Los Angeles Rams left tackle Alaric Jackson will not face felony charges after his June 8 arrest for domestic violence, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney.
A spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, Ivor Pine, told ESPN that Jackson does not currently have any charges filed, though the case remains open. Pine said, “Charges are not filed against the respondent at this time, however, the case stays open throughout the length of the statute of limitations. It can be re-evaluated if there are further developments,”
Jackson has become one of the success stories of the Les Snead era, going from an undrafted free agent out of Iowa in 2021 to the Rams’ starting left tackle on a team that has stayed in the Super Bowl mix. Over the past three seasons, he has started the last 57 games he appeared in, including the regular season and playoffs, and he is expected to keep that role going forward.
He is currently under a three-year, $57 million contract he agreed to in 2025, and the Rams are now a step closer to keeping him in place at left tackle as they head toward a pivotal 2026 season. With NFL MVP Matthew Stafford set to return this fall and his long-term heir, Ty Simpson, now locked in place, Jackson remains a major piece of one of the league’s top offenses, with a second ring still in play as long as Sean McVay is the one steering the ship.

Trevin Jirak Suddenly Looks Like A Real Answer For Iowa
A summer scrimmage at the University of Iowa offered a useful look at Trevin Jirak, and the sophomore seemed to stand out for all the right reasons. He looked more agile, more confident and cleaner with the ball, signs of a player who has taken a real step forward since last season, when he averaged 3.4 points per game in a limited role.
Ben McCollum also came away encouraged by the way Jirak fit into what Iowa is trying to build. With more length and shooting on hand, the Hawkeyes appear to have more lineup options than they did a year ago, and Jiraks development could help give them another reliable piece as his role grows this season.

Iowa Is Chasing A Guard Recruit Everyone Suddenly Sees Differently
Cayden Daughtrys summer has turned him into one of the more talked-about guards in the 2027 class, and Iowa is in the mix as that buzz keeps building. The Fort Lauderdale point guard has drawn national attention for the way he has played in EYBL competition, with 247Sports Eric Bossi even reaching for big-name comparisons as Daughtrys stock has climbed.
For Iowa, the timing matters because Daughtry is set to make an official visit on Sept. 12, giving the Hawkeyes a chance to sell their vision to a recruit who now looks very different to evaluators than he did a few months ago. He is already ranked among the top players in the country, and with his scoring pace and playmaking drawing notice all summer, this visit could become a meaningful checkpoint in a recruitment that is only getting hotter.

Why Tradon Bessinger Already Has Iowa Fans Paying Close Attention
Tradon Bessinger has barely gotten his Iowa career started, but the freshman quarterback is already drawing attention inside the program. The 2026 recruit from Kaysville, Utah, arrives as a highly regarded addition to a quarterback room that is still sorting out its hierarchy, with Jeremy Hecklinski and Hank Brown battling for the top spot and the rest of the depth chart still taking shape.
For Iowa, Bessinger is the kind of long-term piece that can make a room feel different almost immediately, even before he takes a meaningful snap. Coaches and players have already pointed to his development and upside as he adjusts to the college offense, and that alone has made him worth watching closely as the Hawkeyes keep building around a position that remains very much in flux.
