Former Alabama standout offensive tackle Jedrick Wills suffered another setback and is expected to miss a large portion of the 2025 NFL season, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

“Sources: Free agent OT Jedrick Wills, who dealt with a lingering knee injury last season, is planning to sit out most — or possibly all — of the upcoming season to fully recover and get back to 100%,” Schultz wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

“Wills, the former Browns’ top 10 pick, has drawn interest from multiple teams and is still just 26 years old — but he believes taking this time off is the best move for the long-term future of his career.”

Wills played in a large majority of the Cleveland Browns’ games during the first three years of his career, but he’s logged a combined 13 contests over the last two seasons.

Wills experienced a recurring right knee injury during the 2024 NFL season, ultimately leading to him being placed on injured reserve and ending his year earlier than he had hoped. He also suffered a season-ending knee injury in November 2023, requiring arthroscopic surgery.

Wills elected for free agency on March 10 and it looks like he won’t be signing with a new team anytime soon.

Wills showed a lot of promise during the first couple years of his NFL career, as he was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team in 2020 and finished top-20 among all NFL offensive linemen in sacks allowed during his first two seasons. Once his knee is eventually healed, he’s still young enough to enter his prime.

Wills dominated opposing edge rushers and defensive linemen while at Alabama, as the 2017 CFP national champion was a First Team All-SEC member in 2019 and landed on the All-American Second Team that same year.

Loganville (Ga.) Grayson four-star linebacker Anthony Davis remains a priority target for Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle.

Davis, a Top-20 rated linebacker in America, plays his prep ball for one of the Peach State’s top high school programs as he continues his development for the next level.

Following a standout junior campaign, Davis has earned double-digit scholarship offers with Ole Miss joining the likes of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Michigan Wolverines and Auburn Tigers, among others.

Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels sit atop the list for Davis alongside the Crimson Tide and Tigers as he begins evaluating his contenders.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder flaunts an impressive offer list, but according to Rivals, it’s Ole Miss and Alabama that are making an impact this offseason.

Davis unofficially visited the Rebels on April 17 where he had the chance to soak in the scenes of the Magnolia State for a quick trip around the staff.

“The hospitality they showed me and my family was like no other,” Davis told On3 Sports. “I sat down with the DC for a hour just going over how I fit their scheme and it was great.”

The coveted linebacker officially visited the Auburn Tigers this weekend and he’ll also check in with the Alabama Crimson Tide on June 20 to round out his summer trips.

But the Ole Miss Rebels have now landed an official visit with Davis where he’ll be in Oxford during the weekend of June 6, according to On3 Sports.

“Ole Miss has made things interesting,” Davis told On3 Sports. “The hospitality and the way they want to play for me really caught my attention.”

Davis is a Top-250 prospect in America and a Top-20 linebacker with a myriad of programs heavily invested in the talented defender.

Now, he’s down to five schools heading into the summer months with the Ole Miss Rebels joining the Michigan Wolverines, Auburn Tigers, Florida Gators and Alabama Crimson Tide.

Kiffin and Co. will continue looking to bolster the second level of the defense this offseason with the program currently hosting Auburn linebackerr commit JaMichael Garrett for an official visit to Oxford.

The Visitor: JaMichael Garrett – Four-Star Linebacker

The list of recruits heading to town continued growing this week with the program adding Baton Rouge (La.) Central linebacker JaMichael Garrett.

Garrett, who recently made the move from Alabama to Louisiana to round out his high school career, will officially visit Ole Miss this weekend.

The four-star, Top-10 linebacker in America remains one of the most sought-after second-level defenders with multiple premier programs pursuing his services.

As it currently stands, Garrett is committed to Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers after going public with a decision last summer.

The 6-foot-, 195-pounder has reeled in offers from the likes of the LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes and USC Trojans, among others, but the Ole Miss Rebels are a school that continues generating buzz.

Alabama track and field wrapped up its final day of the NCAA East First Round in style as the Crimson Tide are sending three more athletes to the National Championships.

Doris Lemngole’s 9:13.12 time at the 3,000-meter steeplechase not only helped her win the race but she also broke the Hodges Stadium facility record. NC State’s Angelina Napoleon crossed the finish line in 9:37.12––which was the second-best mark. In other words, as usual, Lemngole absolutely dominated.

Joining Lemngole was Miracle Ailes, who used a season-best performance of 1.82 meters (5-11.50) to advance in the high jump, and Precious Nzeakor, who clocked an advancing, 23.03 time in the 200-meter race.

Across the four-day NCAA East First Round meet, the Crimson Tide be heavily represented at the National Championships at Oregon’s Hayward Field from June 11-14:

“Our team showed incredible grit and focus this week – advancing the number of student-athletes we did is a testament to their hard work, and we’re excited to carry this momentum to the National Championships in two weeks,” Alabama head coach Dan Waters said in a press release. “I couldn’t be prouder of how everyone competed throughout this meet – they supported each other, they rose to every challenge and represented the University of Alabama with excellence. This was a total team effort, and they’ve truly earned their shot on the national stage.”

No events are scheduled.
