 College Football Player News & Notes


  Transfer Football   Washington State quarterback Cameron Ward became the latest big name quarterback to announce plans to enter the transfer portal on Friday. Ward posted on social media that he will be evaluating his prospects for the NFL draft while also entering his name in the portal as a grad transfer. Ward was fourth in the country throwing for for 3,736 yards and 25 touchdowns this season for the Cougars. But it was a tumultuous season for Washington State that started with the school being left out in the latest round of conference realignment, included a 4-0 start and was followed by a six-game losing streak.

Ward was at the center of praise for Washington State's hot start but also criticism for the losing streak that cost the Cougars a chance at a bowl game. Washington State's season ended last week with a 24-21 loss to rival Washington. If Ward stays in college this will be his second transfer. He started his career at FCS school Incarnate Word, where he threw for 4,648 yards and 47 touchdowns in the 2021 season. Ward arrived in Pullman before the 2022 season and threw for 3,232 yards and 23 touchdowns in his first season with the Cougars. - AP College Football

  Illinois Football   2023 ALL-BIG TEN FIRST TEAM: WR Isaiah Williams, Illinois,...Williams was one of the nation's most dependable receivers, leading the Big Ten in receptions with 82, 15 more than any other Big Ten player. He ranked second in receiving yards with 1,055, trailing only Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year Marvin Harrison Jr.'s 1,211 receiving yards for Ohio State. Williams has at least one catch in all 37 games since he switched from QB prior to the start of the 2021 season, the longest active streak in the Big Ten, tied for the eighth-longest active streak in the nation, and tied with the Illinois record previously set by Josh Ferguson (2011-15).

His five 100-yard receiving games this season was fourth-best in Illinois single-season history, only one short from tying the Illinois record by Brandon Lloyd (2001) and David Williams (1984, '85). Williams was the only player in the nation with two game-winning touchdowns in the final minute or overtime during the regular season. He caught the game-winner with 50 seconds left to win at Minnesota, then had a walk-off winner to beat Indiana one week later. Williams' outstanding Illini career currently places him No. 2 in Illini history in career receptions with 214, behind only College Football Hall of Famer David Williams' 262 receptions (1983-85), and No. 7 in receiving yards with 2,304. He was the first Big Ten player with 80+ catches in back-to-back years since Dorien Bryant (Purdue) in 2006 and 2007. - Illinois Football

  South Carolina Football   Quarterback Spencer Rattler, perhaps the brightest spot for South Carolina in a losing season, is giving up his final year in college for the NFL. Rattler, a fifth-year senior who spent his first three seasons at Oklahoma, announced his intentions Wednesday on social media. "This has been a dream and goal of mine since I was a little kid and cannot wait for the chance to turn my dream into reality," he said in his post. Rattler called his two years with the Gamecocks the best of his football life. He led South Carolina to consecutive wins over top 10-, potentially playoff-bound teams in Tennessee and Clemson in 2022, when the Gamecocks went 8-5.

Rattler and the team had higher hopes this season, but a four-game SEC losing streak in September and October left them at 5-7. South Carolina fell to rival Clemson 16-7 this past Saturday night, when Rattler was pressured throughout the game and held to a season-low 112 passing yards. "This place meant everything to me," Rattler said afterward. "Coming here, in two years and just enjoying every moment: the adversity, the success. I wanted to be a part of change in this program. And I feel like I put 110% effort into it every day." He teased fans that he might make use of his sixth season of eligibility before declaring that he was turning pro. Rattler finished his career with 10,807 yards passing, 77 touchdowns and 32 interceptions. His draft status is all over the place in year considered deep with talented quarterbacks. Rattler appeared in some first-round mock drafts earlier this fall. He also has been projected as a late second-day or early third-day selection. He started all 25 games at South Carolina and 42 of 48 contests in his career, which began with the Sooners. - AP College Football
