Jalen Ramsey spotted at UCLA — fueling Steelers trade rumors due to DK Metcalf connection

Jalen Ramsey's UCLA training pic has gone viral after weeks of Steelers trade rumors and speculation.
UCLA Football posted several pictures of Ramsey's training session, which sent social media pages into a frenzy. Polymarket Football quickly speculated that the workout could be connected to DK Metcalf, as the Steelers wide receiver had his famous throwing session with Aaron Rodgers there.
Back in April, insider Ian Rapoport reported that the Dolphins and Ramsey had mutually agreed to seek trade options. Over the past several weeks, Ramsey has been connected to both the Rams and Steelers as potential landing spots for the three-time All-Pro corner — while HC Sean McVay claimed "obstacles" may prevent Los Angeles from acquiring him.
Steelers fans should take the now-viral UCLA workout speculation with a grain of salt, as Ramsey's choice of training facility being similar to that of Rodgers and Metcalf is likely coincidence — but it definitely adds more fuel to the rumored Pittsburgh trade narrative this offseason.

Oregon Ducks target Khary Adams announces college commitment
The Oregon Ducks have been recruiting 4-star cornerback Khary Adams strongly over the past few months, but on Friday afternoon, they got some unwanted news. Adams, the No. 36 player and No. 3 cornerback in the 2026 class, per 247Sports, announced his commitment to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. It appeared that this was the likely outcome over the past week, especially when Adams cancelled an official visit that he had planned to Eugene for this weekend. Adams stands at 6-foot-2, 175 pounds, and is from Towson, Maryland. It makes sense for him to stick closer to home at Notre Dame, but he would have been a significant win for Oregon had they been able to land him. This may not be the only win that Notre Dame gets over the Ducks on Friday in the recruiting world, either. 5-star safety Joey O'Brien is scheduled to announce his commitment later this afternoon, and the expectation is that the Oregon target is also going to end up committing to the Fighting Irish as well. While these are two unfortunate losses for the Ducks on the recruiting trail, they did get to celebrate a big win on Thursday, with 5-star safety Jett Washington joining Oregon's 2026 class. Washington is rated as the No. 18 player in the nation, and he becomes the No. 1-ranked safety to ever commit to the Ducks.

He also has offers from the top programs in the nation, including John Calipari and the Arkansas Razorbacks, while Kentucky, UCLA, and Kansas have all joined in on the Ariza sweepstakes. For what it's worth, his dad played college basketball for the Bruins, and they were the first team to offer Ariza. Advertisement Ariza now joins fellow five-star recruits Dylan Mingo, Jordan Smith, Caleb Holt, Anthony Thompson, Tyran Stokes, and Toni Bryant in receiving an offer from UNC basketball out of the class of 2026.

Big 12 basketball teams ranked by returning production entering 2025-26 season
The 2025-26 Big 12 basketball season continues to draw closer with teams planning their summer exhibition series and nonconference schedules being finalized. NBA draft prospects are either heading to the draft or returning to school after the deadline to declare passed in late May. The spring transfer portal is also in the rearview mirror meaning that most 2025-26 roster is finalized. Notable Big 12 players expected to be selected in the draft include Baylor's VJ Edgecombe and BYU's Egor Demin but plenty of other conference stars 12 stars will be back to dominate arguably the top conference in college basketball. CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein recently posted the Big 12's updated returning scoring numbers for the upcoming season. As is the case for football, returning production is a strong indicator of which teams will have success in the upcoming season. Despite the Big 12 sending the second-most teams to the 2025 NCAA tournament, the conference does not have a single team with more than 50% of their 2024-25 scoring returning. The transfer portal has complicated returning production due to several high-profile teams turning to the portal to replace departing stars. However, the stat still has value when looking at general preseason rankings and predictions. Here are Rothstein's returning scoring numbers for every Big 12 team entering 2025. Big 12 programs saw a lot of turnover following the 2024-25 seasons with no team returning more than half of their scoring production. Houston was the national runner-up, but even the Cougars won't have the same squad that nearly won the title last season. On the surface, these percentages would suggest more parity in the conference and perhaps more chances for sleeper teams to make a run. However, the transfer does deflate these numbers as top teams consistently add high-profile scorers that would not count towards returning production. Iowa State looks like a legit Big 12 contender after going 25-10 last season and Houston is not going anywhere setting the conference up for another hotly contested season. Some teams will be happy that their returning production is lower if they are looking to rebuild after a down year, Colorado, Arizona State and Oklahoma State are a few examples. However the Big 12 shakes out, it should be another wild basketball season. Follow Charlie Strella on X, Threads and Instagram.
