    2026 DB Jackson talks West Virginia offer

    Winter Green (Fla.) West Orange 2026 defensive back Devin Jackson is excited to add West Virginia to his list of scholarship offers but now wants to learn more about the program. Jackson, 6-foot-2, 188-pounds, received an offer from the Mountaineers during the evaluation period when offensive coordinator Chad Scott stopped by his school. Because the defensive back prospect is in the class of 2026 the coaches haven’t been able to build a good connection just yet but he is hoping to change that moving forward.

    Israeli justices press government on religious conscription waivers

    The top Israeli court heard responses by the state on Sunday to challenges against exemptions granted to ultra-Orthodox Jews from military conscription, a long-standing source of friction with more secular citizens now inflamed by the long Gaza war. In the name of equality, the Supreme Court in 2018 voided a law waiving the call-up for ultra-Orthodox men who want to study in seminaries instead. That has left Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu scrambling to agree with ultra-Orthodox coalition partners on a military service compromise that might preempt any Supreme Court ruling that Israel's fasted-growing minority must be forcibly drafted.
