregg Popovich will no longer be Head Coach of the San Antonio Spurs and is transitioning full-time to Team President, sources told ESPN. The iconic Popovich is a Basketball Hall of Famer, the NBA’s all-time winningest coach, and led the Spurs to five championships.
Congrats, Gene. Covering the Jags will never be the same.
Personal news: After 44-year run at T-U, I will be retiring at end of week. Thanks to my readers and all following me on X for your feedback. I’ve been blessed to write sports since I was 16. Always been my passion, but time for new adventure with my wife and 2 grandkids. Cheers.
How long was Jack Kiser at #NotreDame? He was Robert Hainsey's teammate for two seasons with the Irish. Now he'll be Hainsey's teammate in Jacksonville after Hainsey played through his four-year rookie contract in Tampa Bay. notredame.rivals.com/news/jacksonvi…
Speed thrills
Has Bhayshul Tuten ever NOT been the fastest guy on his team? "No" Not even with WR Jaylin Lane? "We know who is faster. [Jaylin's] the closet though" "... They better be fast as shit if they're running with me" 🤣 @HokiesFB @bhayshul @j_lane_2 #Jaguars | #DUUUVAL
Gators coach Billy Napier says QB DJ Lagway will start throwing in the next couple weeks and should be good to go for fall practice
Nice to see Calais ending his career where it started. Jaguars should do the same with TE Marcedes Lewis, who is looking for a 20th and final season.
38 and still going: Standout DL and #Dolphins FA Calais Campbell is expected to sign with the #AZCardinals on a 1-year deal, sources say, as the former Walter Payton Man of the Year is set for another season. 38 years old, with 17 seasons under his belt, Campbell isn’t done.
Florida G Alijah Martin, who transferred from FAU, is the first player since Steve Krafcisin (UNC in 1977 and Iowa in 1980) to go to the Final Four with different teams. Surely a sign of the portal times.
