The North Carolina Tar Heels, Arizona Wildcats, and Michigan Wolverines are the only schools in the nation with a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL, NBA, and MLB drafts.
It’s an astonishing accomplishment for these three programs, especially Michigan, because they have 1st Round selection in the same year in the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL drafts. Here are some of their names:
NFL: Mason Graham (No. 5 overall)
NBA: Danny Wolf (No. 27 overall)
MLB: Mitch Voit (Comp. Balance A)
NHL: Will Horcoff (No. 24 overall)
Congratulations to all three programs. They have a reputation for building and molding great athletes to prepare them for the pros and life.

There will be many exciting games that week, such as St John’s vs. Baylor, Houston vs. Tennessee, Michigan vs. Auburn, women’s Duke vs. South Carolina, and many more. The third-place and championship games will be at night on November 26 and 27.
FS1 Making Big Decision and Many Names Will Be Out of Jobs
FS1 has canceled three of its five daily shows, leaving Joy Taylor, Emmanuel Acho, LeSean McCoy, Paul Pierce, Michael Irvin, and more out at the network.
The network is planning on adding new shows to their platforms and bringing along known names like Max Kellerman, Tony Reali, and Kay Adams.
Kellerman has been out of the game for a while after he was laid off from ESPN. He’s making a comeback for the Canelo Alvarez/Terence Crawford fight, and his coming to FS1 brings him more satisfaction.
