Chargers Sign OL Kayode Awosika The Los Angeles Chargers have bolstered their offensive line depth by signing veteran guard Kayode Awosika. The move was officially announced on Wednesday, marking the team’s latest addition to strengthen their front five. Awosika, 27, spent the past four seasons with the Detroit Lions, where he established himself as a reliable rotational player. Last season, he appeared in 13 games, starting four of them. During his time with the Lions, he contributed to 35 percent of offensive snaps and 18 percent of special teams snaps in games played. His experience in the NFL has been shaped by a steady progression through the league, beginning as an undrafted free agent out of the University at Buffalo in 2021. Over his career, Awosika has played in 50 games, with 11 of those coming as starts, split between stints with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Lions. The Chargers’ decision to bring Awosika aboard reflects their focus on adding depth to a position group that has seen significant turnover in recent years. His ability to contribute on both offensive and special teams makes him a versatile option for the team’s coaching staff. With the 2025 season approaching, the Chargers aim to solidify their offensive line to support quarterback Justin Herbert and enhance their overall offensive production.#philadelphia_eagles #los_angeles_chargers #detroit_lions #university_at_buffalo #kayode_awosika
Los Angeles Chargers Sign Kayode Awosika The Los Angeles Chargers officially announced the signing of guard Kayode Awosika on March 25, 2026. The 28-year-old offensive lineman joins the team after spending the past four seasons with the Detroit Lions, where he played a key role on an offensive line that supported one of the NFL’s most prolific rushing attacks. Awosika, who was undrafted in 2021, began his professional career with the Philadelphia Eagles before moving to Detroit, where he became a reliable starter over the last four years. Awosika’s tenure with the Lions included contributions to a unit that protected quarterback Jared Goff, allowing him to throw for over 4,000 yards each season. The offensive line also paved the way for three different running backs to rush for more than 1,000 yards during their time in Detroit. In 2025, Awosika appeared in 50 regular-season games, starting 11, and also participated in four postseason contests, including one start. His experience and versatility make him a valuable addition to the Chargers’ offensive line. Prior to his NFL career, Awosika played collegiately at the University at Buffalo. After redshirting in 2017, he started 32 of 37 games over his four seasons. In 2020, he earned first-team All-Mid-American Conference honors while anchoring a rushing attack that averaged 287.4 yards per game, ranking second nationally. The following year, he was a second-team All-MAC selection as the Bulls set a program record with 3,256 rushing yards. As a sophomore in 2018, Awosika started 14 games at right tackle, helping the team achieve a school-record 36 touchdown runs. The signing of Awosika marks another move in the Chargers’ offseason strategy to strengthen their offensive line.#los_angeles_chargers #detroit_lions #university_at_buffalo #kayode_awosika #jared_goff
Arizona State Sources Say Bobby Hurley's Departure News Is Premature Arizona State Sun Devils basketball coach Bobby Hurley's potential exit from the program has been labeled "premature" by school officials, despite widespread reports suggesting he may not return for a 12th season. The news came just days before the start of the Big 12 Men’s Basketball Tournament, with Hurley’s future remaining uncertain as he nears the end of his contract. The school has not offered an extension, leaving his status in limbo for the 2025-26 season. While the decision to move on is often a signal of impending change, ASU sources emphasized that the timing of the speculation was premature. Hurley’s team is set to face Baylor in the tournament’s first round on March 10, with the game scheduled for 9:30 a.m. MST at T-Mobile Center. The Sun Devils, with a 16-15 record, finished their regular season last week, including a notable upset over No. 14 Kansas on March 3, which was widely considered Hurley’s final home game as head coach. The school could be waiting for the team’s tournament performance before making an official announcement, as the elimination of the squad might influence the timing of any decision. Hurley, 54, joined Arizona State in 2015, succeeding Herb Sendek as head coach and becoming the university’s 14th in that role. Prior to ASU, he led the University at Buffalo for two seasons, compiling a 42-20 record (67.7%). At Arizona State, his overall record stands at 184-166, but the past three years have been his most challenging tenure. The Sun Devils have posted a 43-53 record in that span, with a 19-39 mark in conference play.#t_mobile_center #arizona_state #bobby_hurley #big_12_men_s_basketball_tournament #university_at_buffalo
