How Nick McLarty, a former Australian rules football player, became Ohio State’s newest punter commit
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Nick McLarty stood on the sideline of last Tuesday’s Ohio State practice, the first of the spring, and looked like a prospective offensive or defensive lineman as he took in the drills on the field in front of him.
The 6-foot-7, 255-pounder, on the first of his multi-day trip to Ohio, saw everything with fresh eyes and a clear mindset. That was, mostly, by design.

Which Guardians Top Prospects Will Make a Big League Impact in 2026?
This came on the heels of an incredible, albeit shortened, 2022 season at JMU where he hit .437/.576/.828 over 24 games. He likely would have gone even higher in the draft, but a broken foot prevented him from finishing the season and caused him to miss his first year of minor league play.
For DeLauter, health has always been the name of the game. In the time since his left foot injury, DeLauter has re-injured the same foot, sprained toes, strained his hamstring, dealt with a sports hernia, and fractured his right hamate bone.
These injuries have limited DeLauter to just 138 games over the past three seasons. Still, he has made the most of the time he has spent on the field. Over those 138 games, DeLauter has hit .302/.384/.504 across the minor league levels while hitting 20 home runs and 40 doubles.
While his hit and power tools have been impressive early, he has also demonstrated patience at the plate. He walks nearly as often as he strikes out, and rarely chases outside the zone. DeLauter is also a solid defender with a strong arm and the ability to play at any outfield position.
Outside of Kwan, the Guardians have lacked outfield production for some time. DeLauter should have plenty of runway throughout this next season as long as he can stay on the field.
Daniel Espino (RHP)
Among pitching prospects in the Guardians’ system, few are more interesting than Daniel Espino. Injuries have plagued his playing career thus far, but he still has plenty of potential.

’27 TE D’Angelo White Commits to Louisville
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Another blue chip Class of 2027 prospect has picked the Louisville football program.
Cleveland (Oh.) Villa Angela-St. Joseph tight end D’Angelo White, a four-star prospect in the 2027 cycle, announced Sunday that he has given his verbal pledge to the Cardinals.
White chose Louisville over several blue blood programs. He held offers from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Tennessee and others, and had made multiple unofficial visits to OSU, UM and PSU.
There’s a reason why so many elite schools were after White. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound prospect ranks as high as the No. 3 tight end and No. 159 overall prospect in the Class of 2027 in ESPN’s rankings, and comes in as the 288th-ranked recruit in the nation by the 247Sports Composite.
White was an impact player on both sides of the ball for Cleveland (Oh.) Villa Angelo-St. Joseph. Not only was he a difference maker from his tight end spot, he earned D-III Second-Team honors from OHSAA as a defensive lineman. Stats for White were not provided by MaxPreps.
White is the fourth Class of 2027 prospect to the commit to the Cardinals, joining Lizton (Ind.) Tri-West quarterback Jack Sorgi, Cincinnati (Oh.) wide receiver Chuck Alexander and Louisville (Ky.) Trinity cornerback Allen Evans. All four are top-300 prospects according to the 247Sports Composite., which has helped UofL sport the No. 17 overall class up to this point.
In the more immediate 2026 cycle, Louisville signed 19 prospect during the early signing period last night, with 15 of them being early enrollees. It’s a class that ranks 32nd in the nation, per 247Sports.
