<p>The Arizona Cardinals selected two first team all-conference standouts with their first round picks in the 2024 <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/category/ohio-state-football/nfl-draft/">NFL Draft</a>.</p>



<p>Their first choice came No. 4 overall when choosing <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/ohio-state-buckeyes/">Ohio State</a> wide receiver <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/marvin-harrison-jr/">Marvin Harrison Jr.</a> The reigning Biletnikoff Award winner became the Buckeyes’ fourth receiver to hear his name called in the first round in the past three drafts.</p>

<p>Harrison will team up with former <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/missouri-tigers/">Missouri</a> defensive lineman <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/darius-robinson/">Darius Robinson</a>, who ended his Tigers career <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/2023/12/30/no-9-missouri-prevails-14-3-over-no-7-ohio-state-in-cotton-bowl-defensive-slugfest/">with a 14-3 Cotton Bowl victory over Ohio State last season</a>. Robinson reportedly wore his Cotton Bowl ring at their introductory press conference, and he said he and Harrison talked about it.</p>



<p>“I was telling Marvin we was glad he didn&#8217;t play,” Robinson said. “I mean, the whole week leading up, you see Ohio State, everybody say, &#8216;OK. Marvin Harrison,&#8217; and then we was like, &#8216;Is he going to play? Is he going to play?&#8217; He didn&#8217;t play, so you know, we lucked out, so.”</p>

<p>Harrison has long heard conversations about following in the footsteps of his father <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/marvin-harrison-sr/">Marvin Harrison Sr.</a> who is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame spending 13 years with the Indianapolis Colts.</p>



<p>Marvin Harrison Jr. became the most decorated wide receiver in Ohio State history after joining Terry Glenn in 1995 as the only Buckeyes to win college football’s top award for a receiver, and the new NFL rookie also is the only two-time All-American receiver in school history.</p>



<p>Marvin Harrison Jr. has embraced the pressure on the biggest stages, like the <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/college-football-playoff/">College Football Playoff</a>. Now at football’s highest level, he’s comfortable with working his way up.</p>



<p>“I mean, yeah, I have high standards for myself,” Marvin Harrison Jr. said. “But I&#8217;m just going to go in there and try to work the best I can. I just want to help the team win really, so. And whatever role I play come September I&#8217;m going to just do my best and do that role.”</p>



<p>Marvin Harrison Jr. said it’s “awesome” reuniting with former Buckeyes offensive tackle teammate Paris Johnson Jr., who the Cardinals selected No. 6 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. The former All-American wide receiver said it’s “kind of like two years in the making” as the two discussed the possibility of playing pro football together while at Ohio State.</p>



<p>“Hopefully when I score some touchdowns he raises me up in his arms like he used to do in college, so super excited to play with him,” Marvin Harrison Jr. said. “I mean, not only is he going to be a great teammate, but a great friend to have as well.”</p>



<p><strong>READ: </strong><a href="https://saturdayglory.com/2024/05/01/mac-offensive-player-of-the-year-peny-boone-to-transfer-to-ucf/">MAC Offensive Player of the Year Peny Boone to transfer to UCF</a></p>



<p>About he and his father’s reaction to April’s draft, Marvin Harrison Jr. said “I don’t think it’s hit both of us yet” that he was chosen No. 4 overall. He said there’s “no better role model, coach, mentor you could have” than his father when he grew up going down a similar path on the gridiron.</p>



<p>Arizona expects Marvin Harrison Jr. to be the team’s top receiver, and he expects to connect with former <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/oklahoma-sooners/">Oklahoma</a> <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/heisman-trophy/">Heisman Trophy</a>-winning quarterback Kyler Murray. Marvin Harrison Jr., who was a Heisman finalist last season after catching 1,211 yards and 14 touchdowns, said his work ethic that’s led him to the NFL will remain an integral part of his routine that could help him wind up in Canton.</p>



<p>“It&#8217;s just being a pro,” Marvin Harrison Jr. said. “It&#8217;s kind how I was raised and grew up to do, and I keep the same mindset, same attitude that I&#8217;ve had throughout my whole career, once I get here. Continue to work hard, be consistent and disciplined in all that I do, so looking forward to putting in the work.”</p>

<p>Like the previous two, offensive players began the third day of the NFL Draft with <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/texas-longhorns/">Texas</a> tight end <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/jatavion-sanders-2/">Ja’Tavion Sanders</a> going No. 101 overall to the Carolina Panthers and <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/troy-franklin/">Troy Franklin</a> reuniting with <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/oregon-ducks/">Oregon</a> quarterback <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/bo-nix/">Bo Nix</a> at No. 102 overall to the Denver Broncos.</p>



<p><strong>Spencer Rattler, Jordan Travis become first QBs taken since Round 1</strong></p>

<p><strong>Alabama’s Jaylen Key is Mr. Irrelevant</strong></p>



<p>Every year, the final pick of the draft is regarded as “Mr. Irrelevant.” It’s so widely recognized as a special selection that “Irrelevant Week” is an annual celebration that honors that last player picked in the draft recognized by the NFL, <a href="https://mrirrelevant.org/about">according to MrIrrelevant.org</a>.</p>

<p><a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/caleb-williams/">Caleb Williams</a> had a historic draft night on Thursday.</p>



<p>After the Chicago Bears chose the former <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/southern-california-trojans/">USC</a> <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/heisman-trophy/">Heisman Trophy</a>-winning quarterback No. 1 overall, many Williams jerseys sold quickly at Fanatics — so much so that it broke a draft night record.</p>



<p><strong>READ: </strong><a href="https://saturdayglory.com/2024/04/25/first-round-live-reaction-2024-nfl-draft/">First Round Live Reaction: 2024 NFL Draft</a></p>



<p><a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1783851429033066706">According to Adam Schefter of ESPN</a>, Williams “broke the Fanatics record for draft night merchandise sales for any draft pick in any sport, beating the previous record set last week by Caitlin Clark.”</p>



<p>Williams pointed to that record when asked about <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/2024/04/26/chicago-bears-draft-uscs-caleb-williams-no-1-overall/">processing all of the events transpiring in the past 24 hours for him</a>.</p>



<p>“I ended up — <a href="https://x.com/CALEBcsw/status/1783869896243175430">reposted it</a> saying, ‘Well I guess that’s Chicago for you,’” Williams said. “So that’s probably my answer to that is all the love and support. It’s strong. I’ve heard about it, and so to get it, to get some of that love and support, that early is really awesome, really exciting.”</p>

<p>It wasn’t a surprise that Williams went first in the <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/2024-nfl-draft/">2024 NFL Draft</a> to the Bears. While he collected All-<a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/pac-12-conference/">Pac 12 Conference</a> Honorable Mention passing for 3,633 yards and 30 touchdowns, Williams said he “watched the Bears a little bit more than I ever have” last year.</p>



<p>“The anticipation part I’ve been waiting on,” Williams said. “I’ve been waiting for that day — yesterday — and now that it came true I’m excited. But I got a couple other goals to hit over the next few years so I’m excited.”</p>



<p>A long list of goals is likely for Williams, who shouldn’t have trouble getting to work in Chicago.</p>



<p>Williams showed he could pick up quickly in a new environment during his college career. He arrived at <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/oklahoma-sooners/">Oklahoma</a> in 2021 earning the starting reins midseason before transferring with head coach <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/lincoln-riley/">Lincoln Riley</a> to USC in 2022. The Washington, D.C. native won the Heisman that season throwing for 4,537 yards and 42 touchdowns to five interceptions.</p>

<p>At USC Williams took the Trojans to the Pac-12 championship game and helped them reach as high as No. 4 in the <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/college-football-playoff/">College Football Playoff</a> rankings as a sophomore in 2022.</p>



<p>Williams knows the expectations will be different in the NFL. He’s been preparing for that workload, and he already has his focus set.</p>



<p>“Just do my job,” Williams said. “I’m always going to have scrutiny. I mean, I do things like — I paint my nails. I’m always going to have scrutiny over that. I wear funky clothes and things like that, so you know, just do my job on the football field. Win games. I think you win a bunch of games here, you’ll make a lot of people, a majority, happy.”</p>



<p>USC <a href="https://usctrojans.com/news/2024/4/25/football-uscs-caleb-williams-selected-as-no-1-overall-pick-by-chicago-bears-in-2024-nfl-draft.aspx">became the record holder</a> with six No. 1 draft picks after Williams’ selection. He joined Ron Yary in 1968, <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/o-j-simpson/">O.J. Simpson</a> in 1969, Ricky Bell in 1977, Keyshawn Johnson in 1996 and Carson Palmer in 2003.</p>

<p>Williams carried an intelligent approach throughout the lead up to the draft. He’s handled a strong work ethic proven to win games and hardware, and that’s something Williams hopes to continue to do, only this time in the NFL.</p>



<p>Williams said “it’s been a journey” navigating the draft process and becoming accustomed to the Bears. He also said he’ll start learning the playbook next week and he’s “excited” to get deeper into the X’s and O’s. The former All-American departs college football leaving a legacy at the quarterback position.</p>



<p>“It’s a team sport. That’s why I love the sport so much,” Williams said. “But you know, my reason to go out there is to win games. My reason why I play is to win games and championships, and so I want to be a big portion of it. I want to go out there. I want to have fun. I want to enjoy. I want to do it with my teammates, and so what better place to do it than the Chicago Bears?”</p>

<p><a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/texas-longhorns/">Texas</a> is coming off its first appearance in the <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/college-football-playoff/">College Football Playoff</a>, and head coach <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/steve-sarkisian/">Steve Sarkisian</a> and the Longhorns are working to return to the postseason amid their move to the <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/southeastern-conference/">Southeastern Conference</a>.</p>



<p>Sarkisian and the Longhorns <a href="https://texassports.com/news/2024/4/20/orange-defeats-white-35-34-in-football-spring-game.aspx">held their annual Orange-White Game on Saturday</a>, splitting the team into an intrasquad scrimmage and seeing Team Orange win 35-34 over Team White. Between their 37-31 defeat to <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/washington-huskies/">Washington</a> in the Sugar Bowl, managing roster construction and building during spring practice, Sarkisian said the Longhorns have looked for their identity for the 2024 season.</p>

<p>“Between a lot of these mid-year high school kids and the transfers that showed up in the program, we had to kind of recreate ourselves this spring,” Sarkisian said. “And I thought that the buy-in was there. I would say this, like, our practices were really competitive. And they were hard. And they were tough, and they were physical. But yet, they really were working with one another to try to get better, and to me that that sets us up for June. As you guys know, in June and July, we do a ton of culture work and that&#8217;s when we really start on that stuff. But man, I feel like we&#8217;ve almost got a head start on that because of the way they competed in spring.”</p>

<p>Texas took in several transfers since the offseason began, including <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/alabama-crimson-tide/">Alabama</a> wide receiver <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/isaiah-bond/">Isaiah Bond</a>. He impressed with 98 receiving yards across three catches, including a 75-yard touchdown thrown by redshirt freshman quarterback <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/arch-manning/">Arch Manning</a>. Bond, entering his junior year, caught 888 yards and five touchdowns with the Crimson Tide, and he figures to be a weapon for Longhorns starting quarterback <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/tag/quinn-ewers/">Quinn Ewers</a>.</p>



<p>Ewers played two series, and senior defensive lineman Alfred Collins returned a tipped pass 32 yards for a touchdown when Ewers was in the game. Texas’ returning third-year starting quarterback said gaining chemistry with new receivers was among his top priorities this spring.</p>



<p>“Some of the goals were obviously just needed to get to know those guys — a bunch of new faces in that room — and be able to connect on the field and even off the field,” Ewers said. “But I think as a whole that whole room did a great job of coming in this entire spring and really trying to put their head down whether that&#8217;d be learning the offense for some of these guys or continue to work on their routes for the guys that do know the offense and just come out each day. And again, just put their head down and go to work, so proud of those guys for that.”</p>



<p>Wide receivers senior Thatcher Milton had a 50-yard receiving touchdown, sophomore DeAndre Moore Jr. had 93 receiving yards and a touchdown, and freshman Ryan Wingo scored on a 56-yard touchdown.</p>

<p>Manning shined in the spring game. By halftime he’d gone 11-for-13 with 190 passing yards and two touchdowns eventually finishing with 335 yards and three scores.</p>



<p>“The biggest thing I saw from Arch was something that we kind of really harped on with him about a week and a half ago about just dialing into playing the play, keeping your eyes up, and I think I talked about this last week: when he gets himself in trouble at times at quarterback is when he relies on his athleticism, which he has a ton of and he can do, and there&#8217;s times today I blew the whistle on him,” Sarkisian said. “I don&#8217;t know if he was really happy with me that I blew it, but he&#8217;s noncontact. But when he keeps his eyes up and steps up in the pocket, and he can deliver those balls down the field the way we&#8217;d like to play. And so it was good to see and was good to see some of the guys around him play with him the way that they did.”</p>



<p>The Longhorns will begin summer workouts until the start of fall camp in August. They’re looking forward to opening the season against <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/colorado-state-rams/">Colorado State</a> at home on Aug. 31.</p>



<p>Texas will have an interesting schedule its first year in the Southeastern Conference. Sarkisian and the Longhorns will host <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/florida-gators/">Florida</a>, <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/georgia-bulldogs/">Georgia</a> and <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/kentucky-wildcats/">Kentucky</a>, and they’ll travel to <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/michigan-wolverines/">Michigan</a>, <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/oklahoma-sooners/">Oklahoma</a> and <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/texas-am-aggies/">Texas A&amp;M</a>.</p>

<p>The summer yields vital results when players focus on continuing their progress from the spring. Sarkisian said he’ll hold exit meetings with each player who’ll also meet with their position coaches. Sarkisian listed the defensive line and secondary among the areas he hopes the Longhorns can address this summer — as well as getting Texas back to the Playoff.</p>



<p>“What excited me today is that playmakers made plays, and that&#8217;s something that you try to recruit to, and how do playmakers make plays? You got to be effective at the line of scrimmage, right?” Sarkisian said. “I think that that we&#8217;ve got a lot of talent. We&#8217;ve got — there&#8217;s a lot of playmakers. We play a physical brand of football. But more importantly, I like the kind of energy of this team. They&#8217;re in it together, and they want to be really good. And when you as a coach, when you have a team that&#8217;s motivated to shoot towards a goal like you are, that&#8217;s what makes it exciting to come in every day and to tap into them and go to work.”</p>

<p>The <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/ncaa/">NCAA</a> and its Committee on Infractions panel <a href="https://www.ncaa.org/news/2024/4/19/media-center-violations-occurred-in-arizona-state-football-program.aspx">announced Friday</a> that it found Arizona State’s football program committed recruiting violations.</p>



<p>According to a release, <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/arizona-state-sun-devils/">Arizona State</a> and four individuals who worked for the football team reached an agreement with NCAA enforcement staff on violations that “included impermissible in-person recruiting contacts during the COVID-19 dead period, recruiting inducements, impermissible tryouts and tampering.”</p>

<p>Among the agreed-upon penalties “include four years of probation for the school, a fine, a self-imposed postseason ban for the 2023 football season, vacation of records for contests in which ineligible student-athletes competed, scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions in alignment with the Level I-mitigated classification for the school,” according to a release. Arizona State will also dissociate from a booster for five years.</p>



<p>The Sun Devils imposed a postseason ban on the program last season. They will be eligible for a bowl game in 2024.</p>



<p>&#8220;Arizona State&#8217;s cooperation throughout the investigation and processing of this case was exemplary, and the cooperation began with the leadership shown by the university president,&#8221; Executive Director of Athletics Compliance at <a href="https://saturdayglory.com/team-posts/oklahoma-sooners/">Oklahoma</a> and Chief Hearing Officer for the Committee on Infractions panel Jason Leonard stated in a release. &#8220;The school&#8217;s acceptance of responsibility and decision to self-impose meaningful core penalties is a  model for all schools to follow and is consistent with the expectations of the NCAA&#8217;s infractions program.&#8221;</p>

<p>The NCAA stated it found “the underlying violations demonstrated unethical conduct by involved individuals and a head coach responsibility violation.”</p>



<p>Two of the individuals “are contesting portions of their respective cases via written record hearing” after which the Committee on Infractions panel “will release its full decision,” according to the NCAA.</p>

<p>It just means more in the Southeastern Conference.</p>



<p>The SEC <a href="https://www.secsports.com/news/2024/03/sec-establishes-2025-football-schedule-format">announced its 2025 football scheduling format on Wednesday</a> and revealed that each team &#8220;will play eight conference games plus one required opponent from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 or major independent&#8221; much like in the upcoming 2024 season.</p>

<p>2024 will be a major year for the SEC. It will be the first with Oklahoma and Texas joining the conference from the Big 12, and it will also be the first year that the conference does away with divisions.</p>



<p>“We continue to monitor changes across college sports as they relate to future scheduling,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey stated in a release. “Continuing with our current format for the 2025 season provides additional time to understand the impact of the changes happening around us as we determine the appropriate long-term plan for SEC football scheduling.”</p>

</div></figure>



<p>The SEC Presidents and Chancellors followed a recommendation from conference athletics directors and approved the 2025 schedule format, according to a release.</p>

<p>Sankey and the SEC formatted it in a way that teams will play the same opponents in 2024 that they will in 2025, only the site will be changed to ensure &#8220;equal home and away competition over the course of the two seasons,&#8221; according to a release.</p>



<p>The SEC&#8217;s full schedule &#8220;will be announced at a later time,&#8221; according to a release.</p>

<p>One of the nation&#8217;s top uncommitted offensive tackle prospects is down to 10 schools. On Friday, Mobile (AL) Vigor standout Micah DeBose released his latest list cut with Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Mississippi State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and USC all making the cut for the four-star prospect.</p>
