Henry Ruggs scores significant academic win from prison.

Former Las Vegas Raiders wide Receiver Henry Ruggs III has scored a major academic win from behind bars.

Ruggs, a standout pass catcher at the University of Alabama, has reportedly graduated. According to Jordan Schultz, Ruggs completed his degree with the university, having recently been moved to a maximum security prison.

The 26-year-old was sentenced to three to ten years in prison in 2023. That is after pleading guilty to driving under the influence and vehicular manslaughter.

Schultz is reporting that the player made the President’s List with a 4.0 GPA despite his incarceration.

“Former NFL WR Henry Ruggs has graduated from the University of Alabama, completing his degree after being named to the President’s List with a 4.0 GPA during his final semester,” he wrote.

Ruggs was a first-round pick by the Raiders in 2020. He registered 1,716 yards and 24 touchdowns on just 98 receptions in three years with Alabama.

He lasted less than two seasons with Vegas. The wideout caused a fatal crash in November 2021. He killed Tina Tintor, 23, along with her dog in the accident.

Ruggs was driving at 156 MPH in a 45 MPH zone. As a result, he slammed into her car at 127 MPH, resulting in her burning to death.

Cops said his blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit.

Meanwhile, Henry Ruggs has not given up on football. He is said to be training for a return to the pros once he is released.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
