AUSTIN (KXAN) — An officer stunned a man early Tuesday morning after police said he kept striking himself with a metal object. The man later died at a local hospital. Police said they began receiving multiple 911 calls at about 3:05 a.m. about a pedestrian on U.S. 183 near the 12300 block of Research Blvd. The callers told police the man had obvious injuries to his body.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:12:13 GMT

Koi Perich has become a prime example of how the high school football recruiting process doesn’t truly begin until that coveted prospect has given a verbal commitment to one college program.Perich is a do-everything athlete at Esko High School, a mid-size program about 20 miles south of Duluth. With a four-star rating in the 2024 class, he makes it look easy at the Class 3A high school program, and at a smooth and physical 6 foot 2 and 195 pounds, he has received a level of interest rarely seen in Northeastern Minnesota.Perich committed to the Gophers in April — and Ohio State inquired about him that same day. As Perich continues to stack up reams of highlights so far this season, Southern Cal offered him a scholarship on Sunday.“Schools are going to keep recruiting,” Perich told the Pioneer Press on Monday. “That’s just what recruited is. It’s fun because they come out with new opportunities, so it’s pretty cool.”George Perich, Koi’s father and Esko’s defensive coordinator, h...
