  Linebackers Antoine Sampah and Phillip Webb, a pair of top 100 recruits in the 2020 class, are no longer on LSU's football team for medical reasons, a team spokesman confirmed Thursday. Sampah and Webb both dealt with injuries during their careers. They were not listed on an updated version of the online roster. Sampah, a former four-star prospect, appeared in six games over the past two years. After missing the last 10 games of the 2021 season, he didn't participate in spring practice.

Webb, who was ranked No. 57 overall coming out of high school, redshirted as a true freshman. He played in three games last season, recording one tackle and a quarterback hurry. Webb opened the spring as a backup outside linebacker, but he only practiced for one week. Webb wasn't seen the rest of spring. Four scholarship players have now been removed from LSU's roster in the last week: Sampah, Webb, fifth-year senior defensive lineman Jarell Cherry and redshirt junior offensive lineman Thomas Perry. They all managed injuries throughout their careers. - Baton Rouge Advocate

  When he began workouts at San Diego State last week, Kenan Christon did not do so with the expectation that he would instantly be regarded as SDSU's No. 1 running back. "I think you should earn the spot you want," said Christon, who transferred to SDSU last month after three years at USC. "Nothing should be given." Christon is confident, however, that he will prove himself to be the Aztecs' top running back - as well as a potential return man - by the time the season opens on Sept. 3. "That's always the expectation," he said of being a starter. "If that happens, great. If not, then I'll go back to the drawing board and keep working."

Christon possesses the confidence - what some call athletic arrogance - that comes with success and faith in his abilities. Asked what he brings to the table, the 5-foot-10, 185-pound Christon said, "My speed is unmatched, for sure. Not to say that anyone else on the team isn't fast or powerful, but I just think I'm a great addition to the team..."I'm a very versatile back. If you need me to carry the ball 25 times, I can do that. If you need me to catch the ball 25 times, I can do that. Whatever it is, I can do it." - San Diego Union Tribune

  Former South Carolina wide receiver Rico Powers announced his commitment to Jackson State on Sunday via Instagram. He entered the transfer portal on April 20. The one-time four-star recruit was not with the team in his press conference immediately following South Carolina's spring game on April 16. Powers played in two games in 2021, catching a pair of passes for 12 yards while redshirting. He appeared in nine games as a true freshman in 2020, catching two passes for 19 yards.

The Georgia native will be coached by former NFL legend Deion Sanders, who is entering his third year as the head coach at Jackson State. Sanders has now landed nine players from Power Five programs in this transfer cycle, including former South Carolina tight end Keveon Mullins. Mullins, like Powers, was a former four-star recruit who opted to transfer out of USC. He didn't appear in a game last season, but notched a trio of catches for 110 yards in two games during the 2020 campaign after moving from receiver to tight end that spring. - Rock Hill Herald

  San Diego State announced Tuesday running back Kenan Christon has joined the Aztecs' football program. Christon's transfer from USC was reported last week in the Union-Tribune. It became official when his grant-in-aid paperwork was received and processed by the university. Christon, a Madison High graduate who also was a sprinter on the USC men's track team, rushed 78 times for 443 yards and two touchdowns (5.5 yards/carry) and added 13 receptions for 126 and three TDs over the 2019-20 seasons. Christon played in USC's 2021 season opener against San Jose State, but was suspended by the school and missed the remainder of the season for an altercation with another USC student. Christon entered the NCAA transfer portal in mid-December.

The 5-foot-10, 185-pound Christon, who was not made available for comment, will be listed as a junior on the SDSU roster, although he could potentially have three seasons of eligibility remaining. Running back is perhaps the deepest position on the SDSU roster with the addition of Christon. The Aztecs have not yet identified the back who will get the most carries following the departure of lead back Greg Bell, who exhausted his eligibility following the 2021 season. Super seniors Chance Bell, who carried 72 times for 341 yards and four touchdowns last season, and Jordan Byrd, who had 37 carries for 246 and three TDs, are the most experienced returners. They came out of spring camp listed as co-starters at the position. - San Diego Union Tribune

  Former Madison High running back Kenan Christon is expected to transfer from USC to SDSU, according to multiple sources. Christon did not immediately respond to messages requesting a comment. Christon, a 5-foot-10, 185-pounder with sprinter's speed, adds even more depth to perhaps the deepest position on the roster. The Los Angeles Times reported last year that Christon was suspended following an altercation with another USC student. USC officials said Christon had seven violations of the student code of conduct, and he was suspended from campus and university activities until December 14, 2022 (the suspension later was shortened to May 12). - San Diego Union-Tribune

  South Carolina football has lost another wide receiver to the transfer portal. Rico Powers, a 6-foot-2 redshirt sophomore, is the latest Gamecock set to leave Shane Beamer's program, the school confirmed Wednesday. Chris Hummer of 247Sports was the first to report. Powers is the third wide receiver to depart the Gamecocks following spring practice, which ended with the Garnet and Black game last Saturday. Beamer said Powers was not with the team in a press conference after South Carolina's spring game. No details were given on his absence, and it is unknown how long Powers was away from the team. Powers played in two games last season and caught two passes for 12 yards, counting a redshirt year. He appeared in nine games as a true freshman in 2020, catching two passes for 19 yards. - Rock Hill Herald

  2021 ALL-SOUTHERN CONFERENCE SECOND TEAM (COACHES): RB Irvin Mulligan, Jr., Wofford,...Mulligan, a junior from Beaufort, S.C., led the Terriers with 854 rushing yards on 124 carries with a team-best eight touchdowns. He was fifth in the SoCon in rushing yards. He has 1,324 career rushing yards on 190 carries with 11 touchdowns. - Wofford Football

  South Carolina is losing another athlete to the transfer portal. Less than an hour after quarterback Jason Brown announced his intention to transfer from USC, a school spokesperson confirmed that tight end Keveon Mullins has entered his name into the transfer portal. David Cloninger of the Post and Courier first reported the news. Mullins was a four-star prospect in the class of 2019 out of Memphis, Tennessee. He was rated the No. 315 player in the class and the No. 18 athlete. The former Whitehaven High School standout had yet to really break into South Carolina's rotation at tight end since arriving in Columbia, but had shown flashes after shifting from receiver to tight end in the spring of 2020. Mullins recorded three catches for 110 yards last season. However, he did not record a single catch this year and appeared in just one game for the Gamecocks. - Rock Hill Herald

  Jason Brown won't try to win his job again. South Carolina's starting quarterback is in the transfer portal, he announced on Dec. 15, and will play his final year of football elsewhere as a graduate transfer. Brown, the Gamecocks' third starter this season, saw like everybody else the addition of former top prep prospect Spencer Rattler to the QB room a couple of days ago. Despite being nearly assured to start the Duke's Mayo Bowl on Dec. 30, Brown got a head start on his new recruiting world and hit the transfer portal. Because he has graduated from USC, he can play right away next season at any school he chooses. When Rattler committed the night of Dec. 13, it threw college football for a loop, and the trickle-down effect immediately landed at USC. Coach Shane Beamer held a team meeting the next day and stressed that competition would always be a hallmark of his program, but Rattler's addition made the picture very clear. - The Post and Courier

  USC running back Kenan Christon's university suspension following a September altercation with a fellow student has been reduced on appeal, activist Najee Ali confirmed on Tuesday. Christon will now be allowed to return to campus on May 12 and resume his academic career at that time. His original suspension would have kept him away from campus until December of 2022. The junior running back has been removed from team activities for both football and track since the September altercation as the university went about its investigation and judicial process. He missed the entire 2021 football season following the incident. Though it remains unclear if or when Christon will rejoin the football team, Tuesday's decision keeps open the possibility that he could play for USC in 2022. Later Tuesday night, Yahoo! Sports reported that Christon had entered his name into the transfer portal, though he could still choose to remove his name and return to USC if given the opportunity to play again. - Orange County Register
