Alabama football landed its second offensive line commitment of the day Friday evening. Nick Brooks is heading to Tuscaloosa, after starting three games for Texas last season. Brooks shared the news to his social media account on Friday. He joined former Cal Poly center Racin Dalgatty in joining the Crimson Tide’s portal class that day. The 6-foot-7, 349-pound Brooks adds a serious dose of size to Alabama’s room. He played in five games for the Longhorns last season, and will have three seasons of eligibility to use in Tuscaloosa. In his college debut against Sam Houston, Brooks played right tackle. The rest of the year, including when he started games against Oklahoma, Kentucky and Mississippi State, he slotted in at left guard. The Grayson (Ga.) product was a four-star recruit in the 2025 class for Texas. The 247Sports composite ranked him as the No. 25 offensive tackle in the class. Brooks’ addition to the portal class gives Alabama a body in a spot where it desperately needed reinforcements. The Crimson Tide lost all but one offensive line starter from last season, with Kam Dewberry, Jaeden Roberts and Geno VanDeMark running out of eligibility, Kadyn Proctor and Parker Brailsford opting to enter the NFL Draft early and Wilkin Formby transferring to Texas A&M. Alabama also lost several reserves to the portal. Joseph Ionata jumped to Georgia Tech, while Olaus Alinen headed to Kentucky, Arkel Anugwom to Northwestern and Micah DeBose to Vanderbilt.

The 15-day transfer portal entry window is nearing an end, after it started the day after Alabama’s 2025 season ended with a 38-3 loss to Indiana. Undergraduate players will no longer be able to enter the portal after 11 p.m. CT on Friday.

Rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe took three snaps for the Seattle Seahawks during the 2025 regular season. But with the Seahawks entering the NFL playoffs on Saturday night, Milroe might be closer to seeing the field than usual.

L’idée de cette conférence est née d’une collaboration, déjà fructueuse, entre l’Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar (Sénégal) et l’Université d’Aarhus (Danemark) sur la littérature africaine francophone. Voulant dépasser le simple cadre littéraire, les organisateurs de cette conférence voudraient adopter une approche interdisciplinaire mais ancrée dans les sciences humaines et sociales afin d’élargir notre champ de recherche à l’étude de la sphère publique (Öffentlichkeit), celle-ci permettant notamment d’aborder les questions liées aux médias, aux débats entre tradition et contemporanéité, ainsi qu’aux pratiques intellectuelles et créatives, qu’elles soient individuelles ou collectives. Le Sénégal constitue un exemple remarquable d’une sphère publique dynamique. Des figures telles que le poète-président Léopold Sédar Senghor, le chercheur Cheikh Anta Diop, le cinéaste et écrivain Sembène Ousmane, le journaliste et romancier Boubacar Boris Diop, le philosophe Souleymane Bachir Diagne et l’économiste et penseur Felwine Sarr illustrent la richesse de cette scène intellectuelle. Les femmes y jouent un rôle de plus en plus important, à l’image de la sculptrice Awa Séni Camara (voir Le 1 Hebdo, 12.05.21), la réalisatrice Mati Diop, la sociologue Fatou Sow ou des écrivaines comme Fatou Diome, Aminata Sow Fall, Awa Thiam et Ken Bugul. Cette vitalité repose sur une diversité de perspectives concernant [...]
