Linebacker Weston Port, who was part of UCLA’s 2025 recruiting class, is re-opening his recruitment.
Spent last year on a mission trip. Now will start the process of looking for a new team to play for starting in 2027. Had 442 career high school tackles.

@BYUSportsNation My favorite Jaren Hall moment was watching him run all the way down the sideline against Utah.
Even though the ref said he stepped out (which is doubtful).
It was total hype!!!

@_The_Prophet__ That's why I love the LDS approach to youth.
Teach them to love the principles in "For the Strength of Youth" (see link)
Then send them on 2 year missions to serve and preach to people who often reject them.

⚡️The deeper signal is youth risk did not disappear.
It migrated inward.
Teen drinking fell because the old physical world of adolescence got dismantled. Alcohol belonged to a social ecosystem: unsupervised time, cars, parties, local jobs, malls, basements, boredom, flirting, older siblings, house gatherings, and the chaotic peer world where teenagers learned who they were by colliding with other people in real space.
That ecosystem was replaced by phones, surveillance, parental tracking, algorithmic entertainment, social anxiety, online status games, and a much thinner physical commons.
So the surface looks healthier. Fewer kids drinking. Fewer kids using weed. Fewer kids doing reckless things in public.
The hidden layer looks worse. The young are less reckless because they are less socially embodied. Less initiation. Less unsupervised friction. Less courage-building. Less embarrassment and recovery. Less real dating. Less independence. Less contact with the physical world before adulthood demands it.
The old teenage world produced damage, stupidity, alcohol abuse, pregnancy risk, fights, accidents, and bad decisions. No need to romanticize it. But it also produced social reps. It forced young people through discomfort. It made them practice attraction, rejection, conflict, reputation, risk, repair, and status in the open.
The new world suppresses visible risk while increasing invisible fragility.
That is the trade.
A teenager can avoid drinking, avoid parties, avoid sex, avoid driving, avoid real confrontation, avoid rejection, avoid shame, avoid danger, and still arrive at 23 emotionally underbuilt. Cleaner behavior does not automatically mean stronger formation.
This is why the marriage chart and the teen drinking chart are the same story at different stages. People are not suddenly failing to pair in adulthood. The whole pathway into embodied adulthood has been slowing for years before marriage even becomes the question.
The real truth: society solved part of the teen vice problem by shrinking the arena where teenagers become adults.
It took away the dangerous commons and replaced it with controlled isolation.
The result is safer kids with weaker initiation into real life.

Huge collapse in drinking among high schoolers 👀

🚨 NOW: VP JD Vance reveals why crushing fraud is PERSONAL for him. This is why we LOVE JD
"I grew up in a family where we sometimes benefited from these programs. The generosity of the American people is one of the most amazing things about our country."
"I think all of us, of course, just passed tax day, none of us like paying our taxes, but we do it. And why do we do it? Because we know that it goes to give a bite to a low-income family that can't afford food."
"We know that it goes to pay the military who keep us safe. We know that it goes to some essential services, but that trust, that trust in our government, that trust in our institution, it depends on us taking that trust seriously."
"How long are people going to pay into programs if they know that that money doesn't go to a low-income kid who needs health care, but that money goes into a fraudster getting rich?"
"This doesn't work, and this doesn't make sense unless we take fraud seriously, so I'm proud to be part of an effort in our government."
"I'm proud to lead the effort in our government to finally take fraud seriously. We want to protect these programs for the kids and the families who need them."
"We want to ensure that the American taxpayer isn't getting fleeced, and I'd say just a few months into it, gentlemen, we have done a very, very good job. Let's keep it up." 🔥

He got family tickets to the National Championship game for free!

@KVN_03 Eliminate penalty for offensive lineman downfield on a forward pass. If an offense wants to risk less pass protection, let them.
It's too subjectively called anyway.

@jaromjordan @jarenhall3 We all wish you could have had more of a shot

Former BYU QB and 2023 5th round pick to the Vikings, @jarenhall3 announces his retirement from football on his IG.
Professionally Hall played three games for the Vikings in 2023 before an injury, was on the Seahawks practice squad in 2024 and briefly was with the Birmingham Stallions of the UFL in 2026.
Hall was the first black starting QB in BYU history and notably had a 52 TD, 11 INT, 66%, 8.4 yds/att career at BYU where he led BYU to a 10-3 record in 2021 beating Utah to snap a 9-game losing streak to the Utes.

My favorite part is when he yells "Is there anyone else in the house?" Because you know he would have gone back in

“I tried to thank him… That’s my whole world. That’s my daughter.” New Ring doorbell video shows the dramatic moment a Chattanooga police officer rushed into a burning apartment to save a mother and her two children. Rachel Blaylock can be heard screaming “There’s a fire!” as flames spread. She says Officer Eli Rogers didn’t hesitate — and she’s not sure her family would have survived without him.

WATCH🚨: “That’s my whole world… That’s my daughter.”
Chattanooga hero Officer Eli Rogers didn’t think twice — he ran straight into a burning apartment to pull a mother and her two children to safety.
Ring video shows Rachel Blaylock screaming “There’s a fire!” as flames took over.
“Thank you” will never be enough.

@BYUSportsNation I wish BYUtv would find a way to pick up BYU Lacrosse

@mvp30_curry We BYU fans outside Utah don't care when the BYU / Utah game is scheduled.
English

The Holy War needs to get the respect it deserves. How are we putting Howard and Yale over the Holy War.
I like Brett Yormark most of the time but the Holy War would get so much more attention if they actually scheduled it during rivalry week.
