Orlando City acquired midfielder Luis Otavio from Brazilian Serie A side Internacional on Friday.

The 18-year-old Brazilian is under contract through 2027-28 with an option for 2028-29.

He will occupy a U22 Initiative roster slot in Orlando after making 28 first-team appearances for Internacional.

“Luis is an exciting young talent that we’re proud to bring to Orlando,” said general manager and sporting director Ricardo Moreira. “At just 18 years old, he’s already shown he can compete at a high level in Brazil’s top division, and we believe his defensive qualities and composure will translate well to MLS.

“Signing him as part of the U22 Initiative gives us the opportunity to invest in his development while strengthening our midfield for the future. Luis is a player for the future of Orlando City.”

Otavio joins a South American midfield group that includes Colombia’s Eduard Atuesta and Peru’s Wilder Cartagena.

Michigan Hires Utah Legend Kyle Whittingham as Head Coach, Per Report

Michigan has found its next head coach, as the Wolverines are hiring former Utah Utes coach Kyle Whittingham to a five-year deal, per Yahoo Sports. Whittingham announced earlier this month his plans to step down after Utah's bow game vs. Nebraska – the Las Vegas Bowl is set for Dec. 31 – following his multi-decade tenure with the program.

Eagles DT Jalen Carter expected to return vs. Bills after 1-month absence

PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is expected to play Sunday against the Buffalo Bills after missing one month because of injuries to his shoulders, giving the Eagles’ defense a major boost entering the postseason. He is not on the final injury report after returning to practice this week.AdvertisementCarter, the centerpiece of the defense, had played through pain in both shoulders throughout the season. It reached a boiling point after Week 13, when he underwent a procedure in an attempt to get healthier for the Eagles’ playoff run. Carter said the pain and limited flexibility became so bad that he could not even do a push-up by the time he was sidelined. He now has strength back in his shoulders, and he noticed a difference in practice.“I’m going to play blocks better, play with my hands more,” Carter […]
