'We wish him the best as he moves forward, he further added. No other details or specifics were given. The absence of a reason for dismissal has increased speculations among fans.

Clemson freshman Marquise Henderson dismissed from the team, per report
Clemson freshman Marquise Henderson dismissed from the team, per report Clemson freshman Marquise Henderson has been dismissed from the football program, the school announced Thursday, marking the first player Dabo Swinney has removed from the team since linebacker TJ Dudley was dismissed in 2023. 'Clemson has made the decision to dismiss Marquise Henderson from its program. We wish him the best as he moves forward,' a school spokesperson said in a statement. No reason was given for Henderson's dismissal, but he is expected to enter the NCAA transfer portal once he completes the necessary compliance steps. The Belton, S.C., native had only recently arrived on campus, enrolling in January 2025 after signing with Clemson as a four-star athlete in the 2024 recruiting class. Henderson was limited during spring practice due to a lingering hamstring injury. He did not participate in the spring game, and Swinney noted on April 5 that the team hadn't seen much of him. '(Practiced) like two days. Maybe? I do not know if he even got two full days in,' Swinney said. 'So, we do not know much about him… It is unfortunate.' Though he never played a snap at Clemson, Henderson came in with strong credentials. At Belton-Honea Path High School, he was one of South Carolina's top prospects. He rushed for a school-record 6,369 yards, averaged 11 yards per carry, and totaled nearly 8,000 all-purpose yards over four seasons. Henderson was rated the No. 4 player in the state and a top-200 national recruit, per the 247Sports Composite. With both NCAA portal windows for 2024 already closed, Henderson's eligibility status for this upcoming season remains unclear.

Las Vegas Raiders Make Final Training Camp Decision
Las Vegas Raiders Make Final Training Camp Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Las Vegas Raiders may have endured more change than any other NFL team this offseason. As such, their expectations are a bit of a mixed bag heading into the 2025 season. Advertisement With the offseason program over, meaning OTAs and mandatory minicamp have now been completed, the team has broke for the summer. They will return for training camp in July to begin the preseason program. Last year, the team spent training camp away from the team facility, opting for the Jack Hammett Sports Complex in Costa Mesa, California, instead. This year, new head coach Pete Carroll wanted to return to the team's previous home of Redwood Middle School in Napa, California, but the idea was shot down. On Wednesday, however, the Raiders officially announced their training camp location and schedule. Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Ward-Imagn Images The Raiders will hold training camp at the team facility in Henderson, Nevada, ahead of the 2025 NFL season. Rookies will report to camp on July 17, and veterans will report on July 22. Advertisement Las Vegas brought in a franchise-record 11 players during the 2025 NFL Draft, as well as roughly 15 undrafted free agents. The class is highlighted by running back Ashton Jeanty and wide receivers Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton, as well as cornerback Darien Porter. These players will look to continue building a rapport with veteran free agent additions like Geno Smith, Germaine Pratt, Elandon Roberts and Jeremy Chinn. This is a completely new-look Raiders team, vastly different from 2024's four-win roster. Fans will get their first chance to watch this version of the Silver and Black when they take the field for their first preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks on August 7. This will give Smith and new head coach Pete Carroll a chance to travel to their old city and take on their former team. Two more preseason games will be played on August 16 and 23 against the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals, respectively. A joint practice is expected to be held on August 14 against the 49ers.

Tents belonging to asylum seekers on Grand Canal slashed
Up to ten tents belonging to International Protection applicants were slashed at a makeshift camp on the Grand Canal in Dublin. Volunteers who support the men said their sleeping bags were also stolen yesterday, adding that they are growing increasingly concerned about the men's safety. Volunteer Catherine Hall said there had been around 17 men sleeping in tents on the banks of the Grand Canal the previous evening, and the camp had been tidied away the following morning. Some of those who had been rough sleeping on Tuesday evening were offered accommodation yesterday, but Ms Hall said a group of around eight or nine homeless IP applicants returned to the site yesterday evening to their tents slashed and their sleeping bags stolen. She said some of the men told the volunteers that "some guys came around threatening that they had to leave" earlier in the day. Ms Hall said the IP applicants had to sleep there again as there was nowhere else for them to go. However, she said they did not get much sleep, "because they were pretty anxious about the whole thing". She said there have been incidents of threats and intimidation before. She added that there are anti-immigration groups who have been "setting up these patrols, and they're basically looking to try and find where the guys are camping" and posting these videos on social media. Chief Executive of the Irish Refugee Council Nick Henderson said the charity is "deeply concerned about the situation of people seeking protection who are sleeping rough". "In recent weeks, there has been a tangible increase in risk: tents have been slashed, camping spaces fenced off, and social media posts have circulated showing tents being filmed, accompanied by inflammatory commentary and threatening symbols such as flames," Mr Henderson said. "In effect, the system requires people to sleep rough in order to demonstrate eligibility for accommodation, exposing them to serious harm. It also places enormous pressure on volunteers, who have supported people almost continuously for over two years," Mr Henderson added. He stressed that figures released in response to a parliamentary question show that 1,400 people were refused accommodation upon arrival in the first four months of this year. "While some may have been accommodated later, the fact remains: sleeping rough is never safe. We again call on the government to fulfil its legal obligations and support those seeking protection," he said.

Devery Henderson's 81-yard catch is the Saints Play of the Day
Devery Henderson's 81-yard catch is the Saints Play of the Day Henderson came through when the Saints needed a boost Our countdown to the start of the New Orleans Saints' 2025 season is on Day 81, which makes this 81-yard reception by Devery Henderson our pick for the Saints Play of the Day. With the Saints shorthanded on offense back in 2008 -- for this game, both Marques Colston and Jeremy Shockey were unavailable due to injuries -- it took a great effort from guys like Henderson, Lance Moore, and Robert Meachem to keep the Saints offense on schedule. And on this play, which you can see here, Henderson almost went the distance. Drew Brees found him open about 30 yards downfield and dropped the ball out where Henderson could grab it and where the San Francisco 49ers defenders behind him could only watch. Henderson did the rest, racing downfield and nearly scoring, only getting caught once he'd reached the San Francisco 7-yard line. Frustratingly, the Saints couldn't get out of their own way, and they lost a fumble while trying to for it on fourth down from the 1-yard line. But it didn't really matter. New Orleans had already built a 28-9 lead over the visitors to this point in the ballgame, late in the fourth quarter, and even a gutsy scoring drive from former Saints quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan (now leading the 49ers) couldn't make much of a difference. The Saints won the day, 31-17, and they continued to build momentum ahead of a fateful 2009 campaign. This was a big year for Henderson. The team's former 2004 second-round pick needed some time to find his footing, but he developed into one of the league's better deep threats. He led the NFL in yards per catch in 2006 (23.3) and again in 2008 (24.8), with his 81-yard grab being his second-longest play of the year. He ended up being a critical piece of that Super Bowl-winning team the next year, too.
