Oregon Ducks junior outfielder Mason Neville is one of the top 25 college baseball players in the country after hitting .302, collected a .460 on-base percentage, and had a .809 slugging percentage (tied for No. 13 in the country) during the regular season. The winner for the Golden Spikes Award will be named on June 21.

As the leadoff batter, Neville is the nation’s leader in home runs at 26 to go along with 56 runs batted in, 52 walks (tied for No. 13 in the nation), and nine stolen bases for the Oregon Ducks. He set single-season program records in home runs and walks.

“If a pro team calls me and asks, I’m telling them, ‘Potential all-star.'”

Only six Oregon baseball players have been named semifinalists for the award: Thyler Anderson (2011), Alex Keudell (2012), Jimmie Sherfy (2013), David Peterson (2017) and Aaron Zavala (2021). No Oregon player has ever won the honor and Neville could make history as the first Duck to do so.

After a 3-0 weekend, Oregon rose in D1Baseball’s latest top 25 rankings. The Ducks moved up to No. 4 from No. 5 as conference tournaments and postseason play come into sight. No. 1 is LSU, No. 2 is Texas, No. 3 is North Carolina and No. 5 is Arkansas.

“He’s on time, he’s practicing hard, he’s doing the right things that are leading his athletic ability to be developed and grow. He’s crushing it in the weight room. He’s super athletic.”

– Mark Wasikowski on Mason Neville

Neville was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the 18th round of the MLB Draft in 2022 out of high school in Henderson, Nevada. The 6-3 leftie didn’t sign with the Reds and committed to the Arkansas Razorbacks instead. He then transferred to Oregon after the 2023 season.

“Mason Neville is one heck of a hitter, and I hope he wins the Golden Spikes. He’s got a real chance… When a hitter is in the zone, (the baseball) just looks like a beachball coming in there. It seems that’s kind of where (Neville) is at right now.”

Across college baseball, Oregon is tied for No. 4 in shutouts, No. 7 with 107 home runs, tied for No. 4 in shutouts, No. 14 in earned run average at 4.00, No. 16 in fielding percentage at 979, and No. 17 in slugging percentage at .531.

After finishing the regular season with a 41-13 overall record and 22-8 record in conference play, Oregon was named co-Big Ten Conference champions along with the UCLA Bruins. In the first full year in the Big Ten, Oregon’s athletic department has now captured eight conference championships (baseball, men’s track and field, football, softball, women’s cross country, men’s indoor track and field, women’s indoor track and field, women’s golf).

The Ducks were rewarded the No. 1 seed in the conference baseball tournament and will have the No. 8 Nebraska Cornhuskers and No. 12 Michigan State Spartans in their pool.

On Thursday, May 22, the Ducks will play the Spartans at 4 p.m. PT on the Big Ten Network. On Friday, May 23, the Ducks will play the Cornhuskers at 4 p.m. PT on the Big Ten Network. All games will be played at the Charles Schwab Field Omaha in Nebraska. The Ducks are entering the tournament on a 10-game winning streak.

Oregon is expected to host a regional at PK Park in Eugene. They have done so three times in its baseball history (2012, 2013, 2021) and have hosted a super regional two times (2012, 2023).

Tennessee Lawmakers Sign Bill Aimed at NIL Reform — How Will This Affect College Football?

Tennessee lawmakers have shocked the college sports world with a new law that could have a massive impact on NIL deals in the “Volunteer State.”

The law, introduced by the state, prohibits the NCAA from penalizing school athletes for NIL deals and shields schools from antitrust lawsuits, a common roadblock in today’s landscape.

New Tennessee Law Targets NCAA’s House Settlement Terms, Shields Schools From Antitrust Lawsuits

According to Tennessee’s New NIL Law (S.B. 536), the NCAA is prohibited from enforcing any rule, standard, or policy that restricts NIL compensation in a way that would violate state or federal antitrust law.

This means that if the House settlement suggests limiting NIL pay, such as a salary cap, those restrictions would only be valid if established by federal law, a valid court order, or proven exempt from antitrust law.

The law protects all Tennessee schools, athletes, and state agencies from being punished for alleged NCAA rule violations. The NCAA is required to indemnify Tennessee schools and athletes against any damages, losses, or claims that result from noncompliance with the law.

The law also allows Tennessee schools and their athletes to engage in NIL activities with collectives and third parties unless explicitly prohibited by federal law or court order. Because of this, schools might step in to help students directly organize athlete endorsement deals, which would conflict with the NCAA’s usual practices.

What’s At Stake for College Sports?

The passage of Tennessee’s NIL law could have far-reaching consequences. Other states may introduce their own laws to prevent schools within their borders from being affected by NCAA rules.

If this trend continues, the NCAA may have to modify its NIL policies or risk losing control over college athletics.

Additionally, the law raises questions about the future of antitrust litigation in college sports. The exemption from lawsuits given to schools in Tennessee could affect the outcome of other lawsuits nationwide.

With its new NIL law, Tennessee is effectively challenging the NCAA and opening up more NIL options for student-athletes.

The aftermath of the rush into NIL in Tennessee could reshape the guidelines for NIL and create a new era in college sports.

ESPN predicts Michigan basketball’s Yaxel Lendeborg’s draft status following combine

With the NBA Draft Combine in the books, Michigan fans are waiting word on what UAB transfer Yaxel Lendeborg is going to do. Will he come to Ann Arbor for a year and play under Dusty May, or will he stay in the draft and live out his dreams? June 15 is the deadline, and this could play out until then, but Lendeborg had a great combine according to plenty of scouts, and in ESPN’s post-combine mock draft, Lendeborg is a first-round pick.

ESPN has Lendeborg being selected by the Brooklyn Nets with the 26th pick. Last year with UAB, the big man averaged 17.7 points and nearly 12 rebounds per game. He showed off his range from deep and his athleticism during the NBA Draft Combine. But with a big NIL deal on the table from Michigan, the top-ranked transfer has a lot to think about.

“Lendeborg faced one of the highest-profile, stay-or-go decisions among prospects at the combine, measuring quite well and turning in a solid, if not spectacular, showing in scrimmages, with Michigan coach Dusty May and members of his staff in Chicago to support him,” wrote Woo. “NBA teams are aware Lendeborg has a multimillion-dollar NIL package to attend Michigan next season, and it wasn’t clear by the end of the week as to whether he had done enough to secure the type of guarantee that might keep him in the draft.

“He was highly productive last season at UAB and will step into a huge role with the Wolverines as the ostensible replacement for Wolf, giving him an opportunity to improve his draft stock if he withdraws now.”

If Lendeborg goes to Michigan next season, the Wolverines could be on the cusp of competing for a national title with one of the most skilled bigs in college basketball.
