Some people hit the slots, the tables, the apps, spend what they can spend, and go home - or put the phone down. Not me. I'd wake up early in the morning, and the first thing I'd do was bet. I'd stay up late and bet. All day. All night. I had insomnia, so if I woke up in the middle of the night, phone next to the bed, I'd bet. Any little money I had, it was going straight to FanDuel.

LSU and coach Lane Kiffin closed a busy early signing period with a bang on Friday, officially securing the signature of defensive tackle Lamar Brown, ESPN's No. 1 overall 2026 recruit. Brown, the 6-foot-5, 285-pound defender from Erwinville, Louisiana, signed his letter of intent on the final day of the three-day period, the program announced, formally joining Kiffin and the Tigers as the program's first No. 1 overall addition since Leonard Fournette in 2014.

One such scouting report, which projected him as an early-round pick, listed his player comparison as none other than current Patriots teammate Stefon Diggs, who is a four-time Pro Bowler.

Haulcy, who transferred to LSU in May and was considered one of the top defensive players available in the portal, was suspended for a fight in his final regular-season game last year while playing for Houston. The news came as a surprise to No. 9 LSU, as team officials were not informed of the suspension until Wednesday, sources told ESPN. The suspension leaves LSU without a key member of its secondary in a road game against Clemson's Cade Klubnik, one of the country's top quarterbacks.

The New England Patriots signed offensive tackle Will Campbell to a fully guaranteed four-year, $43.66 million rookie contract with a signing bonus of $28.39 million.
