NEW YORK — There’s more than one connection to Colorado at this year’s Heisman Trophy ceremony than the obvious. While Travis Hunter became just the fourth Buffaloes player to be named a finalist for the top individual trophy in college football, Miami quarterback Cam Ward also has a close relationship to the Sanders family. Ward and CU quarterback Shedeur Sanders have shared the same trainer, Darrell Colbert, for years, working out together during the summer and communicating throughout their respective college careers — which both began at the FCS level. “Our relationship is good,” Ward said Friday. “We both push each other. When we work out together in the offseason, it’s gonna be heated battles. We’re both competitors.” Heisman Trophy finalist Cam Ward, of Miami, speaks during a college football media availability, Friday, Dec. 13, 2024, in New York. (AP Photo/Corey Sipkin) They did square off, briefly, last season when the Buffs visited Ward and his former team, Washington State, but Sanders got hurt in the first half of the blowout win for Ward’s Cougars. The duo are projected to be the two top quarterbacks taken in next year’s NFL draft, so that game in Pullman last November probably wasn’t the last time they faced off on the football field. “I’m pretty sure one day we’ll get a rematch,” Ward said. Figuratively and literally, Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty is representing the little guy this weekend in New York.

(AP Photo/Corey Sipkin) The star running back, considered the biggest threat to Travis Hunter’s bid to win the Heisman, is the shortest of the four contenders and he’s the only player not from a Power 4 program. He’s the first Group of Five player to earn a trip to the Heisman ceremony since Northern Illinois’ Jordan Lynch in 2013. He’s the first Mountain West player to do so since fellow Boise State legend, quarterback Kellen Moore, went in 2010. It’s something that’s not lost on him. “It would mean a lot,” Jeanty said when asked about potentially winning the Heisman on Saturday night. “Not just for me and Boise but for the world as a whole, just (to) change everybody’s perspective. I think it’ll inspire a lot of people. No matter what school or place you come from, it doesn’t matter what odds are against you, if you want to accomplish something, you can do it.” Of the four Heisman finalists, Dillon Gabriel is the elder statesman in the room. While all but Jeanty have played for multiple schools, Gabriel’s invitation to New York is the culmination of a six-year journey in college football that has spanned three different schools and so many big games. The Oregon quarterback is certainly one for sentimentality and said he plans to keep all of his jerseys and helmets from his lone season with the Ducks, which will continue into the College Football Playoff later this month. “I think I still have my Pop Warner jersey from when I was a kid,” Gabriel said. “I think all the memories start to roll back in your mind when you have those items and it’ll all be priceless and things you can appreciate.” Heisman Trophy finalist Dillon Gabriel, of Oregon, speaks during a college football media availability, Friday, Dec. 13, 2024, in New York. (AP Photo/Corey Sipkin) As the old head in the room, it’s not much of a surprise that Gabriel was inundated Friday with questions about the current era of college football dominated by the transfer portal and NIL, something he’s witnessed evolve plenty from his freshman year at Central Florida in 2019. “About the wildest world you can live in,” Gabriel said. “I think now because it’s so new it’s hard to grasp, but in 10, 20 years we’ll appreciate the beginning of it all and how we can create rules that make sense. For the most part, there’s a lot of good.”Jordan Sears scores 25 points, Jalen Reed has double-double and LSU outlasts UCF 109-102 in 3OT

As the Vancouver Canucks prepared for Friday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the team had a familiar face on the ice that we haven't seen in quite some time. On the ice at Rogers Arena on Thursday afternoon, in a non-contact sweater, was defenseman Derek Forbort , Jeff Paterson of Rink Wide: Vancouver shared in a post on social media. Derek Forbort's absence from Vancouver's lineup Derek Forbort signed Derek Forbort in early July to a one-year contract worth $1.5 million USD and so far, it's been a tough season for the 32-year-old blueliner. In October, he took a leave of absence for personal reasons following the passing of his father, Keith. Then a week later, Forbort suffered a lower-body injury after getting tangled up at the team's practice on November 4th, forcing him to be placed on injury reserve (IR) and was designated as out week-to-week. With Filip Hronek set to miss the next eight weeks with lower and upper-body injuries, seeing Derek Forbort back on the ice is welcome news for Rick Tocchet and the Vancouver Canucks. It's uncertain when Derek Forbort will return to the lineup or even transition into a regular sweater at practice, it'll be interesting to see what his role is when he returns. Could Rick Tocchet put him into a second-pairing role with Tyler Myers or would he remain on the third pair with Vincent Desharnais or Noah Juulsen? Regardless of where he's put, it's going to be good for the club on the defensive side of the puck in their own end. The Canucks return to action tomorrow night as they host the Columbus Blue Jackets at Rogers Arena, with puck drop set for 7 pm PT.
