Can the Dolphins pass rush carry the defense – The Splash Zone 6/19/25
We have a little bit more than a month until Miami Dolphins training camp begins and their secondary is still a big question mark. With CB Jalen Ramsey expected to be traded sometime soon, the most proven cornerback on the team is Kader Kohou. The Dolphins have been talking to some veteran players and could possibly sign one of them before training camp begins. Or perhaps they’ll let the young guys develop and hope that their pass rush will be enough to help out. The Dolphins will get back Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb after both dealt with injuries last season. Plus the development Chop Robinson showed as the season went on left many fans excited to see his potential.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
Can Miami Dolphins’ Pass Rush Carry an Unproven Secondary in 2025?
The Dolphins are relying on a lot of young coverage players, but with Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb returning, the defense might have enough firepower to be effective.

The USC Trojans hosted class of 2026 recruit Breck Kolojay on an official recruiting visit last month. Kolojay has also gone on official visits to the Miami Hurricanes, Georgia Bulldogs, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Oklahoma Sooners.
Will Lincoln Riley be able to sway Kolojay away from his home state of Florida and move west to Los Angeles?
Breck Kolojay is a 6-5, 320 pound interior offensive lineman out of Bradenton, Florida. Kolojay is rated as a four-star recruit and ranked as the No. 20 interior offensive lineman in the class of 2026 per 247Sports Composite rankings.
Kolojay would be the seventh 2026 commit on the offensive line and the 32nd overall commit for this No. 1 ranked 2026 Trojans recruiting class. Chad Simmons of On3 says that Kolojay has began to narrow down that list of schools he has gone on official visits to, to four.
“We continue to hear about Georgia and Miami as major contenders, with USC now joining that conversation. Oklahoma isn’t going away, but the Sooners don’t seem to be in the same group as the Bulldogs, Hurricanes, and Trojans,” Simmons said. “USC has saved a spot for him on the offensive line as well. He is now one to watch in the coming weeks.”
Lincoln Riley has been busy when it comes to recruiting offensive lineman in the class of 2026. USC has already received the commitments from six 2026 offensive lineman; five-star offensive tackle Keenyi Pepe, four-star offensive tackle Vlad Dyakonov, three-star offensive tackle Kannon Smith, three-star offensive tackle Chase Deniz, four-star interior offensive lineman Esun Tafa, and four-star interior offensive lineman John Fifita.

Lincoln Riley’s time in Los Angeles as coach of the Trojans has not exactly been smooth sailing. Riley left Oklahoma for USC following the 2021 college football season and signed a 10-year contract worth $110 million.
Things got off to a great start in year one. Riley brought over Sooners quarterback Caleb Williams with him to Los Angeles. Williams starred for the Trojans, winning Heisman trophy and leading them to an 11-1 regular season. This was just one season removed from going 4-8. USC lost in the Pac-12 championship game ending their College Football Playoff hopes, but it was a still a very successful season.
Year two, USC took a major step back. Even with Williams back for one more season, the Trojans defense regressed to one of the worst units in the country. Williams was still very good, but didn’t reach the heights of the season before. They went 8-5. Williams was selected No. 1 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears.
USC’s defense was much improved in 2024, but that didn’t lead to more wins. They finished the season with a 7-6 record.
Will Riley’s 2026 recruiting class get USC back in title contention?
A teen was touched in “a lewd and lascivious manner” by a 78-year-old man after the suspect insisted he got into his car, police said.
The 15-year-old left his aunt’s house and was walking home when the suspect, Juan Carlos Medina, approached him in a gray Toyota Corolla, offering a ride, according to an arrest report.
According to police, the teen refused several times, but Medina was insistent, and because it was raining outside, he eventually accepted the offer.
After he got into the vehicle, the teen told police that Medina “began to do perverted things to him,” which included touching his leg, hand and almost his private areas.
At one point, Medina asked the teen how old he was, and when he learned of his age, said, “No, in that case I cannot.”
Additionally, Medina attempted to kiss the teen, who evaded it, removed his seatbelt and exited the vehicle.
Police tracked down Medina and his vehicle, and after a photographic line-up, the teen identified the suspect.
Medina has since been arrested and transported to TGK.

He was charged with lewd and lascivious conduct involving a child under 16 years old, with his bond yet to be set.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava is requesting regular access to the Alligator Alcatraz migrant detention facility, though she says she doesn’t intend to go alone.
“I have asked for my own monitoring access because I need a team of experts and I need to go in [on a] regular basis,” Levine Cava told CBS News Miami.
“So that is what I’ve asked for again in a letter to the director of the Division of Emergency Management today, and I hope I have an answer soon.”
The mayor’s request comes as state and federal lawmakers prepare to tour the remote facility this weekend, amid growing scrutiny over its conditions. Levine Cava has not yet been granted a scheduled visit.
Facility faces scrutiny
Located about an hour outside of Miami, the facility has drawn criticism from lawmakers and local officials who cite safety and transparency concerns.
Levine Cava said her concerns were initially referred to the Florida Division of Emergency Management by State Attorney General James Uthmeier. She emphasized the need for oversight from a professional monitoring team and expressed skepticism about the facility’s use of public funds.
“Not productive” spending, says mayor
When asked what troubles her most about the facility, Levine Cava responded, “I think we are spending money on things that are really not productive. We need to find pathways for those who are here contributing to our society, the vast majority are here with legal permission.”
Levine Cava also noted that the state seized control of the property from Miami-Dade County, raising further questions about local authority and oversight.
No response has yet been made public by the Florida Division of Emergency Management regarding the mayor’s latest request.
