Former Texas standout Mike Cotten died Saturday after a brief illness, the university announced Sunday. He was 84.

The Longhorns qualified for the Cotton Bowl and beat Ole Miss 12-7 with Cotten named the game's most outstanding player. Cotten was inducted into the Texas Athletics Hall of Honor in 1981. --Field Level Media

Career quarterback Malik Cunningham's future with the Baltimore Ravens is at wide receiver, as the team made it official during OTAs the past week. The Ravens had claimed Cunningham, then a rookie, off the New England Patriots' practice squad in December 2023. The intention was that he would develop into a backup at QB for fellow Louisville product Lamar Jackson, now a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player award winner. Cunningham, 25, had played six snaps at QB in one game for New England, which had moved the former undrafted free agent between the practice squad and active roster while trying to settle its quarterback situation. He took four snaps in one game for Baltimore last season and has yet to throw a pass. Baltimore's QB room includes Jackson, 38-year-old journeyman Josh Johnson, sixth-round draft pick Devin Leary and undrafted free agent Emory Jones. The Ravens' receiving corps includes veterans Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor as well as fourth-round pick Devontez Walker. In five seasons at Louisville from 2018-22, Cunningham threw for 9,664 yards and 70 touchdowns and ran for 3,182 yards and 50 touchdowns. He and Jackson share the school record for most rushing scores. --Field Level Media

NASCAR star Kyle Larson planned to remain at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and make his debut in a rain-delayed Indianapolis 500, rather than pulling out of the race early and flying to Charlotte for the Cup Series race there Sunday night. Larson was attempting to become the fifth driver to do “The Double” by running the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 in the same day. But that was thrown into doubt when a heavy storm hit the speedway. Justin Allgaier was on standby in Charlotte to run the No. 5 car in his place for Hendrick Motorsports. Larson is starting fifth in the Indy 500 in a joint effort for Hendrick and Arrow McLaren.

Former Georgia Tech guard Miles Kelly is transferring to Auburn, he announced Sunday via social media. "WAR EAGLE," he wrote. "LETS DO IT!"

He was selected All-Atlantic Coast Conference honorable mention. Kelly, a Georgia native, was the team's leading scorer (14.4 points per game) as a sophomore. He is the third transfer to commit to coach Bruce Pearl's Tigers this offseason, joining JP Pegues from Furman and Ja'Heim Hudson from SMU. --Field Level Media

UCLA is adding four-star quarterback Madden Iamaleava to its 2025 recruiting class. Iamaleava plays at Warren High School in Downey, Calif., about 30 miles from the UCLA campus, where he threw for 3,626 yards and 43 touchdowns in 13 games in his junior season. The 247Sports composite ranks him as the No. 11 quarterback in the nation. Iamaleava told 247Sports that UCLA and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy had a leg up in his recruiting, despite a late offer from Oregon and offers from programs including Auburn and Washington. "UCLA was my childhood favorite school," Iamaleava told the outlet. "I love the new staff and fit the offense really well. Eric Bieniemy recruited me really hard and spent a lot of time with me getting to know me as a person, not just as a QB. "He's a great offensive mind and someone I know I can learn a lot from. He's worked with some great QBs in the past and I think he can help me get to the next level and that's always the dream." The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Iamaleava is the younger brother of Nico Iamaleava, the projected starting quarterback at Tennessee. --Field Level Media

Cornerback Mark Zackery IV committed to Notre Dame's 2025 class on Saturday, keeping a four-star in-state prospect at home. Zackery is ranked by the 247Sports composite as the No. 15 cornerback in the class. He plays at Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis. Zackery told the Indianapolis Star that he was sure of his decision, despite a number of Power Five suitors. "I was going to wait it out to take official visits just to have that experience," he said, "but I felt like there was no need for me to go to the other places when I know where my heart is and where I want to be. I know things change and there's a lot going on with the transfer portal and things like that, but Notre Dame feels like the place for me." The 6-foot Zackery played both offense and defense for Ben Davis last season when the school won the Class 6A state championship but projects as a college cornerback. He also plays basketball at Ben Davis and will enroll at Notre Dame in June so that he can have another hoops season. Will he be a two-sport participant for Notre Dame? "I've been talking to (Notre Dame basketball coach Micah Shrewsberry) about possibly playing basketball, too," Zackery told the newspaper. "That's something to take into consideration. But very slowly with that because I know it's a big load in college. But it's something to take into consideration because basketball means a lot to me." Notre Dame currently has the No. 1 class in the 2025 recruiting cycle, as ranked by 247Sports. The ranking is based on bulk. The Irish have 22 commits while the No. 2 program, Ohio State, has 12, including three five-star prospects. --Field Level Media

The Pac-12 Network signed off from a live broadcast for the final time late Friday as the conference will cease to exist in advance of the 2024-25 school year. Roxy Bernstein, one of the network's original broadcasters going back to 2012, delivered a heartfelt message for both the network and his personal journey. Bernstein was a Cal grad who started as the Golden Bears' basketball play-by-play announcer before moving to the conference's television network. "Tonight, I have the honor and the responsibility to say goodbye because this is the final broadcast on Pac-12 Network" Bernstein said. According to the San Jose Mercury News, the network will run previously aired content until June 30 and then cease operation. The production studio, moved from San Francisco to nearby San Ramon, will remain in operation in case it is needed "to assist Washington State and Oregon State." The two Pacific Northwest schools were the only two that did not leave the Pac-12 for a different conference on their own. Both were forced to depart, though, and will be affiliate members of the West Coast Conference for the next two academic years. Washington State and Oregon State also have a scheduling agreement for the 2024 football season with the Mountain West Conference. The remaining 10 schools in the conference all departed for the Big Ten, the Big 12 or Atlantic Coast Conference. The final live segment on the Pac-12 Network showed a montage of significant moments, starting with the broadcaster's launch on Aug. 15, 2012. "We hope we did justice to your stories that truly make this the conference of champions," Bernstein said. "... It has been a fantastic run and we have had an absolute blast bringing you these games. As my good friend Bill Walton says, ‘Thank you for my life.'" --Field Level Media

Pac-12 Network signs off from final live broadcast

Former first-round draft pick Billy Price announced his retirement from the NFL on Saturday morning due to the potential of complications from a blood clot. Price, a center, last played in the league with the Arizona Cardinals during the 2022 season. "In the blink of an eye, everything can be taken away," Price wrote on Instagram. "On April 24th I had emergency pulmonary embolism surgery to remove a saddle clot that was entering both of my lungs. As a healthy 29 year old, an unprovoked pulmonary embolism with no further medical explanation is terrifying. I am truly thankful to be alive today. "Unfortunately, I will be retiring from the NFL as the risk of an internal bleed while on blood thinners creates tremendous risk." Price played in 69 career games (45 starts) with the Bengals, New York Giants and Cardinals since being selected by Cincinnati with the 21st overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Ohio State. With the Buckeyes, he won the Rimington Trophy, which honors the nation's top center, in 2017. --Field Level Media
