And you can shut down his recruitment right now. No “de-committing” or “soft verbal” or any of that other nonsense. Golden’s a Dom Ciao guy, and Ciao guys are men of their word.

ICYMI: Former #USF linemen Bayron Matos, Donovan Jennings sign UDFA deals shortly after NFL draft. Gaither Cowboys Football tampabay.com/sports/bulls/2…

South Florida offensive lineman Donovan Jennings has agreed to terms with #Packers for a 10k signing bonus and 100k in guaranteed salary per source. The signing bonus is more than they gave any UDFAs in 2023, and they did not give any guaranteed salary to UDFAs in 2023. A strong…

And he HAS played in a football game (a few plays in 2022), as #USF and several observant Bulls fans confirmed.

And in other news, #USF 's NFL draft drought stretches to six years. I expect Matos and Jennings to get looks in camps as UDFAs.

That's Stamkos' 20th career power-play goal in the postseason, most in #GoBolts history

Factoid of the First Period: Lightning are now 2-for-13 on power play in this series.

Big pregame news here at Amalie: Sergachev is on the ice. #GoBolts

Bucs’ 3rd-round picks include prolific Michael Penix Jr. target trib.al/ReDbDNv

Newest #Bucs edge rusher Chris Braswell had monster game for 'Bama vs. USF Football last September: 7 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 1 sack, 1 pass breakup. He sacked Byrum Brown on game's final play.

Congrats to CCC Marauders Football alum Johnny Newton, program's first draftee since Colin McCarthy in 2011. tampabay.com/sports/2024/04…

I spent the morning at #USF where HC Alex Golesh (who moved to the U.S. from Russia at age 7) congratulated our country's 48 newest naturalized citizens.
“It was, like, an hour of non-stop smiles and excitement.'

A Bulls team captain is going portaling. Logan made 20 starts over past three years.

Dade City's Michael Penix Jr. becomes 2nd-highest draft pick in bay area high school history. Lakewood's Dante Fowler (3rd overall to Jags in 2018) remains highest local pick. Robinson's Larry Smith also was No. 8 overall (to Rams) in 1969. #TechTechTech

Don’t fret, Vasy. Tampa Bay has seen other valiant efforts go to waste trib.al/ROQVUUG

In recognition of Vasy's magnificent effort (albeit in defeat) in Game 2, I ranked some other historic performances by bay area athletes that went all for naught. USF Football #RaysUp #GoBucs tampabay.com/sports/lightni…

This story has been revised. Upon review, #USF says Matos did, in fact, play a handful of snaps early in '22. I know some of y'all told me Matos had appeared in a game, but the school initially said he didn't. Matter's cleared up now. tampabay.com/sports/bulls/2…
