The Holy War has reached the recruiting trails.
Legend Glasker, a wide receiver prospect in the 2026 class, received an offer from Kyle Whittingham and his Utah football program Friday night — right in the middle of an official visit with BYU.
The 6-foot-2 speedster out of Lehi High School has been committed to the Cougars since April 20, though that hasn't stopped the Utes from entering the mix for the in-state standout.
Glasker is ranked by 247Sports as a three-star and the No. 15 player from the state of Utah's 2026 high school class. He's coming off an impressive junior season that ended with him hauling in 10 receptions for 129 yards and four touchdowns in Lehi's 6A playoff semifinal loss to eventual state champion Corner Canyon High School. He also had eight catches for 230 yards and two touchdowns in a game against Lone Peak High School earlier in the season.

Glasker can burst off the line of scrimmage with his electric speed, making him an intriguing deep threat considering he's also 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds. He recently posted a 4.42 time in a 40-yard dash at an Under Armour high school event in May, rivaling NFL wide receiver Xavier Worthy's time of 4.41 in the same event.
Glasker previously committed to BYU over offers from Cal, Washington State, Colorado State, Hawaii, Utah State, San Jose State, and UNLV.
Utah's 2026 recruiting class grew recently with a pledge from three-star tight end Bear Fisher. The Utes also have commitments from three-stars Michael Johnson (ranked as the No. 45 quarterback in the 2026 class), LaGary Mitchell (No. 77 linebacker), Major Hinchen (No. 123 cornerback), LaMarcus Bell (No. 23 running back) and Carter Stewart (No. 160 cornerback). Three-star Preston Pitts (No. 39 edge rusher) committed back in April.

South Carolina receives significant update on star QB LaNorris Sellers
The South Carolina Gamecocks received a positive update regarding quarterback LaNorris Sellers' health on Thursday, setting him up to return for their first road SEC game of the season against Associated Press No. 23 Missouri Tigers. LaNorris Sellers returns to practice On3's Pete Nakos and Chris Low reported that Sellers (head) "is trending towards playing ... barring a setback," with Nakos noting the trendy preseason Heisman pick was practicing with the team two days before kickoff. Sellers suffered a head injury in the first half of last Saturday's 31-7 upset loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores, which entered the Associated Press poll at No. 20 following the win. Before leaving the game, Sellers was 6-of-7 for 94 yards (13.4 yards per attempt) and an interception. South Carolina's hopes depend on LaNorris Sellers It's not an exaggeration to say that South Carolina's hopes of pulling off a road win against Missouri hinges on Sellers' health. As CBS Sports noted, the Gamecocks averaged 4.5 yards per play and turned the ball over three times with Luke Doty at quarterback. Their seven points were their fewest at home against an unranked conference opponent since 2007 (h/t Stathead). Sellers put up modest numbers in his first two games, averaging 168.5 passing yards in wins against the Virginia Tech Hokies (0-3) and FCS South Carolina State Bulldogs (2-1). But little was needed of Sellers in those games. Against tougher SEC competition, including Missouri (3-0), which is first in the conference in total offense (587 yards per game), South Carolina's offense will need to shoulder more of the burden. The Tigers have been particularly effective running the ball, ranking third in FBS in rushing offense (907 yards). With their ability to shorten games thanks to a potent rushing attack, Sellers' ability to hit on explosive passing plays could be crucial. This season, he's completed three of his four attempts that have traveled at least 20 air yards for 126 yards (31.5 yards per attempt) and two touchdowns. In 2024, Sellers had the highest adjusted completion percentage, which accounts for receiver drops, on deep passes among SEC quarterbacks with at least 20 attempts at 56.4 percent (h/t Pro Football Focus). Last Saturday was a huge setback for South Carolina, which fell from No. 11 to out of the AP poll with the 24-point loss to Vanderbilt, the largest in program history in a ranked-vs.-unranked home game. But the Gamecocks can quickly turn the page against Mizzou, and getting Sellers back at quarterback would give them a legitimate chance of doing so.
Reporter offers theory on why Kirk Cousins has not been traded
There have been multiple injuries to starting quarterbacks through the first two weeks of the NFL season, which has led to speculation that the Atlanta Falcons might finally trade Kirk Cousins. It does not sound like that is close to happening. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reported on Thursday that no teams have reached out to the Falcons about trading for Cousins despite injuries to Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow, San Francisco 49ers' Brock Purdy, Minnesota Vikings' J.J. McCarthy, New York Jets' Justin Fields and Washington Commanders' Jayden Daniels. Cousins was once considered the type of player who would generate buzz if a team's starting QB were to go down. So why hasn't it happened? According to Rapoport, the Falcons have no real incentive to trade Cousins. Cutting the 37-year-old never made sense, as Atlanta has to pay Cousins anyway, hence why the asking price has not dropped significantly. "He is a proven starting quarterback who happens to be the backup quarterback. If Michael Penix gets hurt, Cousins will step in there," Rapoport said. "That allows the Falcons to drive a very, very hard bargain. In other words, if you're going to trade for Kirk Cousins, if you're a team that says, 'Alright, we gotta have this guy,' you're gonna have to pay some of the salary and you're gonna have to give up a real draft pick. That is the luxury the Falcons have. "If they've got to keep him, they can just keep him because he's an excellent, excellent backup quarterback. Perhaps that is why we have not seen a deal yet, but every time there is a real, long-term quarterback injury, we're gonna have the same conversation this season." Kirk Cousins was benched for poor play in 2024 Cousins lost his job to Michael Penix Jr. midway through the 2024 season. The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback got off to a decent start in his first season with Atlanta, but then played poorly for a stretch. Cousins finished with 3,508 yards, 18 touchdown passes and a career-worst 16 interceptions. There were numerous trade rumors involving Cousins during the offseason, but nothing materialized. That is mainly because he is only in the second year of a four-year, $180M contract. The Falcons do not seem eager to eat much of that salary in a trade, unless a team were willing to make it worth their while with draft-pick compensation. A desperate team could still want Kirk Cousins The Bengals are bracing for a lengthy absence for Burrow, who could potentially miss the remainder of the season. The other quarterbacks who have gotten hurt are not expected to be sidelined for very long. It is possible that teams aren't desperate enough this early in the season to give up assets for Cousins. There also seems to be a belief among some that Cousins' skills have declined, which makes it tougher for the Falcons to ask for much in a potential deal.
Packers Get Good News Regarding TE Tucker Kraft’s Knee Injury
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Packers TE Tucker Kraft had “a little scare but all good” regarding the knee injury he suffered during Thursday’s practice squad. “I think he will be OK,” Schefter’s source added. The Packers were optimistic that Kraft’s knee injury wasn’t a season-threatening issue, but they had to get tests run before saying for certain. It’s still unclear whether he will be able to play in Week 3. Kraft, 24, was a two-year starter for South Dakota State and earned first-team All-American honors in 2021 and third-team in 2022. The Packers selected him in the third round with the No. 78 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. He’s in the third year of a four-year, $5,537,934 rookie contract that included a $1,027,588 signing bonus. In 2025, Kraft has appeared in two games for the Packers and caught eight passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns.
Data shows who is to blame for the offensive struggles, and confirms the one area the Commanders must improve in
The Washington Commanders' passing offense hasn't been what we're used to through the first two weeks, and a lot of people are trying to pinpoint what's going on. The passing struggles were expected with a new offensive line, new weapons on offense, and Terry McLaurin missing a lot of time right before the season, but the data shows it's much more than that. The offensive line hasn't helped the passing game at all, but the real story is what the wide receivers are doing, and not doing downfield. The real factor in the lack of production Jayden Daniels has done everything possible with what he's been given, but we all expected the offense to be clicking with all the new additions this offseason. Through the first two games, Daniels has had his worst performances to date, and has a completion percentage of only 59.7%. When you watch the film, though, he's not getting much help downfield with wide receivers getting separation, and the data backs it up. As a whole unit, the Commanders' wide receiver corps has the worst overall separation score in the league. Noah Brown has the best separation score for the Commanders, and he's barely in the positives. Meanwhile, Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, and Jaylin Lane are all in the negatives. Kingsbury expects improvement Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury talked about the offensive struggles and what he expects moving forward. "As far as Green Bay went," Kingsbury said. "First off, you gotta give them a lot of credit. I think that the defensive staff does a tremendous job there. They have a really good defense, a talented defense, and they got after us. Any opportunities we had, we didn't seem to make the most of, but it's week two. Gotta keep getting better, gotta keep learning together. We haven't been together that much as a complete unit, getting on the same page, and so it was good to get back this week and actually practice and get out there and try to build. But yeah, I just think we're a work in progress right now.” McLaurin is obviously the biggest part of the offense, and he only has 75 yards, which is third on the team, and has yet to find the endzone. There have been a couple of missed opportunities by Daniels, but a big factor is the lack of separation on offense, which can be blamed on both skill and scheme. Both are fixable, and the Raiders' secondary allows the offense to open up regardless of who plays QB on Sunday.
