2026 Rivals250 OT Grayson McKeogh commits to Notre Dame
Class of 2026 four-star offensive tackle Grayson McKeogh is Notre Dame bound. McKeogh announced his commitment to the Fighting Irish on Wednesday, after intially targeting July 1 for his decision date.
McKeogh is coming off of an official visit to Notre Dame this past weekend (June 13 through June 15).

Prior to that, he took an official visit to Penn State during the weekend of June 6 through June 8. McKeogh was also planning a trip to Texas this coming weekend (June 20 through June 22) for his official visit in Austin, but he will no longer make that trek after Notre Dame was able to secure his pledge.
The La Salle College High School (Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania) standout ranks as the No. 210 prospect overall in the Rivals250. He also ranks as the No. 4 recruit in the state of Pennsylvania and No. 23 offensive tackle in the 2026 cycle.
At Notre Dame, McKeogh will play under head coach Marcus Freeman, offensive coordinator/tight ends coach, Mike Denbrock, offensive line coach Joe Ruldoph and the rest of the staff.
While Notre Dame competes as an independent instead of in a conference, the Fighting Irish met the criteria in which McKeogh was searching for in a college program.

"The biggest things in my recruitment are athletic reputation, conference (or competition), academics and campus/social life," McKeogh previously told Rivals.com.
In addition to the schools mentioned, McKeogh has received scholarship offers from Alabama, Boston College, Duke, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina State, Northwestern, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Stanford, Syracuse, Tennessee, Wake Forest, West Virginia, Wisconsin and others.
The 6-foot-8, 280-pound McKeogh earned first-team All-State honors as a junior in 2024. He also plays basketball for La Salle. In the classroom, he carries a 4.14 grade point average.

With McKeogh joining the class, Notre Dame's 2026 class now includes 17 total pledges. McKeogh is the fifth offensive lineman in that group. He joins fellow four-stars Sullivan Garvin, Tyler Merrill, Ben Nichols and Gregory Patrick.
The Fighting Irish currently rank fifth in the national recruiting team rankings.

Did the Commanders have luck on their side in 2024?
Luck was a big factor in the Washington Commanders' 2024 success. Sam Fortier of The Washington Post told John Keim on Keim's podcast why he felt the Commanders were recipients of much luck last year, resulting in their 12-5 season. Advertisement Fortier began by saying he wasn't even including the one-score wins late, nor the low number of injuries suffered in 2024. He explained something regarding what is termed a "Luck Dashboard." Explaining it includes four things: dropped passes by an opponent, dropped interceptions by opponents, a reasonably easy missed kick (field goal/PAT) and when either team recovers a fumble, Fortier told Keim the Commanders were the luckiest team in 2024 since this metric was recorded, beginning in 2022. Commanders fans will recall Malik Nabers' easy drop, which allowed Washington to win the Week 2 game against the New York Giants. Had Nabers made the routine catch, the Giants would have held the ball longer, and the Commanders would have had less opportunity to even their record at 1-1. Starting the year 0-2 was certainly more than possible, and yes, Nabers makes that catch the vast majority of the time. But for some reason, he dropped the pass against the Commanders, providing them an opportunity to score, and they did, defeating the Giants. Fervent Commanders fans will also recall that in the home win over the Eagles, Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia quarterback, was injured in the first quarter, no doubt helping the Commanders' chances of winning the game (which they did). They will also recall that in the fourth quarter, Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith inexplicably dropped an easy reception, forcing the Eagles to kick a field goal. Had Smith made the easy reception, the Eagles would have maintained possession and chewed up much more of the clock on the Commanders. Advertisement Interestingly, Fortier told Keim that when he asked Commanders head coach Dan Quinn about luck, Quinn affirmed that he did indeed believe in luck. However, when Fortier asked starting center Tyler Biadasz, he responded, "I believe in five," referring to quarterback Jayden Daniels, of course. GM Adam Peters has worked hard to improve the roster, so perhaps this season the Commanders will not need as much luck as they were afforded in 2024. This article originally appeared on Commanders Wire: The Commanders were the beneficiary of luck last season.

🤨 In the middle of the match: Stadium suddenly empties at Club World Cup
🤨 In the middle of the match: Stadium suddenly empties at Club World Cup The reformed Club World Cup is not yet a big crowd puller. A completely empty stadium, even though there are still about 30 minutes to play, is extremely unusual. What's going on? Shortly after Palmeiras scored the 2:0 against Al Ahly, referee Anthony Taylor sent both teams off the field. Shortly after, the spectators were also asked to leave the stadium. Advertisement The weather is the reason. Although the sun was still shining brightly at the time of the interruption, severe thunderstorms are predicted for the venue New Jersey in the near future. The result is a ghostly view of the deserted MetLife Stadium. This measure has not been necessary for the first time. Already on Wednesday and Thursday night, two matches had to be temporarily interrupted for this reason. UPDATE: After about 50 minutes, today's match could be kicked off again. The feared thunderstorm did not occur. Safety first. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
