The sports world has moved to social media like everything else. Here are four Twitter follows you’ll want to hit and won’t regret this week: 

@Mac_BZ: The account of Vicksburg native Malcolm Butler should be abuzz after the unheralded Patriots defensive back became the hero of Super Bowl 49. 

@munzly: Hattiesburg American writer Jason Munz is the one to follow for the latest developments on the worsening NCAA investigation at Southern Miss. 

Nativeflash22.blogspot.com: It’s not a Twitter account, but it is the travel blog of former Ole Miss bad-boy Marshall Henderson, who’s now playing in Qatar. Enough said. 

@JxnFreePress: Just in case you needed a reminder. With more than 13,000 followers, it’s the online source for the city’s  smart alternative.
