Texas
Jahdae Barron Impressed by Colorado State Star Offensive Duo
The Colorado State offense in 2023 wasn’t in particular, that good.
The Rams offense posted just 26 points a game last year, which might sound decent, but was only good for 8th in the Mountain West. Their mediocrity within the conference led to a 5-7 record on the season.
But while the stats might not strike out to you, one thing that doesn’t show up on the stat sheet is chemistry. And Colorado State has several returning offensive starters, 8 of the 11 starters to be exact, including QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi and wide receiver Tory Horton, who recently went viral for saying that they both turned down 600k in NIL money to leave Colorado State to win championships with the Rams.
And one thing that the Longhorns defense want to keep an eye on heading into this weekend’s matchup, is the air raid that the Rams offense had last year.
Fifth-year cornerback Jahdae Barron had some nice words for the Rams’ passing attack from last year. Despite what I said about the Rams’ average offense in 2023, the team landed first in the Mountain West for passing yards with over 300 passing yards a game, the only team to do so in the conference.
“It’s good for us as a program and as defensive backs,” Barron said. “They have a good quarterback and some good receivers like 14 (Tory Horton). They’re trying to get him the ball a lot.”
And get him the ball they did. Horton brought down 8 receptions a game last year (96 receptions in total) with 1,136 yards and 9 touchdowns, leading all receivers on the team in the three categories.
“(Horton’s) good in one-on-ones, the quarterback loves him for 50/50 balls and things like that,” Barron said. “They have a lot of plays that can get him open, or he’s going to get himself open. He’s competing at a high level right now, so it’s a good matchup for everybody.”
Barron also had some respectable words for the quarterback Fowler-Nicolsi, who is an Aledo, Texas native.
“The quarterback can throw, he can throw it off the back leg. He does a lot of great things and he’s an experienced quarterback,” Barron said.
Jahdae Barron is seen as a leader in the locker room. Barron is also a veteran of the team who has seen some upsets in his five years at Texas. With Texas having a -32.5 spread, it looks like Texas and the defense aren’t taking any chances and are preparing diligently for Colorado State this Saturday.
AUSTIN, Texas (KBTX) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has notified the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) that two Texas residents were passengers on the MV Hondius, a ship that experienced an outbreak of hantavirus while traveling in the Atlantic Ocean. The passengers left the ship and returned to the United States before the outbreak was identified.
“Public health workers in Texas have reached the two individuals, and they report they are not experiencing any symptoms and did not have any contact with a sick person while aboard the ship. They have agreed to monitor themselves for symptoms with daily temperature checks and contact public health officials at any sign of a possible illness,” the agency said on Thursday in a statement.
DSHS will not release additional personal details about the passengers to protect their privacy.
“This is not the next COVID, but it is a serious infectious disease,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness at the World Health Organization. “Most people will never be exposed to this.”
More than two dozen people from at least 12 different countries left the ship without contact tracing nearly two weeks after the first passenger died on board.
Health authorities on at least four continents are now tracking down and in some cases monitoring the cruise passengers who disembarked on April 24, and trying to trace others who may have come into contact with them since then.
That includes two people in Georgia who are also being monitored, according to our affiliate WTOC.
Hantaviruses are usually spread through contact with wild rodent droppings or urine. The strain in the Hondius outbreak, Andes virus, can spread from person to person in limited circumstances. It typically requires close, prolonged contact with a person who is actively sick with the disease.
It is not known to spread through casual contact such as shaking hands or being in the same room for a few minutes. There have been no documented cases where a person without symptoms spread it to someone else.

PORTLAND (WGME) – A Portland woman who has been held in a Texas ICE facility for more than six months is reportedly set to be released by Friday.
That’s according to Maine Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, who traveled to the facility this week to demand that ICE release 19-year-old Olivia Andre.
Pingree says a federal district court judge ordered Andre to be released no later than Friday.
Andre and her family were arrested by ICE when they were seeking asylum in Canada.
DHS previously said Andre is in the United States illegally but didn’t explain why the rest of her family was released and she wasn’t.
Pingree called the conditions at the facility inhumane, and Andre’s lawyer says her physical and mental wellbeing deteriorated from not having access to clean drinking water, palatable food and appropriate medical care.
“Olivia and her family should never have been detained. The federal court ordered her release because the Trump administration had no lawful basis for detaining her,” Pingree said. “She suffered in detention for six months in violation of federal law and the U.S. Constitution’s protections.”
