Penn State Nabs QB Kase Evans, Keeps Raiding Campbell’s Old Address Book

Penn State landed 2026 quarterback Kase Evans, the third commitment on Sunday and the fourth of the Matt Campbell era, which seems to be powered by the head coach’s uncanny memory for old phone numbers. Evans, 6-foot-2 and 198 pounds, is a three-star who ranks No. 60 at QB, No. 158 in Texas, and No. 1,154 overall per 247Sports. He is also the fourth former Iowa State signee to flip to the Nittany Lions. The weekend haul featured three-star safeties Williams and Tyrell Chatman and three-star punter Tenbrock, joining early signees four-star QB Falzone and four-star edge rusher Ford. The class is up to No. 133 nationally. Not elite, but if you are signing punters in April, you are at least planning for fourth down like adults.

Eagles 31, Raiders 0, Nothing To See Here Except A Shutout And A Presidential Hat Mix-Up

Philadelphia snapped a three-game skid by steamrolling a backup-led offense that looked like it was still waiting on pregame warmups. Vic Fangio’s defense pitched a clean shutout, with Nakobe Dean flashing and Brandon Graham wrecking pockets on passing downs, which is not how last year went. Jalen Hurts’ legs set the tempo, the zone read and RPO game woke up, penalties cooled, A.J. Brown scored after an ankle scare, DeVonta Smith floated, and Dallas Goedert dropped one then kept ghosting open. The tush push, still inevitable. The Raiders helped early with defensive pass interference, the Eagles went timid before halftime, then Hurts sat for Tanner McKee because the game was already embalmed. President Biden showed up wearing the wrong Super Bowl hat, a perfect metaphor for the Raiders’ day. Philly is 9-5 with a softer closing slate and a clear path to its first back-to-back division titles since 2004.

AI Is Eating Entry-Level Tech Jobs, And Management Is Asking For Seconds

Automation is chewing through the grunt work that used to be freshman year for coders, from debugging to testing, and campuses from India to Kenya are feeling it. At one top Indian engineering college, fewer than 25 percent of 400 students have offers. Globally, big tech’s fresh-grad hiring has fallen more than 50 percent in three years, and in 2024 only 7 percent of new hires were recent graduates, per SignalFire. A survey cherry on top, 37 percent of managers say they would rather use AI than hire a Gen Z employee. EY reports Indian IT services have cut entry-level roles by 20 to 25 percent, job platforms note a 35 percent drop in junior positions across major EU countries, and a Dubai recruiter says the former war for talent is now a ghost town, with off-the-shelf roles down from roughly 90 percent of hires to under 5 percent. Translation, the ideal intern never sleeps, never unions, and costs 20 bucks a month, and the ladder up has been automated while executives wait for someone else to build a new one.

After The Bondi Hanukkah Shooting, A Call To Move From Condolences To Consequences

Following a deadly shooting at a Hanukkah event in Bondi, commentary is urging institutions to treat antisemitic incitement as something to stop, not politely ignore. The argument, regulators should pull charitable status from groups that promote hate, universities and media should stop indulging it, and police should enforce existing laws evenly and firmly. Amid the horror, Ahmed Al Ahmed is credited with courageous intervention even after being shot. Authorities have identified the attacker as Naveed Akram and reportedly found an improvised explosive device in a vehicle. The message is clear and sober, tolerance has boundaries, and protecting all communities means confronting those who preach or perpetrate violence, within the rule of law and without delay.
