LOS ANGELES — Tommy Maher, easily, could have landed comfortably in the FCS. The offers awaited this past recruiting cycle, even in the absence of an FBS scholarship, for a 5-foot-8 receiver who had authored a quietly standout season at national power St. John Bosco.And yet somehow, without anything more to offer other than a walk-on spot, Chad Savage convinced Maher to come to Colorado State. The messaging was simple, as St. John Bosco head coach Jason Negro recalled: come in here, you’ll have a shot.A year later, freshman Maher caught a 53-yard touchdown in Colorado State’s victory over Wyoming, and…

Paul Getty Trust said in a statement. “Fortunately, Getty had made extensive efforts to clear brush from the surrounding area as part of its fire mitigation efforts throughout the year,” Fleming said. “Some trees and vegetation on site have burned, but staff and the collection…
