Lemuel Wilson is asked by his position coach to step off to the side of where a blocking drill is taking in practice and give a younger player pointers during a summer workout last Thursday morning.

The moment speaks to the kind of player Wilson is and the expectations there are that the defensive lineman be a leader for the Navarre Raider football team this season.

In less than two weeks, Michael Sandle should become the latest from Navarre to reach the pro level of sports.

Sandle, who played his college baseball at the University of South Alabama, is expected to be taken in the 2021 Major League Baseball Draft.

Miami Marlins third overall draft pick Max Meyer is living up to the hype in his first season as a pro.

Meyer has fashioned a 3-1 start in his first nine outings with the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, the Double-A affiliate of the Marlins, and believes he improves each time he pitches in a game.

Josh Carter was barely an hour into a spring practice at the University of South Alabama when fate took a turn down the road of adversity.

Playing at running back for the first time in his collegiate career after two years at linebacker, the former Navarre Raider was injured while making a play, suffering a torn ACL and meniscus.

If the preseason recognition is any indication, Dante Wright is poised for another big year with the Colorado State football team.

Wright is one of 11 Rams named to the All-Mountain West preseason team in Phil Steele’s College Football Preview Magazine.

Abby Fogg runs through different late-game situations with her team on a late June morning in the gym.

Hitting the big shot, finding the open player with a sharp pass and defending well in the closing seconds can mean the difference between winning and losing a game.

Davion Hardy has been waiting for his moment to shine, and with his senior year on the horizon, the Navarre Raider tight end is eager to make the most of it.

Listening to Hardy talk in an interview, the sense of urgency in his voice to be at his best is easy to detect.

Jennifer Seward and her Samford teammates poured everything they had into each workout last fall.

They hoped the season would start on time amid the COVID-19 pandemic but also understood the reality that it might not happen.

Wearing a heavy jersey and holding a hockey stick, Regan Rudzki stands out in the crowd on a steamy June afternoon on Navarre Beach.

There isn’t a sheet of ice in sight — only water, sand and sunshine — but Rudzki isn’t here to play hockey.

Nick Brahms was named to the third-team All-SEC preseason team by Athlon Sports in late May.

Brahms is entering his fourth season of playing for Auburn after a redshirt year in 2017 and will be the team’s starting center.
