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

11/22/20 - James Graham, rJr/2023, Georgia Southern, 6-0, 195 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Georgia Tech quarterback James Graham entered the transfer portal, a team spokesman confirmed Thursday morning. Graham, a sophomore, started eight games as a redshirt freshman in 2019, but was displaced by freshman quarterback Jeff Sims this season. Graham played in one game this season, coming in for Sims in the second half of the loss to Boston College. Graham played four possessions and led the Jackets on a 55-yard touchdown drive.

In a statement posted from his Twitter account, Graham wrote that he has "fought some internal battles for quite a while," but that he refused to let them be a setback. "I told my mom that I would never give up on my dreams no matter what the situation was," he wrote. He called his decision to leave Tech "not the end but the beginning of a new chapter." Graham started the final eight games of the 2019 season, showing potential and playmaking ability but also inconsistency. The four-star prospect from Fitzgerald High finished the season completing 87 of 193 passes (45.1%) for 1,164 yards with 12 touchdown and seven interceptions. - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

TJ Smith's first season at Kansas State has been cut short. Smith, a freshman defensive back for the Wildcats, tweeted Saturday that he'll miss the rest of the season. Smith wrote that he found out Oct. 16 that he had torn his ACL and wouldn't be able to play another game this fall. "At first I thought why me, but God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers," Smith wrote. "I hate not being out there with my brothers, but I know they'll hold it down. I'll be back 100x better." Smith had appeared in K-State's first four games this season as a reserve safety. He finishes this season with seven tackles (five solo, two assisted). His best performance came against Texas Tech, when he tallied four tackles (three solo, one assisted) in K-State's 31-21 victory. - Manhattan Mercury

10/09/20 - NaJee Thompson, rSr/2023, Georgia Southern, 5-10, 200 (DS#125 CB) + More +

NaJee Thompson's effort Saturday night certainly was special, and he was rewarded as the Sun Belt Conference Special Teams Player of the Week. Thompson, a junior slotback, blocked two ULM punts, with the second one recovered by teammate Rashad Byrd in the end zone for what proved to be the winning points. His three career blocks - tied for the seventh-most in Eagles history - all have come at ULM, and the first in 2018 also resulted in a score. "I just want to make plays for the special teams, 24/7," Thompson said after the victory. "Practice, when special teams come up, it's like a rush for me. In the game, every opportunity I take. Special teams, I definitely take pride in. I love it. Even when I get (to play) on offense, I get a limited opportunity, so when I go out there, I've got to make them count." Thompson is the first Eagles player to receive an SBC weekly honor this season. - Savannah Morning News
