  In Marshall's 2021 spring football game, Thundering Herd wide receiver Shadeed Ahmed's first catch came uncontested as a defensive breakdown led to an easy pitch-and-catch for a score with him and quarterback Grant Wells. For Ahmed, though, this spring was about making sure the defense - nor anyone associated with the Herd - forgets him on the outside ever again. Ahmed drew praise from everyone associated with Marshall's program after a breakout spring that culminated with a five-catch, 124-yard performance that yielded two touchdowns in the spring game. "[Ahmad is] a young man that I've been grinding on since I got here because he's got all the talent in the world," first-year Marshall coach Charles Huff said. "He's just got to be consistent. I think he made some really good plays [in the game]. You got to see his skill set flash a little bit." Ahmed came to Marshall from Navarro College, and is one of three players who came to the Herd from the heralded Texas junior college in 2020. - Charleston Gazette

  The Vanderbilt football program is losing its leading rusher from last season. Running back Keyon Henry-Brooks has announced that he will enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. He is the second running back to transfer, joining Jamauri Wakefield, who entered the portal on Dec. 28, just two weeks after new coach Clark Lea was hired. Henry-Brooks will have two years of eligibility left, with the potential for a redshirt. Henry-Brooks played in six of Vanderbilt's nine games, starting in five of them, as a sophomore in 2020. He rushed 120 times for a team-high 494 yards and two touchdowns. He also tied for second on the team in receptions with 28, amassing 258 yards through the air. He was also one of only four Commodores to score multiple touchdowns, and he led the team in all-purpose yards per game with 125.3. - The Tennessean

  Baylor's run game left much to be desired, ending 2020 ranked last in the Big 12 with just 813 rushing yards. With star running back Craig "Sqwirl" Williams expected to return from injury next season, will this group make a comeback in 2021? Williams was supposed to take 2020 by storm. The three-year veteran has battled injuries throughout his career and sat the 2019 season out. He returned as the Bears' leading rusher last season, but the campaign was cut short after he suffered a season-ending knee injury in October. While Williams is expected to make a healthy return, there's some concern on whether he'll be able to avoid the injury bug. - Dallas Morning News

  Two SEC defensive backs announced they would be transferring to the Bulldogs as Vanderbilt cornerback Elijah Hamilton and Tennessee defensive back Baylen Buchanan made announcements on Twitter. Tech picked up two players with more than 60 total games of experience, and the added bonus of the playing time in college football's top conference. Both are graduate transfers and will use their final year of eligibility in Ruston in 2021.

Both are sons of former NFL players. Elijah Hamilton's father is Ruffin Hamilton, who was a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons. Baylen Buchanan's dad is Ray Buchanan, who spent time with the Indianapolis Colts, Falcons and Oakland Raiders and was a two-time Pro Bowler. Elijah Hamilton appeared in 33 games with the Commodores in three seasons and put together his best statistical season in 2020 with 24 tackles and three pass breakups. A three-star recruit out of Blessed Trinity Catholic School in Roswell, Georgia, he considered Army and Navy but ultimately signed with Vanderbilt in 2016. - Monroe News Star

  Kellton Hollins, a senior center from Lousiana, announced Monday via Twitter that he will enter the transfer portal. Hollins played in seven of the Frogs 10 games this season including one start against West Virginia. What made Hollins a standout player was not necessarily what he did on the field but what he did off of it. He was passionate about making a difference at TCU and leaving his mark on the campus which he did by heading a project where the words "END RACISM" were painted outside of TCU's football and basketball stadiums. He invited students, faculty and staff to sign their names on the mural. - Dallas Morning News
