Georgia Wide Receiver Walker Bryson Commits to Indiana University Football for 2026 Indiana landed a commitment from class of 2026 wide receiver Walker Bryson on Friday afternoon. Walker announced his commitment on his social media pages. He recently visited Bloomington earlier this month. The 6-foot and 180-pound Walker is a 3-star, the No. 511 overall player in the 2026 class, and the No. 26 athlete according to the average of the national sites. Walker attends Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School in Rabun Gap, Ga. One of his greatest assets is high-end speed. He reports a laser-timed 4.4 40-yard dash. And Walker uses that speed in a number of ways, as a receiver, returner and runner. In just 7.5 regular season games as a junior, Bryson scored 10 TDs, amassed 400 return yards, 500 receiving yards on 40 catches, and 1,000 all-purpose yards. Bryson chose IU over North Carolina, Wake Forest, and South Florida. He also had offers from Rutgers, Minnesota, Kansas State, Virginia Tech, Memphis, Pittsburgh, Oregon State, Kansas, Syracuse, Tennessee, West Virginia, Vanderbilt, Duke, West Virginia, Miami (Fla.), and many others. Walker is IU’s 21st verbal commit in a 2026 class that is ranked around No. 27 in the nation by the main recruiting outlets before this news. He’s the second player expected to play wide receiver to commit to IU this cycle.

Poland will face Sweden in its second Group C Game in Lucerne Switzerland on Tuesday at 3 PM Bloomington Time and will face Denmark on Saturday in Zurich at 3 PM Bloomington time to close out Group C play. Sweden beat Denmark 1-0 in its opening match on Friday so Poland will need a win to have any chance to advance to the knockout stage.
Indianapolis Indians get a Fourth of July win over the Louisville Bats at Victory Field The Indianapolis Indians scored a run in each of the first three innings, including a five-run second frame, to back Bubba Chandler’s second quality start and sixth scoreless start of the season in their 8-1 victory over the Louisville Bats on Friday night at Victory Field. The holiday contest was all Indianapolis (7-3, 49-35) from the get-go. Billy Cook opened the bottom of the first inning with a double and immediately came around to score on a single from Ji Hwan Bae to give Indy a lead they would not relinquish. The Indians kept their foot on the gas in the second inning and broke the game wide open. Liover Peguero and Matt Fraizer reached base to start the inning and came around to score on an RBI single from Tsung-Che Cheng.
The Indians benefitted from back-to-back throwing errors from Louisville (4-6,36-48) to plate two more runs before Nick Yorke capped the second inning with an RBI triple, his second of the week against the Bats, to grant Indy a 6-0 advantage. The Indians capped their fireworks in the third inning when Cheng connected with his second two-RBI hit of the day, this time a double, to give him a career-high tying four RBI. He last knocked in four runs on Aug. 7, 2024, with Double-A Altoona at Portland. The Bats strung together a double and a single in the seventh to bring in a run but were held scoreless otherwise. Bubba Chandler (W, 3-2) tossed his first scoreless start of 6.0 or more innings this season, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out six. Colin Holderman, Burch Smith and Eddy Yean combined for the final three innings, with Holderman surrendering the lone run. Brian Van Belle (L,6-3) took the loss for Louisville after allowing all eight Indianapolis runs. The win marked Indy’s fourth straight on Independence Day since 2022, which is their longest streaks since a five-game run from1998-2002. Additionally, the seven-run win is their largest advantage on July Fourth since 2016, when they beat Louisville 11-3.
Indiana Pacers Adding Center Jay Huff in a Trade from the Memphis Grizzlies The Indiana Pacers are reportedly adding a center to their roster. According to a report by ESPN’s Senior NBA Insider Shams Charania, the Pacers are acquiring Memphis Grizzlies center Jay Huff “for one second-round pick and one second-round pick swap.” The 7’1″ center played in 64 games last season for the Grizzlies. He averaged 6.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per contest. There has been a lot of discussion about how the Pacers fill the void at center left by Myles Turner after Turner signed a multi-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks less than a week ago.
Roger Penske has new leadership for his Indy Car Team after Cheating Scandal Team Penske has new leadership structure atop its IndyCar and sports car programs in the wake of its latest cheating scandal that engulfed the organization at the Indianapolis 500. Jonathan Diuguid has been promoted to president of Penske Racing, and Travis Law has been named competition director for Penske Racing. Diuguid and Law have a combined 38 years of experience at Team Penske. Diuguid and Law will oversee the Team Penske teams competing in IndyCar as well as Porsche Penske Motorsport, which races in both IMSA and the World Endurance Championship series. “After two decades working for Roger Penske, I truly know and understand what the Penske name means in the world of motorsports,” Diuguid said. “The best way I know to show my appreciation to him for his trust is to ensure our success continues well into the future.”
Roger Penske fired his top three executives at Team Penske after two of the Penske cars were found to be illegal. Team president Tim Cindric, IndyCar managing director Ron Ruzewski and IndyCar general manager Kyle Moyer were fired in May in the wake of this Indianapolis 500 cheating scandal. Penske is owner of the three-car team, IndyCar, Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indy 500. He has won the Indy 500 a record 20 times. Penske shook up his race team leadership after two-time Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden and teammate Will Power were found to have an illegally modified spec part on their cars ahead the final round of qualifications for the 109th running of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Cindric and Ruzewski already had been suspended by IndyCar for the race and both teams fined $100,000. It was the second consecutive year Cindric and Ruzewski were suspended from the Indy 500.
