Johns Hopkins graduate transfer given opportunity at Notre Dame

An interesting name that could work out well for the Irish

The Irish are looking to bolster their roster via the transfer portal and an unknown name has popped up today. Graduate transfer wide receiver Harrison Wellmann tweeted early this evening that he has been offered a spot on the Irish football team.

At six-feet and 180-pounds, Wellmann is an ideal candidate for a slot receiver and has put up very impressive numbers in his time at Hopkins. For his career he has 183 receptions for 2,276-yards and 34 touchdowns. That was in just three seasons as the 2020 Ivy League campaign was not played due to COVID-19. Wellman averaged over 100-yards per game in his last two full seasons.

It seems like Wellman doesn’t have just the Notre Dame coaching staff’s attention. This tweet by another transfer, Brandon Joseph, seems like the former Hopkins receiver might be a bit underrated.

Penn State Men’s Lacrosse defeats No. 17 Johns Hopkins, Tambroni gets 200th career win

Penn State men’s lacrosse head coach Jeff Tambroni scored his 200th career win as the Nittany Lions pulled an upset of No. 17 Johns Hopkins.

It wasn’t pretty for the Nittany Lions, but despite 22 turnovers, the men’s lacrosse team got a much-needed victory over No. 17 Johns Hopkins on Sunday afternoon. Jeff Tambroni celebrated a little extra today after clinching his 200th career win as head coach.

Penn State goalie Colby Kneese led the way with 15 saves on the day. Kneese has struggled to start the season, but he was a key part of Penn State’s 11-8 win on Sunday.

Penn State attackman Mac O’Keefe had his best outing of the season with four goals and an assist. Late in the first quarter, O’Keefe tied the game at three with this incredible low-to-high shot at the top of the offensive zone.

O’Keefe is closing on unprecedented history for Penn State. Not only is he the all-time goals leader for the University, he’s just seven goals shy of breaking the NCAA Division I record for career goals.

Penn State has struggled to find success in the second-half of games this season and the third quarter felt like it could be deja vu all over again. The Nittany Lions held a 7-4 lead going into the half, just to see that lead evaporate early in the fourth quarter.

The Nittany Lions played like a desperate team and it paid off. Kneese was a major contributor to them staying in the game as he made save after save when it mattered most.

Penn State dominated faceoffs from start to finish. Gerard Arceri and Jake Glatz combined to win 78% (18 out of 23) of the faceoffs against Johns Hopkins. The shots for each team were pretty much even, but due to Penn State’s 22 turnovers, Hopkins got extra possessions making it an even more impressive outing from Kneese.

The Nittany Lions are now 2-4 on the early season and have one of their biggest tests coming up when they face No. 3 Maryland this Saturday. The Terrapins are 6-0 and coming off an impressive 13-9 win over No. 5 Rutgers.

Notre Dame and Big Ten join forces to battle Mental Health

The Big Ten along with Notre Dame and Johns Hopkins has formed a Mental Health and Wellness Cabinet to assist student-athletes.

It has been quite a ride for Kevin Warren, the new commissioner of the Big Ten, since taking over full time for the retired Jim Delaney at the beginning of the year. Warren could not have expected to be battling a global pandemic, but that has not stopped the conference from moving forward and putting the student-athletes at the forefront of their minds.

Yesterday, the Big Ten along with Notre Dame and Johns Hopkins, announced a partnership in the battle against the mental health and wellness of their athletic student body. There will be 2 representatives from each school that will form a Mental Health and Wellness Cabinet to assist the student-athletes with anything they may need.

In addition to the added focus on their mental well-being, student-athletes, coaches, full time members of athletic departments and conference staff members will be given free access to the Calm app.

It has been a recent development for athletes to come out and speak about their mental health issues. These issues could affect anyone and by joining forces with the Big Ten and Johns Hopkins it is a move in the right direction. Having extra support for student-athletes is a huge step forward, just because they are in the limelight doesn’t mean they don’t go through tough times.

It seems very fitting for all parties to announce these plans now, as May is Mental Health Month.  This gesture by the 16 schools involved is a step forward in battling mental health issues on college campuses.
