DULUTH — Shattuck St. Mary’s forward
Rennick Hendrickson announced his commitment to the Minnesota Duluth men’s hockey program
Wednesday, becoming the first from the high school graduating class of 2027
to join the Bulldogs.
Hockey players entering their junior year of high school became eligible on Aug. 1 to take official visits to schools
and make verbal commitments.
Hendrickson, 16, of Excelsior,
is the son of former Minnesota Wild player and longtime assistant coach
Darby Hendrickson.
Rennick has two older brothers already playing college hockey. His oldest brother,
Mason,
is entering his senior year at NCAA Division III Gustavus Adolphus in 2025-26 while Beckett —
a 20-year-old 2023 Boston Bruins draft pick
— will be a sophomore at Minnesota this fall.
Rennick Hendrickson, at 5-foot-11, 152 pounds, played bantams in Minnetonka before enrolling at Shattuck. He had 10 goals and 23 assists in 54 with Shattuck’s U16 AAA team last season en route to a national championship. Before that, he finished with 11 goals and 34 assists in 57 games with Shattuck’s U15 AAA team in 2023-24.
The Bulldogs now have two from Shattuck, the legendary hockey academy in Faribault,
committed for the future
along with 17-year-old forward
Luke Puchner,
who played on the prep team last season.
UMD is bringing in
a Shattuck alum this season in forward Daniel Shlaine, who last played in Faribault in 2023-24. He spent last season with the Lincoln Stars of the USHL.
The Dubuque Fighting Saints own Rennick Hendrickson’s rights in the USHL.

Senate hearing discusses benefits, drawbacks of establishing data centers in Pennsylvania
WILKES-BARRE — Following Monday’s Senate hearing, Sen. Dave Argall said there are many questions about the rapid increase of data centers, as evidenced by the more than 300 people who attended or watched online. “Why are so many new centers needed? Why locate in Pennsylvania? How could this affect my neighborhood? Our goal today […]
WILKES-BARRE — Following Monday’s Senate hearing, Sen. Dave Argall said there are many questions about the rapid increase of data centers, as evidenced by the more than 300 people who attended or watched online.
“Why are so many new centers needed? Why locate in Pennsylvania? How could this affect my neighborhood? Our goal today was to answer as many of these questions as we possibly could,” Argall said.
As the development of new data centers accelerates throughout Pennsylvania, Argall, R-Pottsville, and Sen. Rosemary Brown, R-Monroe County, hosted a public hearing of the Senate Majority Policy Committee to review the potential impacts on nearby communities and the economy.
“I have heard from many residents who felt they lacked clear information about data centers and their potential impact on our community,” Brown said. “The hearing addressed that need directly,” said Brown. “I requested this hearing to ensure that reliable, factual information was accessible to our community.”
The hearing gathered economic development organizations, utilities, environmental commissions, municipal associations and other stakeholder groups for a discussion on the benefits and drawbacks of establishing data centers in Pennsylvania.
Energy and water resources
One panel focused on two of the widely cited concerns with operating data centers — the demands on local electrical grids and watersheds.
Christine M. Martin, president of PPL Electric Utilities, shared that summer peak energy demand will double in five to six years because of the growth of data centers.
“In practical terms, we are doubling the energy demand that took more than 100 years to reach,” said Martin.
She noted that infrastructure improvements and legislative changes to maximize the efficiency of the transmission grid are key to ensuring reliable electricity for all.
She also stated that PPL customers may see decreased transmission costs because of new large-load customers.
“Data centers represent a significant opportunity for Pennsylvania, supporting job growth and economic development, and technological advancement,” Martin said. “In addition, these load additions have the potential to drive down costs for all existing customers, while enhancing reliability through infrastructure improvements.”
Martin said Pennsylvania is uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of data center expansion. Our Commonwealth offers a rare combination of natural resources, critical infrastructure, and business use proximity to major population centers.
“Additionally, our state’s skilled workforce and elite research institutions make us a magnet for innovation and talent,” Martin said. “This surge in growth requires a modern, resilient power grid that is ready to meet the needs of Pennsylvanians today and for generations to come.”
Martin said PPL’s investments are about more than just wires and substations — they directly benefit our customers by enhancing reliability, driving down costs and delivering a grid that can power opportunity for households, communities and businesses.
Economic development
Another panel featured employers and economic development organizations.
Merle Madrid, Senior Manager of Public Policy for Amazon Web Services (AWS), discussed AWS’ plans to invest $20 billion and create at least 1,250 new jobs in Pennsylvania.
Madrid said AWS is the cloud computing arm of Amazon.
In June, AWS announced plans to invest $20 billion in Pennsylvania to expand its data center infrastructure supporting artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing technologies.
He said Salem Township in Luzerne County, and Falls Township in Bucks County are the first two communities that have been announced as sites for these future data center campuses. He said additional Pennsylvania communities are under consideration, and we anticipate making those announcements at a later date.
The new high-skilled jobs will range from data center engineers and network specialists, to engineering operations managers, security specialists, and many more technical roles.
In addition to these direct positions, this planned investment is expected to support thousands of local construction jobs and businesses in the data center supply chain, as well as other jobs in the local community.
“We’re constantly innovating our data center designs and operations to reduce their impact on the environment and community, working to power them with carbon-free energy, and making them more energy and water efficient,” Madrid said. “First and foremost, the most efficient watt of energy is the watt you never use. So, you make sure that every level of the infrastructure is being utilized optimally.”
Madrid said AWS’ investment in the new Salem Township data center campus, for example, includes significant financial support for the neighboring Susquehanna nuclear power plant, owned and operated by Talen Energy.
He said the Talen and Amazon relationship will ensure that safe, reliable nuclear energy continues to be generated at Susquehanna for years to come, maintaining its contributions to the local community and supporting Pennsylvania’s energy future while also powering Amazon’s AI innovation commitments in the commonwealth.
Local impact
The final two panels focused on the potential positive and negative impacts data centers could have on nearby communities.
John Yudichak, president of Luzerne County Community College, provided an update on the Pennsylvania Commission for Community Colleges’ work to prepare for the workforce needs that come with new data centers.
“To meet the demands of data center development in Pennsylvania, community colleges are collaborating and combining resources like never before to build a new and historic Technology and Trades Workforce Consortium,” said Yudichak.

LOUISVILLE – Sun Devil Football’s Jalen Moss is the latest Sun Devil to earn a spot on a national award preseason watch list.
Forty-six players representing schools in nine conferences have been selected for the 2025 Paul Hornung Award preseason watch list. Arizona State wide receiver Jalen Moss is one of the candidates, adding to the growing list of Sun Devils to receive preseason honors heading into the 2025 campaign.
Now in its 16th season, the Paul Hornung Award is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission in memory of the late football legend Paul Hornung. The winner and his family will be honored at the annual Paul Hornung Award dinner in March 2026 at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Ky.
Moss is in a position to contribute heavily in Tempe after two outstanding seasons at Fresno State. He served as both a go-to wide receiver as well as a dynamic punt returner in 2024, impacting the game in many ways with the ball in his hands. This is the second consecutive year that the Hornung Award preseason watch list included a Sun Devil, with running back Cam Skattebo earning the distinction prior to last season.
The Big 12, ACC, and Big 10 each landed eight players on the Watch List, with the SEC getting seven; followed by the American Conference with six; the MAC with three; and CUSA, the Mountain West and the Sun Belt with two each. The players represent 46 different schools and last season combined for more than 42,000 total yards and 266 touchdowns rushing, receiving, passing and returning kicks and punts. The majority of the players on the Watch List play offensive skill positions and are return specialists; three players are defensive backs and return specialists; and there are several players who play both offense and defense.
View the Hornung Award preseason watch list
Award process
The 2025 Watch List was compiled by a panel of college football experts based on a combination of statistics, career performance, SID recommendations and expectations heading into the 2025 season. Throughout the regular season, the Paul Hornung Award Weekly Honor Roll will recognize players whose performances meet the Award’s criteria. Players named to the Watch List and the Weekly Honor Roll are eligible to win the Award.
Selection timeline
The Louisville Sports Commission successfully launched the Paul Hornung Award in 2010 to honor its namesake and native son, and to promote outstanding performances by versatile college football players who often go unnoticed. Texas Roadhouse signed on as presenting sponsor of the Paul Hornung Award in 2011 and will partner with the Louisville Sports Commission to power fan voting again this season. College football fans nationwide will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite player during the regular season and again during the bowl season. Fan voting will open in late September and factor into the selection of the finalists and winner. The winner and his family will be honored at the annual Paul Hornung Award dinner in March 2026 at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville, Ky.
About the Hornung Award
The mission of the Paul Hornung Award presented by Texas Roadhouse is to recognize and reward versatile, high-level performers in major college football (Football Bowl Subdivision team member); to help preserve the legacy of one of Louisville’s native sons and sports icons; and to promote Louisville as a great sports town.
The award is given annually by the Louisville Sports Commission (LSC) to the most versatile player in major college football. The Award was created by the LSC in January 2010 with the support of the Golden Boy himself, Paul Hornung, a native and lifelong resident of Louisville and member of the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame.
Hornung is considered by many the most versatile player in the history of college and pro football. He won the 1956 Heisman Trophy at quarterback for Notre Dame and was the number one pick in the 1957 NFL draft. He played every position in the backfield during his career with the Irish, where he also punted, kicked, returned kicks, and played defensive back.

Butkus Award preseason watch list
Sun Devil Football’s Keyshaun Elliott is considered one of the top linebackers in the country heading into the 2025 season. The Butkus Foundation released the preseason watch list for the 41st annual collegiate Butkus Award, honoring the nation’s top linebacker. The 51-player list pays tribute to Dick Butkus’ iconic No. 51 jersey, worn during his Hall of Fame career as the most feared defender in football history. One of the initial candidates is Arizona State linebacker Keyshaun Elliott. He is the latest Sun Devil to land on a preseason award watch list. Elliott has emerged as one of the elite players at his position and a leader of the Sun Devil defense. He is looking to become the program’s first Butkus Award winner.
AP Preseason Top-25
Sun Devil Football has been ranked No. 11 by the Associated Press in their 2025 preseason college football rankings. The buzz surrounding Arizona State continues as the AP Preseason Top-25 Poll features the Sun Devils at No. 11. It is the highest ASU has been ranked in the preseason since coming in at No. 8 prior to the 1998 season. Of the four Big 12 programs in the initial poll, Arizona State is the top-ranked team from the league. The 2024 Big 12 Champions finished at No. 7 in the final AP Poll of the 2024 season.
Jim Thorpe Award preseason watch list
The Football Writers Association of America listed Xavion Alford on the Jim Thorpe Award Preseason Watch List. The Jim Thorpe Award is given to the best defensive back in college football based on performance on the field, athletic ability and character. Alford is receiving plenty of buzz heading into the 2025 season, adding yet another accolade. He was named to the Preseason Big 12 All-Conference Team earlier in the offseason and is considered one of the nation’s top returning defensive backs.
C.J. Fite on two preseason watch lists
The Football Writers Association of America listed Fite on both their Bronko Nagurski and Outland Trophy Watch Lists. The Nagurski Trophy recognizes the national defensive player of the year, while the Outland is presented to the nation’s best interior lineman (offensive or defensive). Fite is one of only eight individuals to land on both lists.
Maxwell Award preseason watch list
The Maxwell Football Club announced its watch list for the 89th Maxwell Award and Sun Devil Football has a pair of representatives. Quarterback Sam Leavitt and wide receiver Jordyn Tyson are each candidates for the annual award given to the most outstanding player in college football. The Maxwell Award has been presented to the College Player of the Year since 1937 and is named in honor of Robert “Tiny” Maxwell who was a former standout at Swarthmore College and a renowned sportswriter and football official.
Leavitt and Tyson are one of only 17 pairs of teammates to land on the Preseason Maxwell Award Watch List. The tandem is considered one of the best quarterback-wide receiver combinations in the country heading into the 2025 season and national outlets continue to take notice.
2025 Dodd Trophy preseason watch list
Sun Devil Football Head Coach Kenny Dillingham was named to the preseason watch list for the 2025 Dodd Trophy. The Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Peach Bowl, Inc. released the initial candidates for the 2025 Dodd Trophy Presented by PNC Bank. This year’s list includes 26 of the nation’s top college football coaches, highlighted by Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham.
Dillingham was a finalist for the 2024 Dodd Trophy after leading the Sun Devils to a historic 11-3 season which culminated in a Big 12 Championship, Peach Bowl Appearance, and berth in the College Football Playoff. He was named 2024 Big 12 Coach of the Year for his efforts and is once again being considered as one of the top coaches entering the 2025 season.

Conferences can ask for reviews for game misconduct penalties in men’s and women’s ice hockey
Story Links An NCAA Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey Rules Committee proposal to extend a review option to game misconduct penalties was approved Wednesday for the 2025-26 season.

An NCAA Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey Rules Committee proposal to extend a review option to game misconduct penalties was approved Wednesday for the 2025-26 season.
Last season, a conference was able to request a review by the NCAA secretary-rules editor and national coordinator of officials for possible adjustment. This process was used rarely, but in those instances, it was successful and corrected a handful of decisions. Committee members think this should extend to the game misconduct penalties, which have a progressive component and essentially the same rationale of fairness to the student-athlete.
The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved the change today.
PROP approved three other ice hockey proposals for the 2025-26 season:
Face mask penalty
Adjustments to the face mask rule’s penalty structure include:
- A minor penalty for intentionally placing the hand on the mask and pushing the face mask of an opponent.
- A minor penalty for moving an open hand back and forth across an opponent’s face mask (previously a major penalty).
- Major penalty and either a game misconduct or game disqualification at the referee’s discretion for a player grasping and pulling or twisting to control an opponent’s face mask.
Major penalty review options
When the on-ice officials are planning to enforce a major penalty, a replay review must be conducted in games that have instant replay. The panel approved adjusting the rule regarding video reviews of major penalties. After the review, on-ice officials will have three options:
- Confirm a major penalty.
- Reduce the major penalty to a minor penalty.
- Remove the penalty completely, if warranted by the video review.
Teams are not permitted to challenge the result of the review.
High-sticking the puck
The panel approved clarifying the rule on high-sticking the puck by separating the scoring of a goal (puck may not be played higher than 4 feet, which is the height of the crossbar) and all other plays (puck may not be played higher than above a player’s shoulder, which is defined as that player’s normal standing height). This is an adjustment from last season, when the rule did not include the “player’s normal standing height.”

BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Baylor soccer will start the 2025 athletics calendar at Texas A&M’s Ellis Field on Thursday evening. Kickoff against the Aggies is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., with coverage live on SEC Network+ with David Ellis and Jeff Given on the call.
The Bears’ roster, led by fourth-year head coach Michelle Lenard, returns five starters from the 2024 campaign that ended with an 8-8-5 record in the Big 12 Championship quarterfinal.
Tyler Isgrig, in her third year wearing the green and gold, was named Preseason All-Big 12 for the second-consecutive season. The graduate student led Baylor in goals (seven) and assists (eight) last season, with four of those goals coming in the rugged Big 12 Conference slate.
Last out against Texas A&M in late August of 2024, the Bears took the 1-0 victory from the Aggies at Betty Lou Mays Field. Isgrig scored the lone goal, and Azul Alvarez tallied one save. BU outshot A&M 12-8 before Isgrig found the net in the 85th minute. Baylor moved to 5-14-3 against the former cross-conference foes in the program’s first win over TAMU since 2000.
The road match is the first of three straight to open the season, as Baylor will head to Montana for a pair of games against Denver and Montana next Thursday and Sunday. Mississippi State will open the home slate on August 28 at 7 p.m. 2025 matches at Betty Lou will now feature free admission for all fans.

Rahsul Faison’s playing status for the 2025 college football season remains uncertain. The transfer running back does not know if he’ll be on the field for the first game.
The NCAA has yet to make a decision amid an ongoing eligibility review for the coming year. He’s now dropped new merch targeted at the association in hopes of getting his case decided.
Faison is expected to be the Gamecocks‘ starting tailback if available. Right now, that’s a big “if.”
South Carolina is 18 days out from its season opener against Virginia Tech in Atlanta. Despite beginning the transfer process in January, his situation drags on.
Rahsul Faison is in transfer portal purgatory.
The running back left Utah State after two seasons to move into the SEC. In 2024, he ran for more than 1,100 yards while scoring eight touchdowns.
South Carolina lost starting rusher Rocket Sanders after the ’24 campaign. Faison was expected to fill the void.
He officially transferred to the school January. Since, he’s been given the run-around by the NCAA.
The running back is entering his 7th season.
Rahsul Faison’s college path has been atypical. He initially signed with Marshall in 2019 where he was given a grayshirt (delayed enrollment).
He later moved onto Lackawanna College in 2020 where he did not play football, and then to Snow Junior College where he sat out his first season.
It wasn’t until his second year at Snow, and his third year removed from Marshall, that he saw the field for the first time as a college player.
Rahsul Faison timeline
2019: Marshall – grayshirt
2020: Lackawanna – did not play
2021: Snow – no game action
2022: Snow
2023: Utah State
2024: Utah State
In 2023, he signed with Utah State. Now, he’s at his fifth school in seven years.
The Gamecocks are hoping Faison is granted a fourth season of action as his five-year NCAA window has passed. They have submitted the paperwork, but have yet to receive an answer.
Rahsul Faison is speaking out.
The situation has been frustrating all around for the Gamecocks, who are less than three weeks away from the season opener. The NCAA has not given them an answer.
Shane Beamer called the association out in the spring as it handcuffed his ability to effectively manage his roster. With no response on Faison’s status, South Carolina chose not to add a running back in the spring transfer portal window.
Should, Faison eventually be ruled ineligible, that could prove costly.
The running back, who has since lawyered up, has been actively using the hashtag #FreeSul on social media in hopes of forcing the NCAA’s hand. He’s now taken it a step further with new merchandise.
It remains to be seen if the merchandise drop will impact his case. The NCAA continues to move slowly in its decision making.
South Carolina hopes that Faison is available for Week 1 against Virginia Tech. They’ll be on the lookout for an answer one way or the other in the coming days.
