With No. 3 seed Johns Hopkins making a late push after never leading against No. 2 Maryland women’s lacrosse in Friday’s Big Ten tournament semi-final matchup, the Terrapin defense needed to unlock its stardom seen in the first-half shutout.
Look no further than unanimous First Team All-Big Ten defender Lizzie Colson. The Blue Jays worked the ball around as they looked for the equalizer down one goal with just over a minute left, but the pass from attacker Eliza Bowman was read beautifully by Colson.
Pat Freiermuth, TE, Penn State
WHO HE IS: Freiermuth is a 6-foot-5, 251-pound junior who had his 2020 season cut short due to a shoulder injury that required surgery (he declared himself fully healed shortly after being drafted by the Steelers). According to Dane Brugler of The Athletic, Freiermuth s father is a former Mr. Basketball in New Hampshire (1988), his mother was a longtime field hockey coach and his uncle (Mike Foley) is a longtime college football coach who currently coaches the offensive line at Massachusetts.

In his three seasons at Penn State Freiermuth established a reputation for having good hands, an understanding of how to get open and an ability to gain yards after the catch.

Jamar Johnson first Hoosier picked in draft

Indiana is on the board in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Safety Jamar Johnson became the first Hoosier picked in the draft, going in the fifth round to the Denver Broncos with the 164th overall pick. He slid somewhat in the draft after originally being projected as a third- or fourth-round pick.
Johnson had a breakout season as a junior in 2020 after moving from husky (a linebacker/safety hybrid) to safety during spring practice. He opened the campaign with a massive performance in the 36-35 overtime win over Penn State with 10 tackles, including one for loss, and an interception. He topped even that sparkling performance a month later against Ohio State when he picked off two passes from No. 11 overall pick Justin Fields and also added a sack and a pass breakup as the Hoosiers nearly pulled a massive upset on the road.
