🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Tague Davis is the 2026 ACC Player of the Year. And honestly? It wasn’t even a debate. The sophomore first baseman from Louisville is putting together one of the greatest offensive seasons in college baseball HISTORY. He’s the national leader in home runs, RBI, and total bases and he didn’t just break the ACC single-season home run record, he shattered it, 34 and counting after breaking the record that Florida State legend J.D. Drew set back in 1997 . Through 53 games, Davis is slashing .364 with 34 home runs and 93 RBI and nobody is close. 19 of his 34 home runs have come in ACC play alone the most by any ACC player in the last 10 years. He has 6 multi-homer games. 14 home runs with an exit velocity over 110 mph. And nearly half of his homers have come with two strikes. That’s not just power that’s ELITE! As a freshman in 2025, he hit .283/.390/.571 with 18 home runs and 52 RBI, breaking Louisville’s freshman home run record and leading the ACC. He came back his sophomore year and went nuclear. His father Ben Davis was the 2nd overall pick in the 1995 MLB Draft. The bloodline is real. ACC Player of the Year. Golden Spikes frontrunner. And he’s only a sophomore. The Ville’s got one. And has to keep him! 🔴⚫️⚾️

🚨 Tension heating up in Card Nation🚨 DeVante Parker, Louisville football and Ballard High School legend , jumped into the comment section under a 35KY Sports post showing Mikel Brown Jr. back healthy and preparing for the NBA Draft. Parker commented, “He ain’t got time to rest. He was faking.” That led to a response from Mikel’s father, Christopher Brown Sr, who fired back, “Your focus should be trying to get back in the league young man. Slick is hate is a feminine trait.” Parker doubled down with, “Heard what I said.” Card Nation, what do you think about this back-and-forth? 👀

Jeff Walz keeping it real on the state of coaching in today’s game. When asked about coaches being frustrated with NIL and the transfer portal, Walz didn’t sugarcoat it: “My favorite line… if you don’t like your job, find a new job.” He went on to talk about how demanding the job is, but also how you’re compensated for it.
