In the last 20 years, Alabama football has ruled college football, starting with their own conference. They’ve won nine out of the last 20 SEC titles, and four out of the last six, including last year’s upset over Georgia that kept the Bulldogs from a chance of three-peating for the national title.

LWOS has presented the best returning 2024 linebackers of the Big 12, Big Ten, and the ACC. As the Power Four is rounded out, we evaluate the best SEC linebackers returning this season. Some of the most prolific players of the past come from the SEC, such as Alabama’s C.J. Moseley, Takeo Spikes from Auburn, and Florida’s Jevon Kearse. In last season’s linebacker preview, several went on to the NFL, like Alabama’s Dallas Turner, who is already projected to make a difference for the Minnesota Vikings. Rams rookie Omar Speights was featured from LSU. He likely has the best chance to make the 53-man roster out of their 16 undrafted free agents.

Following the recent injury to defensive lineman Jordan Hall, the Georgia Bulldogs have received more bad news regarding the status of one contributor in that position group. Xzavier McLeod, who joined the Bulldogs this year from South Carolina, is sidelined with an abdominal strain and is expected to miss the Week 1 matchup with Clemson, first reported by 247Sports.
McLeod is a former four-star prospect in the class of 2023 from Camden, South Carolina. McLeod is listed at 6 feet, 4 inches and 313 pounds. He was the second highest rated recruit in South Carolina in the 2023 cycle. He saw action in one game for South Carolina last season, recording one tackle and one interception, before transferring to Georgia in December.
McLeod was brought in to provide immediate depth on the defensive line and is expected to immediately factor into the rotation. With his status for the Clemson game in doubt as well as the injuries to Jordan Hall and Warren Brinson, Georgia will have to rely on Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Jamaal Jarrett, Gabe Harris and Christen Miller to play heavy snaps against the Tigers.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

On Monday of last week, the St. Louis Blues gave offer sheets to two Edmonton Oiler restricted free agents Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway. And it came right down to the wire, as we are here on the following Tuesday morning. The deals were different to each player. Broberg’s carried an average annual value of $4,580,917. The news has just been confirmed that the Oilers decided not to match, and they will receive a second-round draft choice as compensation. On the other hand, for Holloway, his offer sheet, which also went unmatched, is a two-year contract, carrying an AAV of $2,290,457. The Oilers will now receive a third-rounder as compensation.

Most people are guilty of doing it at least once in their lives, many people do it by accident, some do it because they find it fun, and others do it for reasons like honoring loved ones. Regardless of the situation, just about everyone has released a balloon. The difference is that intentionally releasing balloons is now illegal by House Bill 321’s standards.

New Orleans, LA

The New Orleans Pelicans have had a crazy offseason up to this point. They acquired Dejounte Murray from the Atlanta Hawks and signed veteran big man Daniel Theis this summer. On the flip side, they lost Jonas Valanciunas to the Washington Wizards and sent Larry Nance Jr. and Cody Zeller to the Hawks. Furthermore, talks of the team possibly trading former All-Star Brandon Ingram were prominent for much of the year. However, at this point, a trade to move on from Ingram seems less likely. After getting swept by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the 2024 playoffs, the Pelicans upgraded their team and should return better than they were last season. Ultimately, the Pelicans are likely done with the bulk of their moves this summer. However, the team is still filling out their roster over a month and a half into the offseason.
