  North Carolina linebacker Khadry Jackson will enter the transfer portal, according to the school. He started on the first-team defense Saturday during the Tar Heels' spring game in place of Jeremiah Gemmel, who was purposely held out of the game by coach Mack Brown to get a better look at Jackson and younger players. Gemmel will be a starter come fall, as will Eugene Asante as a second interior linebacker. Brown has pledged to play more people defensively after Gemmel and Chazz Surratt played most of the snaps the past two seasons. Jackson's decision will make the Heels much younger on the depth chart. - Raleigh News Observer

  The tight ends group is deep. Prior to Harsin's arrival, Auburn went out and recruited the position hard and brought in a number of large players with great hands. Last season, John Samuel Shenker and Luke Deal played a lot of snaps while J.J. Pegues made a name for himself. Brandon Frazier was injured, but he came in as a highly touted recruit, and then 2020 recruit Landen King kept his commitment despite the coaching change. But when the first team offense lined up for A-Day, Tyler Fromm was the tight end lined up with them. Then, after the ball was snapped, Fromm caught the first pass of the entire game. He was the only tight end with a catch, and he finished with one for 13 yards. For a guy who played in just one game in 2020 and recorded no stats, running with the starters is a big leap, even considering that returning starter Shenker did not participate in A-Day. Since the Auburn offense showed that it can use up to three tight ends at a time, it seems there will be a place for the sophomore to make a difference this season. - Birmingham News

  04/14/21 - Davis BrinrSr/2024, Georgia Southern, 6-2, 207 (DS#33 QB) + More +

  The last time the University of Tulsa played at H.A. Chapman Stadium, Davis Brin put on a show. What happened Saturday was less dramatic than the Nov. 19 comeback against Tulane, but Brin took another step toward the No. 1 quarterback role with a solid outing in the annual spring game. "That (Tulane) game definitely helped me gain some confidence coming into the spring, knowing that a lot of guys have my back," Brin said. "We picked up right where we left off from that game." During a conservatively called scrimmage in front of a small crowd, Brin connected on the first play with JuanCarlos Santana for a 36-yard gain. He finished 13-of-24 passing for 173 yards, showing poise and committing few mistakes. "Obviously there's some things in there that we would like to continue to keep working on, but overall I'm really pleased with his progress," coach Philip Montgomery said. "I'm pleased with the chemistry he has right now with our receivers and he's seeing the field well. We still have work to do, but I like where he's at right now." - Tulsa World

  As physically challenging as football is as a sport, the mental aspect also has brought out Justin Ellis' toughness. For every two steps forward in his career, it seems the Georgia Southern redshirt senior defensive end had taken one step back. "This is always what I wanted to do," Ellis, 21, said after an Eagles practice last week. "You've got to see it through. That's how I've always looked at it...I'll put my faith in God, and whatever happens, happens." He recovered from a broken leg as a high school junior to record 19 sacks his senior season and lead Roswell to a state championship game appearance.

Ellis thought he had missed his chance to play in a Power Five conference and was considering Group of Five programs when Syracuse of the ACC offered him a scholarship after National Signing Day. But his time in Syracuse was brief and unhappy - he points to his position coach's style of coaching - so he came home after his freshman year to the Peach State. He found a much better fit at Georgia Southern, one of those Group of Five programs that recruited him at Roswell. He liked playing for defensive line coach Victor Cabral, whom he knew through summer camps. Ellis sat out the 2018 season as a transfer. - Savannah Morning News

  Shortly after the New Orleans Bowl went final, true senior defensive end Raymond Johnson III tweeted that he would forego his extra season of eligibility and enter the 2021 NFL draft. Johnson is the first GS defensive lineman in a while who could find his way onto an NFL roster after a season with 38 tackles and five sacks to earn All-Sun Belt first-team honors. The defensive lineman's success is a positive sign for his position coach Victor Cabral, who just finished up his third season in the current role. Cabral should return the rest of his defensive line in 2021, led by nose tackle C.J. Wright and defensive ends Justin Ellis and Dillon Springer. - Savannah Morning News
