Report: Colts would ‘run card in’ if Georgia TE Brock Bowers is available with 15th pick
According to ESPN’s Matt Miller, the Indianapolis Colts will ‘run the card in’ if prized Georgia tight end Brock Bowers is still available with the 15th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft:
What we’re hearing about the Colts’ draft: Cornerback stands out as one of the Colts’ biggest needs and realistic targets at No. 15 — as long as Brock Bowers is off the board. One source with a rival team believed the Colts would “run the card in” if Bowers is available. If he’s off the board, though, finding a starting outside cornerback in this draft is noted as the team’s priority. Terrion Arnold and Toledo’s Quinyon Mitchell could both still be on the board when the Colts’ turn to pick comes up thanks to what should be a heavy run on offensive players in the top 10 picks. Ballard could have his choice of the draft’s best CBs without having to move up the board. — Miller
It’s not the first time that the Colts have been connected with Bowers during the pre-draft evaluation process, as there was prior reported speculated Indy interest from NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah regarding the top tight end prospect—who’s also drawn comparisons to former Horseshoe franchise great Dallas Clark.
The 6’3,” 243 pound junior tight end caught 56 receptions for 714 receiving yards (12.8 ypr. avg.) and 6 touchdown receptions during 10 starts in 2023—earning unanimous All-American First-Team honors and the John Mackey Award (the latter for a consecutive season).
As one of the best tight end prospects to come out in recent memory, Bowers features athleticism, speed, separation, and the ability to rack up yards after the catch that could make him a dynamic, versatile receiving option when deployed in Shane Steichen’s creative and innovative Colts offensive scheme.
When theoretically paired with 2nd-year quarterback Anthony Richardson, whose early development and growth could assuredly benefit from Bowers’ arrival—with his sure hands and ability to make plays down the seam and over the middle of the field, it would make the Indy offense all the more difficult to stop, especially when also factoring in Jonathan Taylor.
I’m all for it simply because the Colts could use another elite playmaker and explosive, big play weapon for Richardson to take this offense to the next level and newfound heights.
GEORGIA, Ga. (WALB) — A new bill introduced to the Georgia Senate could create a constitutional amendment to restrict voting to legal U.S. citizens.
The bill, Senate Resolution 4EX says, “No person who is not a citizen of the United States shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people.”
If passed, Georgians will vote on the constitutional amendment in the November election.
Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger said “I have been calling on the legislature for years to pass this amendment to the state constitution. I am glad to see the legislature finally act to ensure only American citizens are voting in our elections.”
According to Raffensperger, Georgia was the first state in the nation to conduct citizen verification of voter rolls. Since 2022, Raffensperger’s office conducted two citizenship audits of Georgia’s voter rolls.
SR 4EX Text
“Casting a vote is one of the most important elements of American citizenship. Any illegal vote dilutes the value of a citizen’s lawfully cast ballot. U.S. Citizens should decide Georgia elections. Period. I urge the legislature to pass this important legislation.”
The state uses information from the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to identify people who are non-citizens. This data is based on documents provided to DDS, through its REAL ID drivers licenses or state identification cards.
That information is also ran through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to verify an individual’s citizenship status.

The Oklahoma Sooners left no doubt in their 11-4 win over the Georgia Bulldogs to advance to the College World Series finals. It is OU’s second trip to the finals since 2022 but this one feels far more improbable.
A bubble team toward the end of the regular season and down 8-2 in an elimination game against Georgia Tech, Oklahoma has defied the odds and powered its way to the finals in Omaha. On Wednesday night, the Sooners hit five home runs against a Bulldogs team that led the nation in home runs per game this season.
Jason Walk got the home run party started, and Dasan Harris hit a pair of two-run bombs to help Oklahoma separate from one of the best teams in college baseball.
From the mound, freshman Nick Wesloski put together a strong performance for the Sooners, allowing just one earned run in 5.2 innings pitched. L.J. Mercurius worked 3.1 and allowed just one earned run against the vaunted Georgia offense.
Everything is clicking for Oklahoma heading into the finals, which begins on Saturday. They’ll face a good North Carolina Tar Heels for all the marbles. But before we get to the championship series, here’s a look at how social media reacted to the Sooners win over Georgia.
