Baby Gronk's real name is Madden San Miguel. He made waves when he collaborated with LSU gymnast Olivia Dunne last March.

A few months later, a post on Baby Gronk's Instagram suggested that he had retired from football.

Baby Gronk's father, Jake San Miguel, is a digital marketer in the Dallas area. He is responsible for managing much of his son's social media presence.

Hailey Van Lith is making waves on the court

Meanwhile, Hailey Van Lith was named to the John R. Wooden Award Preseason Watch List on Thursday. The watch list comprises the top 50 college basketball players nationwide, chosen through a preseason poll conducted by college basketball experts.

The Wooden Award recognizes the best college player in the country, and Van Lith was considered to be on the Wooden Award All-American Team.

In October, she was named to the Naismith Trophy Preseason Watch List, another honor recognizing national player-of-the-year potential. These accomplishments underscore her five-year college career.

A native of Wenatchee, Washington, Van Lith was voted Preseason Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Year and selected to the Preseason All-Big 12 team, as decided by the conference’s head coaches.

Her TCU debut on Tuesday showcased exactly why she’s a top contender: she recorded 21 points, seven assists, a career-high six steals, and five rebounds. Her contributions led the Horned Frogs to a dominant 78-41 win over Houston Christian.

Van Lith leads all Division I athletes in games played, having competed in 135 games. She also ranks sixth nationally and second in the Big 12 for career points, totaling 1,957 points to date. Van Lith and the TCU team are set to play again this Sunday, hosting New Orleans at Schollmaier Arena.
