Waived by the Dallas Cowboys last week, former Auburn receiver joins the UFL

When the Dallas Cowboys obtained wide receiver George Pickens in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers on May 7, the NFL team needed a roster spot for the former Hoover High School standout.

The Cowboys created it by waiving wide receiver Seth Williams. Less than a week later, the former Paul W. Bryant High School and Auburn standout is back on a football team.

Williams has signed with the DC Defenders, the United Football League announced.

Williams joins the UFL‘s No. 1 passing team with DC quarterback Jordan Ta’amu leading the league with 1,750 yards and 14 touchdown passes in seven games in the 2025 season.

The Defenders have three games remaining on their regular-season schedule. DC plays the Arlington Renegades at 11 a.m. CDT Sunday at Audi Field in Washington. ABC will televise the game.

With a 5-2 record, the Defenders are tied for the lead in the XFL Conference with the St. Louis Battlehawks. DC defeated St. Louis 27-15 on April 13 and plays the Battlehawks again in its regular-season finale on May 30.

Williams had joined the Cowboys’ practice squad on Oct. 8 and re-signed with Dallas in January.

An All-State selection for Paul Bryant in 2016 and 2017, Williams had 132 receptions for 2,124 yards and 17 touchdowns in three seasons at Auburn.

The Denver Broncos selected Williams in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Williams had a 34-yard reception in two games as a rookie for the Broncos, but he has not appeared in an NFL regular-season game since.

Williams spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons on the Jacksonville Jaguars’ practice squad, but he was released by the team at the end of the preseason last year.

‘Our hand’s being forced:’ 2 new members named to Birmingham’s controversial Water Works Board

The City of Birmingham is still legally challenging a state law that took effect May 7 regionalizing the Birmingham Water Works Board, but on Tuesday took action to name its two representatives to the new 7-member board.

The City Council named Jefferson County Commissioner Sheila Tyson as its representative to the board. Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin named Jarvis Patton, a former aide to previous Birmingham Mayor William Bell, as his pick for the board.

“It’s important for the city to have representation in any of those conversations,” said Birmingham City Council President Darrell O’Quinn. “Under duress, we feel our hand’s being forced. We want the citizens of Birmingham represented in any discussions of them and their water board.”

The Birmingham City Council also passed a resolution opposing any amendments to the certificate of incorporation for the Water Works Board.

The city filed a lawsuit against Gov. Kay Ivey on May 6 asking her not to sign the bill into law. She did anyway, but O’Quinn said he still expects a hearing in federal court on Thursday.

Chief U.S. District Judge Emily C. Marks set a hearing for May 15 on the request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction.

The new regional Birmingham water works board is now fully assembled a day before its first planned meeting on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

Gov. Ivey appointed Thomas C. Hudson Jr. of Mountain Brook to the board.

Lt. Gov. Will Ainsworth appointed Bill Morris, general manager of Leeds Water Works.

The Shelby County Commission appointed Jeffery Brumlow, an attorney and former county commissioner.

Blount County appointed State Rep. David Standridge, a retired police captain.

Jefferson County Commission President Jimmie Stephens appointed an engineer, Phillip R. Wiedmeyer, to the new regional board.

Wiedmeyer, acting in his capacity as board member, filed a federal lawsuit in response to the City of Birmingham’s lawsuit, declaring that the former Water Works Board was terminated, and asking U.S. District Court to stop the former board from taking any action after May 7.

Tyson stressed that she did not ask for the position, but was asked to accept the position.“I can’t talk about other public officials not fighting for or helping people and get an opportunity to sit at the table and fight for them where I just might be able to make a difference,” she said. “If I turned it down, that would make me a hypocrite.”

Tyson noted the political realities of being just one of two representatives from Birmingham.

“I’m a county commissioner, but I am a citizen in the community and I am concerned about the people,” Tyson told Al.com after her selection to the board. “I come from a background of people caring about each other. I’ve always had the interest of the citizens on my mind. I will represent them well.”

The new law that regionalizes the Birmingham Water Works Board would give more power to suburban areas.

Under the new law the structure of the Birmingham Water Works Board will change, creating a seven-member authority dominated by appointees from outside the city of Birmingham and reducing the city’s seats to two. Birmingham had controlled six of the nine seats on the former board.

“I live in the real world but I will let them know everything that’s going on,” Tyson said. “I will do Zoom calls, town hall, whatever I need to do to let them know what’s transpiring. Don’t look for major changes because we’re still two to five.”

Patton, appointed by Woodfin, said it will be an honor to serve on the board.

“To me it is both and honor and privilege to be asked to serve, and that the system has enabled me to turn to the political arena when I can be of benefit to the citizens of Birmingham,” Patton said.

Country music stars from Alabama paired with Tommy Tuberville at Regions Pro-Am

When U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville tees up on Wednesday at the Regions Tradition Celebrity Pro-Am, he’ll be joined by a couple of country music stars from Alabama.

Riley Green, a contemporary hitmaker from Jacksonville, and Jamey Johnson, an award-winning singer-songwriter born in Enterprise, are in Tuberville’s group at the prestigious golf event in metro Birmingham. All three men are set for a 9 a.m. start at Greystone Golf & Country Club. They’re playing with pro John Daly, a former PGA Tour champ known for his powerful swing and freewheeling personality.

Tuberville, 70, a longtime golf enthusiast, was ranked among “Washington, D.C.’s Top 100 Golfers” in 2023 by Golf Digest. The Alabama senator and former Auburn University football coach played for two years on the golf team at Southern Arkansas University.

Tuberville has been a regular at the Regions Tradition Celebrity Pro-Am, playing in 2024, 2023 and previous years.

Green, 36, has earned widespread fame for country singles such as “There Was This Girl‚” “Different ‘Round Here,” “Worst Way” and “you look like you love me,” his ACM-winning duet with Alabama’s Ella Langley. When he’s not performing on tour, Green is an avid golfer and outdoorsman, posting about his pursuits on social media.

Green hosted the inaugural Buford Bonds Foundation Golf Tournament at Silver Lakes Golf Course on April 17 in Gadsden, for example. The event raised more than $150,000 for Green’s charitable foundation, which is named after his grandfathers, Buford Green and Lendon Bonds.

Johnson, 49, played in the Buford Bonds tournament, as well, calling the event “a day of music, memories, and giving back” via social media. The country star, a 10-time Grammy nominee, is best known for his 2008 breakthrough hit “In Color” and the platinum-selling album “That Lonesome Song.”

Johnson, who grew up in Montgomery, is an avid golfer and one of the owners of the Cottonwood Golf Club in Montgomery. He and Green are friends, teaming on the golf course and on stage. The two performed “In Color” at Nashville’s Ryan Auditorium in 2023 at a benefit concert, for instance, and Johnson appeared with Green and Langley in the 2024 video for “you look like you love me.”

Johnson will be an opening act for Green in November, as well, playing several dates on his “Damn Country Music Tour.”

It’s unclear if Green, Johnson, Tuberville and Daly have ever played golf together. However, three members of Wednesday’s foursome — Green, Tuberville and Daly — were in the same group at the Regions Tradition Celebrity Pro-Am in 2023 and 2024. They were joined in 2023 by Alabama singer Randy Owen, and in 2024 by longtime radio host Bill “Bubba” Bussey.

Several other famous amateur golfers will be paired with pros on Wednesday at the Pro-Am, including Charles Barkley, Nick Saban, Bo Jackson, Hugh Freeze and Kalen DeBoer.

Country-soul singer Taylor Hicks will hit the links, as well, in a group with Greg McElroy, AJ McCarron and pro Tom Lehman. (See the full list of celebrities and tee times here.)

The Celebrity Pro-Am is a popular event for star-gazers and part of the 2025 Regions Tradition Presented by Coca-Cola. The tournament schedule runs Wednesday through Sunday, May 14-18, at Greystone, a private, 36-hole golf club at 4100 Greystone Drive in Hoover. Tickets for the Pro-Am are sold out.

The Regions Tradition Champions Tour event follows the Celebrity Pro-Am, with four rounds of championship play set for Thursday through Sunday. Doug Barron is the defending champ in an event that’s considered one of five senior “major” tournaments by the PGA.

The Regions Tradition also raises money for local charities, with Children’s of Alabama as the primary beneficiary.

Former Big 12 running back signs with South Alabama

South Alabama has signed transfer running back Trae’von Dunbar, who played last season at West Virginia.

Dunbar, originally from South Carolina, did not play in a game last season for the Mountaineers while redshirting. A three-star recruit in the 2024 class, he has four years of eligibility remaining.

Dunbar joins a South Alabama running back group that returns starter Kentrel Bullock from last season, though Bullock will be a senior in 2025. The Jaguars ended the spring with three other running backs on scholarship — senior Iverson Celestine and redshirt sophomores PJ Martin and Keenan Phillips — and will welcome in freshman signee Julyon Jordan this summer.

Dunbar is South Alabama’s ninth transfer portal signee during the current cycle. The Jaguars finished 7-6 in 2024, its third consecutive winning season.

Hawaii land board vote deals setback to Army at key combat training ground in Pacific theater

HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii’s land board rejected the Army’s environmental impact statement to retain land on the Big Island used for live-fire training, a vote some Native Hawaiian leaders say reflects a growing distrust of the U.S. military in the islands.

The state Board of Land and Natural Resources voted Friday after members considered voluminous written testimony and listened to hours of oral comments, including from many in the Native Hawaiian community citing environmental destruction and cultural desecration.

The Army calls the Pohakuloa Training Area the “premier” combat training grounds in the Pacific theater for all U.S. ground forces, including the Army, Marines, Navy and Air Force.

Board Chair Dawn Chang later called the vote “one of the hardest decisions that I have had to make.”

Chang said the decision was based on the adequacy of the environmental review and not about the merits of whether the Army should not conduct training in Hawaii. No decision has been made on the Army’s long-term lease request. The Army’s lease for 23,000 acres (9,308 hectares) is set to expire in 2029.

What happens next is up to the Army, Chang said.

The Army, noting that the environmental impact statement was created with community input, said in a statement that it was observing a 30-day waiting period. After that, the Army will determine how much land it will seek to retain.

The vote was a “pleasant surprise” to activists who are concerned that military training in Hawaii harms island aquifers, sensitive wildlife and ancient Hawaiian burials, said Healani Sonoda-Pale, a Native Hawaiian activist. It was unexpected because of the military’s economic stronghold on Hawaii, she said.

“Friday’s vote is a real shift,” Sonoda-Pale told The Associated Press Monday. “I think the shift here happened because of the Red Hill spill. The military lost a lot of trust and respect.”

In 2021, jet fuel leaked into the Navy water system serving 93,000 people on and around the Pearl Harbor base. It sickened thousands in military housing and heightened concerns about leaks at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility.

The military eventually agreed to drain the tanks, amid state orders and protests from Native Hawaiians and other Hawaii residents worried about the threat posed to Honolulu’s water supply. The tanks sit above an aquifer supplying water to 400,000 people in urban Honolulu.

“U.S. Army Hawai’i understands and deeply respects the concerns expressed by community members, cultural practitioners, and environmental advocates regarding the Army’s presence and activities at Pōhakuloa Training Area,” Lt. Col. Tim Alvarado, U.S. Army Garrison Pōhakuloa commander, said in a statement. “We recognize that past actions have caused harm and eroded trust, and we continue to seek a balance with consideration for the cultural and environmental significance of this land.”

The U.S. Army is seeking to return nearly 3,300 acres (1,335 hectares) of leased lands back to the state and retain 19,700 acres (7,972 hectares) to sustain training, the Army statement said.

Hawaii’s congressional delegation issued a joint statement saying they “believe there can be a path forward that accounts for the critical importance of Hawaii’s role in our country’s national security strategy and fundamentally respects and responds to the needs of the people of Hawaii.”

In a statement, Gov. Josh Green acknowledged the rejected environmental impact statement presents challenges but doesn’t end the conversation: “This is a time for collaboration, not division, as we seek balanced solutions that honor both our heritage and our future.”

Former Alabama high school QB ready to lead when Indianapolis Colts’ rookie minicamp started

By the time Riley Leonard reported for work with the Indianapolis Colts at their rookie minicamp over the weekend, the former Fairhope High School quarterback already had been working.

“What’s been cool is I’ve been able to hop on Zooms with my (quarterbacks) coach, Cam Turner, ever since I got drafted,” Leonard said. “So we hit a Zoom a day for around 45 minutes or so, and I’ve been just learning the offense.

“And it’s been really good for me to kind of learn six installs and then go back to Day 1 install when I get here. That does a lot when you’re trying to lead a team and be a rookie quarterback stepping into a program. It’s like, ‘Hey, I kind of know your splits and I know your depth and I can talk you through the routes and my reads and my concepts because I’m confident in it.’ So that’s been really good. The system’s very friendly, quarterback-friendly — a lot of options in your progressions and things like that.”

The Colts chose Leonard in the sixth round of the NFL Draft on April 26, and he reached out for Pro Bowl help to prepare for his entry into the NFL. The football coach at St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Philip Rivers had a 17-year NFL career, earned seven Pro Bowl invitations and ranks sixth in NFL history in passing yards and touchdown passes.

“The first time I really got to work with him was when I brought six receivers down to his house, which is like two minutes from my house,” Leonard said. “And I brought six Notre Dame receivers down there last summer to train for three days. We stayed at my hometown, took them to all the good spots and then we trained with Philip, which was very beneficial for me because I did that in the summer, but all of spring ball, I was hurt. I had three surgeries that offseason, so I wasn’t able to participate in spring ball, so Philip played a huge part of our development as a Notre Dame offense.

“And then throughout this offseason, I went back home to train, and he was very influential throughout that process. And then I got drafted to the Colts, and the first guy I’m hitting up is Philip. Like, ‘Hey, when can I come over to your house?’ And, obviously, he’s a busy man, so sometimes it was later at night where we were just going over the playbook, talking ball, because he understands and knows this scheme very well from his playing days.”

Shane Steichen, the Colts’ head coach, worked six seasons with Rivers with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers, including four as the quarterbacks coach.

Leonard said Rivers shared “some things here and there that Shane really likes and likes to see in young quarterbacks. I think a guy who can put his head down and go to work and come in humbly is a big thing. And then making the right read, right? You don’t want to be the guy to skip a hitch and try to throw a corner route versus certain coverages. Like, if you can take 5 yards, take 5 yards. Be disciplined. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone other than the fact that you can operate the offense.”

Leonard said he had something of a rehearsal for his move to the Colts when he transferred to Notre Dame after three seasons at Duke. The Fighting Irish advanced all the way to the CFP national-championship game with Leonard under center in 2024.

“Lucky for me, I went from Duke to Notre Dame, which was a big step, so to speak, in college football,” Leonard said, “so having a new locker room that I had to adjust to last year really helped me out this time around.

“And, fortunately, going to the national championship, a lot of guys kind of know me and my brand, which I’m very fortunate for because I’ve always kind of been the guy who didn’t have any offers, really. Went to Duke. I was probably their eighth quarterback that they wanted to commit, but I committed kind of on the spot. I was just kind of always the guy that nobody knew, so it’s been cool for guys to reach out to me, too.”

Leonard said the experience at Notre Dame made him more NFL-ready in other ways, too.

“You learn how to be a professional from the day you walk into the locker room,” Leonard said. “And you don’t learn it through the X’s and O’s in the playbook. You learn it from the environment around you. So like if I went into Notre Dame’s facility at 10 p.m. at night, there’s guys in there constantly working because they’re all trying to make it to the NFL and win a national championship. That is our goal as a program, and everybody’s in there for the same purpose, rhyme and reason, so I think Notre Dame teaches you the intangibles that just set you up perfectly for the next level.”

With rookie minicamp over and his first NFL contract signed, Leonard can join the Colts’ veteran players in the team’s offseason program.

Leonard became the third quarterback on the Indianapolis roster.

The fourth pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Anthony Richardson started four of his first five games as a rookie QB before an injury sidelined him for the rest of the season. Richardson started 11 games in 2024, but the Colts also used veteran Joe Flacco as their starter in six games.

Flacco is with the Cleveland Browns now, but former New York Giants starter Daniel Jones joined Indianapolis as a free agent this offseason to provide competition for the starting spot.

Egg prices see sharp drop but remain historically high

After a continuous surge in pricing due to inflation and bird flu outbreaks, the cost of eggs finally dropped between March and April of this year.

But economists told AP News shoppers could soon be feeling negative impacts once again as President Donald Trump’s tariffs take effect this summer.

Between March and April, the average price of eggs of all sizes fell 12.7%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

This was the first month-to-month drop in egg prices since October 2024 and the steepest monthly decline since March 1984, according to AP News.

The average price for a dozen Grade A eggs fell to $5.12 last month after reaching a record high of $6.23 in March.

While lower, the price for eggs remains 79% higher than the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported for the same month a year ago, when the price averaged $2.86 per dozen.

David L. Ortega, a professor of food economics and policy at Michigan State University, told AP News he thinks U.S. egg prices will continue to fall in May and June.

Consumer demand tends to fall after Easter, which helps lower prices, he said.

There have also been fewer bird flu outbreaks at commercial poultry operations in recent weeks that has helped to stabilize the country’s egg supply, he added.

But Trump’s sweeping tariff plan may drive up the price of eggs imported from other countries.

The U.S. has increased imports of eggs from a number of countries including Turkey and South Korea to mitigate shortages and increase supplies caused by the avian flu that’s decimating chicken flocks.

Per Newsweek, products from both countries will face new tariffs of 10 percent and 26 percent, respectively.

Mobile police report overall drop in violent crime in 2024 despite increase in homicides

Violent crime in Mobile fell by 11 percent in 2024 despite a small uptick in homicides, according to the Mobile Police Department’s annual crime report.

The report calculates violent crimes as all documented cases of homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault.

Violent crime incidents totaled 1562 in 2024 compared to 1750 in 2023. Most incidents were for aggravated assaults which amounted to 1330 cases.

From 2023 to 2024 all of these crimes were down except for homicides which slightly grew from 33 to 38, including a vehicle manslaughter incident.

According to the report, most homicides in 2024 occurred in March with 7. The majority of murders were because of altercations, 13, followed by domestic violence and unknown reasons, both at 7.

Based on the report documented violent crimes continue to trend down since 2021.

Will new regional water works board go DOGE at first meeting?

The board of the new regional entity formerly known as the Birmingham Water Works quickly took shape and is preparing to go DOGE on its predecessor’s financial moves.

The agenda for its initial meeting Wednesday evening, obtained by AL.com, shows the new seven-member board may quickly dissect the employment contracts approved by the previous nine-member board at its May 6 meeting, as well as grants awarded and payments to consultants made in the last 24 months.

The yet-to-be renamed regional board is also slated to address the approval of a purchase agreement to sell the water works assets, valued at $1.6 billion, to the city of Birmingham for one dollar. The prior board voted 5- 2 (two members were absent) for the agreement at a special-called board meeting on Wednesday, May 7, a few hours after Gov. Kay Ivey signed SB330 into law.

The law created the new board and shifted the power from Birmingham (which controlled 6 seats on the previous board) to areas outside the county where the vast majority of water works customers reside.

Birmingham controls only two seats on the new board, with the mayor and city council each having one appointment.

On Tuesday, the city council unanimously approved the appointment of Sheila Tyson to the new board. Tyson, a member of the Jefferson County Commission and a BWWB customer who resides in Jefferson County, said she did not ask for the appointment but was approached for the role by the council.

“I can’t talk about other public officials not fighting for or helping people and get an opportunity to sit at the table and fight for them where I just might be able to make a difference,” she said. “If I turned it down, that would make me a hypocrite.”

Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin appointed Jarvis Patton, chief of staff under former Mayor William Bell, to the board.

“To me, it is both an honor and privilege to be asked to serve, and that the system has enabled me to turn to the political arena when I can be a benefit to the citizens of Birmingham,” Patton said.

Retired engineer Phillip Wiedmeyer was appointed by Jefferson County Commission chair Jimmie Stephens.

Gov. Ivey’s office appointed Thomas C. Hudson, Jr. Her office said in a press release that Hudson “has a general business background.”

Lt. Governor Will Ainsworth appointed Bill Morris, longtime Leeds Water Works general manager. Morris will represent St. Clair County, which is not mentioned in the new law but is allowed since the water works also services that area.

“It’s just an honor being appointed by the lieutenant governor,” Morris said Thursday.

Shelby County appointed Jeffery Brumlow, an attorney and former county commissioner; and Blount County appointed retired police captain and state Rep. David Standridge.

Here’s the regional board’s preliminary agenda for May 14, 2025:

A. Comprehensive set of policies

B. Unaudited financial and operating reports

C. Long-term debt schedule and debt service requirements

D. Employment contracts approved on May 6, 2025

E. Grant recipients last 24 months

F. Consultant (lawyers, lobbyists, communications, and other consultants) payments last 24 months

G. Asset transfer resolution

Also to be addressed are retirement packages for three employees and a surviving spouse; and Mulberry Intake Emergency Transformer and electrical repairs.
