12/02/22 - Davis Brin, rSr/2024, Georgia Southern + More +

Although action doesn't officially start until Monday, among the reported quarterbacks in, or planning to be to enter the transfer portal as of Dec. 1 are Tulsa's Braylon Braxton and Davis Brin: Tulsa fired coach Phillip Montgomery, and both quarterbacks who started a game for the Golden Hurricane are moving on. Brin started nine games this season, with Braxton - a redshirt freshman - starting the other three when Brin was injured. Brin, who also started in 2021, has had problems with interceptions, throwing 24 picks in two seasons (to 35 TD passes); he has one season of eligibility remaining. Braxton has intriguing upside and some dual-threat capabilities. - NFL Draft Scout and online sources

11/26/22 - Kyle Vantrease, rSr/2023, Georgia Southern + More +

Kyle Vantrease threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Ezrah Archie for the game-winning score to lead Georgia Southern to a dramatic 51-48 double overtime win over Appalachian State on Saturday night. Despite entering with six wins, the Mountaineers needed the victory to become bowl eligible because two of their wins were against FCS-members Robert Morris and The Citadel, leaving them one win shy of five required wins against FBS teams. Appalachian State started the season with a 63-61 home loss to North Carolina before going to College Station, Texas and beating then No. 6 Texas A&M 17-14.

Georgia Southern (6-6, 3-5 Sun Belt) needed the win to become bowl eligible. Each team scored a touchdown in the first overtime, and the Mountaineers' Michael Hughes kicked a 32-yard field goal in Appalachian State's second overtime possession. After Vantrease threw incomplete on first down, he came back with a laser to Archie and Georgia Southern fans stormed the field. Hughes missed a 30-yard field goal as time expired in regulation with the game tied at 38. Vantrease threw for 385 yards and three touchdowns. Nate Noel ran for 171 yards on 12 carries with three touchdowns for the Mountaineers (6-6, 3-5). - Georgia Southern/AP College Football

Kyle Vantrease threw four touchdown passes, including a 22-yarder to Derwin Burgess Jr. with 1:10 remaining, and Georgia Southern beat No. 25 James Madison 45-38 on Saturday to spoil the Dukes' first appearance in the AP Top 25. Vantrease passed for a school-record 578 yards and had three receivers with more than 100 yards as the Eagles (4-3, 1-2 Sun Belt Conference) shredded James Madison's proud defense. James Madison (5-1, 3-1) led 14-0 early in the game and 24-14 early in the second half. The Dukes, who moved into the Top 25 in their first FBS season by ranking second in the nation in total defense, couldn't stop Georgia Southern's comeback despite holding the Eagles to 12 rushing yards. Todd Centeio's 25-yard touchdown pass to Terrance Greene Jr. gave James Madison a 38-37 lead with 2:28 remaining.

Vantrease brought the Eagles down the field quickly and completed an 11-yard pass to Burgess to set up the decisive score. Anthony Wilson's interception with 18 seconds remaining ended James Madison's final drive. Centeio ran for three touchdowns and completed 28 of 48 attempts for 468 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. Georgia Southern scored 20 unanswered points after trailing 24-14. The Eagles took their first lead on Vantrease's 37-yard touchdown pass to Jalen White late in the third quarter. Alex Raynor's 41-yard field goal pushed the Eagles' lead to 34-24 early in the fourth. Centeio's 28-yard scoring pass to Reggie Brown cut Georgia Southern's lead to 34-31, and after Raynor's 24-yard field goal extended the Eagles' lead 37-31, Centeio put the Dukes back in front. Georgia Southern's Amare Jones had seven catches for 164 yards and two touchdowns. Khaleb Hood had eight catches for 131 yards and Jeremy Singleton had seven catches for 108 yards. It was Georgia Southern's second noteworthy win of the season, following a 45-42 win at Nebraska on Sept. 10. - Georgia Southern/AP College Football

10/12/22 - Todd Bradley-Glenn, rSr/2023, Georgia Southern + More +

The plague of injuries that has marred Todd Bradley-Glenn's football career appears to have no bounds. The Georgia Southern inside linebacker will miss the rest of this season with a knee injury requiring surgery, head coach Clay Helton said Monday. Bradley-Glenn, a seventh-year player, already was sidelined two games because of a dislocated elbow and returned to action Saturday at Georgia State, only to suffer the knee injury on the first series of the second half. In parts of four games for the Eagles (3-3, 0-2 Sun Belt Conference), he has 10 solo tackles, nine assisted tackles, one tackle for loss and one quarterback hurry. Bradley-Glenn is a team co-captain and the quarterback of the defense as the mike linebacker relaying the play call to teammates. Helton used the word "unfortunate" when announcing the knee injury, which follows the player's personal history of adversity. - Savannah Morning News

Georgia Southern (3-1) trailed 23-20 after Ball State's Ben VonGunten kicked a 25-yard field goal with 12:39 remaining in the game. Georgia Southern was forced to punt on its next possession, but Anthony Beck II's punt pinned the Cardinals at their own 8-yard line. The Eagles' defense forced a three-and-out and they got the ball back on the Ball State 43-yard line. Six plays later Vantrease hit JJay Mcafee for a 7-yard touchdown and a 27-23 lead with 7:04 left. Ball State (1-3) was forced to punt and Vantrease threw a 47-yard scoring strike to Amare Jones to finish off a 10-play 86-yard drive and close out the win.

09/19/22 - Todd Bradley-Glenn, rSr/2023, Georgia Southern + More +

Georgia Southern coach Clay Helton said after Saturday's loss to UAB that inside linebacker and team captain Todd Bradley-Glenn suffered a dislocated elbow that caused him to leave the game near the close of the third quarter. "We'll see how significant it is," Helton said. "They did get it back in place and they've got it slinged up. Depending on what the MRI says later on, we'll see how it goes." Bradley-Glenn, in three quarters of play, made four solo tackles and assisted on three others and also had a quarterback hurry. He is in his seventh year after a series of season-ending football injuries and overcoming cancer in high school. He voted one of the team captains before the 2022 opener. - Savannah Morning News
