Baltimore Ravens outside linebackers Odafe Oweh and David Ojabo have plenty connecting them together. One key fact is they both went to Blair High School together, creating a bond that will never be broken.

Although they went their separate ways for college, for both of them to be drafted by the Ravens in back-to-back drafts must’ve made them feel plenty of emotions, especially when it comes to comfortability and familiarity within. Oweh was asked about what the conversations were like between him and Ojabo about terrorizing quarterbacks when they were younger, and said the two have a “real opportunity”.

“We just want to show Baltimore a different thing that they haven’t seen necessarily. We know that there’s a real opportunity right here – a real great story, coming from where we both come from, being together, starting football late, soaring and having trials, tribulations, being that. So, we know the opportunity that we have. We want to be those guys for Baltimore.”

Rutgers football got a second victory on Saturday, the Scarlet Knights beating Illinois on the road and then landing tight end Mike Higgins.

Higgins, who played at Don Bosco before going for a post-graduate year at Blair, earned the offer earlier this month. The Scarlet Knights were his only FBS offer. He is a three-star recruit according to Rivals.

The 6-foot-5 Higgins has good athleticism and range, showing maturation and development during his season at Blair. He is the only current Rutgers commit who is coming in as a tight end.

 

On Saturday, Higgins’ future team beat Illinois on the road 20-14. Rutgers was solid, not turning the ball over and dominating at the line of scrimmage to even their record at 4-4 (1-4 Big Ten). The win snapped a four-game losing streak for Rutgers, all in Big Ten play.

His father, Mike Higgins Sr., was a baseball player at Rutgers who was taken in the 1993 MLB Amateur Draft by the Colorado Rockies.

One of Niele Ivey’s first acts after succeeding Muffet McGraw last spring was landing two prized recruits: Olivia Miles and Sonia Citron. Notre Dame will see what it has in Miles soon, one of the top point guards in the country. That’s because she’s enrolling at the university early. After completing a quarantine and COVID-19 protocols, she can begin practicing with the team Jan. 25 and will play in her first game as early as Jan. 31 against Syracuse.

Miles, a Phillipsburg, New Jersey, native who won a state championship with Blair Academy last season, joins an Irish team in which three of the four leading scorers are guards. She’ll also find herself in a happy atmosphere as the Irish have won four of their past five games to improve to 5-3 in the ACC and fifth in the conference. The Irish can better their positions further over the next week with wins against struggling programs in Virginia Tech and North Carolina. Those are must-win games because that Syracuse game in which Miles could make her collegiate debut kicks off a trio a contests that also consists of top-ranked Louisville and undefeated NC State.
