For multisport athlete Evelyn Murphy, fueling up for games often meant downing a protein bar packed with added sugar. “The more I looked around, I realized, ‘Oh my gosh, so many of these health food products are not as good as they’re advertised to be,’” she said. Now, she’s aiming to hit the sweet spot with simple, natural ingredients through her energy bites company, Energy by Evelyn. She took a gap year after high school to launch the business, starting out by cooking up the 1-ounce morsels in her Easton, Md., home, with flavors including chocolate, lemon ginger, and peanut butter and jelly. Once she’d made her first sales, she paid her parents, the owners of Smith Island Baking Co., a fraction of her profits to move production to their Crisfield, Md., facility. Now, the economics major and Banneker/Key scholar is excited to learn more about running a company from peers with similar goals, and she’s already been in touch with coaches and nutritionists on campus to bolster her business.

Maryland men’s basketball adds big man Tomislav Buljan from transfer portal

Buzz Williams has his first portal addition of the offseason. Croatian forward Tomislav Buljan, a New Mexico transfer, has committed to the Terps, Sam Kayser first reported Saturday.

Buljan was a 23-year-old freshman for the Lobos last season, and was one of the best big men in the Mountain West Conference. The 6-foot-9, 250-pounder averaged 13.1 points and 10.3 rebounds per game as a freshman, the only player in the MWC to average a double-double. That came with a conference-high four offensive boards per game. Buljan earned second-team All-Mountain West honors for the campaign.

Prior to American college, Buljan was just as successful in the Croatian Premijer liga, the country’s top level of professional basketball. He led the league in rebounding in 2024-25 with KK Cedevita Junior.

Buljan now joints a frontcourt where he’ll be expected to start next to Pharrel Payne, which instantly becomes one of the most physically daunting big man duos in the conference. He’s the first addition to Maryland’s 2026-27 squad — Isaiah Watts, Nick Blake, Aleks Alston and Jaziah Harper have departed in the portal.

Philadelphia car rally driver accused of hitting 2 separate troopers in Maryland

PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY, Md. (7News) — A Philadelphia man is facing charges after authorities said he hit two Maryland State troopers during illegal car rally events in Prince George’s County.

Isaiah Vega, 19, faces first-and second-degree assault and assault on a law enforcement officer, according to Maryland State Police (MSP). He is being held without bond.

Troopers struck during attempts to stop vehicle

The incidents date back to Nov. 16, 2025, when investigators with the Maryland Car Rally Task Force spotted a black Chrysler 300 without registration plates near MD 704 and Glenarden Parkway in Glenarden.

MSP officials said Vega fled during an attempted traffic stop and struck a trooper who was outside of his vehicle. That trooper was not hurt.

A short time later, officers found the same Chrysler at a gas station on Crain Highway in Bowie. During another attempt to stop the car, investigators say Vega hit another trooper before fleeing again.

The second trooper was taken to a hospital and later released.
