    NEW: Plenty of freshmen get off to fast starts. But for @hseubert2029 of @WHRHS_Athletics, she’s carrying on the family legacy of her dad, former @Giants SB winning OL @RichSeubert69 as 1 of N.J.’s top rookies all while blazing her own trail. More here:
    Her dad was a Giants all-time great. Now she’s one of N.J.’s best frosh softball players

    Also I don’t care that Houston won. I stand by UTSA being the best FBS team in Texas. Or at least the most exciting, bar none. Frank Harris is special, man. Must-see QB play every time out.

    My turn for a bit of Personal News ™️: Starting Monday, I’ll be going back to my roots and one of the places where it all started for me — the @HSSportsNJ team over at @njdotcom, one of the country’s best HS sports departments. Couldn’t be more excited to get started.

    I learned early in my career as a sports writer that it’s about the people. The truth is that’s a lesson that transcends journalism and the truth is I’ve had some truly great people in my life. My parting shot for @DailyCollegian:

    Great way to 🎓off a great four years. Thanks for everything @penn_state, though being an alumnus doesn’t feel like I thought it would.

    I've been spoiled covering @pennstateWREST these last four years and have never had to cover a program in limbo. Unfortunately that's not the case for other programs around the country. @KeepStanfordWRE needs everyone's support no matter who you root for

    Some personal news: I’m truly humbled to announce that I’ll be one of two people heading the sports dept for the @DailyCollegian this fall, serving as Assistant Sports Editor alongside Editor @DylJacob. The Collegian has a top notch sports staff and I’m hoping we raise the bar.

    Well well well. Quite the turn of events in the last few days. Regardless, this is great for Spencer and a great hire for Florida.

    Sources: Sean Spencer is expected to be the next defensive line coach at Florida. He’d recently been hired by Duke, spent the last two years with the Giants and has experience at Penn State and Vanderbilt.
