Gators receiver Ricky Pearsall goes to NFC champion 49ers late in 1st round • Beede’s Breakdown: How Magic bounced back at home to dominate Cavs in Game 3
 Sentinel Sports Final Friday, April 26, 2024 | | |
| | | | | Winning Game 2 is great, but to make this stick Orlando must even the series with Cleveland on Saturday. The Cavs don't have to win at Kia Center to win the series. ... Ricky Pearsall rocketed up the NFL draft boards after the combine and outperformed expectations by going late in the first round. ... QBs dominated the top selections, with Tampa's Michael Penix ending up in the NFC South but with the rival Falcons. ... If Jared Verse had never left Albany via the transfer portal for FSU, I wonder where he would've been drafted. Players changing schools every year is a bit annoying, but you can't knock the portal when talents such as Verse go under-recruited when they're young and end up in obscurity to hurt their future earning potential. ... The Lightning are done. They've played very well in the last two games, and all they have to show for it is a goose egg. | | | | Make no mistake about it, the home crowd was a major factor in the Magic's third most-lopsided playoff victory in team history. | | | | | He registered 42 inches in the vertical jump and a 10 feet, 9 inches in the broad jump. He ran 4.41 in the 40-yard dash, ranking 10th among receivers at the NFL Combine. | | | | | The Magic used a 28-11 run to end the first quarter and never relinquished their lead at Kia Center. | | | | | In 4A District 4 track, Ocoee won the girls and boys team titles, while Winter Springs, Lake Nona and Seminole had big softball victories. Dr. Phillips, Hagerty and Foundation Academy were among the softball winners. | | | | | Quarterbacks went off the draft board at a record-setting pace. This was the fourth time in the common draft era starting in 1967 that QBs went with the top three picks, with three more going in the top 12 in the fewest number of picks for six QBs to be drafted. This marked the first time five quarterbacks were drafted in the top 10 and matched the famed 1983 class with six first-rounders in all as teams throughout the league were in search of a big-time passer who can turn the fortunes of a franchise. | | | | | Matthew Tkachuk scored twice and Florida took down Tampa Bay 5-3 at Amalie Arena on Thursday night. | | | | | Jared Verse had two productive seasons for the Seminoles, finishing with 18 sacks. He transferred from Albany. | | | | | The Bucs needed offensive line help for QB Baker Mayfield, choosing Graham Barton with the 26th pick. | | | | | General manager Chris Grier used his first opening-round pick since 2021 to bolster his defense. | | | | | The Pride have looked stronger as the season progresses, and they have still yet to field their best starting lineup. The Spirit have won four in a row behind a potent attack led by rookie phenom Croix Bethune. | | | | | Last season, Billy Napier's team ended on a five-game losing streak en route to a 5-7 record. He's 11-14 entering Year 3. | | | | | He led the Bowl Subdivision with 17 receiving touchdowns last season. He finished with 68 catches for 1,177 yards, averaging a whopping 17.3 yards a reception. | | | | | Pat O'Hara, an NFL Draft pick and long-time Arena Football League quarterback and coach is back in Orlando after spending the past nine years working in the NFL with the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans. | | | | | AG Ashley Moody and FSU have asked for the conference's TV contracts with ESPN, which involve hundreds of millions of dollars. | | | | | Ben Rortvedt doesn't have to send his mom a birthday card this year. The Rays catcher will be able to hand it to her and celebrate the occasion with a large group of family and friends next week. | | | |
