Big Ten Media Days Move to Las Vegas

The 2025 Big Ten Football Media Days will be held at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas from July 22-24, marking a move from its previous location in Indianapolis as part of the conference's westward expansion. All 18 conference teams will be represented by their head coaches and three players each. Penn State's delegation features quarterback Drew Allar, center Nick Dawkins, and safety Zakee Wheatley, all entering their final seasons after a strong playoff run. Nebraska is sending head coach Matt Rhule, lineman Henry Lutovsky, quarterback Dylan Raiola, and safety Deshon Singleton, spotlighting Raiola's record-setting freshman season and veteran leadership. Rutgers will be represented by quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis, linebacker Dariel Djabome, and wide receiver Ian Strong, with Kaliakmanis coming off a historic season and Djabome leading the defense. Purdue, under new head coach Barry Odom after a tough 2024, will be represented by Devin Mockobee, CJ Madden, and Tony Grimes; the Big Ten Network will provide live coverage.
